Return to Mayberry was a 1986 Made-for-TV Movie which reunited the cast of The Andy Griffith Show.In the film, Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) and his wife Helen (Aneta Corsaut) decide to move back to Mayberry, with Andy planning to run for sheriff again. However, he declines when he finds out that Barney Fife (Don Knotts) is running, as he doesn't want to take that away from him. Meanwhile, hotel owner Wally Butler (Richard Linebacker) has enlisted the help of mountain man Ernest T. Bass (Howard Morris) in order to generate a hoax about a sea monster in order to drum up business. Barney believes the monster is real and tries to investigate, making him the subject of ridicule from his opponent and putting his election at risk, so Andy has to help bail him out by uncovering the truth behind the monster. In the end, Andy helps Barney expose Butler and Bass, saving Barney's reputation. After finding out that Andy was planning to run for sheriff, Barney drops out and endorses Andy, who returns as sheriff of Mayberry, with Barney as his deputy. | |

Porn Stache: Opie got hit by the Eighties hard, as he has grown a rather ridiculous fuzzy mustache and is sporting an equally ridiculous comb-over. | |

Bookends | |
| Return to Mayberry / int_5313c266 | comment |
Book Ends: Andy and Helen return to Mayberry while Opie and Eunice and their son leave Mayberry. Andy also remarks how Opie leaving is like the time he raised the orphaned birds and set them free when the time came for them to leave the nest. Also, the movie begins and ends on the iconic series whistling theme. The movie bookends the series by having Andy and Barney return to their roles as sheriff and deputy, respectively. | |

The Bus Came Back | |
| Return to Mayberry / int_927b2f11 | comment |
The Bus Came Back: Many regular and supporting characters from The Andy Griffith Show returned for the film, including Andy and Opie Taylor, Helen Crump, Barney Fife, Thelma Lou, Gomer and Goober Pyle, Howard Sprague, Otis Campbell, Ernest T. Bass, and the Darling family. In Helen's case, it was a literal example, as she arrives in Mayberry on a bus. | |

Bus Crash | |
| Return to Mayberry / int_952d21ec | comment |
Bus Crash: In a very sad and mournful scene, Andy visits the grave of Aunt Bee, who passed away in the 20 years he has been gone. Frances Bavier, the actress who played her, was wrought with illness beyond any hope of ever coming back to reprise her role, making her the only member of the main cast who was gone. All we get is Janet Waldo's impression of her voice as Andy remembers her talking. Uncle Ephram has also passed away. | |
