Best Barney I have heard except for the real Don Knotts!!!!!So many great memories of Andy Griffith show!!Makes me feel like warm inside and the world is a great place when I watch it!!Best show on television then and now when shown!Clean down home fun!!!!!!
I'm 47 years old and I watch Andy Griffith every chance I get. Although the show was made before my time, I enjoy it as if it were fresh and new on tv. The thumbs down is most likely from the 90s generation on up . The generation that doesn't appreciate anything
I love that Bluegrass Band...really sweet playing ....there isnt anything to compare to some people who really truly love music down to their souls because it comes through their music their instrument tells a story.
Andy, and Barney, and Aunt Bee, and Opie, and Gomer and all of the other great lovable characters are now part of American folklore. They will last for generations to come.
We found a tom cat in rough shape in an alley laying right next to an empty bottle of whiskey, we rescued the weathered old tom took him to vet and doctored him up right as rain and named him OTIS!!!
This is as close to Mayberry as you are ever going to get. That show sure left a mark. I still watch it even though I have seen every single episode 10 times over. It's just fun.
Leave it to beaver Andy Griffith. Mackels navy,gomer Pyle Gilligan's island and other great comedies were pure humorous shows and the parents showing understanding principles and values not the trashy worthless shows the y have today...the fabulous 50s and 60s people don't know what they missed.
Man I love this show. I Gram got me watching this when I was a little boy. I am 44 years old now and not only does this show make me feel happy but it brings back and floods my mind and heart with memories of my Gram and I watching this together when I was just 5 years old maybe younger. I wanted to be Andy when I was a kid.
SAY what you want, but I've lived here in NC for 18 years now and never have I thought about moving...NC has grown up a bit since the Andy days, but the basics are still here, ingrown in all...No matter where you come from you'll learn "Southern" sooner than you think.
When my husband and I would travel back and forth from. NC to visit our families in WV we always stopped in Mt. Airy at the Wagon Wheel restaurant for supper or breakfast. Great food and really nice people.
can't believe the critics about this. we stayed here knowing it wasn't "really Mayberry" but in a true sense it was. has the spirit of mayberry. took the tour in an old police car, saw where andy lived & you can stay there. museum was interesting but most of all felt really welcomed by the locals.
Absolutely, we've traveled from the adirondacks several times to Mount Airy and got the same feeling. We also stopped on the way down in Skylàr Va. To visit Walton's Mountain.
Mayberry was like Gilligan's Island--a great place for mental escapism. Living here in S. Korea I purchased all but one of the Andy Griffith Show DVD's. Whenever I want to take my mind off of the rat-race pressures of today's society, I simply insert a disc and away I go. Away to a simpler time, when people knew how to solve their problems in a civil manner. When church-going was as much a part of life as town picnics, shopping, sheriffing, and baking cookies for a bazaar. I think it's a forged time that people dream of...just turning away from reality for a moment or two.
This is so awesome and the show was actually filmed at Desilu Studios, with the exteriors at forty acres in culver city California woodsy locales were filmed at Franklin Canyon
I am 60 years old and I was a baby when this show started I will be 61 in a couple of weeks and I absolutely love the show for so many reasons can you please share with me how I met engaged in memory of the Mayberry spirit in my opinion this the best family show ever in my bituary I wanted mention that she loved the Andy Griffith Show
I watch 2 episodes of Andy followed by 1 episode of Gomer Pyle every evening. Today's TV shows can't even compare to the entertainment you get from these 2 shows. They make me laugh and just feel happy everytime!!!!!!
Fantastic good video and celebration. Might put that one on my Bucket List along with a viewing of the original Rifleman rifle. It is said to be in a golf museum in Florida. Another on my list is Barney's original Motorcycle and Sidecar. It is said to be in a BBQ Restaurant/Museum in Colorado.
Is Floyd still a "miserable, deceitful WRETCH?" Howard McNear did that so well! That episode still cracks me up! It's nice to see Floyd still in Mayberry. He didn't move to Nashville, Houston, St. Louis, or wherever.
