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.
As a grown man, I seriously get teary eyed watching this. This is by far the best show ever. Rip to everyone from the show. 😥. I'm only 34 years old but I feel like this show was part of my life.
This was a good show, and it would on my top 10 (maybe even my top 5). But it was NOT these best show ever! You can NOT compare this show to Petticoat Junction or Green Acres.
Same here I'm 35 and still watch it on a daily basis it always takes me back to when I would always watch it with my grand parents... it's sad to think the entire cast is all gone except for Ron... I always get a tear in my eye..
I believe we still do. You've seen the TH-cam videos where a guy orders 100 food items, the restaurant ask what he's gonna do with them, tells him he's going to hand them out to the homeless. Inevitably restaurant usually donates the food, it's handed out to the people who are all so appreciative and thank him. Don't let all the vile stuff you see on the news or Twitter make you think that's the way everything is. They just cherry pick everything bad. The good stuff doesn't make the news. 99.9% of the general public I interact with on any given day seem polite and kind. Of course there's always exceptions 🙂
Values ? Like the klan ? Colored bathrooms no Mexican signs in Tx ? What you're watching regardless is a fantasy whether it's home alone in a nice upper middle class neighborhood or Mayberry
@@stevet7487 I'm the same age and I grew up watching Barney Fife, and he made me LAUGH a lot! I got rid of my cable over 10 years ago, but I'd still like to see TAGS again bcuz of the HEART-warming characters on there.

At least Ron Howard, despite him becoming a big time Hollywood director, comes back and embraces the show! That's more than I can say for a lot of TV show characters who get big and then never come back to reunions.
Yeah I love that. He didn't forget where he came from and clearly has very fond memories of his time on this show. Love to see it. Same with Chris Pratt with Parks & Recreation. He's now a world-famous action movie star but anytime he gets a chance to talk about Parks & Rec, you can tell how excited he gets. It's always important to remember and appreciate where you came from.
I remember when I came to the US to learn English. I used to watch a lot of TV and fall in love with this show. Simple stories but never boring and easy to understand. This show was never popular in Switzerland, but it should have been.
Howard's memoir with brother Clint ( "The Boys") gives a lot of insight on how he got to be such a great little actor and what made the show so special, along with his journey becoming a great director.
I'm 37 now and watched this awesome show growing up at my grandparents house all the time. These were the best times growing up so wish we had some shows like this now on TV. Now that I have my own child I'll definitely have her watching this as much as I can . RIP to all the cast that have gone but will not be forgotten.
I just lost my kitty named after Opie. He was 16. I loved this show. Even though I was not born when it first aired I saw it in syndication years later.
Same here. Been watching since I was a kid and am now 57. I like to have it running while Im doing things around the house, to keep me company. Warms up the home.

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've watched every episode of The Andy Griffith Show at least 50 times and it never gets old. God Bless the show and its characters for making something truly special and enduring. 🍻 to the GREATEST TV show the world has ever known!
OK, which was your FAV episode joey? Or Top 10 maybe? I liked the hostage episode when Barney and Floyd are tied up in the cabin by 3 FEMALE CONvicts! I still L0L just thinking about it! Of course ol RELIABLE Andy RESCUES them from them butch MEANIES!
...My favorite is Mr.(sorry, name escapes me)... the pole ,tree climbing man that Opie tells Andy about and no one believes him...jingles when he walks, etc...Andy finally goes to the wooded area and meets him...
Same here Norman. I was born in 73. But I watched the show almost everyday. They played the reruns everyday. I can't believe Ron Howard is 70 years old. I was thinking 50 maybe. Time just flies. But what a great show that was.
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.
To this day I never get tired of this show. No matter what age, or stage of life I was in, I would keep this show on if I came across it. One of the streaming networks had it (possibly still does), and of course I watched it all over again. Now here I am in 2024 watching this special again.
I was 4 years old when I started watching The Andy Griffith Show in 1967 my mother used to put me in a high chair and say you want me to put on the whistling show ,due to the show's intro in order for the show to get my attention and she would be able to feed me before sending me off to school to this day I still watch the show because it brings so much fond memories of the show and of my mother who has passed.
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.
I love your comment and can't believe you don't have more replies. There is nothing silly about the way you do your job. I wish all officers thought this way.
Man, grown man tears here..😭🥹 Seeing this had me feeling so sad for the generation we're in now. I literally weeped for the emptiness of the young folks coming up. These typed shows gave real life reality checks each episode..
