Andy Griffith turns 80!
June 1st is Andy Griffith’s 80th birthday. The Archive of American Television is proud to feature our two-hour interview with Griffith, which took place in North Carolina.
In his interview, Griffith recalls how his Broadway debut in "No Time for Sergeants" led to appearances on live television shows, including The U.S. Steel Hour, The Steve Allen Show, and Playhouse 90. He fondly remembers his long association with producer Sheldon Leonard, including the creation and run of The Andy Griffith Show.

I can't decide which I prefer, the silliness of Gomer yelling "Citizen's Arrest!" as he taunts Barney, or the sweetness of Opie as he becomes a surrogate mother to Winkin, Blinkin, and Nod. They're both great.
I love "The Pickle Story"— an all-time classic "griffith" but for number of laughs would go with "Convicts-at-Large."
Mine is "Convicts-At-Large" -- just for Floyd-at-gunpoint's great "We're home!" line.
Don't know what it's called, but it's the one where Barney tries to rescue Andy and his girl from a cave.
Barney's Sidecar
None of them -- don't like the show. But your blog is really great.
Barney's Sidecar for sure
Man in a Hurry, it oozed what Mayberry was about.
"Opie the Birdman" even though I always cry
Citizens Arrest
"The Pickle Story" - a classic
Opie the Birdman
"Barney's Sidecar" is my all time favorite. I also just watched the Don Knotts interview on your site and it's fantastic and beyond thorough.
I love them ALL!
My Fair Ernest T Bass. When will you have more interviews with Griffith people on line?
Pickle Story
How come nobody voted for "Dogs Dogs Dogs"??????? That's my favorite.
Citizen's Arrest
