I justed finished watching the entire series, and it is so Refreshing not to have to worry about language or skin on such a Great show like Andy Griffith.
There’s a good reason the Andy Griffith Show has never been off the air ever since the very first episode. That’s nearly 60 years. I’ve been watching the entire time. Seen every episode 100 times…but they never get old.
You can tell he's an actor that gets tired of being called by his stage name all of the time. He's Don! 🙂 Plus, Thelma Lou doesn't look like she's aged a bit!
These people will always live on in our hearts. Whether they are gone or still with us, the happiness they brought to us can never be forgotten. Thank you for posting this.
@@roxannemoser Just because she was mean, to some, does not mean she was mean, to everyone. For all i know, she might have given the "Good whatever the hell time of day it is, Ms. Bavier" Crowd, the finest Apple Pie, Fried Chicken and a Striptease Luncheon, they ever saw.
By far TAGS was the absolute best sitcom in the history of television. The entire cast was amazing. The storylines were incredible, the chemistry phenomenal. And Don Knotts was the heart, a true comedic genius. There will never be another TAGS, ever.
Since I moved in with my parents to take care of them mom and I watch the Andy Griffith show every day together. We love this show. We love Otis and when he rides the cow as a horse we laugh so much. Our most favorite show was the one with the loaded goat. 🤣
Still watch these reruns every night. I don't care if I've seen it a thousand times , I still love the Andy Griffith Show , and this show was way before my time. I love everybody that was on that show. Especially Earnest T. Crazy ass lollol
Rest in peace..love u all. Thank u so much for the memories and I can't tell u the yrs I spent in front of tv watching all of u as a kid .Gof bless and thank u
Just a wonderful show....I am in that 1st generation who grew up in the golden days of TV... This show is holsom and displayed good moral quality. ..Thanks for the memories!
The whole cast of the AGS is so humble yet so talented - unlike many of today’s stars who lack the humility and think far more of their talent than is warranted.
I wish they would release copies of these shows for sale. My son and I were interviewed by Ralph back in the 80s when he was 6 years old. It was so sad when Nashville Now left the air. I was listening to Ralph on WSM when he did his last all-night radio show. There will never be another Ralph Emory. When you see Ralph Emory you know you are going to be entertained.
So many from that show are dead and gone now. Still beloved, though. Howard McNear/Floyd the barber [1969], Frances Bavier/Aunt Bee [1989], Hal Smith/Otis [1994], Don Knotts/Barney [2006], George Lindsey/Goober [2012], and now Andy. Betty Lynn/Thelma is still alive as is Elinor Donahue. Such wonderful characters on a great show!! Thank you for uploading this.
@@jimbaldridge9392 I grew up watching the show and to see the characters live was so special. I was able to meet them and talk to them. It was incredible. I have a picture of me and Otis - he was so nice! Loved every minute of that weekend.
Hal Smith did a great job as Otis Campbell. But I remember him more fondly as JOHN AVERY WHITAKER on ADVENTURES IN ODYSSEY. Great radio drama which was entertaining for both kids and their parents. He was a staple on car trips. The kids would ask, "how much longer, Mom?" I'd answer, "Oh, 3 more Adventure episodes."
At 36 yo I came into AGS late.. Tv shows today have no idea how to make a wholesome show without shoving derogatory, racial or political agendas. This show was so clean and funny. These folks make me wish I lived back then. I'm thankful I have them to watch anytime I want. Rest in peace to the cast who are no longer with us.
I was 6 when this came out, and now I’m 35 😩 I grew up watching Andy Griffith and loved Otis, Rafe, the Dillard’s, and everybody. It’s crazy seeing how old they’d gotten, I think we all forget about the age when we watch these things 💔
This saddens me, what ever happened to the wholesome shows the whole family loved to watch. Lord I wish it We all could go back to a simpler place to live and raise familes😢😢😢
Thank you for posting this. Delightful to see them all. The episode where Thelma Lou shows up at the party with a husband was sad but appropriate. Barney left town and didn't marry her after being her boyfriend for so long. He dropped the ball! So she went ahead and got herself a husband.
