Classic family TV comedy The Andy Griffith Show turned 50 in 2010, and to celebrate, Paramount Home Entertainment released The Andy Griffith Show 50th Anniversary: Best of Mayberry
The Andy Griffith Show aired from 1960 to 1968 and starred Andy Griffith (Waitress) as Sheriff Andy Taylor, who lived in Mayberry, N.C., with his son Opie (a young Ron Howard, director of A Beautiful Mind), and Aunt Bee (Francis Bavier of TV’s It’s a Great Life). Don Knotts (TV’s Three’s Company) played Sheriff Taylor’s hyper cousin, Deputy Barney Fife.