it was a most family oriented show that was Clean and apsolutely no violence or bad language.not like today now that's all a person hears reads or sees and even as much as experience which is soo sad 😥😒 and unnecessary.bring bk a healthy lifestyle and and happy people 😳 I also thinks that it's amazing to be so dedicated to such a fun and enjoyable show as the Andy geriffen show.😆😉keep the great work up.thank you for sharing 😳have a good day everyone 🌞☁⛅🌈🌠🌠🌠🌈🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐🌛🌺🌿🌼🍃🌿🌻🍃🌹🌿💐🍃💮🌿🌸🍃🌷🌿and god bless 😇😇
THAT GUY PLAYING BARNEY FIFE IS EXACTLY LIKE BARNEY AND FUNNY AS ALL GET OUT HE IS SO PERFECT HIS DELIVERY IS ON POINT HE IS VERY VERY FUNNY...HE IS BARNEY IMPROVED IF THATS POSSIBLE HE JUST MADE THE 5 OF US SAY BARNEYYYY AND WE LAUGHED LIKE HELL AT HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU.
Betty Lynn aka Thelma Lou, you were the prettiest of the ladies on the show . The sweetest darling anyone could ever have hoped for in real life as life long companion.
@8:09...I see Elinore Donahue was a big enough woman to make an appearance, despite only being on the show one season. Too bad "Warren" (Jack Burns) didn't make it.
I always wondered if some of the characters in the show were real life characters from Andy’s childhood ? Like Floyd and gomer and Barney and the darlings and Otis. Or were some real and some just made up.
About ten years ago I went on vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. There were several attractions that boasted look a like cars, people, etc. There was one gentleman who was a scary dead ringer for Barney Fife, We wondered if he was related. I spoke to him later asking that. He said no. It was just one of those things. I'm looking at Barney Fife talking to me in a different voice (as he was out of character) and it was freaky.
Not to discredit the man but seeing this màn was in his 90 s when this video was made and Àndy being born in 1926 it's hard for me to believe he ever cut Andy's hair.
@@jillharris9919 He never did. He has been a long-time barber, but not that long, he was only a couple of years older than Andy. And his shop was never known as Floyd's until Mayberry Days began. There is only one business there that was in operation when Andy was a child -- Snappy's. This was a nice little video that gives a good flavor of Mayberry Days, but it has several fact errors.
Ok @ 0.57 he said this was as close to actually being on the show.How does he figure that? I mean not even close.I assume he trying to look like Goober(aunt Bee would say Gooba).I guess i need to give these folks credit after all they are the most devoted and dedicated fans i have ever seen.Never the less i enjoyed the show too.
I stop at a truck stop there on I77 just before the Virginia line and inside they have a lot of stuff for sale relating to Mayberry. Some of it is pretty cool while some of it is just grabbing for money so you have to be careful. I never knew that Andy Griffith grew up in that town until I watched this video. I knew he came from North Carolina so I just assumed that was what it was about. That show always meant a lot to me but I feel that Andy Griffith and Ron Howard put a stain on those memories when they got dressed up and acted like father and son for a commercial for Barrack Obama, I can't recall if the commercial was to help him get elected or pushing for Obamacare, but I thought that was taking this whole Hollywood political scene into a place it need not go. To begin with, the town of Mayberry would not elect people like Democrats of today. Do you think Andy and Opie and Aunt Bea and Barney and all the rest would support Abortions or gay marriage? Now before anyone jumps on me for saying that, I DO support abortions (to a point) and I do support gay marriage. But there is no way Mayberry would support people being forced to buy insurance as Obamacare does and they certainly would not support Obama's worldwide apology tour he went on after being elected. Why does Hollywood think they can take things like this and use them for their own political agenda?
Ernest T. Sullied away. I did not care for him as Ernest T. . I understand he did direct some of the show's and I love to hear him sing but a little of him goes a LONG way.
Yeah, Floyd is still alive. He still zips around the barbershop pointing to himself in a mirror, yelling, "Miserable, deceitful wretch!" and threatening to move to Nashville, Houston, St. Louis, or wherever.
So called "real" Floyd the barber was not Griffiths childhood Barber. He was only 2 years older than Andy. Mayberry was not modeled after Mt Airy... from Griffith himself in an interview. Such a let down.
Google says Howard McNear ( Floyd ) died in 1969 at the age of 63, born in 1905, and Andy was born in 1926. They were wrong about Floyd still being alive too.
Best Barney I have heard except for the real Don Knotts!!!!!So many great memories of Andy Griffith show!!Makes me feel like warm inside and the world is a great place when I watch it!!Best show on television then and now when shown!Clean down home fun!!!!!!

