Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Expect to see more content similar to this for a while . I’ll mix in a couple other subjects too here and there but have a lot of filming locations in mind till end of year or after . Some will be well known and some very obscure , just going with that I enjoy . Took last couple weeks off to rethink the future of this channel and realized I need to focus on quirky passion projects . So, for now ...I will
This video was great, I love the filming locations!! 99% of us aren’t in Hollywood and would like to see these locations so the only way is videos like yours, you also did a great job lining up the landmarks and showing correct perspective. So excited for more! I have read about the old DeliLu studios before and that little area where town was placed for the show. Here is a link to some cool info I found some time back: www.retroweb.com/40acres_final_years.html
I read the title and got excited. Watched Andy Griffith show growing up with my parents, dad loves it. The research and effort put forth to put this together doesn't go unappreciated, thank you for your hard work Adam!
Chad Baxter I'm thinking that Adam needs to do a road trip and meet her in person. Can you imagine the behind the scenes stories that she could tell. Some one needs to interview her for them.
I have watched this show repeatedly for such a big part of my life, and yet it was filmed so long ago, meeting a living cast member would be almost surreal. It's hard to explain, but hopefully other fans of the show understand somewhat...
This reminded me of the time I went to my friend's house and there was someone sitting on his couch that looked like Ron Howard. I got a little closer to him and realized it was Ron Howard! He was there because his Dad knew him because he wrote some of the episodes for Happy Days. Oh and he also wrote some of the original episodes for Laverne & Shirley
Watching the old Andy Griffith Show reruns has gotten me through "The 'Rona" lockdown (and semi-lockdown). The enduring warmth and whimsical humor are a reminder of an era when there was at least a tip o' the hat to human decency. Great way to wind down in the evening. Thanks for this really interesting background info -- and welcome back!
@kes....I listened to some Andy Griffith interviews, where he was quite candid about the show. In one, he observed the culture Mayberry portrayed, never existed anywhere in the USA. In effect, it was a fantasy. That was--is--the power of illusion. Indeed, there are fans that to this day, that will curse you if you say otherwise. Anyway, as a boy I loved this show.
I couldn't agree more. We all were kinda decent to each other once upon a time...or so it seemed. I know people had moral compasses back then or keep their weirdness quiet.😊
The Andy Griffith Show is my favorite show ever, I’m 62 years old and grew up watching this great show, I still watch it today, great video Adam my favorite
Me too. My parents homeschooled me and every day Andy Griffith reruns were on TV at 12 so we’d watch it while we ate lunch. I’m 41 now and I still watch an episode almost every day while I eat lunch. One of life’s simple pleasures.
Ahhh your glorious energy shared is like beautiful Sun rays glowing down on all of us flowers🌷 So wonderful to have your presence with us again. Very happy day to you sir & many blessings💕
@@Kimzapoppin I live in Lexington, and work for a company based in Mount Airy! Nice small town and awesome pork chop sandwich at Snappy's! The Loaded Goat is a great place too!
Don't know how I missed this one before the Three's Company video but, The Andy Griffith Show, another one of my all-time favorites. A little bit sad to see how things have changed so much. Nonetheless a great, great video.👍👍👍👍👍
Adam, thank you so much for all you did on the making of this video. You really did an awesome job pointing out where the buildings used to be. I’m 58, and this show is my all time favorite. I really like how you took us to Meyer’s Lake, what a treat. June of 2019, I took the family down to Mount Airy, N.C., and I had the privilege of meeting Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), had my photo taken with her, and she even kissed me on the cheek. Eat your heart out Barney! Anyway, I really appreciate all you do to take us back in time. That’s why you’re my favorite TH-cam channel. You’re the BEST! -Stephen, Ohio 🇺🇸
Love it! I grew up about a quarter mile from the "back forty". I used to walk past on my way to jr. high, and you could see the tower from Hogan's Heroes behind that berm, too. La Ballona creek was the other side, and we could see Mayberry and Gomer's sets from it.
