This idyllic Sitcom, which ran on CBS from 1960 to 1968, starred Andy Griffith as Andy Taylor. It remains enormously popular in reruns. At any hour of any day, some television station in the U.S. is airing the show (if you happen to live in North Carolina, you cannot go a week without finding it in your local listings... which is not a bad thing), and it's safe to say that it's one of the most influential programs in American television history; damn near every sitcom, and possibly every show in any genre, produced between 1970 and 2000 owes something to The Andy Griffith Show.Andy is The Sheriff in the small, friendly town of Mayberry, North Carolina. Despite his authoritarian role, Andy is an easy-going, good-humored guy. He can be tough when the situation demands it, but he prefers to play loose with the rules, and adapt punishments according to the nature of the crime and the individual. His deputy and cousin friend Barney Fife prefers the opposite approach, but since he is clumsy and totally lacking in gravitas, no one takes him seriously. Most of the humor from the early seasons of the show comes from Barney's attempts to bring law and order to an already lawful and orderly town, and Andy's subsequent ribbing of Barney when his plans go wrong. Frequently, Andy will resort to a counter-scheme to protect Barney's fragile ego, and what's left of his reputation as a lawman.The series also focuses on the widowed Andy's relationship with his young son Opie, as he tries to strike a balance between being a fun confidant and instilling a strong sense of right and wrong. Andy dated a few women over the course of the series, but Opie's mother figure was always Aunt Bee,note  Yes, "Bee" (as short for "Beatrice") is the correct spelling, though many people assume it's "Bea". The character's name is shown in the opening credits of later seasons. who lived in the Taylor home and took care of the housework. Andy was also alternately amused and exasperated by the eccentricities of the various townsfolk, including gossipy barber Floyd Lawson, affable drunkard Otis Campbell, highly repressed town clerk Howard Sprague, and good-natured but totally moronic hayseed Gomer Pyle, who early on was spun off into his own series and replaced by his even more idiotic cousin Goober.Supporting actors included Don Knotts as Barney Fife; Ronny Howard (pre-Happy Days) as Opie; Frances Bavier as Aunt Bee; Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle; George Lindsey as Goober Pyle; and Hal Smith as Otis Campbell.It also had an After Show, Mayberry R.F.D., and a Reunion Show in the 1986 made-for-TV movie Return to Mayberry.Sixteen episodes from the show's third season have fallen into the public domain, as the copyright was not renewed before the December 1991 deadline.

Men Can't Keep House

comment
Men Can't Keep House: Played with. Andy and Opie are at first able to clean up the house really well while Aunt Bee is gone, but then they fear she will feel they don't need her. They then decide to mess the house up all over again. Andy is also a terrible cook, usually burning anything more complicated than beans and franks.

Holiday Pardon: There is an episode wherein Ben Weaver is feeling lonely at Christmas and wanting to be able to spend it somewhere with people who care, attempts to steal a bench to be included in the jail's Christmas party. Andy (possibly only ostensibly) lets him go because it's in the spirit of Christmas.

We All Die Someday: In "Aunt Bee's Medicine Man," Aunt Bee is distraught that one of her friends of exactly her same age has just passed away. Barney tries to console her by saying, "We've all got to go sometime...." A Death Glare from Andy informs him this isn't exactly the assurance that was needed at the moment.

Gentleman Thief: One episode involved a criminal like this being held in Mayberry for a while before actual police could come and take him to prison. He charms himself into Aunt Bee and Opie's good graces by telling Opie stories and complimenting Aunt Bee, only to reveal his true colors when he manages to coerce them into letting him out and giving him a gun.

Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off!
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_211c82f5
comment
Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off!: In the memorable Season 3 episode "Mr. McBeevee," Andy threatens to whip Opie when he believes he is lying about how he came upon a quarter. (Opie, in a childlike way, describes McBeevee, a telephone lineman, in a way that makes him seem he's a fantasy character. One time, when they went to try to meet McBeevee at a work site Opie said he would be at, McBeevee is called away to an emergency, making it seem to Andy that his son's friend was an imaginary one.) Opie stands his ground, and somehow, Andy relents ... much to Barney's chagrin. In the end, of course, Andy's faith in Opie telling the truth is rewarded when he comes on McBeevee by chance.

