Andy Griffith portrays the widower sheriff of the made-up North Carolina town of Mayberry. His life is hampered by an incompetent, but well-intentioned deputy named Barney Fife, a spinster aunt and housekeeper named Aunt Bee, and a brilliant little son named Opie. His life is further complicated by local scoundrels, inept companions, and temperamental girlfriends. Regarding the era of the show, Andy Griffith noted in an interview with Today: "Well, even though we never said it and even though it was filmed in the 1960s, it had a '30s vibe. We were reminiscent of a bygone era at the moment." The sitcom never finished lower than seventh in the Nielsen ratings and finished its last season at the top spot. According to TV Guide, it is the ninth-best television program in American history. During the eight-season span of the series, neither Griffith nor the show received any honors, although Knotts and Bavier won a combined six Emmys. The show, which originated from an episode of The Danny Thomas Show titled "Danny Meets Andy Griffith," generated its own spin-off series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.C., a sequel series, Mayberry R.F.D., and a reunion telefilm, Return to Mayberry. Due to the show's lasting popularity, there is a great deal of products associated with it. The full series is available on DVD and is presently airing on TV Land. Additionally, all eight seasons are now accessible through streaming video providers such as Netflix.