The thumbs down is most likely from the 90s generation on up . The generation that doesn't appreciate anything
That is the BEST Barney Fife imitation I've ever seen.
Visit here: th-cam.com/video/CyucfX9m5LY/w-d-xo.html
Agreed
I think this show will still be on 50 years from now,,it was so great
Still funny timeless!!
I love that Bluegrass Band...really sweet playing ....there isnt anything to compare to some people who really truly love music down to their souls because it comes through their music their instrument tells a story.

Love the Barney Fife imitator. I watch it more now at 64 than I did as a kid
That guy doing barney is great.
Pretty much nailed it.
barbara harmon, I thought so too, He was great.
barbara harmon ... I thought so too....
Guys he wasn't even close, no one can do barney
@@jamesstripling3723 doesnt look like him but sounds terrific
The Barney Fife imitation was spot on!!! 👍👍
One of the best shows that has been on TV!!
This is as close to Mayberry as you are ever going to get. That show sure left a mark. I still watch it even though I have seen every single episode 10 times over. It's just fun.
The guy doing Barney's voice is spot on!!!!
That was nice ! I'm in my 60's and still watch the show multiple times, daily..never get tired of it !!
This is awesome Andy Griffith i love the show still watch it Mayberry town love it
This was a great event! That's the best Barn impersonator too! Wish I could go every year, so much fun!
This is beautiful. I love the show and I can't get enough of it.
Lakeside this is a raid

Me either, just can't get enough of it Stanley .
This is nice that they keep this alive,great show seen them all,never get enough.
I have been there 12 times love it more every year....
Man I love this show. I Gram got me watching this when I was a little boy.

I'm planning a trip there soon and I'm really looking forward to it, This was an awesome clip, The Andy Griffith show was just the greatest ever!
JayDogTitan, you may have already been there by now, but if you haven't, be sure and eat at the Snappy Lunch!

Clarence Hodges well put. .sometimes the nearest to that is when I go to church..nicer people there.
I'm an elder/pastor...sometimes church people are nicer.
The best Mayberry days documentary! Thank you for this Video share during these uncertain times. 😁 David Browning you rock and your not alone!
This is so awesome and the show was actually filmed at Desilu Studios, with the exteriors at forty acres in culver city California woodsy locales were filmed at Franklin Canyon
The guy Barney sounds just like him wow that’s awesome
I am 60 years old and I was a baby when this show started I will be 61 in a couple of weeks and I absolutely love the show for so many reasons can you please share with me how I met engaged in memory of the Mayberry spirit in my opinion this the best family show ever in my bituary I wanted mention that she loved the Andy Griffith Show
Beautiful voice in that singer.
I want to head there as E.T. Bass. Place could use his antics and mischief.
barney let me take E.T bass out to the back and kick him around Andy he would kill you lol.
@@noelwilliams4765 LOL, even Helen Crump told Barney "He'd kill ya".
Don't throw any rocks!
Miss those guys
Still my favorite television show of all time!
Oh, and by the way, it was too much GREASE (not oil) in the steering column.
Griffith did not model Mayberry after Mt Airy. He conducted an interview years ago and said so. The interview is on TH-cam
I watch 2 episodes of Andy followed by 1 episode of Gomer Pyle every evening. Today's TV shows can't even compare to the entertainment you get from these 2 shows. They make me laugh and just feel happy everytime!!!!!!
Fantastic good video and celebration. Might put that one on my Bucket List along with a viewing of the original Rifleman rifle. It is said to be in a golf museum in Florida. Another on my list is Barney's original Motorcycle and Sidecar. It is said to be in a BBQ Restaurant/Museum in Colorado.
Watch the show growing up, my kids watched the show also my grand kids watch this show growing up.
Is Floyd still a "miserable, deceitful WRETCH?" Howard McNear did that so well! That episode still cracks me up! It's nice to see Floyd still in Mayberry. He didn't move to Nashville, Houston, St. Louis, or wherever.
I still enjoy watching that show
it was a most family oriented show that was Clean and apsolutely no violence or bad language.not like today now that's all a person hears reads or sees and even as much as experience which is soo sad 😥😒 and unnecessary.bring bk a healthy lifestyle and and happy people 😳 I also thinks that it's amazing to be so dedicated to such a fun and enjoyable show as the Andy geriffen show.😆😉keep the great work up.thank you for sharing 😳have a good day everyone 🌞☁⛅🌈🌠🌠🌠🌈🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐🌛🌺🌿🌼🍃🌿🌻🍃🌹🌿💐🍃💮🌿🌸🍃🌷🌿and god bless 😇😇
Great values and all, but no one on the show was married. None of the major or even most of the minor characters.
sardu55 Otis was married and drunk on almost every episode because of it!
Man....when I leave Colorado to move back to N.C. I'm seriously thinking of settling down there!!
THAT GUY PLAYING BARNEY FIFE IS EXACTLY LIKE BARNEY AND FUNNY AS ALL GET OUT HE IS SO PERFECT HIS DELIVERY IS ON POINT HE IS VERY VERY FUNNY...HE IS BARNEY IMPROVED IF THATS POSSIBLE HE JUST MADE THE 5 OF US SAY BARNEYYYY AND WE LAUGHED LIKE HELL AT HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU.
🇺🇸NOW DAY'S America really has a REAL Barney Fife on every street corner in every city all across the United State's only in America🇺🇸
I met Don Knotts years ago when I worked a pharmacy in California
Why does this channel not have more subscribers... that's a shame!!
Come on people. Stop being so critical. It's just good fun. Geez.
I’ve met that Barney in this video when I was little then 8 years later I met him again in jonesville VA
I miss this show
Mr Hiatt the barber did not cut a young Andy Griffith’s hair. Also in the interview.
Some body should make this into a movie...
But Andy has argued repeatedly that he did not base Mayberry on Mt. Airy.
enjoyed this!
You gotta love Barney fife
Awesome!!
Betty Lynn aka Thelma Lou, you were the prettiest of the ladies on the show
.
The sweetest darling anyone could ever have hoped for in real life as life long companion.
Helen was the prettiest.
This was great..loved it.
@8:09...I see Elinore Donahue was a big enough woman to make an appearance, despite only being on the show one season. Too bad "Warren" (Jack Burns) didn't make it.
I would love to go to this. I wonder if they still do it....I hope that guy who does Barney is still alive. He was great..
Do they serve Aunt Bea's white beans? They're GOOD! No pickles though. I prefer Miss Clara's.
John Province ... I was just wondering if they had some of Aunt Bee’s “kerosene cucumbers” on display... 🙋🏻♀️
All the best to you and yours
@@aleciabjorlie3103 they do because they kill the flies
Can’t wait to go to Mayberry Days!
Lovvin' it!
And to think that Barney left Mayberry to reside in Mt Pilate.
Barney went to Raleigh to join police force not Mt Pilate
Mt. Pilot (Pilot Mountain)
@@jamesstripling3723 Indeed, remember he always said that is where he belonged, the asphalt jungle.
anybody know which day they celebrate Mayberry? I soo would love to go as aunt Bee or Clara.... Love the show watch reruns almost every day
There both deceased are you meaning the ladies that act like them
Last weekend in September each year
Was just at mt airy. Also at Mayberry days in Marion va
Nice reporting!
I always wondered if some of the characters in the show were real life characters from Andy’s childhood ?
Like Floyd and gomer and Barney and the darlings and Otis.
Or were some real and some just made up.
Ernest T Bass where is he???
Tuning up his gas can so he can serenade Charlene
I'm hoping I get Andy Griffith shirt from one of my kids for my birthday
Hey, it's R.J. Fritz.
It does not get any better than that.
May wanna write that bucket list down before that iPhone crashes. Lol
I would normally make fun of these people but I've seen every episode at least 50 times each so I relate 100 percent.
I still enjoy it on TVland 😄😆

