- Of the 8 seasons of the Andy Griffith Show, there was one Christmas show called "The Christmas Story". This show aired in black and white on Monday, December 19th 1960 on CBS. On December 25th 2015 a colorized version of the show was aired. Here is my blend of bits and pieces of both.

Anyone else cry watching this episode?
aw shucks i was just cuttin onions; ya right...
Everytime. Especially the last part
@@nehrualston5896 yeah, when old Ben has a happy snoot-full! I bet Will Wright was a nice guy.
I did
@@samuelpaul7903 😥❤...but happy tears at old Ben at the end!
Elinore Donahue should never have quit the Andy Griffith show. She was perfect for the show.
Also as beautiful of a woman as it's possible to be.
She left, because she thought the chemistry between her and Andy, was off kilter. It was nothing personal she liked Andy, but she was too uncomfortable working with him.
@@pamelabacker2420 She left because they gave all her lines to Barney.
I watch the Andy Griffith show everyday to escape all of the BS of today.
me too 🥲
Hey me 3! 🤟🏻🕊️
Don't forget Little House on the Prairie, and M.A.S.H., back when TV actually had substance behind, and it wasn't just people being weirdos.
Also ❤️’d that there were lots of other great shows that like, tied in. Green Acres & Petticoat Junction & Gomer Pyle & the Beverly Hillbillies .. probably more but that’s all i can recall right now. Just lately i’m noticing that i see a lot of _Lisa Douglas_ from Green Acres when i watch _Fran Fine_ in the Nanny. Makes sense bc Fran Drescher is a big fan of that era - her character Fran Fine often mentions 60’s sitcoms. lol i’m
way too thrilled when i _ALWAYS_ remember what she’s talking about! .. well at least
_SITCOM WISDOM_
comes with age! ☠️😆
This is undoubtedly the best Christmas episode of any show ever!!! So well written and acted! Truly warms the heart every time I see it!
When I look at this episode, it reminds me of how Christmas USED TO BE when I was growing up. Ah well, at least I have those memories!!!!
The best episode ever! Watch it many times every season. One of the best jobs of colorization I’ve ever seen. 100%
This was one of the greatest shows ever! I watched as child and continue to watch ever night presently! I know every episode!
I love love love this episode. Such a wonderful cast and episodes. This one and Aunt Bea's home-made pickle one are my two favorites. This should be shown every Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day.
@deeann424 - COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!! But I'm afraid ole "Hallmark" has got the "MARKET" cornered on Christmas Shows, or so it seems!!!!
I recall this episode with great fondness...
In memory of my grandpa. Fly high, my angel who I love forever ♾️♥️.
I remember every episode. A part of my life ♡♡♡♡
I absolutely LOVE this Episode. 😢
Andy Griffith show it doesn’t didn’t get any better than this
What a simple time thanks
Yes it was a much much safer and simpler world to live in, the real meaning of Christmas not gifts and presents, sadly times have changed and it's become so commercialized, Christmas decorations are up way before Thanksgiving, sadly you can't say Merry Christmas no more but you have to say happy holidays, you should remember in this country, on paper money says in God we trust, sadly as times change America has forgotten that, probably why we're not the country will used to be!!!
I never understood why Elinor Donahue left the show. Andy Griffith Show was the greatest show ever produced
@BG-su6gx - I've read that Andy felt he was TOO OLD to be dating Elinor, and she also had some PERSONAL PROBLEMS she was trying to work out at the time. But yes, Ms. Donahue ADDED SOOOO MUCH to the Show!!!!
As the other reply indicated, she was going through some personal issues at the time, but she also had expressed frustration that she didn't get a chance to have some funny lines on the show.
It would have been nice to have her stay longer than just the first season, as she's definitely one of the most beautiful women ever, with a smile that's almost incandescent.
You even see her briefly in the movie "Pretty Woman," thirty years after her time on "The Andy Griffith Show" and she was still drop dead gorgeous at that time.
There are even some interviews of her fairly recently, now in her 80s and she's still beautiful.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Elinor Donahue was DEFINITELY a lovely woman!!!! " Drop Dead Gorgeous" might be a stretch, but she was very pretty, no doubt. She was quite the actress, that's for sure. Loved her on "Father Knows Best."
