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.So wet your whistle grab your fishing pole and take a trip back to Mayberry with this four-disc set containing the premiere season of the classic hit series!SPECIAL FEATURES:Full Screen FormatDolby Digital: English MonoSystem Requirements: Runnning Time 915 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSICS Rating: NR UPC: 097360537246 Manufacturer No: 053724 Amazon.com: Since its network debut in 1960, The Andy Griffith Show has been a viewer favorite thanks to its folksy, nostalgic charm and memorable cast, both of which shine in this set featuring the series' debut season. Originally spun off from an episode of Make Room for Daddy (both series shared producers Sheldon Leonard and Danny Thomas), The Andy Griffith Show centered around the lives of small-town sheriff Andy Taylor (the marvelously dry Griffith), his son Opie (Ron Howard), cousin and deputy Barney Fife (multiple Emmy winner Don Knotts), and the other gentle eccentrics of Mayberry (which was based on Griffith's real hometown). But while other "rural" programs poked fun at its characters (The Real McCoys, The Beverly Hillbillies), The Andy Griffith Show never stooped to stereotypes, preferring instead to draw its humor from the fine writing and cast, which counted Frances Bavier as Aunt Bee, Howard McNear as Floyd the Barber, and Hal Campbell as Mayberry's benevolent drunk, Otis, among the first season ensemble. All 32 episodes (including the epilogues, which are rarely aired in syndication) are compiled on this four-disc set, which regrettably lacks any supplemental features. --Paul Gaita Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Greatest Television Comedy Ever ProducedMany mainstream television critics assert that "Seinfeld" is the best comedy program ever produced. While "Seinfeld" had its funny moments, it featured a cast of some of the most unlikeable and least redeemable characters in television history. Celebrating a program about four utter narcissists who look upon other people as mere objects to be used and discarded is more than passing strange, no matter how popular it was (and still is). No, the greatest television comedy ever produced ... Read More Rating: - Love em!I was thrilled to find that all of the seasons are now on DVD and available for a reasonable price! This makes for great Fathers Day gifts for my dad! I would definately reccomend them! Rating: - Love the show - the DVD is great!This is one of my favorite shows and I love the DVD. I can't find anything to complain about. Some bonus features would be great, but I never expect much in the way of bonuses when it's a video of something old. I recommend this if you are a fan of the show! Rating:  - Family FuntimeIt's nice to finally have something the whole family can enjoy-this is an oft heard phrase when film companies are promoting their latest 'family' film but unfortunately much of the 'family' movies are geared toward kids and leaves adults out or is too dramatic for younger kids or too silly, etc. but this series is great because there's something for everyone. My 10, 8, & 6 year olds love it and even my 2 year old gets into the music that frequently accompany's the show in various forms. It's ...

Could someone who has this please tell me if it does? thanks! :0) |