I'm glad you're back. We're all looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us. BTW, I've watched other YT channels do "filming locations for the Andy Griffith Show," and none of them measured up to this video. A lot of work and research went into this one. Well done!
@Toxic Trolla of RocknRolla dude It's common knowledge of 40 Acres...it wasn't a big secret There are hundreds of videos and web sites And if it's already public knowledge...
@Toxic Trolla of RocknRolla valid point.....but the heroes are working in their own way....I work 6-am-6pm....don't have the time, but often the inclination.....want to be fair to a vlogger who researches for others and shares content
I absolutely love this video. One of my favorites. I live close to the real Mayberry “Mount Airy” North Carolina. My husband and I actually got married at the “Mayberry” courthouse here. Andy plays a HUGE part of our lives. Thelma Lou just celebrated her 94th birthday. Also, last year they threw her a huge birthday party at the Loaded Goat. (A bar themed after the episode) thank you for this episode!!
Hey Adam, thank you for doing this video. My grandpa was a huge fan of the show. I'd get off of work and go visit him and I'd stay a few hours and usually would leave after The Andy Griffith Show was over. He passed back on April 10th. I hadn't seen him in about two months because of all the Rona stuff. I work with a Dr and didn't wanna risk taking it to him. Some of my best memories will be of him laughing while we sat and watched the show. No matter how many times he had seen an episode he would always laugh just as hard as the first time. Thank you for this vlog and all the time and dedication that went into making this video. He would have loved to watch this. Stay safe man.
Adam, this is awesome. When you were walking thru the scrub i was flooded with memories of Gilligan’s Island as well. The plant life. Separate memory but a memory of my youth. Thank you fo the video! And you look great from last I saw you. Age is treating you well.
I watch the Andy Griffith Show every single day.. And Being from Cali watching this I had no idea of where, and how this was filmed.. But the funny thing is I can remember back in the 70's when I was a kid my grandfather saying: look at that beautiful country.. They don't know what country is around here boy.. Him talking about "down south".. Only if he was here today LOLOLOLOL.. Thank you for a very enjoyable video..
Adam this blew my mind and I am grateful to you for this video. I have a story for you. The Andy Griffith show for myself and for many is a refuge from life's challenges. Immersing yourself in Mayberry is food for the soul as you know. Here is the story. I work at Indiana University as an IT computer programmer and I specialized in VR technology. In 2015 IU alumni, Mark Cuban, donated to IU to help our athletics department with new technologies for sports media technology. Part of this donation was to send a delegation of IU leaders and engineers to meet with technology companies that Mr. Cuban works with. I was lucky enough to be part of this delegation. As you can imagine we didn't have much time for sight seeing, but our schedule brought us to RED studios Hollywood. There was a brief mention that this space had be Desilu Productions, but I had no idea of the other depths of American art and history that once walked/worked in these silent halls. When I look back it feels like I unknowingly walked through Mayberry and a bygone era of Hollywood and it gives me a chill. Truly amazing.
THIS WAS EXCELLENT ...a tribute to us TRUE fans!!!!!! AND YOU for the dedication..i THANK YOU!!..ADAM ..thank you ..this took a lot of research!!!!! you did it!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Mr. Woo. The lake scenery with the road also reminded me of another favorite TV show shot in that area. Combat! starring Vic Morrow in 1962 when I was all of 7 years old!
A fun fact, the same backlot from this show was used in the Star Trek episode City on the Edge of Forever. Our heroes walk right by Floyd's Barbershop in a scene. I love the work you put into finding these places, seeing how much they've changed!
@@TheDailyWoo I met Don Knotts after he gave an interview on a Kansas City radio station. I feel good that I made him smile. I had him sign a cheapy VCR tape box of "The Best of Barney Fife." I flattened it and had him sign one of the tuck in flaps. I gave it to him and he placed it under some papers he had to sign without really seeing it. When he pulled the last paper off of the box, he saw this cartoonish drawing of him as Barney on the front. He saw it, smiled real big, kinda pausing for a moment and then asked me where I would like it signed. I'll never forget seeing his reaction when he saw that box.