All Crimes Are Equal

All Crimes Are Equal: Barney seems to view any violation of the law as worthy of punishment. A prime example is in "Andy Saves Barney's Morale", when Andy leaves Barney in charge temporarily while he's away, and returns to find the whole town in jail (including Aunt Bee!) for committing minor offenses.

Cardboard Prison: The key is right next to the cell so the town drunk can let himself in and out of the cell. They do move the key when actual criminals are in the cell. Doesn't mean they can't get out just as easily. Ernest T. Bass is also able to do this without the keys because he's good enough with a lockpick to do so.

Generation Xerox: Clarence Earp from the episode "Wyatt Earp Rides Again" is a rough-and-tumble gunfighter and wrestler extraordinaire just like his ancestor Wyatt Earp, even if he doesn't look anything like him. Subverted, though. Clarence Earp isn't really Wyatt Earp's descendant, that was just some nonsense his friend told him in order to give him confidence. After this is exposed, he's told his real name... is Clarence Dempsey, and he's a Generation Xerox of legendary boxer Jack Dempsey.

Spiritual Successor
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_27a42ebc
comment
There was also a 1971 series called The New Andy Griffith Show which was an obvious Spiritual Successor, featuring Griffith in a similar role. Bizarrely, the later show's pilot episode had three old TAGS characters - Barney Fife, Goober Pyle, and Emmett Clark - traveling from Mayberry to the new show's setting of Greenwood, NC to congratulate friend "Andy Sawyer" on his new job as mayor. It's pretty surprising none of them noticed how similar their friend Andy Sawyer was to their hometown sheriff pal Andy Taylor!

Small Name, Big Ego: Barney isn't the best police officer, but stick him in front of an authority figure or pretty woman and he'll try and talk himself up as the best police officer in the world. His big mouth actually got Andy in trouble once when a newspaper publisher with a grudge against Andy sent someone in to try and find out something that would get Andy removed from his position, and Barney talked up his own accomplishments while making Andy out to be incompetent at best and corrupt at worst.

Out of Focus: Warren Ferguson, the Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Barney, who disappeared with no explanation after the episode "Wyatt Earp Rides Again". The only thing stopping him from being a victim of Chuck Cunningham Syndrome is that he wasn't completely written out; occasional name drops from other characters suggested that he remained Andy's deputy, but he never appeared on camera again. Floyd, after Howard McNear's stroke. He would still be mentioned, but wouldn't appear again until McNear was done recuperating.

Intentional Weight Gain: Subverted. In "Barney's Physical," the state passes new height and weight requirements that would disqualify Barney from being a cop. While Andy is able to temporarily stretch Barney out a few inches (via a medical harness), Reality ensues when Barney tries overeating but has no chance of gaining enough weight in time to pass his physical... until Andy realizes Barney is allowed to wear an identification tag with a chain when he's weighed. Barney ends up wearing a huge, heavy-linked chain with his tag and squeaks by the physical.

Poorly Disguised Pilot: The pilot was actually an episode of The Danny Thomas Show called "Danny Meets Andy Griffith", which aired in February of 1960. The Andy Griffith Show made its real debut in October. "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.", which had the character join the Marines and led to the spinoff show of the same title. The final episode of the series, "Mayberry R.F.D.", focuses on the character of Sam Jones (who was introduced three episodes prior), in order to set up the After Show of the same name.

Batman Gambit: In "A Black Day for Mayberry", some G-Men inform Andy and Barney that an armored car carrying 7 million dollars will be passing through their town. Needless to say, Barney lets it slip and the town whips themselves into such a frenzy that the truck arrives to banners, fanfare, and one picketer protesting the Gold Standard. It turns out, however, this was the treasury department's intention the entire time and the truck traveling through Mayberry was just a diversion to draw any potential hijackers away from the real shipment.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Several characters native to Mayberry, including Opie in early seasons, have little or no accent. If you listen closely to Aunt Bee in the first episode, you can tell Frances Bavier was attempting to put on a slight Southern accent. In all other episodes, she drops the pretense and just speaks with her regular accent.