When I was an undergraduate in college, I met a Catholic priest, a Jesuit who was also a PhD. in philosophy. I once asked him about his obviously in-depth study of philosophy and he told me that all of the philosophy anyone needed to know could be found on the Andy Griffith Show. The priest was right. Andy was the sheriff without a gun whose approach was to "kill 'em with kindness."
I use to HATE watching TV Land with my dad when I was a kid after he got off work. Because we only had one TV. Usually at 6-7 he would give me the remote to watch wrestling or whatever. But damn. As I got older watching TV Land and Nick at Night with him I can't help but cherish those moments and even love most of the shows I watched. They really helped me mature in lots of ways. I'm 31 but I feel 51 because of these amazing shows lol
I wasn't born until 1963, but I grew up loving this show. Ron Howard was so funny and super cute. But my favorite one was the bully who kept taking Opie's milk money. That one always makes me cry. As did the Birds that Opie raised. I'm 61 now and I still love watching the Andy Griffith show.
I’m 70 and moved to the USA from Mex. when I was 8. This was my favorite show to watch. I wanted to live in a small town like Mayberry! Opie and Andy were my favorite actors.
The last scene where Barney describes Andy as the sheriff that goes by the heart made me tear up. We need shows like this so badly now!!! I grew up with it, I was 3 almost 4 when the show came on in October 1960. I still love seeing these shows in 2021!!! some 60 years!
I'm 46 and grew up on the ANDY GRIFFITH show. My parents did as well and so did both MY children (now 17 & 28). I feel like the characters were real people in my past. This was one of the BEST shows EVER made. They don't make shows like that anymore. I wish we all could live in Mayberry.
I'm 61 and have watched the Episodes so often and I have loved ALL the Characters played so much that I feel as if you're part of "my past "...Beautiful People you where....
Brilliant writing and wonderful characters that are remembered to this day. We were lucky to have the Andy Griffith show. You never know how much you miss it until it is gone.
By far, the best show in the history of television. It was a comedy, a drama, and made the audience feel like they were part of Mayberry. It made of impact on every parent and child that watched the show. 😃😃
It took me a while to CONNECT the dots from Mt. Airy-Mayberry! Doh! I wonder if Andy named the town Mayberry or the producers, bcuz he is from Mt. Airy, IIRC? BTW, Helen Wheels lol was a FAV character on there for me! She was very pretty! Aneta Corsault. She reminds me of Miss Tuttle in Grade 4 when I was a lad! It's NEATO reminiscing... (=
@@mr.blackhawk142 Andy was born in Mt Airy`s but the real Mayberry he named the show after didn`t have anything to do with Mt Airys the people from Mt Airys did that just to cash in on some money and get visitors to the town. The "REAL" Mayberry is around 20 miles north. Called Mayberry Virginia the real town that both his parents came from. And the town Andy named the show after. !!!
I’m 56, grew up in Austin,Texas in a Black neighborhood and this show reminds me of that place. The values and morals are timeless and good people are everywhere. Pray we are restored as good people and good neighbors in Jesus Name.
I'm 24 Years old, and I feel like I'm at home every time I watch The Andy Griffith Show, I was raised with parents and grandparents that had The Andy Griffith show on their TVs everyday, all day, I know I wasn't alive during the time my grandparents were growing up, but I will always feel like that I'm in the Andy Griffith show, My grandparents were just like Andy Taylor and they gave me advice just like Andy's. I had my own little Mayberry town growing up. I get teary eyed watching the Andy Griffith show.
Ron Howard and I are the same age. While each episode was new, as I watched, I’d didn’t even realize that we were little, together. As years have marched on, I’ve watched these episodes with my children and my grandchildren and tell each of them that I was that little too when we watch Opey. These shows were pivotal to watch with my Mom as I cared for her in her home while her life was ending four years ago. We laughed and reminisced about those simpler times in life in all the subject matters that were the heart of each show. Truly, the best of the best in each actor’s character and most of all, its theme song. I love that I still get to watch each evening. Happy 70th Birthday year, Ron Howard! Thank you for my childhood memories and for this Andy Griffith Show Reunion. RIP to those who’ve left us.
What a great show, so basic,so simple, just the way most of us escape the real world and wish we could live a Mayberry like life! Thanks to those still living and RIP to those who have passed on!