I was just doing a little research on Red Studios Hollywood after watching this video and I was surprised to find out the entrance was actually used in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" as Maroon Cartoons. Pretty cool.
Yes, it was... I used to frequent a jazz club way back when... on not far away on N. Cahuenga Blvd, actually 2 J Clubs over the yrs on N. Cahuenga Blvd not far from Desilu Cahuenga Studios/Red Studios Hollywood
Thank you for this. Will watch this with my dad, he grew up with The Andy Griffith Show, and introduced it to us kids and now my favorite show! Clean, wholesome family show. Barney was the BEST! 😊
I agree. I used to watch this show growing up (50 yrs ago I was 12) with my parents. My parents didn't always let me watch TV but this show they allowed me to watch because it was clean and pure.
I think my favorite episode was The Haunted House. It’s truly amazing how this show appealed to such a wide range of people. We still watch the reruns fairly regularly. Really enjoyed this one it was definitely a trip down memory lane. Thanks!
Aw, thank you! My mom loved the Andy Griffith Show. We all watched it after dinner back in the 1960s when I was a kid. When she had dementia and I was taking care of her it was one of the last TV shows besides baseball that she could still pay attention to. She just passed away in late July.
I’ve been obsessed with the 40 Acres backlot and the Andy Griffith Show for over 20 years. I’ve watched every video and read every website about it. This was great! Thank you. I’d like to walk those hallowed grounds some day. I’m interested in where things happened. Especially where movies and TV shows were filmed. I’m always researching it. You should do a video on where “It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed. It was at RKO Radio Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, and the 89-acre RKO movie ranch in Encino, where "Bedford Falls" was built. It’s a quiet neighborhood now. I’m sure the residents there don’t realize they’re living in Bedford Falls. It’s fascinating to line up the aerial photos of the back lot in the 1940’s with Google Earth views today and see where George Bailey’s house was, where the Main Street and all the shops were. That would make a great video. Love all you do. Really fun to watch your stuff. You are very committed to this. How do you find the time?? Keep up the great work!
Yeeees! My father's favorite show ever!!!! I have seen every episode hundreds of times. Thank you for this Adam. Lost my Dad a short time ago, and this made my day. Lot of memories with him and talking about this show. Thanks Adam.
Adam. That was awesome!! Still watch that show everyday. Pretty cool how you do the matchups. Keep them coming. As a Miami firefighter, you taking me back to a more peaceful time, helps me take a deep breath.
Thanks so much, Adam, for the Andy Griffith tour. I am actually a little surprised and very relieved to know that I am not the only person who just can't get enough of Mayberry and its filming locations. In fact, I had actually done some of the research you presented, and had also found some of the locations. I had planned to visit the Mayberry locations someday, but seeing them on your video is truly fantastic and very helpful. I can't help but feel a bit saddened by how much everything has changed, but it's just nice knowing that these memorable locations are real, and that you can still stand in front of the Mayberry courthouse. Thanks again. It was really enjoyable. Bill
Hello Adam, Absolutely one of my all time favorite TV shows still watch it to this day it never gets old always a lesson to be learned no cussing really no fighting No nudity, life was so much better back then I think you did an excellent job pointing out to us all of the stuff at some points I actually felt sad I really enjoyed it Adam thank you so much ! Take care be careful out there
Thrilled to see your back! Been a bit down because of an anniversary of my sons death this month and not being able to go to the ocean or go anywhere to bring up my spirits. Your videos make me feel I'm right there with you. Thank you for bringing us to interesting places!
Me too ,only mine was a daughter , murdered 3 years ago , 💔 and like you , can't go anywhere to even try to lift spirit . Hang in there , you are not alone , some of us , really do understand 😢
Great video! I’m a huge Andy Griffith Show fan and love seeing these old locations even if they don’t look the same anymore. I know there exists some home movies that were shot on the set of the show. I believe, and don’t quote me on this, they were filmed by Rance Howard and it shows the cast hanging out and playing around on set. You can see a lot of the background scenery and buildings that production would normally try to obscure during actual filming.
