Using my husband George’s KZfaq account, I have binge watched almost half of your films for hours today . The narrative done by you, is absolutely soothing and comforting. Everyone of your films has been a wonderful walk down memory lane when life at least appeared more innocent than the times we are living now. The quality of your films is superb and extremely professional. I look forward to watching more of your films. These are such a wonderful break from the disturbing reality that we live in today. May the Good Lord bless all of your efforts. Thank you.

My sister was one of Andy Griffith's students in Goldsboro, NC, where I was born. Our father was stationed there at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. As to his performance personality development, Andy credited a Moravian Church pastor, in his home town, with teaching him to play several musical instruments, and with performing in front of others. I enjoy your videos, Jerry. Please keep it up!

Hi Jerry, Thanks for another excellent video. Back in the 80's I was in the computer industry and while on one of my visits to one of the facilities in Pinehurst, NC I was told by one of the data processing managers that the lady who played Aunt Bee was in one of the other facilities in the area and that she was very upset that she was not being noticed as the actor she was. I was shocked since that lady always seemed so sweet in the series. Of course, now days someone would have been fired for even mentioning anything about a patient. If she was so grouchy to Andy as you explained, she sure did a great job of being in character when they filmed that series. That program is truly timeless and after all of these years it's still fun to watch. I particularly like it when I am sick and not interested in listening to discouraging news and sitcoms where the theme seems to be insulting each other or bathroom / bedroom talk in graphic to obscene terms. I guess that is what has to be called comfort TV..LOL Again, thanks for your great video and insight into the lives of these great actors from the past.

So I started counting my favorite episodes between the two shows and Andy Griffith episodes won by about 20 episodes more over I Love Lucy most of it due to Barney Fife, Ernest T. Bass & the Darlings episodes as well as the interaction Andy had with Opie, Aunt Bee, Gomer Pyle, Goober, Thelma Lou, Helen & Floyd the barber. Oh and let’s not forget Reta Shaw as the inmate escapee who had a crush on Barney. Thanks for the memories Mr. Skinner. You’re a great narrator. 🙏🏻❤️

With these shows you can laugh plus kind of learn a message from them, it made you appreciate life and family values. I had heard so many sad story about how Aunt Bee, but you gave so much enlightenment to her of how she was sorry and it showed honor to her. It was the way you worded it. We have no ideal what a person is going through in there life. Kinda made me weep. Very good video thank you for your hard work.

It's been said that when Don left, he took Andy's heart and will to play the same character the same way with him. I've read that he said when he decided to renew (and stay on) the show for 3 more seasons, he knew that Don had been looking at other work but he never expected Don to turn down the 3 remaining seasons (though Andy respected and supported him). Don had already signed a 5 year contract with MGM or Disney (can't remember which). Andy explained that after 5 years day in and day out with his best friend, he eventually lost the connection with Andy Taylor, who the Sheriff had been. With Don gone, the chemistry was gone. His only true connection that remained was Ron Howard (with whom he also became close lifelong friends with). With Don gone and Andy's loss of connection to 60-65 Andy Taylor, his performance changed. He also had fights with Francis Bavier, which eventually played on his nerves. He was heartbroken without Don and stressed to the max with Francis, and it showed on screen. His irritation was evident. There were some wonderful color episodes, especially in season 6 and 8, but nothing compares to the B&W versions. It wasn't only that Barney wasn't there, it was that Don was gone, and without Don, Andy had no way to be his old self (they played off each other so well). Look at the episodes where Barney returned... Andy's character reverts to nearly the same Sheriff as in 60-65.

Ron Howard is one the very few child actors who turned out to be a success later in life in the business he was raised in. It's sad that Andy, Barney, and Aunt Bee have passed. Mr. Skinner thanks for such a beautiful tribute to The Andy Griffith Cast. A job well done.

I loved Betty Lynn aka Thelma Lou. I got to meet her and Ernest T. Bass the first year my husband took me to Mt. Airy for The Mayberry Days. It was so exciting to see both ifvthem and get to talk to them and I got their autographs. I've never got to go back but I hold those memories deep in my heart. I was so tickled to see the rocks in Earnest T. Bass's burlap bag laying on the floor beside him. I only wish I could've gone back year after year. My kids say I'm the biggest Andy Griffith show ever. I do love the show and watched it today.

Thanks ever so much for this one Jerry, brilliant as always, so informative, and you have such a wonderful accent.... The "Andy Griffith Show" was my young brothers favourite show when it was airing, they just adored it and the actors.... The reruns still go on and children of today still enjoy watching something funny and new to them.... Brilliance goes a long way in life and you have a winner, this it is a priceless gem that stands the test of time... Ron Howard has achieved his goal and directs some beautiful movies, way to go as there is a lot more for you to do yet... REST IN ETERNAL PEACE DON, ANDY AND OUR LOVELY AUNT BEE... YOU MADE OUR WEEK AS CHILDREN THANK YOU.

Excellent, Jerry! Love your videos, but haven't had a chance yet to watch all of them yet 'cause there are so MANY! You're an excellent narrator, taking your time to explain all pertinent details as well as many interesting facts concerning all of the actors' personal lives. The pictures are great as well. Your videos will be fondlyremembered hopefully for many years to come.Keep them coming. They are well enjoyed and greatly appreciated.

You did a fine job on this and I thank You, it pushed me to look further into the cast from the show. I learned in the last of season 3 Floyd the Barber had a stroke, we don't see much activity at the Barber Shop until the middle on Season 4 where Floyd was always propped up in a chair holding a newspaper in his bad left hand and one time standing held onto Thelma Lou so he couldn't fall. He died a year later. I was very saddened about that as I was very fond of the Barber. Thank You so much for this video

One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE FILMS from my childhood & favorite memory w/my family, was "The Ghost & Mr. Chicken" starring Don Knotts. Such a darling, silly, funny film... & in his usual nervous character, a WONDERFULLY ENJOYABLE Don Knotts performance. Rest peacefully "Deputy Fife." You will be missed... forever.💕💕💕

I watched an interview with Andy & he said , Don called him and asked if he needed a deputy . They pitched the idea to Sheldon Leanard & Barney was added to the show. Andy freely admitted that without Barney the show never would've had the success it did. And he stated , the show was never the same after Don left to fullfill his movie ambitions. The only Emmys awarded for that show were all 3 given to Don. I allwsys thought it was odd that all who knew Don said he was quiet & reserved.
