I watch Andy Griffith show every single night before I go to bed. It help me unwind from the day and takes me to a simpler time.

I’m 15 and I literally grew up with this show man it’s definitely my favorite

The Andy Griffith show taught lifes best lessons. Now Hollywood is the gutter with filth and trash.

Thank you for posting this video. I've enjoyed this show for many, many years and still watch it in reruns. I'll never get tired of it.

best show ever !!! good clean and funnier than ANYTHING raunchy Hollywood Has today!

I've been watching The Andy Griffith Show on Netflix lately and i get lost in it. I was born in '93 and my dad tried so hard to instill those wholesome values but they were diluted by the more modern times i was being raised in. When i watch that show i see why he tried so hard. It makes me almost teary when i finally turn it off for the day because i get so fascinated and lost in the simplicity and kindness of that era. I wish people still thought like that and treated each other like they do on the show. I try to do that. I'm in customer service and i try to make everyone in my small town leave my store smiling. I guess I'm also making a longer story than needed to just say thanks for the upload. I appreciate seeing this.

Andy said once in an interview that the crew could hardly finish a scene when Floyd the Barber was a part of it they could not stop laughing

Thanks for the walk down memory lane 🤗

Being From North Carolina , THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW Was REQUIRED TV!! I LOVE The Show & Have The DVD Box Set!! Andy Is Also A FELLOW ALUM of THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL !! GO TAR HEELS!!

If the town of Mayberry was real just like the show with the same people I would move there tomorrow

Thanks for sharing, I love that show and have them all on dvd. But I've never been there and probably never would have gotten to see it if not for you.

Do you know why everyone in Mayberry in Andy's world was always so happy? They were all single. The only person married was Otis. LOL

I am only 14 and I love this show. it reminds me of simpler times when everything was more simple and people were more loving towards one another and the shows on TV were family friendly. Andy Griffith is truly a gift given to the world not only for his acting and entertainment but for the spark of love laughter and family he left with us today. Andy will always be remembered for that❤

I know every episode by heart but I still watch them and still laugh...when Andy died I cried my heart out ...still can't think on it over much I get all teary eyed

I am pretty young and do not recall any old shows but I love the classic tv shows like Andy and Donna Reed Show. I wish life was like that today.

Passed by on our way home from Disney in 2000, passed his house , which at the time was a bed and breakfast, also drove up Pilot Mountain and stayed at the motel there. I think it was called the Mayberry Motel, loved every minute of it . It's the closest thing to going back in time, and you don't have to give up all the great things you have now to do it.

I love "Angel in my pocket" a favorite movie of my childhood. Andy was really a natural at acting.

Rick thanks so much for posting this. My favorite show as a kid and until this day I’ve seen every episode 150-200 times and still watch everytime I have the chance. I did not know this museum existed and I live in East Tennessee so I will be going there. Seasons 1-5 with Barney made it. Can’t watch the seasons after he left, just wasn’t the same. Thank you again for this opportunity !!!

Thankyou for taking the time to make this. I still enjoy The Andy Griffith Show and delighted in seeing what the museum looks like.

What a good show. Depicting the old days, when a kid could come home and watch a really wholesome show on tv. Those were the good old days indeed...

It's a blessing to be loved and thought of and this is a show of love at its best, i didn't even know there was a Andy Griffith Museum until this very day, thank you for this post i enjoyed it very much.

I remember back in the mid seventies watching re - runs with my Dad and rolling on the floor laughing at all of Barney's antics, and his funny facial expressions he would make when he got busted by Andy. Those were the days. Life was good and wholesome when you were in Mayberry!

A simpler time, a sweeter place. Here is nowhere I would rather be. Lovely video thank you so much for sharing your experience. If you had told me that I would grow to be 58 years old and an enormous fan of The Andy Griffith Show and all it stands for I never would have imagined. I'm lucky enough to have two episodes air on TV every evening have probably seen the mall dozens of times but they relieve the stress of the day.

Hi Rick! Thank you for posting this video. I love Andy. I am still watch it now.😃

My favorites were with Ernest t. Bass and the Darlins . I still watch the Andy Griffith show and Gomer Pyle USMC.

The wife and I took a weekend and visited Mount Airy . It is easy to see where Andy got his inspiration . Some folks that were renting out his childhood home (you can stay in it) were nice enough to let us go through the house . A really simple place .You would NOT believe how small Andy's room was . Pilot Mountain and the Derby Restaurant were cool and it has an easy going feel to the area . We'll go again because we hope to see Betty Lynn .

Aw I loved Andy ... we used to watch all their shows. How fun to stop there and get to see all the props. Thanks for bringing along.

Thank you for sharing this video of the Andy Griffith Museum . That old side car, that Barney rode in, the uniform , mayors suit, desk with phone and all of it was just wonderful , I enjoyed it so much. I dont see Andys show much anymore, will have to look here on YTube. Anyway thanks again !

I would love to go and Visit the Museum. I have loved that Show ever since I was little and still watch it to this day.

