The Andy Griffith Show (Season 2) DVD Review

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010

One of the most popular TV shows in history, The Andy Griffith Show transports viewers back in time to a simpler era dominated by small town things such as apple pie, family, neighbors, and black and white television? The memorable theme song whistle is widely regarded as one of the more recognizable ever produced, and the long-standing syndication of the show's reruns is unprecedented. The Andy Griffith Show centers around the small town of Mayberry and its easy-going sheriff Andy Griffith. With his wife long passed, he's father to a young boy named Opie (Ron Howard). Andy and Opie are joined in Mayberry by Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife, Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), and a number of other crazy characters.

The Andy Griffith Show (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Opie and the Bully" in which a fellow schoolboy torments Opie, forcing Andy to give some fatherly advice? Other notable episodes include "Barney's Replacement" in which Barney comes to believe that Andy is grooming his replacement, and "Sheriff Barney" in which Barney is offered the job of sheriff by a rival township (a job he declines following Andy's offer to let Barney be Mayberry's sheriff for a day)? The season concludes with "Deputy Otis," an episode in which the town drunk Otis (because he's written letters to his family on County stationary) has led his family to believe that he's a deputy in Mayberry?