Ultimate Authority Mayor: In the pilot only, aired on Make Room For Daddy, Andy is not only the sheriff, but mayor, justice of the peace and newspaper editor. The parent show's main protagonist, nightclub comedian and singer Danny Williams (played by Danny Thomas), had been charged with failure to stop at a stop sign and was fined $100, and finds out the many hats Andy wears as he (Danny) sits in a holding cell, as he tries to complain about what he views is an unjust punishment for a minor crime. Andy's powers were considerably scaled back by the time the show was picked up for series.

comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ben Weaver of Weaver's Department Store is a bitter crusty old man, but is able to see when he's gone too far and doesn't really want to hurt anyone. In the Christmas episode, he goes as far as bringing presents for the children of a man he drug in to Andy and demanded that he be arrested for making moonshine.

Characterization Marches On
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: In the pilot Andy and Barney are cousins, and it's jokingly implied that Barney got the job purely through nepotism. This is never mentioned again after the first two episodes, and the Andy of the rest of the series never seemed the type to give a job just out of nepotism, but only if he felt that a person truly deserved it. Also, for most of the first season, Griffith plays Andy as more of a country bumpkin type than the Straight Man he would be over the rest of the series. Around the time of the color episodes Andy seemed to get grumpier and was more likely to snap at people around him.

comment
Snipe Hunt: Beautifully subverted at one point early in the series. Opie is interrupting courthouse business (Andy is trying to negotiate with a man who wants to buy the cannon in the town square), and Andy is so flustered he can't think of a real reason to get Opie out. He rushes him out the door with instructions to "find the barrel ring" and to give it to Barney afterwards. A few scenes later...

Early-Installment Weirdness

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: In the Danny Thomas Show pilot Opie has an unseen Aunt Lucy who takes care of him and cleans the jail every day, and Frances Bavier appears as a widow woman unrelated to Andy. The town drunk is Will Hoople, who Andy has deputized to arrest himself for public drunkenness. In the first episode of The Andy Griffith Show itself, Andy and Barney are revealed as cousins, which is how Barney got the deputy job in the first place. Mentioned briefly in the second episode, but never again after that. Also in the first episode, a minor plot point involves Opie's pet bird. Later, in "Opie the Birdman", Opie mentions that he's never taken care of birds before. Barney's girlfriend early in the first season is Hilda Mae instead of Thelma Lou.

 The Andy Griffith Show / int_57bde9be

Smart Cop, Dumb Cop: The show has a variation. Andy is something of a Wonka, he has his own way of figuring things out, and even uses the strengths (and lack thereof) of those around him to help wrap things up, and they usually pay off in the end, even if they seem odd and cockeyed to others. His deputy, Barney, on the other hand, usually tries to go by the rules and by the book as much as possible, but in his own zeal, almost always ends up making things worse, and in a number of cases, relies on Andy to help him out.

Smoking Is Cool
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_596f675a
comment
Smoking Is Cool: Andy lit up several times during the black-and-white era, one prominent example being in the episode "Mr. McBeevee" (after a scene where Andy confronts Opie about whether McBeevee exists); in that same episode, McBeevee (a telephone lineman, played by Karl Swenson, a heavy smoker throughout his life) also smokes. However, most of the smoking was reserved for various bit and bad-guy characters. Deputy Barney Fife was a non-smokernote He would smoke on rare occasions, such as in "Citizen's Arrest"., although Don Knotts was a real-life smoker.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend: "Mr. McBeevee", a man who walks in the treetops with a shiny silver hat, who jingles with the sound of his twelve extra metal hands and blows smoke out of his ears. Opie met and befriended him, but naturally no one believed that such a ridiculous sounding person could exist. It turns out, he's a lineman. He climbs trees to cut their branches away from the power lines, and wears a shiny silver hardhat. His "twelve extra hands" are how he refers to his tools, which jingle on his belt. Blowing smoke from his ears is actually a magic trick he showed to Opie to impress him, and actually involved cigarette smoke.

Clueless Deputy: Barney, who, while carrying a gun, is forbidden by Andy to keep it loaded, and furthermore is only allowed to carry one bullet. The reason he had to keep his bullet in his pocket was because he was unable to holster a loaded gun without it going off. He's undoubtedly the Trope Codifier. Warren Ferguson briefly filled this role before quietly disappearing. Then there are the episodes where Andy or Barney are forced to temporarily deputize even more clueless characters such as Gomer, Goober, Otis, etc.

