Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Expect to see more content similar to this for a while . I’ll mix in a couple other subjects too here and there but have a lot of filming locations in mind till end of year or after . Some will be well known and some very obscure , just going with that I enjoy . Took last couple weeks off to rethink the future of this channel and realized I need to focus on quirky passion projects . So, for now ...I will

I read the title and got excited. Watched Andy Griffith show growing up with my parents, dad loves it. The research and effort put forth to put this together doesn't go unappreciated, thank you for your hard work Adam!

Welcome back. Looking good. Lean, mean fighting machine. Just started watching Andy Griffith again from episode one. A much simpler time.

That's one show I think everyone should watch at one point in their lives....

You can meet Thelma Lou (Betty Lynn). She is is a retirement village in Mount Airy NC. She visits the Andy Griffith museum every 4th Friday.

Yes!!! I grew up watching Andy. Still watch it very often to this day.

Watching the old Andy Griffith Show reruns has gotten me through "The 'Rona" lockdown (and semi-lockdown). The enduring warmth and whimsical humor are a reminder of an era when there was at least a tip o' the hat to human decency. Great way to wind down in the evening. Thanks for this really interesting background info -- and welcome back!

The Andy Griffith Show is my favorite show ever, I’m 62 years old and grew up watching this great show, I still watch it today, great video Adam my favorite

Ahhh your glorious energy shared is like beautiful Sun rays glowing down on all of us flowers🌷 So wonderful to have your presence with us again. Very happy day to you sir & many blessings💕

Look who's back, back again, Adam's back, tell a friend. Good to see you back, my friend, I missed ya.

Adam, thank you so much for all you did on the making of this video. You really did an awesome job pointing out where the buildings used to be. I’m 58, and this show is my all time favorite. I really like how you took us to Meyer’s Lake, what a treat. June of 2019, I took the family down to Mount Airy, N.C., and I had the privilege of meeting Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), had my photo taken with her, and she even kissed me on the cheek. Eat your heart out Barney! Anyway, I really appreciate all you do to take us back in time. That’s why you’re my favorite KZfaq channel. You’re the BEST! -Stephen, Ohio 🇺🇸

This actually made me feel better in my time of despair.... Thank You

Glad to see you back ; hope you enjoyed your time away

Love it! I grew up about a quarter mile from the "back forty". I used to walk past on my way to jr. high, and you could see the tower from Hogan's Heroes behind that berm, too. La Ballona creek was the other side, and we could see Mayberry and Gomer's sets from it.

Don't know how I missed this one before the Three's Company video but, The Andy Griffith Show, another one of my all-time favorites. A little bit sad to see how things have changed so much. Nonetheless a great, great video.👍👍👍👍👍

I absolutely love this video. One of my favorites. I live close to the real Mayberry “Mount Airy” North Carolina. My husband and I actually got married at the “Mayberry” courthouse here. Andy plays a HUGE part of our lives. Thelma Lou just celebrated her 94th birthday. Also, last year they threw her a huge birthday party at the Loaded Goat. (A bar themed after the episode) thank you for this episode!!

Welcome back Adam! Hope you had a great break. You were missed. Have a good one. My grandson is obsessed with Andy Griffin.

This reminded me of the time I went to my friend's house and there was someone sitting on his couch that looked like Ron Howard. I got a little closer to him and realized it was Ron Howard! He was there because his Dad knew him because he wrote some of the episodes for Happy Days. Oh and he also wrote some of the original episodes for Laverne & Shirley

I like stuff like this too. Seeing the exact spot of where something occurred and being able to find landmarks around to verify it! Very cool!

Why are there no historical markers? It seems like sites should be preserved.

Welcome back Adam! Sure did miss your vlogs

He’s back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam. That was awesome!! Still watch that show everyday. Pretty cool how you do the matchups. Keep them coming. As a Miami firefighter, you taking me back to a more peaceful time, helps me take a deep breath.

Absolutely awesome. Don't we all wish Mayberry really existed. Yet, it does since we all believe it. Great job. 👍

You’re back!!!! This makes my whole Monday better! I love the filming locations videos.... Glad you’re back!

The Woo is back!! Great to see you once again ATW!! Long may it continue....

This was great Adam, well done. I think you nailed it with the manhole cover.

