I like the show too. No negroes, phaggs, etc. Andy could be pretty overbearing at times though.
The show ran 8 years and ended its run the #1 rated show on TV...although by that time the show was absolutely dreadful. Are you counting Mayberry RFD as a continuation of the show? After it stopped being The Andy Griffith Show, it continued as Mayberry RFD for a few years, without Andy Griffith. He was replaced as sheriff by Ken Berry, the guy who previously played Captain Parmenter, on F. Troop. No, I didn't include RFD, which was just awful. Agreed. I literally only watch the black and white shows. I don't even think of the color Andy Griffith show as part of the original series.

I believe I've seen every episode of the Andy Griffith Show. It was a great series.
I wasn't a fan of any of the followups. Matlock, etc.

Aunt Bee's pickles were the best Actually, they were terrible. No one liked them. It was Clara Edwards that made great pickles.

the show was superior. It displayed morality, ethics, loyalty and dispensed humor without the need for profanity and vulgarity. It was very pro-family .
In his personal life, though, Andy's morality was not so good and was a typical liberal.

Ron Howard is a stinking liberal as well.
But he saved John Wayne from getting shot in the back. No he didn't, he shot the bartender that short JW in the back!

The reason The Andy Griffith Show was so successful was because the show had some of the best comedy writers in Hollywood on staff. Those guys "thought funny." In my opinion, most so called comedy shows today are staffed by writers whose comedic talents are on about the same level as college fraternity rush skits.  FWIW. L.W.
