I didn't really watch Andy Griffith growing up, but my husband did. He has recorded most of the episodes and we watch them when there is no better alternative on TV which seems like most of the time. I have become a HUGE fan. It's actually surprising how sophisticated the dialog/humor is considering the time. Really good clean humor too :-)

My Dad hated television and never kept a comment to himself. He said that Andy Griffith was nothing but a hick. Well, yeah, Dad he was! So what? He also hated Ozzie Nelson and said why does he never go to work? My Dad was a quiet man but he sure had no use for TV 
As far as the shows go- I haven't seen them in so long I don't have an answer but they were just cute shows. When I was growing up nothing had to be censored. One of my favs was My Three Sons and I went on to have 3 sons of my own! But luckily I was in the picture to help them grow up lol. I adored that show.

I enjoy the shows, but it has always bothered me that so many of the shows back then featured motherless children. Mothers weren't needed. Andy Griffith, My Three Sons, Bachelor Father, Bonanza, Family Affair, and maybe others.

I liked them all too; I find myself watching a LOT of the 'old' shows (my/our age is showing); Matlock; Perry Mason (was my favorite and he's on 4 times a day here - for now); In The Heat of the Night; All in the Family (SO politically UNcorrect) but such a funny show. I miss the old 'clean' shows that always had a good message; even the Rifleman always had a good moral at the end of the show; seems all of the shows now are just the total opposite. NOT my cup of tea.

I couldn't even tell you what's on TV. We watch MLB ( so we can watch the Yankees) Netflix, and Amazon Prime.
I never have to sit through commercials. I have no use for cable but my husband likes the news so we have it but that's it for cable watching.

Another of my favorites: any episodes with the Darlings. Also, where Andy and Barney go into an empty house to get Opie's baseball. Like I said, I have many favorites.
