Title: A must have for every fan
Review: I was born and raised in Germany and still live there. But in 2007 I got the chance to go to the U.S. for four years to work there for my company.One day I was zapping through the channels and suddenly I stopped because I thought I had just seen "Matlock" as a young man. There he was, Andy Griffith in black and white and sooooo young. I wondered because in Germany he is only known as Matlock, who is grey-haired and old already. The Andy Griffith Show has never been published (aired) in Germany or anywhere in Europe as far as I know. I did't know that Andy Griffith had a career before "Matlock".I was done zapping and watched The Andy Griffith Show for a while and I really liked it. Soon I set up my VCR to record all episodes. I was simply hooked! Of couse I bought all my favorite 5 seasons over Amazon already, I really don' t like the colored ones and I miss Barney there, just isn't the same anymore. I wonder if Don Knotts ever regret to part from the show?I find it amazing that I became such a huge fan, I mean I didn't grow up in the States, I don't know anything about the Sixties and the American lifestyle and mentality back then, but to me it is the most wonderful tv - series for the whole family, a treasure, just timeless! I would move right into Mayberry if I could!My stay in the U.S. was in the South so I got used to the accent very well, however I cannot share my obsession for this tv - show with anyone of my friends or family here in Germany because the Southern accent is just too difficult to understand for them and there is no German language (synchronisation) available and never will be. I understand about 90 % of what they are saying and I wish there would be subtitles available since we don't have CC in Germany. At least then I would be able to read the words that I don't understand and then get the meaning or look them up.So you guys here are the only ones who understand my passion!I bought this DVD only because of the reunion movie, I had never seen it before. Love it!Unfortunately, Andy Griffith died last week, so I guess only Ron Howard is left. '''' R.i.P. Andy Griffith ''''and thanks for hours and hours of your everlasting and never dying work that (now thanks to Paramount) will be in our living rooms as long as we live!.

Title: Great Episodes, Better Special Features
Review: This DVD set has â17 All Time Favorite Episodesâ of The Andy Griffith Show, and I bought it despite already owning all of them on previous season sets. Why? For two simple reasons: the showâs true pilot, which was an episode of The Danny Thomas Show, and the Return to Mayberry TV movie from 1986. In my opinion, these bonus features alone were worth every penny.I remember seeing the Danny Thomas episode long ago on TV, only to never run across it again. Having it now on DVD is a real treat, as this is the true birth of the show. Even though Frances Bavier played a slightly different character from Aunt Bee and Opie was a bit more rambunctious, and Andyâs somewhat more morally ambiguous, itâs a thoroughly entertaining look at the origin of the show.As for the movie, itâs a fantastic nostalgia trip to the wildly successful reunion that was a ratings smash. Most of the characters still living at the time show up, from Gomer and Goober to Barney and Thelma Lou, not to mention Ernest T. Bass, Otis, the Darlings, and Howard Sprague. Youâll also notice several of the familiar faces of former extras and bit players from the show, making the movie a fun way to remember the showâs glory days.Whether you have the regular episodes in this set or not, Iâd advise picking this up if youâre a fan of the show. Having the pilot and reunion movie is wonderful, and Iâm overjoyed they were finally made available. I think they mightâve done better selling this if it had just been released as the movie, with the Danny Thomas episode as a special feature. Rest assured, though, if youâve ever been a fan of The Andy Griffith Show, youâre going to want to have this. Itâs a welcome and much appreciated release.

Title: I grew up with Andy
Review: I was a child of the 1960's and when this series came out I was a toddler and when it went off the air I was 7 years old. I have seen every episode so many times I know them by heart through the decades. I bought all the seasons of the series and the movie too. Many of the reunion DVD's and specials. My favorite character was Miss Crump and I know she wasn't many people's favorite but I loved her and Opie. Aunt Bee and Floyd were crack ups. This series is still on today and shown all over the world, I always stop and watch when it is on TV and every so often pull out my dvd's and go back to a simpler time when life didn't seem so harsh and bad. I always laugh along with Barney, Andy, Goober and Gomer the entire gang brings so much laughter the double dates with Thelma Lou and Helen. Great for the entire family and still holds up today as great quality program. There are not enough stars for this show five is not enough. A lot of the regulars had passed away by the time this movie was made and released but it is still good and brings back so many memories. Wish they had spent more time on Andy, Barney, Thelma Lou and Helen in this one. The girls had little to do in this movie and now everyone is gone except Thelma Lou, Opie and Gomer.

Title: Andy Griffith is Always Great but the Formatting/Setup of these DVD's need to be changed to make them more user friendly
Review: I Love Andy Griffith and these shows are definitely some of the best. However, I did not like that you can not just push play and have all the episodes play one after another. You have to go through a process to select each movie because there are commentaries on each one which are really nice but sometimes you just want to watch the movies all at once and not have to go through so much trouble to do that. Movies are still Great!

Review: All the Cd's with the episodes work and play in our DVD player except the very last one. It won't play in the DVD player no matter what you do, but it will play on my computer.