News Travels Fast: In "Aunt Bee the Warden", Andy is busy using the courthouse to hold other criminals, so Otis has to serve his jail time at the Taylor house, where Aunt Bee works him hard doing chores. She does such a good job that Andy brings the other prisoners over there, but they try to escape when they find out where they're staying, already aware of its reputation. In "A Black Day for Mayberry", Andy trusts Barney with the secret about a gold shipment coming through town. It isn't long before the whole town is aware of it, thanks to Barney.

Put on a Bus: Barney goes off to join the Raleigh police force at the end of season 5. He continued to return for annual guest appearances over the rest of the series. Otis rarely appeared on the show once it switched to color, partly due to sponsors' complaints about his excessive drinking, and partly because his actor, Hal Smith, wanted to concentrate more on his increasingly lucrative side career as a voice actor for Disney, specifically his roles as Goofy and as Owl in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. In season 7's "Opie's Most Unforgettable Character", Andy reveals that Otis has been going over to Mount Pilot to do his drinking and doesn't come to the jail anymore. He did, however, return for the reunion movie.

comment
Technical Pacifist: Andy hates carrying guns, and much prefers to outwit criminals rather than rough them up or threaten them. On at least one occasion, he borrows Barney's gun (and bullet) when he decides that he actually needs one. He also keeps various guns in his house (in addition to sheriff, he is also a hunter and local skeet shooting champion) and a rack of guns in the courthouse. Generally, though, any time he gets a gun for defense, you know he's seriously worried. Andy once explained this was because he felt carrying a gun would serve as needless intimidation — that if he wore a gun, he would wonder if the respect he received and the willingness of the citizens to cooperate with him was out of fear of the gun rather than due to genuine respect for him. This may actually explain why he allowed Barney to carry a gun; he knew that Barney was not physically strong or intimidating on his own and may have needed the gun to help with his duties.

Remember the New Guy?: During Sam Jones' first appearance in the episode "Sam for Town Council", Andy and his friends all comment on how much Sam has done for Mayberry, despite the fact that close to eight full seasons had passed without any mention or appearance of the character. Subverted with town newcomer Ed Sawyer in "Stranger in Town". Upon arriving in town, Sawyer knows each and every detail about the town and its residents even though no one in town knows who he is. It turns out he became familiar with Mayberry through an army buddy, learned about the town through their newspaper, and became so enamored with Mayberry that he decided to move there.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In "Andy and the Woman Speeder," when the eponymous woman gets a speeding citation, she shifts from trying to smooth her way out of it to outright calling Andy a crook and a prejudiced Justice of the Peace; however... When the woman manages to get off scot-free by using her feminine charms on Floyd and Barney, and giving Opie an autographed baseball (the three were witnesses to the speeding), Andy delivers a well-deserved one to her and to his friends. It's the disappointment in his tone that sells this scene. In the episode where Otis' brother visits, Otis convinces Andy and Barney to let him serve as a deputy, as Otis had mistakenly led his brother to believe he was, all because he has always believed his brother was such an upstanding guy. Turns out, he wasn't — after vanishing for the day, the brother wanders into the jail and locks himself up, completely drunk, and admits to Otis that he's the town drunk back home. Otis rightfully lays into him with this speech — while Otis could tolerate himself being a worthless drunk, the fact his brother had always been made out to be such a better person only to turn out to be so useless was a huge letdown to him.

Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Businessman Ben Weaver in the "Christmas Story" episode of Season 1. He starts out the episode appearing to be a garden-variety misanthrope, but Sheriff Andy realizes that his recent spree of misdeeds is just an attempt to get himself arrested so he won't have to spend Christmas alone.

Oblivious Guilt Slinging: In "The Beauty Contest", Andy is to judge the titular contest and everyone in the town keeps bothering him, "suggesting" who should win. On multiple occasions he tells someone how grateful he is that they haven't brought up the subject, just as they were about to press their own candidate on him.

No Communities Were Harmed: Mayberry was famously patterned after Andy Griffith's own hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina. note  Mount Airy is very proud of this and has numerous businesses and attractions based around the series. Signs referring to the town as Mayberry can be found everywhere in its vicinity.

Artistic License – Law Enforcement: Played for laughs with the town drunk, Otis Campbell. Although Sherriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife do haul him in occasionally, they also allow him to check himself in and out whenever he's on a bender. Plus, they don't always lock the cell. Doubtful that such things would occur anywhere, even in small, rural towns like Mayberry.

