Andy
Griffith plays Andy Taylor, a widowed sheriff with a son
(Opie) in the small sleepy North Carolina town of
Mayberry. They live with Andy's Aunt Bee, who takes
great care of the. Andy's deputy is his bumbling but
neurotically hilarious cousin Barney fife. Most of the
story centers on the interactions of the characters, as
there is little crime in Mayberry. Subtle philosophical
moral tales lead to the success of this wonderfully
classic show, making it a truly timeless piece of
television history Several spin-off series come from The
Andy Griffith Show. Jim Nabors' Gomer Pyle character
started there.