I watch the Andy Griffith Show every single day.. And Being from Cali watching this I had no idea of where, and how this was filmed.. But the funny thing is I can remember back in the 70's when I was a kid my grandfather saying: look at that beautiful country.. They don't know what country is around here boy.. Him talking about "down south".. Only if he was here today LOLOLOLOL.. Thank you for a very enjoyable video..

What a happy day it is to see Adam The Woo ! back - all the best Adam from us to you !!! 😀😀😀 welcome back

Yeeees! My father's favorite show ever!!!! I have seen every episode hundreds of times. Thank you for this Adam. Lost my Dad a short time ago, and this made my day. Lot of memories with him and talking about this show. Thanks Adam.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Mr. Woo. The lake scenery with the road also reminded me of another favorite TV show shot in that area. Combat! starring Vic Morrow in 1962 when I was all of 7 years old!

I'm glad you're back. We're all looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us. BTW, I've watched other YT channels do "filming locations for the Andy Griffith Show," and none of them measured up to this video. A lot of work and research went into this one. Well done!

I like when Barney Fife finally left Mayberry, changed his name and moved to San Diego to manage some apartments.

Excellent job on this! You do really great on these comparisons and linning up the shots.

Adam this blew my mind and I am grateful to you for this video. I have a story for you. The Andy Griffith show for myself and for many is a refuge from life's challenges. Immersing yourself in Mayberry is food for the soul as you know. Here is the story. I work at Indiana University as an IT computer programmer and I specialized in VR technology. In 2015 IU alumni, Mark Cuban, donated to IU to help our athletics department with new technologies for sports media technology. Part of this donation was to send a delegation of IU leaders and engineers to meet with technology companies that Mr. Cuban works with. I was lucky enough to be part of this delegation. As you can imagine we didn't have much time for sight seeing, but our schedule brought us to RED studios Hollywood. There was a brief mention that this space had be Desilu Productions, but I had no idea of the other depths of American art and history that once walked/worked in these silent halls. When I look back it feels like I unknowingly walked through Mayberry and a bygone era of Hollywood and it gives me a chill. Truly amazing.

THIS WAS EXCELLENT ...a tribute to us TRUE fans!!!!!! AND YOU for the dedication..i THANK YOU!!..ADAM ..thank you ..this took a lot of research!!!!! you did it!

That was awesome dude definitely one of the greatest shows of all time. Big fan of the show especially Don Knotts

I think my favorite episode was The Haunted House. It’s truly amazing how this show appealed to such a wide range of people. We still watch the reruns fairly regularly. Really enjoyed this one it was definitely a trip down memory lane. Thanks!

I’ve been obsessed with the 40 Acres backlot and the Andy Griffith Show for over 20 years. I’ve watched every video and read every website about it. This was great! Thank you. I’d like to walk those hallowed grounds some day. I’m interested in where things happened. Especially where movies and TV shows were filmed. I’m always researching it. You should do a video on where “It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed. It was at RKO Radio Pictures Studios in Culver City, California, and the 89-acre RKO movie ranch in Encino, where "Bedford Falls" was built. It’s a quiet neighborhood now. I’m sure the residents there don’t realize they’re living in Bedford Falls. It’s fascinating to line up the aerial photos of the back lot in the 1940’s with Google Earth views today and see where George Bailey’s house was, where the Main Street and all the shops were. That would make a great video. Love all you do. Really fun to watch your stuff. You are very committed to this. How do you find the time?? Keep up the great work!

Great video! I’m a huge Andy Griffith Show fan and love seeing these old locations even if they don’t look the same anymore. I know there exists some home movies that were shot on the set of the show. I believe, and don’t quote me on this, they were filmed by Rance Howard and it shows the cast hanging out and playing around on set. You can see a lot of the background scenery and buildings that production would normally try to obscure during actual filming.

ADAAAAAAM'S BAAAAAACK!!!!! Oh man, we've missed you! I hope you've had a nice vacation!

Yes the longest two weeks ever. Welcome back Adam it will be a pleasure to join you on your travels again.

You sir are a legend. Thank you for this! Can’t wait for more. Great work!

