THE
ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
THE COMPLETE 7th SEASON
It
was a colorful season seven for The Andy Griffith Show, 30 more fun-filled
visits to the familiar streets of Mayberry, and to the warm-hearted folks who
brought the town to life. By all accounts, this was the most successful season
yet for the critically acclaimed family show. It was the top-rated half-hour of
the 1966-’67 season and earned two Emmy® Awards for the supporting work of Don
Knotts (as fumbling Barney Fife) and Frances
Bavier (as beloved Aunt Bee). Relive your favorite
Mayberry moments and join Andy (Andy
Griffith), Opie (Ron Howard), Floyd (Howard
McNear, in his final season) and the rest of the town for this five-disc odyssey
to a time and place when mistakes, misadventures, and even disagreements
eventually would work out just fine.
Down-home humor and an endearing cast of characters helped make "The
Andy Griffith Show" one of the most beloved comedies in the history of
television. Introduced as a spinoff of "The Danny Thomas Show" in 1960, "The
Andy Griffith Show" ran for eight seasons in prime time.
Widower Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) divides his
time between raising his young son, Opie (Ron Howard),
and his job as sheriff (and Justice of the Peace) of the sleepy North Carolina
town of Mayberry. Andy and Opie live with Andy's
Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), who serves as a surrogate
mother to both father and son. Andy's nervous cousin,
Barney Fife (Don Knotts), is his deputy sheriff -- whose utter incompetence
is tolerated because Mayberry is virtually
crime-free.
