In Honor of Andy Griffith: The Top Ten Video Moments From ‘Mayberry’

10 Best Scenes from Mayberry and The Andy Griffith Show

(Photo: AP)

For many, Andy Griffith represents an idyllic time in American history.  As Sheriff Andy Taylor on 1960s TV comedy “The Andy Griffith Show,” he kept the peace and made people laugh, while embodying the country’s ideals.

According to his friend Bill Friday, one of the country’s most beloved actors died Tuesday at age 86, at his home in North Carolina.

In 2005, when he received a Presidential Medal of Freedom, then-President George W. Bush aptly described the man and where he stood in the country’s consciousness: “TV shows come and go, but there’s only one Andy Griffith.”

In his honor, we have compiled some of best moments in “Mayberry,” the fictional town where he was sheriff:

10) An embodiment of simpler times, “Citizen’s Arrest” follows what happens after Barney arrests Gomer for making an illegal U-turn.  Start at around 4 minutes for the best part of the scene:

9) In “Barney’s First Car,” Andy chastises Barney for withdrawing his entire life’s savings, $300, to buy his own car.  The last big purchase he made was an anniversary present for his parents, he says– a septic tank.  “For their anniversary?” Andy asks.

8) In “A Wife for Andy,” Barney plays matchmaker but ends up not liking the woman, Opie’s teacher, after learning she can‘t cook and wouldn’t stop working if she got married.

7) In “Andy’s English Valet,” Bernard Fox makes his first appearance as the tourist Malcolm, calling Andy “constable” instead of “sheriff.”  Barney thinks the Englishman is Canadian.

6) In “Jailbreak,” Barney accidentally lets a fugitive escape from jail. The clip opens with Barney desperately trying to win the respect of a walk-in who only wants to see the sheriff.

5) In “High Noon in Mayberry,” Barney becomes convinced that an ex-con really only came to town for revenge. “Been wanting to see you for a long time to set things straight between us,” Barney reads the man’s letter aloud. “Now he’s coming here to gun you down for revenge!” he says to Andy, “It’s all right here…between the lines. All you gotta do is look for it!”

4) In “Three Wishes for Opie,” wishes start coming true in Mayberry, and Barney has a superstitious explanation.

3) In “The New Housekeeper,” Opie is upset that his housekeeper is getting married and leaving. “You told me I could speak now, or forever hold my peace!” he protests. “Well now I‘m telling you if you don’t hush up, you’ll be forever holding the seat of your britches,” Andy says with a smile.

2) In “Opie and the Bully” Andy has to decide whether to interfere on Opie’s behalf with a school bully.  See how one of America’s favorite fathers tackled the problem:

1) Finally, in “The Pickle Story,“ the gang finds itself in a ”pickle” after pretending to like Aunt Bee’s less-than-tasty snacks. Watch what happens, below:

“The Andy Griffith Show” was a loving portrait of the town where few grew up but many wished they did — a place where all foibles are forgiven and friendships are forever. Villains came through town and moved on, usually changed by their stay in Mayberry. That was all a credit to Griffith, Craig Fincannon, who met Griffith in 1974, said.

    As strong as my disgust with him was for his pandering/hawking of Obamacare….I must say that his original show, black & white, w Barney and Gomer was probably one of the smartest, funniest and most important shows ever. Surely that show provided more teachable moments for American kids than any show in TV history.
    What I learned from watching THAT show has stayed with me my whole life. For that, Mr Griffith will have my never-ending graditude.
    Actually saw him perform at the NM State Fair at the height of the TV shows’s success. He sang and told stories. It was great..of course.
    RIP Sheriff Andy

    I find some of the comments here very disappointing – I would expect this kind of thing on the Daily Kos, but I would expect conservatives to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

    I disagreed with his politics, but Andy Griffith was a great actor, and his passing should be mourned regardless of your political beliefs. The Andy Griffith Show is one of the best parts of American television history, and I believe stands as one of the best television shows ever made.

    But even regardless of that, please engage your brain before posting some moronic hate-filled comment. The man just died. Show some respect for that reason, if for no other.

      No, no he chose to use the CHARACTERS of Andy Taylor and Opie to stump for Obamacare, which is WAY different than doing it as Andy Griffith and Ron Howard. They desecrated these iconic figures as if they did not care that the average fan of the show is most likely not a supporter of Obamacare. It is unforgivable and frankly, I am sick and tired of having to turn the other cheek, swallow hard and take it all the time when the actors and performers that I enjoy try to cram liberalism down my throat. I want them to STF up and entertain and if they were smart, they would realize that about half of their fans are going to be turned off.

      Do you notice that actors and entertainers only become outspoken in their liberalism AFTER they become wealthy and famous stars? Why is that?

      It pains me to type this on today of all days, as I am a HUGE TAGS fan; but the Andy Griffith/Ron Howard stunt in 2010 was creepy, disgusting, and very hurtful to lifelong fans of the show.

