The Andy Griffith show was one of the greatest, and when the Dillards were on an episode it was all the better still. Wish I could go hear them play now in Branson.

Andy: "The boys are kinda quiet tonight." Briscoe: "Oh, they're just overcome with emotion."

Never grew tired of those tunes. Timeless.

Not Long ago I was in Branson Missouri at Silver Dollar City. Over behind the Wilderness Church there was a little outdoor stage where someone was playing Bluegrass. I walked over and sat down to listen and learned something I didn't know. The guy singing played Dooley and then asked the audience if we had ever heard it and where? I naturally raised my hand and said yes on the Andy Griffith Show. He said and do you know where they were from. So the obvious answer I thought was North Carolina. That's where I was wrong they were actually from the Ozarks near Branson. So I learned something that day. Either way it was a good performance the guy put on that day. I'm sure the Dillards would have appreciated it.

I loved the Dillards on Andy Griffith when I was growing up. I watched that show every week and hope that the Dillards would sing a song. I still watch Andy Griffith re-runs on tv and love it when the Dillards sing. From a big fan in Maine.

They were great as the Darlings - without entering a word. 😂❤

My favorite episodes were when the Darlings came to town 🥰

Loved you guys on Andy Griffith.

I absolutely love you guys. I'm from Missouri and appreciate Blue Grass. Love, love, love your music!! Keep it going.

Listening to these guys as a little kid in the early 70's started my love of Bluegrass music. I am forever grateful to them for that.

Dillards live...my favorite album!!! Slicker than deer guts on a door knob!

I LOVE THIS SHOW THE ONLY SHOW THAT I WILL NOT MISS ON TV AND ITS BEEN 50 YRS NOW... EACH EPISODE IVE SEEN 50 TIMES... I MISS THAT ERA AND THE TIME OF OUR WORLD.... GOLDEN YEARS. TODAYS TV SHOWS ARE SICK, FLAT, NONE SENSE AND MIND DECAYING STORIES... MORE POWER TO US OLD TIMERS. 🙏🙏🙏GOT BE WITH U ALL.

Grew up watching Andy G. Now that I'm semi-retired and watching reruns, I appreciate the talent these guys had (And Charlene) Loved their "dopey" look too..lol

It would not have been the same show without the darlings a.k.a. the Dillards. Those are the best of all the Andy Griffith. It wouldn’t have been the same without Barney fife, or Otis Campbell or Andy Taylor or Opie. What a great show. hallelujah and praise the Lord for them

Love these guys. always looked forward to the Darlings coming to town. and the music is outstanding.

Watching the episode with you all in it right now, still love Andy Griffith, they don't make shows like this anymore!

Love you all listen to your music about every day!

These guys were awesome!!

All my favorite episodes were the ones with The Darling family and of course Ernest T. Bass.

They are soooo good! Wish they were on the show more and got to play more songs!!!

They were all outstanding musicians but boy that Doug was a monster on the 5 string banjo. R.I.P.

Fantastic, Fabulous, AWESOME, and Many more adjectives!

Hillbillies from Salem MO! As a fellow Missourian always been proud of that fact.

We all loved them then, and we love them even more today.

BEST SHOW EVER GOD BLESS YOU AND REST IN PEASE ANDY WE ALL THANK YOU.

Most of my favorites are with you all in the show!!!

They are very talented musicians.

The Darlings were awesome in both Television land and reality. Denver Pyle who played the Brown Jug, was just icing on the parts.

An influence they had? He must mean they have. Just saw an episode with them in it and here I am hooked

I love that episode. Dooley is my favorite song

I think you did ok too !!! God bless the Dillards
