I still watch andy Griffith every day .I love it .❤😊

A comfort show. Love these guys forever.

What a wonderful group of people. Living forever in TV land.

Loved the show forevermore ♥️♥️♥️🤗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️

Really neat to see these folks in later years. We miss them immensely.

The Andy Griffith is by far better than any show on TV nowadays.

I justed finished watching the entire series, and it is so Refreshing not to have to worry about language or skin on such a Great show like Andy Griffith.

There’s a good reason the Andy Griffith Show has never been off the air ever since the very first episode. That’s nearly 60 years. I’ve been watching the entire time. Seen every episode 100 times…but they never get old.

Love Otis so funny. He usually just drank and walked. Loved this show

Rest in peace..love u all. Thank u so much for the memories and I can't tell u the yrs I spent in front of tv watching all of u as a kid .Gof bless and thank u

By far TAGS was the absolute best sitcom in the history of television. The entire cast was amazing. The storylines were incredible, the chemistry phenomenal. And Don Knotts was the heart, a true comedic genius. There will never be another TAGS, ever.

Barney made the show. I also loved Otis Campbell who played the part of a drunk brilliantly.

It was one of the most descent heart warming TV show I have ever watched, ever.

Raif Hollister! What a voice. I wish he'd made a few records.

You can tell he's an actor that gets tired of being called by his stage name all of the time. He's Don! 🙂 Plus, Thelma Lou doesn't look like she's aged a bit!

How I Love watching Andy Griffith show still watch it I give All cast a hight 5 they we'll always be in my heart 💖👌👋👋👋🤗

For those who don't know, this episode of "Nashville Now" first aired September 18th, 1991 on TNN.

Still watch these reruns every night. I don't care if I've seen it a thousand times , I still love the Andy Griffith Show , and this show was way before my time. I love everybody that was on that show. Especially Earnest T. Crazy ass lollol

National treasures, all. What an amazing show that will be making people laugh for many decades to come.

Just a wonderful show....I am in that 1st generation who grew up in the golden days of TV... This show is holsom and displayed good moral quality. ..Thanks for the memories!

Don was a true American Gem...That show personified Americana..It was Norman Rockwell at its best....

Since I moved in with my parents to take care of them mom and I watch the Andy Griffith show every day together. We love this show. We love Otis and when he rides the cow as a horse we laugh so much. Our most favorite show was the one with the loaded goat. 🤣

The whole cast of the AGS is so humble yet so talented - unlike many of today’s stars who lack the humility and think far more of their talent than is warranted.

These people will always live on in our hearts. Whether they are gone or still with us, the happiness they brought to us can never be forgotten. Thank you for posting this.

It’s now the second day of 2022. This show never gets old. And if I’m not mistaken opie is the only one still alive. Rip to all the cast

I love this show I watch it every night

I wish they would release copies of these shows for sale. My son and I were interviewed by Ralph back in the 80s when he was 6 years old. It was so sad when Nashville Now left the air. I was listening to Ralph on WSM when he did his last all-night radio show. There will never be another Ralph Emory. When you see Ralph Emory you know you are going to be entertained.

I'm glad he called him about that job as the deputy. That's the whole reason I watched that show, the Barney Fife character.

Don knotts was one of the funniest people ever RIP Don.

Love Andy Griffith show .

Otis had a good conversation with himself as Pooh and Owl!

I was security on the set of Nashville Now during this and it was insane!

George Lindsey doing the moon walk ... I have seen it all now

Hal Smith did a great job as Otis Campbell. But I remember him more fondly as JOHN AVERY WHITAKER on ADVENTURES IN ODYSSEY. Great radio drama which was entertaining for both kids and their parents. He was a staple on car trips. The kids would ask, "how much longer, Mom?" I'd answer, "Oh, 3 more Adventure episodes."

Love Andy Griffin show

Oh my gosh... there's ol' Rafe Hollister! And Otis!! Wow. This video just made my day... thank you so much for posting it!!!

Always loved Don Knotts!!

I was 6 when this came out, and now I’m 35 😩 I grew up watching Andy Griffith and loved Otis, Rafe, the Dillard’s, and everybody. It’s crazy seeing how old they’d gotten, I think we all forget about the age when we watch these things 💔

Eleanor Donahue who played "Ellie" and was the oldest daughter on Father Knows Best is still alive also.

