Why I love the Andy Griffith Show
There was just something that drew you in. Made you want to be a part of that Mayberry family.
Friendship that holds strong through thick and thin.
In a world of reality television (bleh), the Andy Griffith show offers a break from the bogged down world we live in today.
If you see a car driving down the road in front of you with Andy Griffith playing in the portable DVD player overhead, that could just be us!
Hope this lens brings a smile to your face!
Opie meets Aunt Bee
One of my all time favorites
Good Ole' Barney Fife
I have to be honest, Barney is my favorite....
WHO IS BARNEY FIFE?
Bernard (P., Milton, or Oliver - he is heard to have 3 different middle names in the show) Fife.
Best friend to Andy Taylor, Deputy Sheriff of Mayberry, Thelma Lou's main squeeze. Oh, did you also know that Barney is Andy's cousin and Godfather to Opie. Just think of how this knowledge could impress your friends ;)
Andy Griffith's character was intended initially to be the comedy man on the show. However, after Barney was introduced, he was so loved and caught on so well with viewers, that Andy decided for the good of the show to let Barney (Don Knotts) carry the comedy while he (Andy) took the role of the straight man.
Some odd, random Barney facts:
*Barney's mom appears for a brief few seconds in the episode 'The Manhunt' in season 1

Barney was a ladies man...
Everyone needs an Aunt Bee
Francis Bavier (aka: Aunt Bee).She cooks, she cleans, she is there for comfort in hard times, and somehow, she never seemed to complain and actually enjoyed it!
Let's admit, we could all use our very own Aunt Bee!
Often found in a good gossip session with her friend and neighbor Clara Edwards, Aunt Bee knew all of the goings-ons of Mayberry USA.
"I need to get out of the house more often." --Aunt Bee