For those that grew up with this show, or have nostalgic memories tied to it, this can be bittersweet and emotional. Much of the cast is gone now but we'll always have those memories.
I was born in 1992 my grandmas & dad would always watch this show eventually I became a fan it just gives u a sense of peace in this crazy world when people had morals & standards 🤦🏼♂️🙏🏼
We own the series…we are rewatching it now …for the 4th time….i am 61……they just don’t make em like this anymore…people are crazy now and wouldn’t understand.
Go to 9:43 - Ron and Andy sitting on a bench - the love and appreciation for each other demonstrated by their words, and facial expressions is so moving - check it out - it this was a scene in a movie you'd be moved to tears - how heart felt
I use to love to watch my late husband watch Mayberry. He laughed over and over at each episode over and over !! I so enjoyed watching him enjoy. I have remarried and still watching and my husband laughs and laughs. Andy Griffith came on when I was about to turn 6 and is a BIG part of my entire life.
I still love all the episodes that had Don in them. Watching the reunion show from 2003 makes me sad... seeing them so frail.. wow... makes me scared of growing old! I tell my daughter all the time that just turned 30 to please, please live every day to its fullest as life is fleeting. R.I.P Don and Andy... in a world full of politics and hate it is still wonderful to turn on an episode of Andy Griffith and see good, clean, wholesome comedy that also taught a lesson.
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.
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 literally at times wish I had grown up in Mayberry especially in todays broken world. 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.
The whole reunion was awesome to watch, but the part at the end where they said goodbye and Andy told Ron that he loved him really got me emotional. This is a show I've watched since I was around 5 or 6 when I would visit my grandparents on the weekends, and I still re-run it every year. I'm only 28, but it just goes to show how incredible a show this is that even people who were born long after it was being made can still love it and cherish it as if they lived it the same way Andy, Don, Ron, and all the other actors did.
Why can’t life be like this in 2020 as it was in 1960 ? Even though this was a television show it still reflected a better time , when people had morals and values . Time traveler take me back !!! this show was magnificent and shall always remain as a reminder as how life SHOULD BE ! Look around at our world today ..... what would you give to go back to this time and place? It’s only fictional, don’t we wish life today was too?
I could not say it better. Well written. I say the same every every day of my life. Now, we live in a dangerous, unsafe world, where more people worry more about themselves. In some way we have became uncivilized.
Opie was by far, THE cutest, must talented little kid!❤❤❤ I loved ALL of Opies episodes. One of my favorite episodes was when, Opie played a sore track loser.😊 One of my Barney favorites was when he tried to say the Preamble. 😂 I absolutely loved, when Andy sang and played the guitar.😊
Wow.. That last moment they were saying goodbye broke me. My heart aches for such simple times as they had in Mayberry.. There will never be another program that will even come close..
@@88mphsss Agreed, but why did they have to kill-off the mothers in those two series? I loved 'Aunt Bee', but I think a real mother would have sufficed.
@@MrMenefrego1 I like the widower aspect. 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. If it were today they'd make a big deal out of in-law friction, or deserving compensation for their housework.
I watched this as a kid. I'm 55, my husband is 61. We watch it now on Pluto TV. It's the best!! It always had a lesson to learn, a moral to every episode. And it was good clean fun 😃❤️!!
I’m 19 years old but my parents raised me on Andy Griffith and all the old classics. They are simply the best and this episode was so heartwarming. It’s timeless and I’m grateful to be able to know what it’s all about
My dad used to love watching this show when I was a kid but at the time I didn't care for it and just wanted to watch cartoons. Now that my dad's gone, I come back to watch this sometimes. Makes me feel like I'm watching it with him again. I've definitely learned to appreciate it
Yes I feel the same way too I lost my dad at 11 and he used to watch this all time . Also my grandma would watch it alot when I came over but now both are gone it's really hard hut I feel when I watch this I'm back in time sorta in some kind of way
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.
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 feel the same way about The Waltons, which I grew up watching. I still watch it because it's about a simpler time.
@@redneckgirl3326 we all wanted Grandpa as our own :)

All day here in Chicago.
SAME HERE I HAVE IT ON RIGHT NOW NICE MEMORIES ❤
Me too! Also 63. I watch it on Pluto during dinner :) The good people of Mayberry help with digestion.
I watch it all the time and raised my girls watching it. I think it taught so many morals that most children don’t have today.

