Down-home humor and an endearing cast of characters helped to make "The Andy Griffith Show" one of the most beloved comedies in the history of television. Wido...wer Andy Taylor divides his time between raising his young son, Opie, and his job as sheriff (and Justice of the Peace) of the sleepy North Carolina town, Mayberry. Andy and Opie live with Andy's Aunt Bee, who serves as a surrogate mother to both father and son. Andy's nervous cousin, Barney Fife, is his deputy sheriff whose utter incompetence is tolerated because Mayberry is virtually crime-free. So wet your whistle, grab your fishing pole and take a trip back to Mayberry! Includes the first 8 heartwarming episodes of this classic comedy!