Thank you for posting this! I have an ophthalmologist I had to see for quite a while, until I had to move back into Memphis. I couldn't resist calling him Opie! We all loved him! He took it in strde with his red hair and freckles!! He loved to fish and was a country boy at heart anyway! An excellent doctor! They call him that too at times. hahaha. I hated moving back to Memphis, but, I see the main doctor at the satellite office. So, it's all good. He laughed when I said I couldn't help calling his assoc. Opie. Yea, yea, I have heard that, too, he said. LOL. Ron Howard is so talented.

Wow!!!!!! Just saw this video!! The Andy Griffith Show is one of my ABSOLUTE faves. Lol, my friends harass me all the time about it. I'm 43 and of course all I've seen is the reruns. This is right up my alley. Thank uuuuuuu for this tour👍🏻

Thanks so much for posting this!! I grew up on the Andy Griffith Show - what a great video!

First time I saw this, but if you look close at Andy's high school photo, he bears a resemblance to Ron Howard during early Happy Days! Now that's kind of haunting!

I loved this!!! Thank you so much for posting it.

I love this show...I still watch it right before I leave to work! It's funny clean 😊👏❤

Nice work! Thanks for sharing this video with us!

I need to see this museum, I'm missing out. Even though I was born in 1967 I love seeing this show in reruns, great series.

Remember the show where Barney had to wear a different suit to a dance and he fumed and worried because the salt and pepper was the only one he could "dip" in when he danced.

I wish I could go here. My fav show of all time!!

Nice tour, thank you!

I live here in Mount Airy NC and it's unreal the number or tourist we get daily to this day over the show. I walk my 🐕 along main Street and every one is taking pictures and it's amazing to see. Cause to me it's normal town with not much going on. Lol but guess that's what's liked about it. I grew up watching this show with my dad and still to this day enjoy it with him.

Been to this little town couple of times on our way to Florida where we now live. Neat little town with very nice people. Took the tour in the squad car. You can actually stay in Andy's childhood home

Just the best thing to see this monumental scenes again

Thank you for the tour. Great job!

Great memories! Thanks for sharing.

That was awesome thanks for the tour hope to make it there real soon

that would be a fun place to visit. always loved that show still watch it a lot. " learn to love em" thanks for sharing it. I know I will never get there with all the critters we have and no one to take care of them for a day or two.

Great video..thanks for sharing it. I'm a big, HUGE fan of Andy Griffith. Still watch reruns, never tire of them. Our 3 brothers were too, they're deceased now, one of them even had the recording on his answering machine to say : " I can't come to the phone now,I'm either out in the yard or I'm watching Andy Griffith" Which meant he wouldn't talk while the show was on...lol Another brother, I checked the clock before calling him, if Andy Griffith, Judge Judy or Archie Bunker was on, I waited..lol

I love the Andy Griffith show

Fun vacation. Thanks for taking us along. Loved the museum!

Thanks for the video 👍🏻 I love watching The Andy Griffin Show. It brings me back to a simpler time.

We've been wanting to spend a weekend in Mount Aire. Drove through the town one time. Even up in the hills everyone is prospering. I love how this town has repurposed itself just like Helen Georgia. Thanks for sharing..

Great Job!!! Love this.... Visited there years ago but they have really upgraded since then.

Cliff Arquette, ( if anyone remembers him) alias Charlie Weaver was also from Mt. Airy. He would refer to it as Mt. Ida in his routine i.e. his letters from his Mama. His children and grandchildren are the Arquettes that are popular Hollywood items now ( or were)!

Thanks so much for posting this! One of my all time favorite shows!! I just got done doing a Netflix Binge watch of all 8 seasons. laugh and cry at almost every episode. Wonderful show....wonderful memories...thanks again for sharing this with us! God Bless! *also love the t shirt you were wearing!

Nice video made me miss North Carolina even more never been to that museum but travel through Mount Airy all the time thanks much

That was so cool, Rick! Luckily they let you film in there! Thanks for sharing!

I love watching the reruns of the Andy Griffith show was five years before I was born love the statue

We're going camping there in a few weeks at Mayberry Campground. We dont live far from there. Glad you visited ol NC ❤️😁

Loved Andy Griffith. Thanks for the visit to the museum.

Thanks for taking the time to make your video of the museum including the entrance! I know it’s hard to stop at every single item when you’re filming a documentary and amazing you were allowed to film inside. The pause button on my iPhone allowed me to stop and read the many emblems and signs you briefly stopped at so that was not a problem at all. It made your movie last a half hour longer as I paused to read and take it all in. When I want to lower my blood pressure and desperate for a good laugh I look at TAGS! I thought maybe I was getting Alzheimer’s because I would watch it over and over again but then I wouldn’t be able to give the punch lines. Then again, Barney had problems saying the Constitution (“We The People...”) or the “Officer’s Oath”. Anyway...”It’s gooood! I appreciate it, and goodnight!” William Payne

I watched , and loved, every episode during my childhood

Thanks for that great tour. I love the show .