I'm sure Ron Howard wasn't looking for praise, but he deserves some. He was a wonderful child actor...a real natural.
And one of the greatest movie directors ever
Howard's memoir with brother Clint ( "The Boys") gives a lot of insight on how he got to be such a great little actor and what made the show so special, along with his journey becoming a great director.
The audio version is read by the Howard brothers which made it extra special.
Also the few child actors who never did drugs or drank. Plus he is happily married to the same women after all these years
You're right. And he's still contributing his gifts to television and motion pictures.....❤

I've watched every episode of The Andy Griffith Show at least 50 times and it never gets old. God Bless the show and its characters for making something truly special and enduring. 🍻 to the GREATEST TV show the world has ever known!
Try 1000 x
OK, which was your FAV episode joey? Or Top 10 maybe? I liked the hostage episode when Barney and Floyd are tied up in the cabin by 3 FEMALE CONvicts! I still L0L just thinking about it! Of course ol RELIABLE Andy RESCUES them from them butch MEANIES!
...My favorite is Mr.(sorry, name escapes me)... the pole ,tree climbing man that Opie tells Andy about and no one believes him...jingles when he walks, etc...Andy finally goes to the wooded area and meets him...
...Mister. Mac beevy...I think was the name
It’s crazy how time flies.
Look at these guys only Ron Howard is still living. Cherish your loved ones and tell your people you love them ❤️
Knotts died only 3 years after this and Andy 9 years. RIP.
WTF? We ALL die
I bet you're fun at parties 😂@@BAKER22-l4u
Thelma Lou is still alive Barneys Girlfriend
@@SNATRAVELS no she passed away a year or two ago. Sad news when I heard .
Its 2024 and I still enjoy The Andy Griffith show just as much as I did back when I was a young kid in the early 70's.
Some things just never get old and this show is one of those things.❤❤
Ron Howard is 70. Mayberry aired my birth year. How life zooms by.😢
Same here Norman. I was born in 73. But I watched the show almost everyday. They played the reruns everyday. I can't believe Ron Howard is 70 years old. I was thinking 50 maybe. Time just flies. But what a great show that was.
@@wilmabaker4500 You GOT it wilma!
@@tomjones5650 Richie Cunningham is only ONE year younger than...MOI.? RON HOWARD was/IS a genuine nice guy!
I love the old shows. The Andy Griffith Show may be the best of them.
If not the best, it's right UP there isn't it?
@@mr.blackhawk142
I think it was the best for sure.
This show taught life lessons that never get old. Man we could sure use more of this kind of tv
Don’t hold your breath.
Those were wonderful years!
This is when TV was worth watching unlike today
I am 57 years old I love Andy Griffith movies . Thanks for video
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.
Thank you for sharing this! Peace!
Loved the show and at 70 still love it.
To this day I never get tired of this show. No matter what age, or stage of life I was in, I would keep this show on if I came across it. One of the streaming networks had it (possibly still does), and of course I watched it all over again. Now here I am in 2024 watching this special again.
WTF is WRONG with you?
Same. The funny thing is, I'll get sick of watching some reruns and not watch them for years, but I never tire of watching this show for some reason.
@@crashburn3292 It STRIKES a chord on our HEART-strings doesn't it CB3292?
Best show ever. Still watch every day.
Arguably the DUMBEST and MOST IDIOTIC thing I've EVER heard
I was 4 years old when I started watching The Andy Griffith Show in 1967 my mother used to put me in a high chair and say you want me to put on the whistling show ,due to the show's intro in order for the show to get my attention and she would be able to feed me before sending me off to school to this day I still watch the show because it brings so much fond memories of the show and of my mother who has passed.
I have watched every episode so many times I can recite the words ... this is STILL my #1 escape from life after a long day... Andy and a cold one
It's over 90 degrees in my room right now at 10:45 PM, and I could sure use that COLD ONE! =)
I just loved it when andy told Ron he was very proud of him that brings up some emotions.
This show and it's reruns were part of everyone's childhood. RIP Andy, Francis, Don, Jim and George.
Lol..WTF?
@@BAKER22-l4u loL..FTW?
I didn't know that Floyd died in 1969, just 2 years after TAGS did in 1967! I named my cat after him! He's laying next to me as I type this!
I'm 60 years old and retired and I still love to watch the Andy Griffith show the good ole days of reality ❤😂
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.
Thank you for your service! That's Good to hear from you. We need what Barney applauds Andy for, treating the Heart.