Lies to Children: Inverted and Played for Laughs, as Andy is accused of this after telling Opie that David's sling was made of leather. Barney insists that Andy is filling his son's head with lies; leather has no snap to it and any slingshot MUST be made of rubber, despite rubber not existing in King David's time, not to mention the ancient version of a sling not being like the modern version; the ancient version was swung in circles to build up speed before being thrown, while the current version is pulled back and then released. Also Lies To Adult Drunks, when Andy told Otis that thunder was clouds bumping together.

Faux Affably Evil: Gentleman Dan Caldwell acts every bit as gentlemanly as his name suggests. He's polite and appreciative to everyone and acts apologetic and submissive to law enforcement. He comes off as such a nice guy that Andy's attempts to explain that Dan is actually in jail for a reason are scoffed at by everyone around him. Then comes the episode's climax. Dan steals Barney's gun, uses it to threaten Aunt Bee and Opie, and even makes an attempt at shooting Andy with it, only failing because Barney only had one bullet chambered.

Stay in the Kitchen: Happened a few times, and usually became part of An Aesop about respecting women. Most notable when Ellie Walker ran for city council, leading to a battle of the sexes between the men of Mayberry and their wives. Averted in the case of Helen Crump, who announces her plans to keep teaching after she marries. Andy's fine with that, though Barney's a little horrified.

Karma Houdini: Ernest T. Bass. In "Ernest T. Bass Joins the Army," when Ernest T. is rejected by the Army (because they met him), he commits extensive vandalism around Mayberry, then escapes from jail twice to break more windows. His punishment: When Andy finds out that the reason he wanted to join the army was so he could wear a uniform to attract women, he gives him Barney's uniform and sends him on his way. However it turns into Laser-Guided Karma when he still can't get a girl with a uniform because he's still an ill-mannered lout. This is pretty much Ernest's defining trait. He's good enough at picking locks to break out of jail whenever he's locked up, a skilled enough fighter that going hand-to-hand isn't a viable option, and he's not so evil that just shooting him would be justified, so the usual method of dealing with him is just to give him what he wants so he'll go away.

Juggling Loaded Guns
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_a8a0603e
comment
Juggling Loaded Guns: There is a very good reason Barney is only allowed to have one bullet. Subverted, though, as Barney actually does know and follow the rules of gun safety, he's just so clumsy he has a tendency to hit the trigger by accident. This nearly comes back to bite Andy in one episode when he faces down and disarms a gunman who is threatening Opie and Aunt Bee with Barney's gun, and then smugly explains that the gun is Barney's and therefore doesn't have a bullet in. He demonstrates this by pointing and shooting— and it turns out the gun had been loaded after all, leaving Andy badly shaken. In few episodes Gomer gets temporarily deputized and turns out to be so bad about this that even Barney chastises him for it.

Doesn't Like Guns: Andy didn't really dislike guns and was certainly not above using one when the situation called for it, but he refused to carry one on him and wouldn't even take one into most situations where someone else would. As he explained it in TV or Not TV, a gun was a tool of intimidation, and he would rather people obey him out of respect than out of a fear of getting shot.

Scare 'Em Straight
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_ac9cac61
comment
Scare 'Em Straight: Attempted in the episode "Hot Rod Otis". Town drunk Otis Campbell buys a car, very understandably worrying Andy and Barney, who fear he's going to get into a drunk driving accident. When they find out that he's been spotted drinking at a local house party, they go to confront him only to find him passed out drunk in his car. They then take him to jail, throw water on his face, and proceed to loudly lament his "passing" while pretending that they can't see or hear him, making him think that he died in an accident and is now a ghost. Ends up being subverted, though. Otis was actually smart enough to realize that he couldn't make sound decisions while drunk, and therefore couldn't be trusted with a car, so he sold his car off to the person throwing the house party before he started drinking.

Be Careful What You Wish For: One of Andy's tricks for dealing with unreasonable citizens is to give them what they ask for in the cruelest way possible. In one notable example Ben Weaver, the resident curmudgeon, ordered Andy to serve a foreclosure on a family who owed him some money. Realizing he couldn't stall, Andy agreed to serve the foreclosure... on the condition that Ben Weaver come along to observe. It didn't take long for Ben to start feeling bad and change his mind.