I'm heading to Mt.Airy July, 13 on my birthday and I can't wait to get there, I am a huge Andy Griffith show fan, Priceless and classic!! My all-time favorite episode is "The Clubmen" Great video!

Thanks for sharing this. We've been wanting to go there for quite some time now. You have a nice channel! We subscribed. :)

TFS, Rick I loved Andy Griffith Show and I still watch it today. I don't care to much for the episodes in color.

Awwwww, I loved Andy Griffith! You never heard any scandals about him or Don Knotts. They were both funny without being vulgar. I got teary when you read the plaque in front of the statue. He was a great man. Regarding Cheng and Eng, in Philadelphia, at the Mutter Museum, there is a post-mortem plaster body cast of the twins on display, along with their original, double-seat wicker chair on display. Now THAT is a museum you would live. It's all human oddities! My husband and I toured it a few years ago. Really interesting place. Thanks for sharing! Take care and God bless! Hugggggs!

that suit of goobers was supposed to be the burial suit for Floyd the barber but his wife already had another suit picked out so goober kept the suit. a little trivia for u.

I'm glad you were allowed to use your camera. They had a very strict no photo or video policy when I visited in February 2013.

I'm so glad to see that my Uncle Ben has a museum dedicated to him lol!!

Thank you for sharing. Magical.

wow theyre forever immortalised...what an honour

Thank you for posting this video of your trip.

Thanks for the upload Rick .One of my Favorite Series of All Time! Just bought the "Complete Series" a few weeks ago.

LIFE WAS SO SIMPLE BACK THEN

Definitely enjoyed visiting back in 2006.

I will add my repeat...one of my favorite shows. I still watch them. Great shows, good scripts, funny casting.... no worries if children may be in the house. ahhh.... nostalgia. thanks for taking us along.

Thanks for video taping & sharing. I love watching Andy Griffith Show during the late 70s shown in Malaysia. Missed the crew and congratulations to Ron Howard for his success.

WOW!! GOOD STUFF!! With our country divided like nothing I ever seen before (im 54) along with great memories of days of staying home sick from school and getting excited to watch I Love Lucy at 8am (2 episodes) than Andy Griffith at 9am (2 episodes) and then i'd watch Bonanza for an hour. So now it's 11am i'm gonna have a bowl of soup/broth because i'm sick :) mind you, back to t.v, at 11am i would have to wait for the midday news to end. Than at 12 noon it was time for Twilight Zone (2 episodes) Yes at 54 I don't promote truancy, but hot damn; growing up in the 70s was still so different than today. And being that Andy was filmed in the 60s, I felt like I related to the same era of Andy and all of Mayberry RFD. Back to current time; Even though I don't watch much of anything on tv today, is because it has long lost that wholesome Golden Era because now it's no longer tv, it's called TEL/A/VISION...... I WISH ALL WELL, IF YOUR FAR RIGHT, IF YOUR FAR LEFT, IF YOUR LIBERTARIAN OR YOUR A CONSERVATIVE, GOD BLESS YOU ALL...

Great vid. Thanks for sharing these great memories. Any sign of "the Fun Girls" from Mt Pilot? Lots and lots of great characters who were funny without being vulgar or implied sexual innuendo. I miss those classic TV shows. Thanks for reruns.

Very Cool !! The good ole days😉

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting 🤔

Love it here. I live about 30 mins away.

Thank you for taking us there. Loved the Show.

Fun to watch! Thanks for sharing

Love this show, found it on TV Land and ME TV.. watch it daily..

Good video. I was just there a couple months back. Then I went down and to rode in one of the actual police cars used in the show and saw Andy's boyhood home. It was awesome! I recommend all Andy Fans to visit!

Great job sir thanks for the video !!

spent a nice saturday checking everything out. would definitely recommend the tour in the squad cars. nice people in the shops too

Very cool !!!!!

Thanks for your sharing.

That was cool thank you!

Young Andy Griffith looked a great deal like Opie or Ron Howard. I learned about Chang and Eng when I was 10. You would think they could cut that strip between them where that was found at autopsy neither of them had enough of their own organs to survive on their own.

Hi Rick!! Thanks for the tour gone but not forgotten.

That was awesome Rick.... thank you so much for this. Happy New Year !!!

Used to stop by the gift shops on the way thru, but never had time to do the whole tour yet

Thanks for this. I've considered driving there for Mayberry Days.

Have to see the museum. Didn't know they had one there.

Mount Airy is Andy Griffith’s hometown. People say that TAGS was based on Mt. Airy, but Andy said in interviews that it wasn’t. He said Mayberry was a fictional town where all problems were solved in 30 minutes, but Mt. Airy is a real town with real problems that aren’t so easily solved. Eventually, though, Andy quit fighting it. He said that if people want to believe and say that Mayberry was based on Mt. Airy, then let them. The building that houses The Andy Griffith Playhouse and The Andy Griffith Museum used to be an elementary school. That’s where Andy went to school.

great tv show lot of great memories watching it with my dad and saying i want to go to mayberry great times when a mans word is all u need and a hand shack wish it was that way today