GOD Bless you!
I wish the cop who pulled me over recently for “talking on my phone” (I don’t even own a cell phone) thought the same way.
I love your comment and can't believe you don't have more replies. There is nothing silly about the way you do your job. I wish all officers thought this way.
I love this. Thank you for your service.
If you handled people Alot like Andy then there is no doubt your a great police officer!! Thank you for your service!
Man, grown man tears here..😭🥹 Seeing this had me feeling so sad for the generation we're in now. I literally weeped for the emptiness of the young folks coming up. These typed shows gave real life reality checks each episode..
I feel you on that
When I was an undergraduate in college, I met a Catholic priest, a Jesuit who was also a PhD. in philosophy. I once asked him about his obviously in-depth study of philosophy and he told me that all of the philosophy anyone needed to know could be found on the Andy Griffith Show. The priest was right. Andy was the sheriff without a gun whose approach was to "kill 'em with kindness."
I'm 64 and I grew up with Andy and Barney. Thank you for putting it on.
I use to HATE watching TV Land with my dad when I was a kid after he got off work. Because we only had one TV. Usually at 6-7 he would give me the remote to watch wrestling or whatever. But damn. As I got older watching TV Land and Nick at Night with him I can't help but cherish those moments and even love most of the shows I watched. They really helped me mature in lots of ways. I'm 31 but I feel 51 because of these amazing shows lol
I wasn't born until 1963, but I grew up loving this show. Ron Howard was so funny and super cute. But my favorite one was the bully who kept taking Opie's milk money. That one always makes me cry. As did the Birds that Opie raised. I'm 61 now and I still love watching the Andy Griffith show.
Me, too. I cried with the bird episode. I didn’t cry with the bully episode. It made me furious.
R.I.P to this great man. grew up watching this with my stepdad. i still love it. they do not make shows like that anymore.. good old fashion values.
RIP to all that have passed. Great show. Im glad they got together
I’m 70 and moved to the USA from Mex. when I was 8. This was my favorite show to watch. I wanted to live in a small town like Mayberry! Opie and Andy were my favorite actors.
What made the show so great was the fact that all the actors were so genuine. I got chocked up watching this, wish we could go back to simpler times
Everyday at 6 pm
I watch this. Best show ever ! 2024
The pluto app has a 24 hrs andy griffith!

Thelma Lou, shown at 3:06, is still with us today 2/23/21, and is 94 years old.
Ive met her in person
And just turned 95 on August 29.
@@GalapagosPeteUnfortunately she died on October 16th a few months later 😭
I'm 64 years old, and this is still my favorite show. The Andy Griffith Show represents such a wonderful time.
I loved the Andy Griffith show. They had a lot of great actors a lot of great musicians and great music. 💕
One of the best shows ever. I miss days like that. Thank you ladies and gents and to all involved for that big slice of Americana
I watch the reruns every day.
The last scene where Barney describes Andy as the sheriff that goes by the heart made me tear up. We need shows like this so badly now!!! I grew up with it, I was 3 almost 4 when the show came on in October 1960. I still love seeing these shows in 2021!!! some 60 years!
Ron Howard was indeed very fortunate to be involved with the show because it made him the Man he is today
Great to see Ron Howard become a respected director but still have time to come back for a reunion to his humble beginnings in 2003.
Facts 💯💯💯
I was raised watching Andy Griffith show. Then as an adult, I watched the reruns. I enjoyed it so much.
I’m 44 years old. Born in 1980. I still watch this show at least weekly, if not every other night. My favorite show… by far!
I'm 46 and grew up on the ANDY GRIFFITH show. My parents did as well and so did both MY children (now 17 & 28). I feel like the characters were real people in my past. This was one of the BEST shows EVER made. They don't make shows like that anymore.
I wish we all could live in Mayberry.
All true
Facts
Yup. It still holds up today, it's still funny and relatable today.
I'm 61 and have watched the Episodes so often and I have loved ALL the Characters played so much that I feel as if you're part of "my past "...Beautiful People you where....
I’m 14 and this show is a part of my life 😂
Brilliant writing and wonderful characters that are remembered to this day. We were lucky to have the Andy Griffith show. You never know how much you miss it until it is gone.