Thats cool. Thanks❤
Best episode
I love this so much
one of the funniest episodes on the show....that old guy doing everything to join the fun....
Love this episode.
Never cared for Andy & Ellie together _BUT_ their duet *_still_* gives me goosebumps🪿💕every single time on this, my
2nd favorite episode
ever! 🤟🏻🕊️
Thanks 'PureMX33" for complying this real treasure from TV yesteryear ...appreciate !!
The first time I saw this episode was about 26 years ago. It made me cry. Loneliness can be a self induced dilemma. The character of Ben has this dilemma. It seems like it hurts him to be civil, much less show humanity.
The show’s writers needed a safe, Mayberry-style Scrooge for the series’ only Christmas episode, so Ben the Curmudgeon got the nod. It’s a sweet, done well…except it was produced when was still playing the backwoods, hayseed & not the savvy savior of Aunt Bea & Barney’s morale.
Excellent coloring job. This was always my favorite TAGS episode. Back in the 1800's in Germany the church organ broke on
Christmas Eve, the reverend worked all night on a new carol that could be done on guitar, which many of his congregation
were able to accompany on with him on Christmas Day. That's where this song came from, look it up.
I have this episode at home .its one of my favorites
Beautiful thak you very much😊
I have never seen Elinor Donahue singing that Christmas song, I have watched all of the episodes at least 4 times
One article says "One warm memory of her time on the show came when they were shooting that first season’s Christmas episode, and she was extremely nervous about singing on camera. “I didn’t sing anymore, so I avoided it like the plague,” she admits. “They wanted me to sing ‘Away in a Manger’ with Andy and I tried to get out of it. My mother said, ‘Oh for heaven’s sake, you sing that in church all the time, you can certainly sing that.’ But I was very, very nervous about it. So at the end of filming one day, we met at a recording studio and he got a key. He could tell I was nervous and said, ‘Just sit down here on the floor and I’ll just noodle around with the guitar and you come in when you feel comfortable and we’ll start. Just a rehearsal.’ We started singing and sang through the whole thing. Then he said, ‘Oh, that was very nice. Very good. Okay, that’s it.’ I said, ‘What?’ He faked me out, because he knew how nervous I was, and that was the take that they used. It was just very sweet.”
I want to go be in that time
Those were the days. ♥️
Such a Beautiful Song about our Loving, accepting, compassionate, and Caring Jesus ❤ 😃😃 0:18
Never seen this episode in color.
❤❤
it's such a shame Elinor Donahue became to ill to continue playing Ellie; she was such a good actress and worked so well with Andy...
While she was hospitalized for a while during the show, she returned and wanted out of her contract. She was just not happy with situation and lack of chemistry. She asked to be released from her 3 year contract (after 12 episodes) and they agreed.
It would have been nice if she had stayed, as she lit up the screen.
Easily one of the five most beautiful women I have ever seen.
With respect to purists, I can't think of a single Christmas movie or episode that didn't look better with a quality colorization. (Well, except for Twilight Zone: The Night of the Meek
Colorized version has pink and blue tinsel on the tree.
People don't put enough tinsel on their tree anymore.
I do 😊
@JENDALL714 - AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!!!! HECK, MOST DON'T EVEN USE TINSEL!!!! But yes, I need to use more on out Tree. It's just such a PAIN TO TAKE OFF!!!
"GOOD EGGNOOOG.."
Are the CBS orchestra playing the flute , violin, and Cello? Or is the Dillards ?
Away in a manger
Is this Andy’s voice? Doesn’t sound like it or is that the old man?
It is his voice. It's just dubbed.
@@breathedeep3208 ok so if it’s his voice how is it dubbed over then?
@@Daniel_B_23 THEY....RECORDED......IT......IN.......A......DIFFERENT.........PLACE........AND.....ADDED........IT........IN. (DUBBED)
Black and white is better
I though it looks great
*That was the OLD America, the one I grew up in. It was better in every way than what came after.*
