Small town Sheriff Andy Taylor is raising his son Opie (Ron Howard) with the help of Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) in Mayberry, North Carolina. With virtually no crimes to solve, most of Andy's time is spent calming down his bumbling but well-meaning Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts).

This show will be available ten generations from now for all to enjoy.

When he drives off and leaves Andy in the sidecar I lose it every time 😂😂😂😂😂

Hands down, the most gifted, funniest, skilled comedic actor of all time! So believable with perfect timing and a lengthy list of the most hilarious facial expressions on film! Rest in peace and thank you for a lifetime of comedy!❤

@@janessamarrano2611 - And to make it more complicated, Rock Hudson (In the photo in the mirror sequence) was gay and had to hide his sexuality from the public at the time or it would have finished his career (though friends and colleagues knew). He tragically died of AIDs in the early 80s.

I read somewhere that when Barney was yelling in Floyd’s and the group of recruits’ faces at the station about nipping it in the bud, they had to do 21 takes because Andy couldn’t stop laughing. Even then he was still hiding his face and chuckling on the last one. Even Don Knotts was trying not to crack up

@@nathanvarghese. You can tell that they are not really standing outside, because a moving shadow appears on what is clearly a photo of houses that are supposedly across the street. Sitcom TV was a simpler medium back then (smile).