Hard to believe it only aired for 8 years. That's crazy. I've seen every episode at LEAST 3 times, and love'em every time
Why? It WASN'T good
By far, the best show in the history of television. It was a comedy, a drama, and made the audience feel like they were part of Mayberry. It made of impact on every parent and child that watched the show. 😃😃
By far the most IDIOTIC and IGNORANT thing I've EVER heard
My daddy was born October 17 1960, we loved this show.
Crying! Thank you for this trip down wonderful memory lane.
I love this!!! I'm currently in Mayberry, NC (Mount Airy) and I feel the sense of closeness in this town.
It took me a while to CONNECT the dots from Mt. Airy-Mayberry! Doh! I wonder if Andy named the town Mayberry or the producers, bcuz he is from Mt. Airy, IIRC? BTW, Helen Wheels lol was a FAV character on there for me! She was very pretty! Aneta Corsault. She reminds me of Miss Tuttle in Grade 4 when I was a lad! It's NEATO reminiscing... (=
@@mr.blackhawk142 Andy was born in Mt Airy`s but the real Mayberry he named the show after didn`t have anything to do with Mt Airys the people from Mt Airys did that just to cash in on some money and get visitors to the town. The "REAL" Mayberry is around 20 miles north. Called Mayberry Virginia the real town that both his parents came from. And the town Andy named the show after. !!!
I’m 56, grew up in Austin,Texas in a Black neighborhood and this show reminds me of that place. The values and morals are timeless and good people are everywhere. Pray we are restored as good people and good neighbors in Jesus Name.
@@cjwallace4559 Amen🙏🙏
Yes what a show. I know I will never forget it. Those were the days. Sad to say we will never see times like those again😕😥😒☹
@@kelvinbrendapersad297 What a show, indeed. And maybe seeing those times again ay be up to us?
Yes. In Jesus name. Amen.
That's a treasure and i grew up with that show 👍👍👍👍👍
Andy was always good about plugging the writers, the make up artist and others in his interviews over the years, class act.
I'm 24 Years old, and I feel like I'm at home every time I watch The Andy Griffith Show, I was raised with parents and grandparents that had The Andy Griffith show on their TVs everyday, all day, I know I wasn't alive during the time my grandparents were growing up, but I will always feel like that I'm in the Andy Griffith show, My grandparents were just like Andy Taylor and they gave me advice just like Andy's. I had my own little Mayberry town growing up. I get teary eyed watching the Andy Griffith show.
17 years old and The Andy Griffith show is one of the best TV shows ever made.
Ron Howard and I are the same age. While each episode was new, as I watched, I’d didn’t even realize that we were little, together. As years have marched on, I’ve watched these episodes with my children and my grandchildren and tell each of them that I was that little too when we watch Opey. These shows were pivotal to watch with my Mom as I cared for her in her home while her life was ending four years ago. We laughed and reminisced about those simpler times in life in all the subject matters that were the heart of each show. Truly, the best of the best in each actor’s character and most of all, its theme song. I love that I still get to watch each evening. Happy 70th Birthday year, Ron Howard! Thank you for my childhood memories and for this Andy Griffith Show Reunion. RIP to those who’ve left us.
Im 39,i grew up on this show,watching with my grandfather and father..its not just a show,its a memory.
One of the best shows ever. Love Andy Griffith show. Sad they don't make shows like this anymore,and sad most of the cast is gone.
But the show and its stories live on, to teach and nurture anyone who watches, at any age and any stage of life...what a wonderful legacy!! 🥲👍❤🫂
@@bevfitzsimmonds3382yes
The Andy Griffith show the best show of all time most realistic family show ever done THANK YOU
Am I the only one who liked seeing the old commercials… it brings me back.
How many are getting through watching this and going str8 to watch the andy Griffith show??? Meeeeeeee
I watch it every night... absolutely love it ❤
@@lanceprzybyla7662 watch it every week
Andy Griffith show is one of my favorite shows ever still watching it
I am the same age as Ron Howard, and I still watch TAGS every day, sometimes twice. This brought tears to my eyes.
What a great show, so basic,so simple, just the way most of us escape the real world and wish we could live a Mayberry like life! Thanks to those still living and RIP to those who have passed on!
For those that grew up with this show, or have nostalgic memories tied to it, this can be bittersweet and emotional. Much of the cast is gone now but we'll always have those memories.
I was born in 1992 my grandmas & dad would always watch this show eventually I became a fan it just gives u a sense of peace in this crazy world when people had morals & standards 🤦🏼♂️🙏🏼
Yep 🙏
We own the series…we are rewatching it now …for the 4th time….i am 61……they just don’t make em like this anymore…people are crazy now and wouldn’t understand.