At 36 yo I came into AGS late.. Tv shows today have no idea how to make a wholesome show without shoving derogatory, racial or political agendas. This show was so clean and funny. These folks make me wish I lived back then. I'm thankful I have them to watch anytime I want. Rest in peace to the cast who are no longer with us.

Good ol W.va Boy!! We love and miss you Don! ALWAYS!!

these people were angels, loved them all

Hal Smith was also the voice of the dog "Goliath" on the _Davy and Goliath_ claymation children's show that ran for decades; his most popular phrase there was a very deep baritone "Oh, Davey."

I still watch about a dozen shows a week.Otis was very talented.

Great actors and I'll bet they were great in their real lives. I belong to a Civil War history group. After meetings some of us go to the nearby pub. We call ourselves the Otis Campbell Society complete with a photo of Otis on the table. Calm down. We aren't drunks. Almost everybody even young people get the humor.

Thank you for the good memories.

This is the greatest thing i have ever seen...🙂❤✌

Thank you for posting this. Delightful to see them all. The episode where Thelma Lou shows up at the party with a husband was sad but appropriate. Barney left town and didn't marry her after being her boyfriend for so long. He dropped the ball! So she went ahead and got herself a husband.

Otis is the best Television drunk ever

Wow I didn't know Otis was so talented I'm impressed!!!

So many from that show are dead and gone now. Still beloved, though. Howard McNear/Floyd the barber [1969], Frances Bavier/Aunt Bee [1989], Hal Smith/Otis [1994], Don Knotts/Barney [2006], George Lindsey/Goober [2012], and now Andy. Betty Lynn/Thelma is still alive as is Elinor Donahue. Such wonderful characters on a great show!! Thank you for uploading this.

I loved all the shows and will never stop

RIP Don Knotts, Jim Nabors, and my heart throb of all time, Miss Eleanor(Elinor)Donahue. I still watch episodes of the original show every week. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

Mi programa favorito nunca me cansare de verla ! ️. What a wonderful group of people. Living forever in TV land..

It was a great show - hard to realize the members of the cast are almost all gone now. Very funny show.

This saddens me, what ever happened to the wholesome shows the whole family loved to watch. Lord I wish it We all could go back to a simpler place to live and raise familes😢😢😢

Ralph used to have a storage unit at s place I worked.. he always introduced himself when he came in.. "Hello.. I'm Ralph Emery". Anyway.. Andy Griffith was the best show that ever came on television.

My favorite character is Earnest T. Bass. The bricks he'd throw through windows was THE FUNNIEST THING TO A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS NOT IN THAT MUCH TROUBLE... BUT MAYBE CLOSE IN MY OWN WAY.

Love this show, watch every time it's on if possible

R.I.P Don Knotts.you are missed.

Love all of the Cast and that Otis cracked us both up!

What a wonderful show

I think it’s great that Betty Lynn set the record straight and at least called out Aaron Ruben in the writers room over how awful she felt it was that they had Thelma Lou abandon Barney and marry someone else, and in the long run she was right because as she said most of the fans she spoke to over the years told her how much they hated that decision (my parents definitely hated it). But hey, at least she said something at the time. And that’s no slight against Aaron Ruben, he was one of the all time greatest classic TV writers but I also think that this interview and the guests on this segment also reflect how badly he and the writing staff dropped the ball after Don Knotts left. Obviously the show could never be the same without Barney but geez, the best they could do was come up with terrible, dull, unfunny characters like Warren the deputy, Howard Sprague the loser stuffed-shirt momma’s boy and Emmit the fix it guy?? Yeesh. There’s a reason you don’t see those actors featured on most of these retrospectives. Plus the plots overall were more boring, you had Andy’s real life anger issues bleeding into his character when Andy became more cranky and also occasionally rude to Aunt Bee, just bleh. The color episodes are just a downer overall. I also want to say in my opinion George Lindsay would have made a great replacement deputy after Barney left. Also, hearing Hal Smith do his famous Winnie the Pooh voices was fantastic. Great video all around!