Loophole Abuse
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: This is Andy's specialty, which he uses to help the townspeople of Mayberry with their problems, and to help get them out of trouble when they were found guilty of minor infractions that he didn't feel they should be unduly punished for. In one notable instance, Barney was in danger of being deemed physically unfit for duty for being underweight (an extended case of the hiccups had ruined an attempt to pack on a couple extra pounds). The new regulation said he had to meet the weight requirement wearing uniform, shoes, and ID tag and chain. It didn't say he couldn't hang the ID tag on a three-foot-long piece of towing chain. In one of the color episodes, Andy briefly hires Ernest T. Bass as a crossing guard – and naturally, Ernest starts heaving rocks at cars that don't stop. Andy tells him not to do that, and Ernest agrees – but he pulls out a brick after Andy leaves. Andy then catches him hurling the brick, and Ernest protests "You said rock! You didn't say anything about no brick!" Andy fires him.

Children's Covert Coterie: One episode sees Opie getting to join a secret club of his friends, even getting the venerated title of Light Keeper (which means he's in charge of the old candle the group uses for their meetings). Unfortunately, their meeting place is an old barn owned by a curmudgeonly farmer who habitually runs them off. This actually leads to a problem when the barn accidentally burns down.

Negative Continuity: In some episode Clara's last name is Edwards, while in others it's Johnson. And sometimes her first name is Bertha. Barney's terrible singing voice is a plot point in several episodes, but Barney sings nice harmony with Andy in others. Early on, it's established that the barber, Floyd Lawson has a sonnote Most notable in â€�Those Gossipin' Men", when he has his son "audition" for the shoe salesman, whereas later on it's brought up that he has no family at all.note Most notable in "Floyd, the Gay Deceiver"

Several of the episodes have these, but it's also Subverted from time to time. Often, Andy would attempt to teach Opie a lesson (don't be selfish) which Opie seems to misunderstand (buying a gift for a girl, instead). Turns out Opie already understands (the gift is a winter coat that the girl's family couldn't afford), and the lesson learned is that Andy should trust Opie.

Monochrome Casting: The absence of any black characters in a show set in the rural South in the 1960s is pretty conspicuous.note Although some do appear as extras. In fact this was an Enforced Trope, as Griffith really wanted to have African Americans in main roles but was overruled by CBS executives who feared that this would be too controversial at the time and CBS affiliates in the South would refuse to carry it.

Fighting Back Is Wrong: Averted (or possibly predated). Opie admits that he's being picked on by a bully in school, and Andy's advice is to hit him. At the end of the episode he comes back with a black eye and a proud story, and everyone is pleased by this turn of events. Obviously TV values have changed since then.

Spin-Off

Spin-Off: This series was a spinoff of The Danny Thomas Show, one episode of which actually was a sort of Poorly Disguised Pilot for this series; and it spawned two spinoffs of its own: Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. and Mayberry R.F.D. (although the latter can arguably be seen as more of an After Show to the original). There was also a 1971 series called The New Andy Griffith Show which was an obvious Spiritual Successor, featuring Griffith in a similar role. Bizarrely, the later show's pilot episode had three old TAGS characters - Barney Fife, Goober Pyle, and Emmett Clark - traveling from Mayberry to the new show's setting of Greenwood, NC to congratulate friend "Andy Sawyer" on his new job as mayor. It's pretty surprising none of them noticed how similar their friend Andy Sawyer was to their hometown sheriff pal Andy Taylor!

Prone to Tears: Barney. Not only does he get upset over something really easily, but he takes a lot of things personally. "Citizen's Arrest" is perhaps the best example of this: he gets so upset over Gomer making a citizen's arrest on him for making an illegal U-turn (this after Barney gave Gomer a ticket for the same offense), that he turns in his badge, resigns as Andy's deputy, and locks himself in jail... all out of a bruised ego.

