#1 Cheap The Andy Griffith Show - The Complete Final Season Reviews
Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
This is a very nice box set with the original 25 minute episodes. 5 DVDs, Great Color, Good sound and at a price barely above 20 dollars. I know some will complain because Floyd Lawson is not on this last season, No Otis Campbell or Ernest T. Bass and Barney Fife was only on one episode but the wholesomness of the other characters really shine through such a Howard Sprague, Goober Pyle & Emmitt Clark. Yes, it is true that there is not much action here and no bad guys coming to Mayberry to wreak havok on the community. But the down home values of the show are here to prove once again that "The Andy Griffith Show" is a period piece that will be surely missed in our lives today.
The Andy Griffith Show - The Complete Final Season Overview
It was a colorful season eighth for The Andy Griffith Show, 30 more fun-filled visits to the familiar streets of Mayberry, and to the warm-hearted folks who brought the town to life. By all accounts, this was the most successful season yet for the critically acclaimed family show. It was the top-rated half-hour of the 1966-’67 season and earned two Emmy® Awards for the supporting work of Don Knotts (as fumbling Barney Fife) and Frances Bavier (as beloved Aunt Bee). Relive your favorite Mayberry moments and join Andy (Andy Griffith), Opie (Ron Howard), Floyd (Howard McNear, in his final season) and the rest of the town for this five-disc odyssey to a time and place when mistakes, misadventures, and even disagreements eventually would work out just fine.
The End .. and a New Beginning - J. Poppens - Greenville, NC
Season eight continues the trend of season seven by improving on what are now known as the "Color Episodes". Its the character of Howard Sprague that makes a lot of these episodes entertaining ("Howard and Millie" almost makes you forget you are watching a color episode). "Howard's New Life" is unbelievable and mostly wierd, but it has its funny moments when Howard first moves in and sizes up his new home. "Barney Hosts a Summitt Meeting" is also unbelievable, but it turns out to be the best of his "return shows" since leaving the series. At the end their are four transistion shows with Ken Berry being established as farmer Sam Jones for the new series "Mayberry RFD". The incredibly talented performer is miscast in a lame attempt at continuing the adventures of Mayberry, and ends up being dull and uninteresting. Surprisingly, the show was successful and ran for three years before CBS decided to axe all its rural themed shows. Recommended for completists only.
