DVD Reviews of The Andy Griffith Show - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: One of the timeless tv comedies
Summary: 4 Stars
I will not try to discribe the characters, I doubt there is anyone in the country that has not seen the show at least a few times.
The best comedy is simply exaggerated real life. And that is exactly what this is, the stories that you would find in any small
town blown out of proportion just enough to make them funny.
The series is charming and funny. And gets better as it goes along. I`m giving the 1st season 4 stars instead of 5 because in
the 1st season they struggled a bit to find their footing. But by the 2nd season they had hit their stride, knew exactly where
they were going with the show, and went full steam ahead and into classic tv history.
These shows are just as funny today as the were nearly 50 years ago.
DVD Review: Best TV show ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good all round season. I would probably say this is Opie and Aunt Bee's best season. Andy is more hillbilly-ish than in any other season but he still does a pretty good job in this season. Barney is absolutely hilarious in "Barney Gets His Man" This is probably one of my favorite episodes on this season. Andy's first girlfriend is on this season. Her name is Ellie. Although funny at times I don't really like her that well overall. One thing that is weird is that there are two different Floyd the Barber's. In the first two episodes with Floyd in them he is a really old guy but, after that it's the Floyd that we've all come to know and love.
If you want a good quality show that you'll really laugh at this would be an excellent choice.
DVD Review: Good, clean humor
Summary: 5 Stars
There aren't any good, clean TV shows nowadays like the ones I grew up on. Andy Griffith is one of those good ones. I highly recommend it if you are sick and tired of the junk that is trying to pass itself off today as good comedy.DVD Review: Great Product, Great Arrival Time
Summary: 5 Stars
I just put in an order for every season on the 15th of February, the Items shipped a day later, and arrived at an overseas military address in less than two weeks....Excellent in that regard. I've watched this show for 20+ years through syndication, but already in the first season, I've come across episodes I've never seen before...If you like the Andy Griffith Show, purchase this product.DVD Review: good old tv
Summary: 5 Stars
my wife and I love to watch this clasic show with our 4 year old its relaxing and has good ethics.
Description of The Andy Griffith Show - The Complete First Season
THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW - THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON, a spin-off from "The Danny Thomas Show," is a comedy about a North Carolina widower named Andy Taylor who divides his time between raising his son, Opie (Ron Howard) and being sheriff of the small and virtually crime-free town of Mayberry. With next to no crimes to solve, Andy spends time philosophizing and trying to calm down his cousin, Deputy Barney, played by Don Knotts.Since its network debut in 1960, The Andy Griffith Show has been a viewer favorite thanks to its folksy, nostalgic charm and memorable cast, both of which shine in this set featuring the series' debut season. Originally spun off from an episode of Make Room for Daddy (both series shared producers Sheldon Leonard and Danny Thomas), The Andy Griffith Show centered around the lives of small-town sheriff Andy Taylor (the marvelously dry Griffith), his son Opie (Ron Howard), cousin and deputy Barney Fife (multiple Emmy winner Don Knotts), and the other gentle eccentrics of Mayberry (which was based on Griffith's real hometown). But while other "rural" programs poked fun at its characters (The Real McCoys, The Beverly Hillbillies), The Andy Griffith Show never stooped to stereotypes, preferring instead to draw its humor from the fine writing and cast, which counted Frances Bavier as Aunt Bee, Howard McNear as Floyd the Barber, and Hal Campbell as Mayberry's benevolent drunk, Otis, among the first season ensemble. All 32 episodes (including the epilogues, which are rarely aired in syndication) are compiled on this four-disc set, which regrettably lacks any supplemental features. --Paul Gaita
