More Information

The Andy Griffith Show was created by Sheldon Leonard, produced by Desilu, and televised by CBS from October 3rd, 1960 to April 1st, 1968. The show's first five seasons were filmed in black and white while the last three were in color.

The series was very popular from its inception and left the air when it was #1 in the Nielsen Ratings (one of only three shows to do so, the other two being I Love Lucy in 1957 and Seinfeld in 1998). It spun off two more TV series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. and Mayberry R.F.D., as well as a 1986 reunion television movie, Return to Mayberry.

The Andy Griffith Show had its origin in a February 1960 episode of The Danny Thomas Show in which Danny Williams (Danny Thomas) is arrested by Sheriff Andy Taylor for running a stop sign in Mayberry. Both Frances Bavier and Ron Howard appeared in the episode; Bavier portrayed Henrietta Perkins, a widow being victimized by a shopkeeper, and Howard appeared briefly as Andy's son Opie. The Andy Griffith Show was retooled from this episode and made its debut on October 3, 1960.
