Product Description:
THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW premiered in 1960 and featuring one of the most beloved television fathers of all time quickly charmed its way into the hearts of audiences. Set in the fictitious environs of Mayberry North Carolina the series chronicles daily life in that peaceful Southern hamlet through the gently humorous eyes of town sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith). A widower raising his young son Opie (a pre-HAPPY DAYS Ron Howard) with the help of his live-in spinster aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) Andy capably navigates single parenthood with the same goodhearted wisdom that he brought to his law enforcement duties--that is when he wasn't being hampered by the fidgety bug-eyed antics of his bungling deputy sheriff Barney Fife (Don Knotts).This collection presents all 32 episodes of the series' eventful fourth season which introduced goofy gas-station attendant Goober Pyle (George Lindsey) as a replacement for his cousin Gomer (Jim Nabors) who went on to anchor his own spinoff series with GOMER PYLE U.S.M.C. The collection also includes the fan-favorite episodes 'Opie the Birdman' and 'Citizen's Arrest' as well as the TV Guide-listed classics 'Barney's Sidecar' and 'The Haunted House'--wholesome throwbacks to a simpler time.System Requirements:Running Time 801 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097360473544

Goober fans, rejoice--the arrival of George Lindsay's popular character is just one of the homespun joys of The Andy Griffith Show's fourth season, which has been compiled on this five-disc set. Lindsay as Goober Pyle, cousin to Jim Nabors's Gomer, makes his debut in one of the season's funniest episodes, 'Fun Girls,' which is also the only time Gomer and Goober appeared together on screen. By season's end, Gomer would depart for his own series (season 4's final episode, 'Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.,' would serve as the pilot for that program), but before then, he enjoyed some fine episodes, including 'Andy Saves Gomer' (from a fire at the filing station) and 'Citizen's Arrest' (a knockout showcase for Nabors and Don Knotts, who is topnotch, as always, as Barney Fife). Other supporting characters get a spotlight or two in season 4, including Howard Morris's Ernest T. Bass ('Hot Rod Otis, 'Otis T. Bass Joins the Army') and Denver Pyle and Maggie Peterson's Briscoe and Charlene Darling ('Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee'), but of course, the crux of the show remains Andy and son Opie (Ron Howard), who do stand-out work in the well-loved 'Opie the Birdman,' which addresses serious topics--death and responsibility--in the series' typically warm and humane manner. No supplemental features accompany the 32 black-and-white episodes, but that won't detract one bit from spending some quality time with the good people of Mayberry. --Paul Gaita