I needed to correct the lady that named everything wrong with barney's car.
It was radiator hose and radiator hose couplings lol
when? I want to go! loved it!
Notice how Andy Griffith never went to Mayberry Days. He was tired of the residents saying things and taking claim to things that aren’t true.
Kind of scary and cool at the same time.
OMG LMFAO!!!!!!
There's no need to put God and the F word in the same sentence. Thanks
Enjoy this slice of America while you can. It won't last forever.
I heard that Andy and Helen used to "run over their lines" at the local Motel 6 on a regular basis. Why Andy Taylor you sit down and eat your supper.
I'm going next year
The "real Floyd the Barber" is still alive?
yeah I'm confused, I looked it up and it says he died 1969
Yes, the actor died but the original Floyd, the real Floyd is still alive, hope this clears it up
@@toadynamite8141 Ah gotcha

Guys the Thelma Lou Character is the only survivor of the show to date of the main characters that were adults at the time of the filming
that's not true. Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee and other have passed, but there are still some of the adults from the show that are still alive.
Of the main characters there isn't
Barney lol.

Well it's a place where All are welcomed and cared for ALL....
never heard of this event..
one of my favorite shows.
what, no snowflakes/ blm screaming, racist ? lol
I wonder if the streets out there is called Mayberry Street?
nope. it's main street.
The Andy Griffith Parkway is nearby however.
4:10 good job
Where's Barney's fun girls at ? 🤔😅😅
Probably got arrested somewhere else lol
I live in Mt. Airy and still havent watched tbe a dy griffeth show
Ok I will ask since no one else did? Why have you not watched the show? Aren't you curious what all the hubbub is about?
Donald Rumsfeld used to say "gollee".
Radiator hose coupling.. not cover..
Gomer says hey.
THEY NEED AN EARNEST TEE...!!! FUNNY.
And Bonnie's car was also stolen
Where's Ernest T. Bass? He's a nut!
Ernest T. Sullied away. I did not care for him as Ernest T. . I understand he did direct some of the show's and I love to hear him sing but a little of him goes a LONG way.
Wait I thought he said Floyd was alive and then he said he had died.
Yeah, Floyd is still alive. He still zips around the barbershop pointing to himself in a mirror, yelling, "Miserable, deceitful wretch!" and threatening to move to Nashville, Houston, St. Louis, or wherever.