Love the Mayberry cast, with Barney being my very favorite. I love ❤️ Barney.. he was the show. Great TV shows back then in the good old days.. no cussin', no sex, etc. .. best of times.

Beautiful show with great actors and funny Amazing I like to watch Andy's show over and over again 🌷🌼🌷⚘

I still watch the show in reruns’

Look how long the show has been in syndication!! This was a legendary show, and STILL lives in the hearts of us all!! It is still better than any show that has been on since, outside of the Carol Burnett show!

Love this show! But Barney was the show. It was never the same when he left. One of the funniest men who ever lived!

Gotta love Ralph Emery. Watched his show all the time.

I've never seen this!! Absolutely love seeing the cast come back together (except for Andy) - - even some minor characters.

Betty that played Thelma was real pretty.

How far talk shows have come!! Wow!

Otis was also incredible, and it looks like he's really hammered here!😂😂😂😂

Betty Lynn was such a classy lovely woman. Still is. And I believe the last survivor of that wonderful show

The best message is don't drink...period.

One of the best shoes ever created

I've never seen this -So glad I saw it today! I'm 1 year older than Ron Howard and grew up with the "Characters".

Jan 29 2020 Like family we all grow old together

Thanks again! So great to see these guys, especially Don Knotts. Fantastic! :)

I see quite a few of you younger than 50's commenting. Ralph Emery the host is well known and respected in Nashville. He's old school with respect and honest questioning. Not much in the laugh department as he would rather let the guests take that lead. This is from the show Nashville Now.

Love it thanks for posting

Interviewer is just reading a script, no feelings.

Great advice about drinking and driving from ol' Otis himself!!

Srerling Holloway, who was mentioned as being the first Winnie was also on one episoide as a salesman.

Mi programa favorito nunca me cansare de verla ! ❤️👍

The Fun Girls lived in Mt Pilot. Great interview!!!

Love these people and show ❤️

Al Smith, Otis here, also did most of the villian voices and sometime good guys on the old Clutch Cargo cartoon show.

Otis was very talented 👍

we all loved Barney, (Don Knotts!

So what are you folks complaining about a lousy interview? This is great!! Long time ago, this film clip, eh? Yes, I am older than age 50 and a country hick, too!!

Thelma Lou is the only one still alive. 93 years old. god bless her and everybody else from that show. such amazing childhood memories from that show. Andy was like a father figure in my living room for 30 minutes on friday nights and the shows that followed were Star Trek (William Shatner , another father figure) and Dragnet after that before i had to go off to bed. such priceless memories. i feel lucky to have experienced such tv shows and that time period. wish i wasnt the only one still alive from those days. miss everybody, then nowadays when i hear that Earle Hagen whistling tune , i choke up.

Don Knotts took that role and truly owned it. Few supporting characters are that important to a show. Barney won something like 5 Emmys. I loved Andy, too, but if you watch the first few years he was more animated, more country, his character smiled and sang, he was friendly with everyone and gave sage advice. As the show wore on - it’s like he tired of the part and phoned in his performance. He shook his head a lot, and his character was always aggravated at Barney, Aunt Bea, everyone really. I think his transition of acting style is unparalleled. I’ve never seen a character’s personality change that much. I was surprised to hear - from Andy himself in interviews - admit that Francis Bouvier (Aunt Bea) couldn’t stand him. He said they fought a lot. Can you imagine screaming at “Ain’t Bea”? Lol.

“Barney ,”would have shown up in the Tweed suit.

Hal Smith was one of the best voice actors of all time!

Terrific memories, great TV!

Aww leave Ralph alone . He was and is a Nashville icon! I appreciate the get together ! Thanks for posting !

Best half hour of weekly TV that has ever been produced, bar none. To this day ... as I'm flipping channels and can't find something WHOLESOME to make me laugh ... I click to re-runs of the broadcast. If hollyweird was smart, they would come up with a similar type of weekly broadcast, though I doubt that ANY could reach the level that A.G. Show reached. All the characters were awesome, but Barney was my favorite.

I remember ralph Emery with shotgun red. The AGS was iconic and still is. Watch it every day.

'Andy' never dated 'Thelma Lou' - mark 8:05.
