It's a comedy series from 1960s that aired on CBS network. The series highlights on the family of a widower lawyer Andy Taylor. He and his son Opie live with Andy's aunt Bee. They face new challenges everyday.
The first season shines when it focuses on Griffith's gun-free, people-focused peacekeeping methods, and on how he handles being the widowed father of an 8-year-old boy.
If you're missing the authoritative patriarchs and reverential sons that are absent from today's father-bashing comedies, it's time for another look at The Andy Griffith Show.
The Andy Griffith Show, like that other "hick comedy" King of the Hill, has moments of genuine emotional drama and can tug at your heart strings while simultaneously tickling your funny bone.