Fav show of all time Andy Griffith Show. Thanx for the tour of Mayberry Set. Wish I coulda been there when the Backlot was still there. Very Cool Indeed.
Sometimes I dont understand how you figure things out. When a whole town area is gone and now just a big warehouse or something else. Its amazing how you are able to line things up and help us imagine the former TV or movie life of an area. Just a few telephone poles, dirt hill, trees or dip in the road and you reconstruct it all for us. Great investigative skills. Thank you.
These are the ones I really like because Andy Griffith happens to be one of the shows my mom watches all the time along with I Love Lucy and Mama's family. I always show her these because it's something that they had no way of knowing or finding out back in the day unless you were from Hollyweird. You put all of it in a nice clean fully explained, researched and documented package and she always gets a kick out it. Much appreciated.
That group of buildings next to Mayberry and at the end of the dirt road that was used for out of town shots is the outdoor set for Hogan's Heroes. So the folks of Mayberry were living next to a German POW camp.
I so love this...I have watched my whole life, our kids watched, now, our grandkids. We will watch as long as we are here👍 Thank you so much for doing this 😊
Hey Adam! I really wanted to appreciate you and say thank you for your videos. I’ve been battling depression for a while now but your videos are always there for me even when nobody else isn’t. God bless 🙏
Loved this vlog! When my husband heard it he said, "Oh! Will you play this for me later?". I am sure he will want to see many of your past vlogs! So glad to see you back. It has not been the same without you. Thank you Adam!
I enjoy your videos but I especialy love the videos like this one. I was born in 1962 and grew up watching these shows and it is so cool to watch you pointing out where these shows were taped. Thank you. Stay safe and have a pawsome week from Jan and Daisey in Texas.
I used to watch Andy Of Mayberry when I was 12 years old, back in 1964, on up till the Andy Of Mayberry Show stopped running. I loved the intro song, with the whistling, and all....always thought the world of Andy Griffith and Little "Opie"..Ron Howard. I would love to be able to go visit Mount Airy, North Carolina.."Andy Of Mayberry" Style. This was one of the Best Shows I have ever watched. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
THANKS ADAM! I never realized how much I treasured your vlogs until you were not there. You are always cutting edge informative and interesting with your content. Dare I say the "Number 1 Vlogger on TH-cam"? You're the Best!
Big fan of the Mayb, the Andd, the Bee and the Barn! Even the Goob, the Gome and the Floyd. Let us not forsake the Oope. Thank you for the diligent archaeology and history. And thanks for sharing.
You're my twin. I've driven through those streets so many times. I've had this eery nostalgic feeling of "Where is the rest of the studio?" Not realizing exactly what I was missing and there it is.
I don't remember it much as a kid but I have watched it regular as an adult also gomer pyle usmc alot of the actors go back and forth between the two. My favorite or one of my fav actors allen melvin ssgt hacker and played several characters on andy.
Nice to see you back, firing on all cylinders Adam!. Love your passion for filming locations!. Sadly growing up in the UK, I’m not too familiar with the Andy Griffith Show but I do know that Red Studios was the exterior location for Maroon Cartoon Studios in Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. One of my favourites!
My dad loves this show, I love this show, my kids love this show... timeless! BTW we North Carolinians are claiming The Andy Griffith Show no matter where it was filmed 😃. Great work Adam, enjoyed it!
Thanks for showing these locations. Never knew where that show was filmed. One of the great shows of the past. I knew that Andy Griffith (the man) spent his final years in a place that I love to visit when I go back home, Manteo, North Carolina.

Where did you get that shirt you were wearing? I must have one!
Thank you Adam for giving us some more good ness which is AdamTheWoo 🙏🏽👋🏽🤣🤣🤣
That's one show I think everyone should watch at one point in their lives....
I agree! It could honestly change their lives forever!
Definitely !
I agree! Great morals!
I read the title and got excited. Watched Andy Griffith show growing up with my parents, dad loves it. The research and effort put forth to put this together doesn't go unappreciated, thank you for your hard work Adam!
