9 - last one tripped me up...
Opie is really adopted. ? lol
10/10 great show
Perfect score! TAGS, LITB, and Green Acres are my three favorite 60s comedies.
Pretty easy stuff
Here's the moment of truth. You got 10 out of 10 - You danced right through this quiz like Barney and this convict! Pretty easy so I won't take too much credit for the perfect score.
The problem with not showing the color shows is that they just show the same episodes over and over. All other sitcoms on METV show all the episodes of the series both color and B&W, except for Andy Griffith. Why do they add it on Sundays, just to fill an empty space? A lot of shows could be added to Sunday in that time slot.
I agree. Many of the color episodes are good. I wish they'd play all of the episodes.
I agree. MeTV should play all 8 seasons of TAGS. Instead they tend to show only seasons 1-5 and since it's on as often as it is (which I do love) you can burn through 5 seasons in a hurry. You need to show a series in its entirety to fully understand the characters. Plus there are some pretty darn good color episodes!!

9/10, I had 100% until I got to the very last question #10 was missed.
I wish METV would add the color episodes, especially since they added Andy Griffith to the Sunday lineup.

I love all episodes including seasons 6 through 8, the color episodes.
9/10 the one about Helen Crump stumped me. I did not know about that episode.
It was a good episode - Helen had a lot of explaining to do...
10 out of 10, fun questions 😊
10/10 They should burn the color shows

10 out of 10. The issue I have with the color episodes is the change in Andy Griffith's character. Instead of good humor and common sense kindness, the color Andy Taylor was short on patience and long on yelling. He was especially harsh with Aunt Bee (buying a car, getting a part-time job, taking flying lessons). Season eight was just not very good period. Introducing that busy body character played by Ruth McDevitt (especially in "Helen's Past") was an indication to me that ideas were running short. I know he was a replacement for Howard McNear/Floyd but I wasn't keen on Emmett either.
8 out of 10. The two I got wrong were both from Season 8, one of the three seasons done in color, which MeTV won't show because, when they do, a sizeable number of viewers pitches a fit. I get it, they're nowhere near as good as the first five seasons, but there were still good episodes and the show (and "Mayberry RFD" which followed) was still quite popular when it originally ran.
And with that, I'll get down off my soapbox...

9/10. Not too bad
I got 8/10. Not bad since I haven't watched the show in a while.