Great actors and I'll bet they were great in their real lives. I belong to a Civil War history group. After meetings some of us go to the nearby pub. We call ourselves the Otis Campbell Society complete with a photo of Otis on the table. Calm down. We aren't drunks. Almost everybody even young people get the humor.
RIP Don Knotts, Jim Nabors, and my heart throb of all time, Miss Eleanor(Elinor)Donahue. I still watch episodes of the original show every week. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.
Allan Newsom has a podcast on youtube called two chairs no waiting. It's all dedicated to The Andy Griffith Show. They usually have a show on Monday nights they do live.
@@mikedavis8008 Mike, I strongly disagree with your take on "Ellie"... I thought she was great and wish she and Andy had stayed together. But, the show's success proves me wrong, I guess....lol
The actor who played Otis before Andy G. worked for a local L.A. TVstudio doing a kids cartoon show. Between cartoons he promoted products, stuff kids would nag Mom and Dad to buy for them. His main sponsor was a new restaurant chain International house of pancakes ( IHOP ). He was always telling kids to tell their parents to go to the place with the bright blue roof. He did it with a funny cartoon type voice. Many of the IHOP places closed, and open with a new name and business. But to this day 60 years later I can't drive by one of the places without thinking of his voice and the place with the bright blue roof.
Hal Smith was also the voice of the dog "Goliath" on the _Davy and Goliath_ claymation children's show that ran for decades; his most popular phrase there was a very deep baritone "Oh, Davey."
Love the Mayberry cast, with Barney being my very favorite. I love ❤️ Barney.. he was the show. Great TV shows back then in the good old days.. no cussin', no sex, etc. .. best of times.
My favorite character is Earnest T. Bass. The bricks he'd throw through windows was THE FUNNIEST THING TO A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS NOT IN THAT MUCH TROUBLE... BUT MAYBE CLOSE IN MY OWN WAY.
Sarah Gregory If you ever visit here in Morgantown, West Virginia there is a Don Knotts statue on High Street in our downtown area. It’s a wonderful piece of art created by WV native Jamie Lester. This is Mr Knotts hometown, there’s also a Don Knotts Boulevard. RIP MR KNOTTS
Lee Daniels I’m glad to share the information with fellow fans of Morgantowns’ Favorite Son! If you search the internet, I believe that you can view an image of the statue. The artist, Jamie Lester is quite talented and was very happy to have the opportunity to create an image of such a beloved West Virginian . There are less than 2 million residents in the Mountain State , so counting Mr. Knotts as one of our fellows is definitely an honor!
I think it’s great that Betty Lynn set the record straight and at least called out Aaron Ruben in the writers room over how awful she felt it was that they had Thelma Lou abandon Barney and marry someone else, and in the long run she was right because as she said most of the fans she spoke to over the years told her how much they hated that decision (my parents definitely hated it). But hey, at least she said something at the time. And that’s no slight against Aaron Ruben, he was one of the all time greatest classic TV writers but I also think that this interview and the guests on this segment also reflect how badly he and the writing staff dropped the ball after Don Knotts left. Obviously the show could never be the same without Barney but geez, the best they could do was come up with terrible, dull, unfunny characters like Warren the deputy, Howard Sprague the loser stuffed-shirt momma’s boy and Emmit the fix it guy?? Yeesh. There’s a reason you don’t see those actors featured on most of these retrospectives. Plus the plots overall were more boring, you had Andy’s real life anger issues bleeding into his character when Andy became more cranky and also occasionally rude to Aunt Bee, just bleh. The color episodes are just a downer overall. I also want to say in my opinion George Lindsay would have made a great replacement deputy after Barney left. Also, hearing Hal Smith do his famous Winnie the Pooh voices was fantastic. Great video all around!