In one episode a stranger comes in with a portable (at least for that time) tape recorder asking to record local music groups to market to a record company with royalties coming back to the artists. After the initial excitement of the townspeople, he disappears and Andy smells a rat; the Aesop being not falling for con artists, except that it turns out he was completely legit and returns almost immediately bearing a contract with a major record company and a certified check for $5,000 payable to the artists as an advance with more money forthcoming as the reccord gains popularity; double subverting the aesop into not being overly suspicious of strangers

Railroad Plot: A highway variant in "Aunt Bee, the Crusader", when Aunt Bee and the town ladies start out by staging protest rallies at the courthouse and the farm of Mr. Frisby, a chicken farmer who is about to be heartlessly evicted from his property which is the planned site of a new bridge, with the sheriff having no other choice but to seize the property by eminent domain power when Mr. Frisby declines financial compensation. Near the end, Opie discovers a number of moonshine stills and inebriated chickens, and the ladies quickly and angrily turn against Mr. Frisby, who will be facing jail time and have his property seized from him without compensation after being arrested for moonshining.

Worthless Currency: In the "Mayberry Goes Bankrupt" episode, Andy is about to evict Frank Myers from his house, until he finds a 100-year old bond worth many thousands of dollars including accumulated interest, which is potentially worth more than Mayberry has in its treasury. Later on, Andy and Barney discover that the bond was signed during the Civil War, which makes the bond worthless, since the payout would have been made in Confederate dollars.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_ee7ed46e
comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: By the later seasons, Andy seemed to have very little to do in the way of actual sheriffing — to the point where he didn't even need another deputy after Warren's departure. Lampshaded by Howard Sprague's mother in the episode "The Lodge". When she tries to talk Howard out of joining Andy's lodge, she starts to say they're for people who have nothing to do, but stops short when she realizes Andy is standing right there.

Bad "Bad Acting"
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_f19e8a55
comment
Bad "Bad Acting": Barney is a terrible actor, and not a great choir voice either. This, of course, is the writers lampshading that Don Knotts was considered a very talented actor at the time (he won 3 Emmys in the show's first 5 years), and was at least a decent singer. Gavin MacLeod in Season 6, as the man playing Andy in the movie about his life. Andy and Opie enjoy his Large Ham portrayal; Aunt Bee not so much.

Everybody Owns a Ford
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_f4158af7
comment
Everybody Owns a Ford: From the police cruisers to Andy and Barney's daily drivers … to every other car parked on Main Street, it was Fords all the way. (Presumably, the only car dealership in town, where everyone did their business, sold Fords.) Of course, to keep it in the family, the only deviation was the rich characters, who drove Mercurys and Lincolns (the Ford Motor Company's upscale brands.) In reality, all of the cars used by the show really were provided by a local Ford dealership, which would replace the cars with newer models every year.

Glad I Thought of It
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_f432c6bf
comment
Glad I Thought of It: A recurring joke is Andy and Barney investigating something, a civilian making a suggestion, Barney telling the person to stay out of "police business", and then making the exact same suggestion himself.

Taxman Takes the Winnings
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_f438a31c
comment
Taxman Takes the Winnings: In "Aunt Bee on TV", Aunt Bee wins the grand prize on a game show: an entire kitchen full of new appliances and a full-length mink coat. Unfortunately, a taxman decides to pay a visit to Mayberry to remind Andy how much tax is due on the winnings. Aunt Bee ends up selling most of the appliances as well as the mink coat; but still she has enough left to promise to treat Andy and Opie to a vacation on her.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Goober for Gomer, Warren for Barney, Emmett for Floyd The Danny Thomas Show pilot episode had a town drunk named Will, played by Frank Cady. The series replaced him with Hal Smith's Otis.

Running Gag
 The Andy Griffith Show / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Andy and/or Barney getting inadvertently locked in the jail cells. One with the Darling family whenever they appear: "Why don't we play [insert song here]?" "No, that one makes me cry." A very young boy named Leon (played by star Ron Howard's brother, Clint Howard), who was always wearing a cowboy outfit and would silently offer a bite of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich to whoever was around. Invariably, the response would be: "No thanks, Leon."

 The Andy Griffith Show / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: Happens to Opie twice. In the pilot, Andy tells Opie that he lost his Ma much the same way that Opie had recently lost his pet turtle. In another episode Andy tries to get Opie to give to the orphan fund, saying that there are three and a half orphans per square mile. Opie has never seen a half boy.

Dark and Troubled Past: Played with in "Helen's Past", where Andy discovers evidence that would suggest that Helen was actually involved with a gangster years before she relocated to Mayberry. It turns out that Helen was working undercover as part of her journalism thesis on organized crime.