Go to 9:43 - Ron and Andy sitting on a bench - the love and appreciation for each other demonstrated by their words, and facial expressions is so moving - check it out - it this was a scene in a movie you'd be moved to tears - how heart felt
Love ,love these three.Andy and Don are greatly missed.❤❤
I use to love to watch my late husband watch Mayberry. He laughed over and over at each episode over and over !! I so enjoyed watching him enjoy. I have remarried and still watching and my husband laughs and laughs. Andy Griffith came on when I was about to turn 6 and is a BIG part of my entire life.
I still love all the episodes that had Don in them. Watching the reunion show from 2003 makes me sad... seeing them so frail.. wow... makes me scared of growing old!
I tell my daughter all the time that just turned 30 to please, please live every day to its fullest as life is fleeting.
R.I.P Don and Andy... in a world full of politics and hate it is still wonderful to turn on an episode of Andy Griffith and see good, clean, wholesome comedy that also taught a lesson.
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.
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 literally at times wish I had grown up in Mayberry especially in todays broken world. 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.
The whole reunion was awesome to watch, but the part at the end where they said goodbye and Andy told Ron that he loved him really got me emotional. This is a show I've watched since I was around 5 or 6 when I would visit my grandparents on the weekends, and I still re-run it every year. I'm only 28, but it just goes to show how incredible a show this is that even people who were born long after it was being made can still love it and cherish it as if they lived it the same way Andy, Don, Ron, and all the other actors did.
Why can’t life be like this in 2020 as it was in 1960 ? Even though this was a television show it still reflected a better time , when people had morals and values . Time traveler take me back !!! this show was magnificent and shall always remain as a reminder as how life SHOULD BE ! Look around at our world today ..... what would you give to go back to this time and place? It’s only fictional, don’t we wish life today was too?
it offered a specific version of that time that all of us would have liked to be a part of.
I could not say it better. Well written. I say the same every every day of my life. Now, we live in a dangerous, unsafe world, where more people worry more about themselves. In some way we have became uncivilized.
WTF is WRONG with you?
At that time, the show thought values and scruples.
Opie was by far, THE cutest, must talented little kid!❤❤❤
I loved ALL of Opies episodes.
One of my favorite episodes was when, Opie played a sore track loser.😊
One of my Barney favorites was when he tried to say the Preamble. 😂
I absolutely loved, when Andy sang and played the guitar.😊
Yep and he's still super cute in this movie
Wow.. That last moment they were saying goodbye broke me.
My heart aches for such simple times as they had in Mayberry..
There will never be another program that will even come close..
Im 32 and everyday i watch this my favorite show
What are some other shows you like? I can't find anything else quite like it.
@@88mphsss That's because there is nothing quite like it, sadly.
@@MrMenefrego1 My Three Sons has a similar mood but it's only because it's from the same time period.
@@88mphsss Agreed, but why did they have to kill-off the mothers in those two series? I loved 'Aunt Bee', but I think a real mother would have sufficed.
@@MrMenefrego1 I like the widower aspect. 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. If it were today they'd make a big deal out of in-law friction, or deserving compensation for their housework.
I watched this as a kid. I'm 55, my husband is 61. We watch it now on Pluto TV. It's the best!! It always had a lesson to learn, a moral to every episode. And it was good clean fun 😃❤️!!
The show had memorable characters, but the storylines were excellent. Can't forget those favorite episodes. I can't pick just one.
Me and my 10 year old daughter watch Andy all the time together. We love it...
I’m 19 years old but my parents raised me on Andy Griffith and all the old classics. They are simply the best and this episode was so heartwarming. It’s timeless and I’m grateful to be able to know what it’s all about
My dad used to love watching this show when I was a kid but at the time I didn't care for it and just wanted to watch cartoons. Now that my dad's gone, I come back to watch this sometimes. Makes me feel like I'm watching it with him again. I've definitely learned to appreciate it
Yes I feel the same way too I lost my dad at 11 and he used to watch this all time . Also my grandma would watch it alot when I came over but now both are gone it's really hard hut I feel when I watch this I'm back in time sorta in some kind of way
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Yeah exactly. I'm sorry you lost yours so young
My grandmother used to have Andy Griffith on every night. What I would give to go back in time to be able to sit and watch it with her one more time!
