A classic rebuilt from the DNA of Steptoe & Son delivering relatable working class heroes striving for a better life and fighting about it.
My dad loved it, but it just wasn't up my alley with its type of humor. Sanford is annoying and frustrating.
My dad loved this show and I couldn't stand it. Sanford got on my last nerve. A classic, but not one I enjoyed.
Classic family comedy. Why haven’t you watched it yet “you big dummy”
A true classic about the African American experience
Grumpy old man runs junk shop. Goofy sexist jokes. Orneriness, Kooky characters. Take a break from Downton Abbey & GOT. Have some fun!
I LOVED watching this with my mom & grandma! A kinda dumb but hilarious & iconic sitcom with memorable bits. Definitely worth giving a try!
Don’t be a big dummy! Give this show a chance.
The best family sitcom in the 70's by a long shot. Never have I seen a show with just 2 main characters and have it be this good and last.
Good ol classic comedic sitcom. Used to watch reruns with my grandparents.

The Andy Griffith Show is an American sitcom first televised on CBS between October 3, 1960 and April 1, 1968. Andy Griffith portrays the widowed sheriff of the fictional small community of Mayberry, North Carolina. His life is complicated by an inept, but well-meaning deputy, Barney Fife, a spinster aunt and housekeeper, Aunt Bee, and a precocious young son, Opie. Local ne'er-do-wells, bumbling pals, and temperamental girlfriends further complicate his life. Andy Griffith stated in a Today Show interview, with respect to the time period of the show: "Well, though we never said it, and though it was shot in the '60s, it had a feeling of the '30s. It was when we were doing it, of a time gone by."
The series never placed lower than seventh in the Nielsen ratings and ended its final season at number one. It has been ranked by TV Guide as the 9th-best show in American television history. Though neither Griffith nor the show won awards during its eight-season run, series co-stars Knotts and Bavier accumulated a combined total of six Emmy Awards. The show, a semi-spin-off from an episode of The Danny Thomas Show titled "Danny Meets Andy Griffith", spawned its own spin-off series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., a sequel series, Mayberry R.F.D., and a reunion telemovie, Return to Mayberry. The show's enduring popularity has generated a good deal of show-related merchandise. Reruns currently air on TV Land, and the complete series is available on DVD. All eight seasons are also now available by streaming video services such as Netflix.