Thanks Adam, we love your filming locations. Can’t wait to see the next one❤️

Welcome back we miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show was the best! I love watching it with my family!! I missed you Adam!! So happy that you are back!!

Thank you, Adam, for all your research and hard work to bring this to life for us!

Thanks so much, Adam, for the Andy Griffith tour. I am actually a little surprised and very relieved to know that I am not the only person who just can't get enough of Mayberry and its filming locations. In fact, I had actually done some of the research you presented, and had also found some of the locations. I had planned to visit the Mayberry locations someday, but seeing them on your video is truly fantastic and very helpful. I can't help but feel a bit saddened by how much everything has changed, but it's just nice knowing that these memorable locations are real, and that you can still stand in front of the Mayberry courthouse. Thanks again. It was really enjoyable. Bill

I was just doing a little research on Red Studios Hollywood after watching this video and I was surprised to find out the entrance was actually used in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" as Maroon Cartoons. Pretty cool.

Welcome Back Adam! Hope ya had a good time off.

This is, by far, the BEST "The Andy Griffith Show" filming locations documentary ever done; bar none. Great job!

Hello Adam, Absolutely one of my all time favorite TV shows still watch it to this day it never gets old always a lesson to be learned no cussing really no fighting No nudity, life was so much better back then I think you did an excellent job pointing out to us all of the stuff at some points I actually felt sad I really enjoyed it Adam thank you so much ! Take care be careful out there

Hey Adam, thank you for doing this video. My grandpa was a huge fan of the show. I'd get off of work and go visit him and I'd stay a few hours and usually would leave after The Andy Griffith Show was over. He passed back on April 10th. I hadn't seen him in about two months because of all the Rona stuff. I work with a Dr and didn't wanna risk taking it to him. Some of my best memories will be of him laughing while we sat and watched the show. No matter how many times he had seen an episode he would always laugh just as hard as the first time. Thank you for this vlog and all the time and dedication that went into making this video. He would have loved to watch this. Stay safe man.

One of my favorites you’ve ever done. Fantastic job! As a huge fan of TAGS some of this blew my mind. Thanks friend!

They also did the original Star Trek at the Desi Lu studios and in one episode they used the actual Mayberry town set

Aw, thank you! My mom loved the Andy Griffith Show. We all watched it after dinner back in the 1960s when I was a kid. When she had dementia and I was taking care of her it was one of the last TV shows besides baseball that she could still pay attention to. She just passed away in late July.

I’ve been re-watching the series lately, reminiscing about watching re-runs with my dad in the 80s. Brilliant show. Thanks very much for making this episode! I really enjoyed it.

Love ya, Adam. The Andy Griffith Show is one of my dad's favorites, I grew up watching it in reruns with him. This is fantastic stuff, thank you.

This is classic Woo. The main reason I started watching your channel years ago. This is great content. From famous movie shooting locations to the original locations of now famous establishments and businesses. Fantastic job Adam!!!! Taking us back to the Daily Woo days. I love it!!

Thank you for doing this. I can see you have a true passion for finding movie/tv history.

Loved this vlog! When my husband heard it he said, "Oh! Will you play this for me later?". I am sure he will want to see many of your past vlogs! So glad to see you back. It has not been the same without you. Thank you Adam!

Woooooo!!! Welcome back!! You were sorely missed!

Sometimes I dont understand how you figure things out. When a whole town area is gone and now just a big warehouse or something else. Its amazing how you are able to line things up and help us imagine the former TV or movie life of an area. Just a few telephone poles, dirt hill, trees or dip in the road and you reconstruct it all for us. Great investigative skills. Thank you.

I enjoy your videos but I especialy love the videos like this one. I was born in 1962 and grew up watching these shows and it is so cool to watch you pointing out where these shows were taped. Thank you. Stay safe and have a pawsome week from Jan and Daisey in Texas.

That group of buildings next to Mayberry and at the end of the dirt road that was used for out of town shots is the outdoor set for Hogan's Heroes. So the folks of Mayberry were living next to a German POW camp.

Adam, it would be interesting if we could take a look at where Andy actually lived out there in California when he was filming this show.

I watched the show when it originally aired. Have watched each episode at least 5 times.

Love these filming location videos!!