Ralph used to have a storage unit at s place I worked.. he always introduced himself when he came in.. "Hello.. I'm Ralph Emery". Anyway.. Andy Griffith was the best show that ever came on television.
Andy's girlfriends included Eleanor Donahue, Julie Adams, Joanna Moore, and Anita Coursault. Joanna Moore did a lot of drama guest starring roles in western and police dramas. She was once married to Ryan O'Neal and was Tatum O'Neal's mother.
Look how long the show has been in syndication!! This was a legendary show, and STILL lives in the hearts of us all!! It is still better than any show that has been on since, outside of the Carol Burnett show!
Barney was great, but it wasn't just Barney leaving the show that ruined it, the writing, the message, a lot changed once they went to color in season 6. There were several funny shows in black and white where Barney didn't appear that were hilarious; Aunt Bee's Brief Romance, The Family Visit, and Gomer The House Guest, just to name a few.
Best half hour of weekly TV that has ever been produced, bar none. To this day ... as I'm flipping channels and can't find something WHOLESOME to make me laugh ... I click to re-runs of the broadcast. If hollyweird was smart, they would come up with a similar type of weekly broadcast, though I doubt that ANY could reach the level that A.G. Show reached. All the characters were awesome, but Barney was my favorite.
Thelma Lou is the only one still alive. 93 years old. god bless her and everybody else from that show. such amazing childhood memories from that show. Andy was like a father figure in my living room for 30 minutes on friday nights and the shows that followed were Star Trek (William Shatner , another father figure) and Dragnet after that before i had to go off to bed. such priceless memories. i feel lucky to have experienced such tv shows and that time period. wish i wasnt the only one still alive from those days. miss everybody, then nowadays when i hear that Earle Hagen whistling tune , i choke up.
Don Knotts took that role and truly owned it. Few supporting characters are that important to a show. Barney won something like 5 Emmys. I loved Andy, too, but if you watch the first few years he was more animated, more country, his character smiled and sang, he was friendly with everyone and gave sage advice. As the show wore on - it’s like he tired of the part and phoned in his performance. He shook his head a lot, and his character was always aggravated at Barney, Aunt Bea, everyone really. I think his transition of acting style is unparalleled. I’ve never seen a character’s personality change that much. I was surprised to hear - from Andy himself in interviews - admit that Francis Bouvier (Aunt Bea) couldn’t stand him. He said they fought a lot. Can you imagine screaming at “Ain’t Bea”? Lol.
thanks for shuch a great show i still enjoy it ...all awsome actors....thelma lou u was allways the hottest girl in mayberry.....love u guys...................
I still watch andy Griffith every day .I love it .❤😊
The Andy Griffith is by far better than any show on TV nowadays.
You got that right…
A comfort show. Love these guys forever.
What a wonderful group of people. Living forever in TV land.

Aunt Bea was a mean old woman after this show ended. She cussed out anybody that mentioned Aunt Bea. She lived in Siler City NC until she died.

Raif Hollister! What a voice. I wish he'd made a few records.
Barney made the show. I also loved Otis Campbell who played the part of a drunk brilliantly.
That was actually a man named hal smith. Brilliant voice actor.
By far TAGS was the absolute best sitcom in the history of television. The entire cast was amazing. The storylines were incredible, the chemistry phenomenal.
And Don Knotts was the heart, a true comedic genius.

Watched in college at 5 every day Loved it😍
It was one of the most descent heart warming TV show I have ever watched, ever.
Love Otis so funny. He usually just drank and walked. Loved this show

Otis is the best Television drunk ever
He is! Even came dressed the part.
Foster Brooks portrayed an amazingly drunk, just not on the Andy Griffith show.
He kind of looks like Ron white
Hal Smith in real life was a Christian man and didn’t drink and never did. But he did play a good drunk guy. He was a mess,
I want to see him and Barney from The Simpsons get in a fight.
I still watch about a dozen shows a week.Otis was very talented.
I loved all the shows and will never stop