Thanks for the kind words
You can meet Thelma Lou (Betty Lynn). She is is a retirement village in Mount Airy NC. She visits the Andy Griffith museum every 4th Friday.
Chad Baxter I'm thinking that Adam needs to do a road trip and meet her in person. Can you imagine the behind the scenes stories that she could tell. Some one needs to interview her for them.
Thats amazing !
I believe that "Thelma Lou" and Ron Howard are the only regular cast member still alive.
Wait really? I was there on a Friday great info to hear! I go up there often!
I have watched this show repeatedly for such a big part of my life, and yet it was filmed so long ago, meeting a living cast member would be almost surreal. It's hard to explain, but hopefully other fans of the show understand somewhat...

Looking good. Lean, mean fighting machine.
Just started watching Andy Griffith again from episode one. A much simpler time.
It’s the best . Always puts me in a good mood
I live less than an hour from "Mayberry". Well, Mt. Airy, which it is based on, anyway. Can get a porkchop sandwhich at the Snappy Lunch in Mt. Airy!

I have memories of my grandparents as well watching the show . Thanks for the comment
I feel old.
I like when Barney Fife finally left Mayberry, changed his name and moved to San Diego to manage some apartments.
Indeed. Threes company is my all time favorite show
It was filmed in Santa Monica not SD.
Actually his brother Bart owned the apartments-
You can see Barney's mannerisms in Mr. Furley (i.e., the snort/sniff).
Adam, this is awesome. When you were walking thru the scrub i was flooded with memories of Gilligan’s Island as well. The plant life. Separate memory but a memory of my youth. Thank you fo the video! And you look great from last I saw you. Age is treating you well.
Love these filming location videos!!
Thank you ! Hope all is well
Yes!!! I grew up watching Andy. Still watch it very often to this day.
Welcome back Adam! Hope you had a great break. You were missed. Have a good one. My grandson is obsessed with Andy Griffin.
You sir are a legend. Thank you for this! Can’t wait for more. Great work!

Me too . Would have loved to have met him , between Andy Griffith Show and Threes Company it’s tough to say which was my favorite tv roll he did

@Chang Noi Unfortunately I wasn’t. No way I’m going into old man Rimshaw’s place alone.
I like stuff like this too. Seeing the exact spot of where something occurred and being able to find landmarks around to verify it! Very cool!
Aw, thank you! My mom loved the Andy Griffith Show. We all watched it after dinner back in the 1960s when I was a kid. When she had dementia and I was taking care of her it was one of the last TV shows besides baseball that she could still pay attention to. She just passed away in late July.
Hope you enjoyed your vacation? Great to have you back.. Good video thank you buddy...
Excellent job on this! You do really great on these comparisons and linning up the shots.
Thanks so much . It’s tough considering I don’t like using clips from the show but seem to have found a good work around
@@TheDailyWoo I see that! Helps you not get dinged.
I’ve been obsessed with the 40 Acres backlot and the Andy Griffith Show for over 20 years. I’ve watched every video and read every website about it. This was great! Thank you. I’d like to walk those hallowed grounds some day. I’m interested in where things happened. Especially where movies and TV shows were filmed. I’m always researching it. You should do a video on where “It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed. It was at RKO Radio Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, and the 89-acre RKO movie ranch in Encino, where "Bedford Falls" was built. It’s a quiet neighborhood now. I’m sure the residents there don’t realize they’re living in Bedford Falls. It’s fascinating to line up the aerial photos of the back lot in the 1940’s with Google Earth views today and see where George Bailey’s house was, where the Main Street and all the shops were. That would make a great video. Love all you do. Really fun to watch your stuff. You are very committed to this. How do you find the time?? Keep up the great work!
Thank you for doing this. I can see you have a true passion for finding movie/tv history.
Yeah The Woos back!!!!
Yeeees! My father's favorite show ever!!!! I have seen every episode hundreds of times. Thank you for this Adam. Lost my Dad a short time ago, and this made my day. Lot of memories with him and talking about this show. Thanks Adam.
