My TV Show Review on The Andy Griffith Show · 8:27pm Nov 21st, 2020
Howdy do, Pals.
This is your friendly film, TV show, and episode reporter here with another review.
Today, for my 27th TV show analysis, and the 3rd installment of my "Thanksgiving Treat", I'm gonna give you guys my take of "The Andy Griffith Show".
Here's the rundown of it:
Andy Taylor is the Sheriff of a town called Mayberry, as well as the widowed father of his son Opie and the nephew of Aunt Bee.
Everyday, the Taylor family and their friends would go through a variety of misadventures that would often come as a result of comedic mishaps, which many would consider unusual to happen in a little and peaceful town like Mayberry.
I'm not gonna lie, I had been interested in seeing this program for quite some time. So, after my family and I finished watching iCarly, we decided to watch this show next since it was available for free on both Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Coming from a guy who finally finished watching the show not too long ago, I really can't deny that "The Andy Griffith Show" is a gem of a program. A classic even.
For instance, the performances of the cast, casting, characters, and character development were incredible!
Every step of the way, I've noted that the characters had a distinguishable personality and depth that made them instantly human, and the experiences they had helped them to grow in more ways than one. Plus, the performers portrayed their characters like they were born for the parts, and they gave wonderful comedic-timings and looked like they were having all the fun in the world. And I literally can't deny it, Don Knotts stole the show in his portrayal of Barney Fife, and Barney himself had the funniest moments whenever he was on the screen. The characters of Goober and Gomer Pyle were also characters that I didn't pay much mind to at first, but as the series went on...they grew on me.
The overall writing and direction was brilliant as well. In terms of the comedy, it may not be powerful enough to give other sitcoms a run for their money, but the humor is still entertaining to the point of generating laughter and has an innocent quality that makes it irresistible. However, the things that brought the show to life the most were its themes and morals about love, family, friendship, and doing the right thing, all of which are surprisingly rare in television nowadays (with a few exceptions, of course).
In conclusion, "The Andy Griffith Show" is a phenomenal program. It has all the hallmarks to make it one of the best around, and it's absolutely worth watching.
So, I rate "The Andy Griffith Show" five out of five stars.
Love this show. Used to watch it all the time while it was still on Netflix. Not really a fan of the colored seasons. Andy felt like he got a lot more irritable by that point, and he wasn't really all that fun to watch. Love everything before that point, though.

I thought the color seasons were great, but I will admit that they weren't as fun without Barney around.