Good to see you Adam, love you, I'm in NC, 30mins from Mount Airy, NC

Welcome back Adam! Been watching your travels from four years ago the last two weeks.

Fav show of all time Andy Griffith Show. Thanx for the tour of Mayberry Set. Wish I coulda been there when the Backlot was still there. Very Cool Indeed.

I so love this...I have watched my whole life, our kids watched, now, our grandkids. We will watch as long as we are here👍 Thank you so much for doing this 😊

Nice to see you . I did not know what to do with my day. Lol

Hope you enjoyed your vacation? Great to have you back.. Good video thank you buddy...

Amazing details you’ve gave us Adam,my mother loved this show. I appreciate all that you do man.

Thank you for this. Will watch this with my dad, he grew up with The Andy Griffith Show, and introduced it to us kids and now my favorite show! Clean, wholesome family show. Barney was the BEST! 😊

Good to see you back. I hope the time off did you well!

fantastic work

These are the ones I really like because Andy Griffith happens to be one of the shows my mom watches all the time along with I Love Lucy and Mama's family. I always show her these because it's something that they had no way of knowing or finding out back in the day unless you were from Hollyweird. You put all of it in a nice clean fully explained, researched and documented package and she always gets a kick out it. Much appreciated.

This is now my favorite episode. My daughter and I hunted down some of these spots but you’ve done some incredible research and pin pointed things much better. Thank you

So great to see you, missed you so much!

Welcome back!! 🙌🏽 Thank you for taking all the time you do to check and collect all the information and pictures. What a great broadcast. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My dad loves this show, I love this show, my kids love this show... timeless! BTW we North Carolinians are claiming The Andy Griffith Show no matter where it was filmed 😃. Great work Adam, enjoyed it!

I’m gonna have to send this one to my father. I grew up watching it with him. Great childhood memories. Thank you for all you do!

THANKS ADAM! I never realized how much I treasured your vlogs until you were not there. You are always cutting edge informative and interesting with your content. Dare I say the "Number 1 Vlogger on KZfaq"? You're the Best!

Yeah The Woos back!!!!

As I sit here binging on the show, I stumbled across this video! I have LOVED this show all my life. Thank you for sharing this!! So intriguing

This is great! Growing up watching Andy it's really cool to see where they actually filmed it all!

Hooray, you're back! And I do thank you for this tour of one of my all-time favorite shows. I've probably watched most Andy Griffith episodes 30 times! It's bittersweet, though, to see so much is gone, but again, thanks so much for taking all this time and doing all the research for us.

Adam you are the Sherlock Holmes of cool filming locations. Welcome back and really enjoyed this one!

We missed you! You're honestly one of my favorite KZfaqrs; You're very original and fun to watch. It's been a tough few weeks!

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. Thank you. A reminder to think ahead accompanied me through your nostalgic walk. "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever." (1 Peter 24 -25)

Thrilled to see your back! Been a bit down because of an anniversary of my sons death this month and not being able to go to the ocean or go anywhere to bring up my spirits. Your videos make me feel I'm right there with you. Thank you for bringing us to interesting places!

Thanks Adam, for all the hours of research you put into this.

We'll done Sir Adam the Woo! From a guy who's almost 60, I appreciate your investigative work in putting this video together! Awesome job. Of I could give 100 thumbs up I would. Thank you for the walk down memory lane! Carry on and God bless you and yours!

Hey Adam! I really wanted to appreciate you and say thank you for your videos. I’ve been battling depression for a while now but your videos are always there for me even when nobody else isn’t. God bless 🙏

Adam! Looking good with the weight loss! Good job! Working on the same myself.

alright :) great video Adam, love this show so much. Thanks a lot Adam :)

Thanks for showing these locations. Never knew where that show was filmed. One of the great shows of the past. I knew that Andy Griffith (the man) spent his final years in a place that I love to visit when I go back home, Manteo, North Carolina.

I used to watch Andy Of Mayberry when I was 12 years old, back in 1964, on up till the Andy Of Mayberry Show stopped running. I loved the intro song, with the whistling, and all....always thought the world of Andy Griffith and Little "Opie"..Ron Howard. I would love to be able to go visit Mount Airy, North Carolina.."Andy Of Mayberry" Style. This was one of the Best Shows I have ever watched. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
