Well Return to Mayberry, the big finale is awful.

Plus the transmission wigged out. No sound. Breaking up. I'm sorry I was DVR'ing it.

Wish that you would run green Acres through to the end than the beverly Hillbillies through and back to green Acres.

I am making $89/hour telecommuting. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is acquiring $10 thousand a month by working on the web, that was truly shocking for me, she prescribed me to attempt it. simply give it a shot on the accompanying site Copy and paste Link ----->> www.cash03.com

If MeTV was going to do the Month of Mayberry again, they should've given Leave It to Beaver a rest for the month on weekday mornings and put Mayberry RFD on in its place.
Pacificsun TheSentinel 42 months ago
Uhhh, no. We've been Andy Griffith'd to death. I love the show in the evenings. But it is not a morning show.

I loved sweet Gomer on TAGS, but just couldn't make friends with Gomer Pyle, USMC.
Wackydoglady 43 months ago
I cant believe you left out the episode PICKLES, that was the most hilarious episode. Very disappointed.
littledebbie Wackydoglady 43 months ago
Yes, I agree that they should’ve included that one. Did you know that it was Don Knotts’s favorite episode?

What does this have to do with anything on this website? Take it to Facebook where your warped views are more welcome. This isn't the place for politics.

I wish they would show more episodes of Mayberry rfd like last year.
SherriMccune 43 months ago
Couldn't stand that show! Ken Berry's studied blandness was patronizing, his little boy was no Opie, etc.
Lojagu SherriMccune 43 months ago
I agree. R.F.D. had about a third the number of episodes as TAGS, like Star Trek, Gilligan’s Island, and Lost in Space (more than several other sci-fi shows METV currently airs). Why not show it regularly at least once a week?

Like on Sundays, as a replacement for Mama's Family at 5 and 5:30.
JBec55 TheSentinel 42 months ago
I just can’t get into Mana’s Family. While I like the actors, especially Carol Burnett, I just have not been able to get around Vicky Lawrence acting like an old lady. The get-up just doesn’t seem real to me. However, Sophia on Golden Girls seems so realistic. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For those of us with serious chronic illness these MeTV specials are a Godsend. Be happy you can have that attitude towards TV, I understand, a long time ago I did not watch TV for 10 years; I was so busy living. Now, it's all changed. It's nice to have this in addition to reading books & writing on Social Media. Wish you all the best! Cute meme w/ Shatner!!!

I have wondered what horrible thing a jealous Opie did to Andy, Jr. between "Andy's Baby" and "Return to Mayberry."
JoQuinn RichardPniewski 43 months ago
Hilarious!!!!

Looking forward to catching these gems. Also, time to put Rockford Files back in the rotation. Hopefully this summer. 🤙🏽

What a troll you are, you're the one talking about shoving masks up peoples anus and spouting Q lies about the Democrats using biological warfare on the American people. And you have the gall to talk about others being rude?
JBec55 42 months ago
It’s a sad commentary when posts on such great sites like this one have to be deleted because of looney tunes (sorry Mickey & Yogi, etc.) who spew their ridiculousness because they need to get heard. Such unhappy need-to-get-a-lifers🙄

Andy was a liberal Democrat who supported President Obama and would be disgusted by you.

So the truth is rude? Andy was a liberal Democrat who supported Obama. He would be disgusted by your Q conspiracy theories about Democrats using biological weapons on the American people and stealing the 2020 election. Absolutely disgusted.

Put the color Andy Griffith shows on ALL THE TIME
robroyfingerhead OHC 43 months ago
I agree.Do the color episodes get lower ratings ? What about RFD ? I wonder if there's any chance of airing the few "The New Andy Griffith Show" episodes ?
Lojagu robroyfingerhead 43 months ago
Wow, seeing The New Andy Griffith Show would be awesome! Several Mayberry regulars even showed up in the pilot! How about The Headmaster too, from that same early 70’s season?
Lojagu robroyfingerhead 43 months ago
Yes, let’s please see more color TAGS, R.F.D., and Andy’s two early 70’s short-lived comedies! I’m tired of the old B&W TAGS, even though they’re classics.
robroyfingerhead Lojagu 43 months ago
Do you think MeTV have access to the more obscure Andy stuff ? I never get an answer when I ask about the color episodes.
Newyorkcitygal 43 months ago
I can't wait until May! Andy Griffith show has always been one of my favorite shows of all time!
