The Andy Griffith Show Reunion: Back to Mayberry

50th anniversary special. Featuring Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, Jim Nabors, and Ron Howard. (2003)

[@jaychilders2306]

I have hundreds of channels now, yet I still end up watching Andy Griffith. It's like eating comfort food, just makes you feel good.

[@kellyu765]

It is the exact same for me….when I have the TV on it this show that I watch 95% of the time! Such a classic and touches the heart and brings real from the soul laughter! I’ve never found a show that I love more… A close runner up is Little House on the Prairie.

I watch it on Pluto. When the tv. is on is mostly on the Andy Griffith show. Is such a wholesome and heart warming show. I love it SO VERY MUCH! 😍 and I didn't even grow up in the United States. But It makes me feel like I have. It's definitely comfort food for the soul. Maybe it has to do in part with those good old days gone long ago. In a way I wish I was living in those days.

It's always important to remember and appreciate where you came from.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Arguably the DUMBEST thing I've heard in years

[@tripsadelica]

This show wasn't just loved in the US and Canada, it was also beloved in Australia because Aussies understood the small town vibe of the show. I vividly remember watching the show with my parents as a little kid. We'd be in front of our Astor (local Aussie brand) 21" b/w tv just loving every minute of every episode. I think the reason why my family loved the show (and I suppose most families did) was because of the natural warmth the actors created. And yes, we laughed WITH the actors, not at them. Vale to all the actors portrayed in this reunion show. All of them not only created a great tv show but cultural history. They engendered a love for the simple values underlying the US in every nation which took the show. I know that I have an abiding love for the US as our cousins across the sea.

Every night, at exactly at 7 and 7:30 pm , Monday-Friday I watch the Andy Griffith Show. It's a very relaxing show to watch. Very few shows on TV help me relax. I am a 58 year old single female that suffers from Anxiety and having to live alone doesn't help my Anxiety issues, but every night while watching the Andy Griffith show, even the repeats, really helps my Anxiety disappear and keeps me in a calm state of mind for the rest of the evening.

Anxiety sufferer here, also. The Andy Griffith Show has been my favorite and my valium of peace, serenity, and comedy, since I was a wee little lad. I feel like I live in another world where anxiety does not exist, when I watch it. I would do ANYTHING to be able to step into a portal, and be instantly transferred to Mayberry and that show be real life!

I watched the Andy Griffith Show from the time I was a young child. Later on, my work was in Law Enforcement and though some may laugh, I remembered a lot of how 'Sheriff Taylor' did his job on the show and often dealt with the citizens in much the same as I thought he would have treated them. I never had complaints of excessive force made against me or such. I feel that the influence of his character on the show was part of the reason.

Only a very few shows have endured in peoples lives like the Andy Griffith show has. Im soon to be 65 and Ive watched it ever since I can remember as a small child.

I still see it play on weekdays at seven PM and often find myself watching a favorite episode to take my mind off todays hot mess of a world. God bless Andy and the whole cast for the laughs and important morals and ethics they imparted on us in such an entertaining way. This show literally made me a better person in many ways when I would catch certain episodes that often had a life lesson that made one think and learn about whats really important in life.

Don't fear growing old it is a gift not bestowed upon many. Fear not death and have no regrets. Love is the glue that makes all of this possible. When the world seems so cold there are such reminders of this especially in shows such as this. We need better tv shows now days. The vulgarity of modern tv reminds me of how things have to be better. Not in any mean or military sense but in a sense of humour and in a sense of honour.

It takes away the sexual element entirely and allows the focus to remain on being a father, and by having an aunt or father in-law living in the house, it emphasizes a healthy family dynamic.

Because it wasn't the final goodbye...they hung out after the show, Don was sad because he got word of John Ritter's death

I grew up watching the Andy griffin show I really enjoyed it and I still like to set up at night and watch it sometimes it takes me back ❤
