The Andy Griffith Show is one of the classic television series. It deals with the live of a small town Sheriff, Andy Taylor, played by Andy Griffith. Sheriff Andy’s a likeable, laid-back fellow, who’s typically correct with his homespun wisdom – but not infallible. He’s a widower, raising his son Opie (Ron Howard). With the help of his Aunt Bea (Frances Bavier).
The cast is rounded out by his overly serious, bumbling, loyal, and likeable deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts). And with a large cast of recurring characters. These include Gomer (Jim Nabors), Goober, Ellie, Helen Krump, and many more. Life in Mayberry is normally quiet, and the episodes reflect that. With minor issues being dealt with enjoyably.