Glad you enjoyed it buddy
This was great Adam, well done. I think you nailed it with the manhole cover.
Thank you
Adam. That was awesome!! Still watch that show everyday. Pretty cool how you do the matchups. Keep them coming. As a Miami firefighter, you taking me back to a more peaceful time, helps me take a deep breath.
Nice to see a new video. Welcome back. Woooooooooooooo !!
Welcome back we miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!
You did so much work and research for this. Great job. Love your stuff.
Amazing details you’ve gave us Adam,my mother loved this show. I appreciate all that you do man.
fantastic work
happy to see you back
Thanks so much, Adam, for the Andy Griffith tour. I am actually a little surprised and very relieved to know that I am not the only person who just can't get enough of Mayberry and its filming locations. In fact, I had actually done some of the research you presented, and had also found some of the locations. I had planned to visit the Mayberry locations someday, but seeing them on your video is truly fantastic and very helpful. I can't help but feel a bit saddened by how much everything has changed, but it's just nice knowing that these memorable locations are real, and that you can still stand in front of the Mayberry courthouse. Thanks again. It was really enjoyable. Bill
Glad you enjoyed it and hope you make it out someday to stand there as well .
Hello Adam, Absolutely one of my all time favorite TV shows still watch it to this day it never gets old always a lesson to be learned no cussing really no fighting No nudity, life was so much better back then I think you did an excellent job pointing out to us all of the stuff at some points I actually felt sad I really enjoyed it Adam thank you so much ! Take care be careful out there
It was a different time
Welcome Back Adam! Hope ya had a good time off.
Thrilled to see your back! Been a bit down because of an anniversary of my sons death this month and not being able to go to the ocean or go anywhere to bring up my spirits. Your videos make me feel I'm right there with you. Thank you for bringing us to interesting places!
Me too ,only mine was a daughter , murdered 3 years ago , 💔 and like you , can't go anywhere to even try to lift spirit . Hang in there , you are not alone , some of us , really do understand 😢

Great video! I’m a huge Andy Griffith Show fan and love seeing these old locations even if they don’t look the same anymore. I know there exists some home movies that were shot on the set of the show. I believe, and don’t quote me on this, they were filmed by Rance Howard and it shows the cast hanging out and playing around on set. You can see a lot of the background scenery and buildings that production would normally try to obscure during actual filming.
I have the Andy Griffith show season 1 through 5 on dvd and I still watch them to this day.
Yes the longest two weeks ever. Welcome back Adam it will be a pleasure to join you on your travels again.
Loved it 👍
They also did the original Star Trek at the Desi Lu studios and in one episode they used the actual Mayberry town set
Fav show of all time Andy Griffith Show. Thanx for the tour of Mayberry Set. Wish I coulda been there when the Backlot was still there. Very Cool Indeed.
Nice to see you . I did not know what to do with my day. Lol
It blows my mind that Adam doesn’t have 1 Million subs - he’s certainly earned it!
Agree!
I know right!
He’ll get there one day and it won’t take another 10 years.
Its been such a slow climb for him.and its finally starting to pay off.after 10 plus years.
Agree
Sometimes I dont understand how you figure things out. When a whole town area is gone and now just a big warehouse or something else. Its amazing how you are able to line things up and help us imagine the former TV or movie life of an area. Just a few telephone poles, dirt hill, trees or dip in the road and you reconstruct it all for us. Great investigative skills. Thank you.
These are the ones I really like because Andy Griffith happens to be one of the shows my mom watches all the time along with I Love Lucy and Mama's family. I always show her these because it's something that they had no way of knowing or finding out back in the day unless you were from Hollyweird. You put all of it in a nice clean fully explained, researched and documented package and she always gets a kick out it. Much appreciated.
You’re back!!!! This makes my whole Monday better! I love the filming locations videos.... Glad you’re back!
That group of buildings next to Mayberry and at the end of the dirt road that was used for out of town shots is the outdoor set for Hogan's Heroes. So the folks of Mayberry were living next to a German POW camp.
