The Andy Griffith Show (Season 3) DVD ReviewPosted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010 One of the most celebrated series in TV history, The Andy Griffith Show harkens to a simpler time in America's history, a time dominated by sandlot baseball, Sunday church, and apple pie. It's against this backdrop that The Andy Griffith Show is set in the small Carolina town of Mayberry. The main character is Sheriff Andy Griffith who lives his Aunt Bee and young son Opie. Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife adds great comic relief, while numerous others throughout the town, from storeowners to neighbors add additional life to the stories... The Andy Griffith Show (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Mr. McBeevee" in which Opie makes friends with a telephone repairman named Mr. McBeevee who he describes to Andy and Barney as a man who lives in the trees, jingles when he walks, and has twelve extra hands! Since they've never meet Mr. McBeevee, Andy and Barney think that Opie's new friend is make believe - at least until Opie comes home with a quarter he says Mr. McBeevee gave him! Now, Andy must investigate or else risk punishing his son for stealing the quarter? Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Barney Mends a Broken Heart" in which Barney complicates Andy's love life by fixing him up with a new girl when Andy's date, Peggy, cancels on him, and "Barney and the Governor" in which Barney is given a personal commendation by the Governor for his excellent job performance, but turns up drunk when Otis spikes the water cooler?