      Thank you for your rational response to this issue.
      I would like to say Im astonished at the way people are behaving and the comments they are leaving..but sadly the internet teaches us to quickly become jaded to any idea of decency on any public forum.

      Yes, its fine to disagree with his politics (I know I did) but the man was a talented actor who was an American Icon, and who never harmed anyone. he should be remembered for his work, and mourned for the life that was lost…

      Im glad at least someone here is able to see that.

      JEFFV38, Andy Griffith and Ron Howard betrayed most of their fans by crossing the line from their personal opinions as Americans to a creepy and dispicable desecration of those iconic characters to shill for Obamacare. They should have NEVER crossed that line and not only was it very strange and unnatural, but it was unforgivable. It was painful, epsecially if you grew up watching the show, loving it, and enjoying Andy Griffith’s body of work over the years. Your analogy is flawed and what they did in character is WAY different then what they do in their own private lives.

While we are sorry that he has passed (as he did contribute much to our entertainment over the years), disappointed he chose to spend his later years pushing Obamacare on naive scared Seniors.

    I enjoyed the Andy Griffith show growing up, until Don Knotts left and the show went to color. It was never the same.
    But then I REALLY enjoyed Matlock.
    I don’t judge a show by the person doing the acting. If we all did, we’d never see a movie or watch a TV show. After all, this stuff is coming out of hollywood, and the lifestyles and views of the vast majority of hollywood entertainers is opposed to our beliefs.
    If I have a medical emergency, I don’t ask the political views of the ER staff. We’re wise enough to separate the two – what we are, as opposed to what we do for a living….

    I REFUSED to watch a single re-run of ANY of this man’s TV shows after this A-hole did those ObamaCare commercials with “Opie”. Even Happy Days – I flat out refuse to watch since Ron Howard also did the ObamaCare commercials with him.

      You’re no better than the Liberals with this comment and you come across as very hateful.

      Andy, as a Hollywood lefty (Roman Polanski supporter) , and ObamaCare supporter (Planned Parenthood Financial Support), let the world know, he thought pedophiles were wonderful people.

      @YoungConservative94
      You must be a RINO voter. How does it feel to keep LOSING to liberals because you play by the rules and they don’t. You whine like one for sure.

      youngconservative has it right… all of you all focusing on him being a “commie” you are all as wrong as the progressive liberals you vow to hate.

      in turn, you are becoming them. No matter what he may have done doing those commericals (which i was disgusted by also), he was a man of God and always was of good moral and values.

      God bless him and rest in peace.

      @CRAZY TIMES said “he was a man of God and always was of good moral and values.”

      Really – what is your basis for that kind of statement?

      He was married three times, so we know he supported marriage.

      People liked the “character”, most people have no idea what he was like as a man.

      We do know his political views.

      If you want to see the real Andy Griffith, then watch “A Face in the Crowd”.
      It’s a much more realistic synopsis of his true character. It’s why he was chosen for the part.
      His ruthless selfserving Southern manner is Ted Kennedy progressive to the core.

      But the “pickle” and “Barneys first car” show were gently funny. I’ll always remember the better days along with them.

      to all posting…..

      YOU ALL ARE FREAKIN NUTS… THIS IS A GOOD REASON WHY I MADE MY NAME CRAZY TIMES… NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO SAY MICHAEL LANDON WAS A HOMOSEXUAL…

      … YOU ALL ARE FREAKIN FOOLS WHO ARE NEOLIBERALS… YOU ALL WANT TO DESTROY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH YOU… YOUR WRONG AND YOU ARE IGNORANT. GRIFFITH WAS A DEMORCRAT, NOT A COMMUNIST. THERE WAS A DIFFERERENCE BACK THEN IN THE 60′S, BUT YOU ALL DONT KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOUR HEADS ARE SO FAR UP YOUR OWN FOUR POINTS OF CONTACT THAT ALL YOU SEE IS RED.. WELL THAT RED IS YOUR OWN RED BLOOD CELLS MAKE A HUGE HEMOROID, MAKING YOU ARROGANT AND IRRITATING.

      GET A LIFE, AND TELL YOUR PARENTS YOU NEED HELP!!!!! ALL OF YOU ALL!

    My very favorite was when Andy went out of town for a day, and Barney arrested the whole town. Andy embarrassed him by letting them all go, then they felt bad and put themselves back in jail.

      Yes. The haters cannot resist going after his politics–an elderly man who had a long career and that is because he was liked. He was and is an American icon.

      Just think, in 1962 when the Andy Griffith Show was filmed, we were on the brink of thermonuclear war with Cuba & the USSR, trying to fight the Communists. Today people are mourning the passing of that same actor from 1962, who late in life used his goodwill with the American public to get a Communist elected as President.
