This is one of my favorite shows. I have all eight seasons and the 1986 "Return to Mayberry" movie. I like the first five seasons better because they were the best in black and white. I don't think that the colored episodes are any good. They are just stupid. One of my favorite characters is Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife. Another one is Ernest T. Bass. One of my favorite episodes is Season 1, Episode 18, "Andy the Marriage Counselor", where the arguing husband and wife are attending the counseling.