I so love this...I have watched my whole life, our kids watched, now, our grandkids. We will watch as long as we are here👍 Thank you so much for doing this 😊
Hey Adam! I really wanted to appreciate you and say thank you for your videos. I’ve been battling depression for a while now but your videos are always there for me even when nobody else isn’t. God bless 🙏
Great to have you back!
Loved this vlog! When my husband heard it he said, "Oh! Will you play this for me later?". I am sure he will want to see many of your past vlogs! So glad to see you back. It has not been the same without you. Thank you Adam!
I enjoy your videos but I especialy love the videos like this one. I was born in 1962 and grew up watching these shows and it is so cool to watch you pointing out where these shows were taped. Thank you. Stay safe and have a pawsome week from Jan and Daisey in Texas.
Thanks so much
I used to watch Andy Of Mayberry when I was 12 years old, back in 1964, on up till the Andy Of Mayberry Show stopped running. I loved the intro song, with the whistling, and all....always thought the world of Andy Griffith and Little "Opie"..Ron Howard. I would love to be able to go visit Mount Airy, North Carolina.."Andy Of Mayberry" Style. This was one of the Best Shows I have ever watched. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This show was the best! I love watching it with my family!! I missed you Adam!! So happy that you are back!!
THANKS ADAM! I never realized how much I treasured your vlogs until you were not there. You are always cutting edge informative and interesting with your content. Dare I say the "Number 1 Vlogger on TH-cam"? You're the Best!
Very nice of you to say . Thank you
Big fan of the Mayb, the Andd, the Bee and the Barn! Even the Goob, the Gome and the Floyd. Let us not forsake the Oope. Thank you for the diligent archaeology and history. And thanks for sharing.
You're my twin. I've driven through those streets so many times. I've had this eery nostalgic feeling of "Where is the rest of the studio?" Not realizing exactly what I was missing and there it is.
One of my favorites you’ve ever done. Fantastic job! As a huge fan of TAGS some of this blew my mind. Thanks friend!
Some say Mr McBeeVee is still around in those trees
Good to see you back Adam.
I watched the show when it originally aired. Have watched each episode at least 5 times.
I don't remember it much as a kid but I have watched it regular as an adult also gomer pyle usmc alot of the actors go back and forth between the two. My favorite or one of my fav actors allen melvin ssgt hacker and played several characters on andy.
Nice to see you back, firing on all cylinders Adam!. Love your passion for filming locations!. Sadly growing up in the UK, I’m not too familiar with the Andy Griffith Show but I do know that Red Studios was the exterior location for Maroon Cartoon Studios in Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. One of my favourites!
Yep
Woooooo!!! Welcome back!! You were sorely missed!
Welcome back Adam! Been watching your travels from four years ago the last two weeks.
My dad loves this show, I love this show, my kids love this show... timeless! BTW we North Carolinians are claiming The Andy Griffith Show no matter where it was filmed 😃. Great work Adam, enjoyed it!
I still watch the re-runs of The Andy Griffith Show, one of my favorites. Funny how things and people change after 50 years. 50 years ago I was 12.
Love ya, Adam. The Andy Griffith Show is one of my dad's favorites, I grew up watching it in reruns with him. This is fantastic stuff, thank you.
One of the best . Thanks for watching
Thank you Adam. Inspector Columbo would be proud. Stay safe
Thank you
I’m gonna have to send this one to my father. I grew up watching it with him. Great childhood memories. Thank you for all you do!
No problem . Thanks for the comment
My Brother, it has been at least a year since seeing you. It was great to join you for a moment once again!
Know you are loved!
Good to see you back. I hope the time off did you well!
Good to see you Adam, love you, I'm in NC, 30mins from Mount Airy, NC
Thanks for showing these locations. Never knew where that show was filmed. One of the great shows of the past. I knew that Andy Griffith (the man) spent his final years in a place that I love to visit when I go back home, Manteo, North Carolina.
North Carolina is great . Love it there
I am a big fan of this show and try and watch it every day. It makes me want to whistle. Thank you for documenting this, Adam.
