In the past 40 years I have seen every Mayberry episode at least 400 times. They never get old.

The golden era of television. Good, wholesome entertainment for the whole family. Not only humorous, but sprinkled with country wisdom, morals, religion and patriotism. The kind of show that one cannot find in modern day sit-com. Not only that, but I enjoy it since it reminds me of the small town where I grew up in SW Arkansas. The biggest difference is the fact that we had no police force. All we had was an old "night watchman". The "jail" was an 8x15 concrete building that had one barred window, a barred door in the front, and two separate cells divided by bars. The nearest police force was 15 miles away.

I always liked Barney explaining the special going on down at the dinner. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[mostamused]

"Hello, Juanita? Oh hi, Frank." 😂

[brendalaird]

My all time favorite show! Barney and Andy were the best.

[raelsackey]

His “singing” prowess was a running joke!

[ellisonhamilton]

Barney's bullet was my favorite running joke. Never failed to crack me up.
I miss shows like this from when we lived in a civilized country. I grew up on a farm just outside a small town so much like Mayberry.
God!....I miss those days.😢

[k.b.tidwell]

In a jailhouse down in Dixie fighting crime and risking life,
Live the sheriff and his buddy, pistol packing Barney Fife.

Oh my darin', oh my darin', oh my darin' Barney Fife!
He's a deadly crime stopper, what a copper, Barney Fife!

Then one day there come a ridin', two bad men to rob a bank,

But Fife was tricky, a dead-eye-dickie, now they're locked up in the tank.

EVERYONE JOIN IN NOW!


Oh my Barney, oh my Barney, had a jail and couldn't lock it.
Had one bullet for his pistol, had to keep it in his pocket.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Otis Campbell interaction is it's own category and ranks up there.

[jeffmayton]

One thing about Barney he was always on the job.

[jackluminous]

I enjoyed your video very much! 🐸
Thank you...

[patriot]

I got one for you, Barney’s eagerness to believe in the paranormal.

[raygarafano]

I came across over a 130 Andy Griffith episodes on DVD at walmarts an bought the box of gr8 shows. Funny is Mr. McBeeVee and Barny finding out Blackie the horse is invisible.

9/30/2024. Well, you only have half of the information. Much credit has to go to the major writers. Sure Don was a good actor, but what was wrote was "GOLD".

[bigdave]

Andy Griffith is on tv everyday in my area Alabama and after Don leaves show the next day the network starts at the beginning again season 1 it’s great
