About The Andy Griffith Show

The Andy Griffith Show is an American situation comedy television show starring Andy Griffith as Andy Taylor, the sheriff of the fictional small town of Mayberry, North Carolina. The rest of the main cast consisted of Ron Howard, as Andy's young son Opie; Don Knotts as his high-strung deputy Barney Fife (for the first five seasons); and Frances Bavier as Andy's Aunt Bee, who took care of the housekeeping. Knotts won five Emmys for his work, while Bavier received one. First televised by CBS between October 3, 1960 and April 1, 1968, the series was a hit for all of its eight seasons, never placing lower than seventh in the Nielsen Ratings and ending its run as the top-rated show.
