@@mahalkita7351I’m 61 and I watch them sometimes before bed. Comforts me for such simpler times and also good moral stories. It’s a unique show. My Sister in law watches EVERYDAY as well as your Sis. Feel good show, I’m sure that’s what It is…❤
I was born in 1963 and I don't think I've missed one day in my life not seeing at least one episode of the Andy Griffith show. I was born on a small farm in Piney Flats Tenn. and I could relate to alot of things that went on in Mayberry. Gosh I sure miss those days and I'll keep watching this show for as long as I possibly can.
I was born in a farming community in Illinois. The show wasn't just about southern living -- we could relate to everything in the show too. I think the show hit home with many (if not most) rural areas in the country.
Never get tired of watching that show. My wife and I watch it every day.especially these days with the world screwed up like it is. It takes you back to a time was simple and fun. It's not surprising that Clint talks about his parents so well. That's how we were raised back then.
Those times were dangerous too. That was during the Cold War with Soviet Russia and Communist China, same as today. Also, the Civil Rights and racial unrest.
@@TyrannosaurusSex you missed the point of my comment. I was a child in the 60's and maybe early 70's when this show was in production. Watching this show takes me back to what was a better time in the life of a child who lived through that time period. Politics and war or threat of war was not a concern for us. Its nostalgic for us. I guess you lived through all of that from ww2. What did those wars have to do with the Andy Griffith show
My aunt took me and my mother to Mt.Airey,Andy G's real hometown on which the Mayberry idea was based,We rode over and saw the house where Andy was raised,It was a Bed&Breakfast at that time.
I'm 66 years old and I'm still watching the to this day!. Those were the good old days of TV!, those shows had good morals and ethics!, no grotesque killings teaching our kids bad things!. This was the best show on television!.
Your god promoted human slavery and human sacrifice and countless genocides in the bible. I don't find any morals in that rag. The bible does make excellent firewood though.
He and Andy played off each other SO well - both comedically and dramatically. The emotions could be very real sometimes, in episodes where Opie had to face decisions on his own.
Ron Howard is 2 mos. Older than me. I loved the episode when the Old man, school principal didn't want a modern RocknRoll school play... Teacher Helen Crump to the rescue !!!! They did a musical play about music eras from the roaring 20's, (the Principal's era!) to the 1960''s !!! They had 40's & 50's 🎶🎶🎶!! Anyway, the principal got the message !!! 💗💗💗
I am about 2 years older than Ron Howard, so we are contemporaries. I lived in a small farm town in Northern California for some years as a kid in the early 1960s and it was just like Mayberry. You knew almost everyone in town and parents looked out for all the kids, not just their own. Cars were left unlocked, bikes left in the front yards, and nothing was stolen. Those were great times. I loved living in Winters, California and I loved the Andy Griffith Show
When I was a kid I used to watch Gentle Ben every week. I think that it was on Sunday night. Clint and Dennis Weaver were in that show. Always wanted one of those air boats that Dennis tooled around in!
Rance Howard and his wife were incredible child star parents - prepared their children for stage work and knew the business. They are an incredible "Hollywood" family! What a wonderful legacy! And Andy Griffith was a genius knowing how to surround himself with the best talent.
Guys, YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Loved this show as a child. My mom died when I was 6 and my Dad raised us (2 boys and a girl). We all lived in my grandmothers house, so this show resonated with me bigtime. The way that Opie looked up to Andy is the way that I felt about my Dad. Such a great show.
Still watch Andy Griffith as often as I can. If I need to relax, turn in Andy. Memories of simpler, happy times growing up. This continues to be my favorite show of all time.
It's on every day by me for several hours. It doesn't work for me anymore. But anyone who grew up around that time should be saddened were we are now. I grew up in NJ and had a Mark Twain childhood.
I really like the episodes, that are in black and white best. There are several that I can watch over and over, throughout the year. The spoiled rotten kid with his new bicycle; the time that the ‘guys’ lived alone, while Aunt Bee was away; the female prisoners up in that cabin and Floyd and Barney are their prisoners; the ‘Mr. Scrooge’ old store owner, who keeps trying to be arrested in order to have CHX with the other; when Aunt Bee arrives to take care of Opie (and Andy) and he wants the his newly married sitter to stay; when Opie sneaks in to the elderly ladies potting shed, for extra special flowers - - near the still; and so many others.
I love this show, my mom got me into it when I was very little. I’m 36 now and my 9 year old son loves it. Don Knotts and Andy Griffith are some of the classiest, funniest actors.
it's nice to hear child actors say good things about their parents. So many are screwed up by the time they reach adulthood. A tribute to their parents.

Still watch tonight @ 67 years of age. Two episodes starting @ 7:00 pm weekdays on MeTV. Barney was one of my favorites. Gomer, Goober, Opie, Aunt Bea, Floyd, Helen, etc. Otis T. Bass made me laugh every time. 😎👍🙏❤️
Every time I saw Clint on his fathers shoulders, I see the love he has for his father. Love everyone on this show. I’ve binged it numerous times over the decades. Yeah, I’m that old.
Thank you for sharing this I love The Andy Griffith Show I watched you three times a day and if I miss it up out my DVDs then I have Andy Griffin t-shirt I recently tried to start a Andy Griffin fan club here in Evansville Indiana it started the year I was born but I absolutely love it and I never get tired of the reruns
Love you Clint. You and Ron were always so talented. I grew up with you guys. Kinda seems like we're family. I always loved everything I seen you do. Stay well, brother.
Yeah, it’s funny he mentioned the canned food. I grew up in SoCal as well, with a huge garden and we still ate canned vegetables almost all the time even if we had canned them ourselves. It was just normal. No, it wasn’t great but it was okay.
@Russell Collier : 😢 it’s very sad that some had rotten families. Shirley Temple’s parents spent all that money that she made, didn’t even put some away for when she became an adult. Patty Duke’s mother signed her over - - to that couple who worked her half to death and took a large fee, from what she earned. I’ve read the book, where she talks about that couple and that she had wanted to keep her real fist name - - Anna.
I still watch the reruns of the Andy Griffith show on ME TV. Also watched the show growing up back in the 1960s. What I liked about it was that it was funny and just a good wholesome TV. Show And that's when they had very good writers. Plus I loved all the characters on the show. And good ole Barney, and his one bullet which was in his pocket ☘️
I've watched all the episodes more than once and still watch now, so I do like it obviously, but I never was a fan of Aunt Bee. Just didn't care for her character at all.
You said it all about having the many characters on the show. The characters all had things about them you could count on and relate to. No smart ass kids, no profanity, just great writing, editing, directing and acting.
R I P to the cast and crew of our favorite town Mayberry that made such a huge contribution to our lives working on this show, so many are gone now but we appreciate the great show i grew up with and watched every time i could, all of you are missed very much, nice to see Clint Howard sharing his memories of the behind the scenes.
I watched the show as a kid and still watch it. NOBODY was ever more generous with their peanut butter and jam sandwiches than Leon. A true cowboy with a big heart, where actions said so much more than words could ever say. ❤ For the record, I fell hard for "Peggy" when she and Andy sang that love song sitting on the porch of the house. 😢 What a beautiful woman.. 💘
Heart warming. This is what made America great. Great actors, very decent people, good values, and they still managed to have a great time. They set good examples for American society. This was truly the golden age of America.
That is except for a married Andy sneaking off to a hotel on occasion with Aneta, the woman who was, according to Daniel de Vice in his book Andy and Don, the love of his life. There was a lot more that wasn't Mayberry- wholesome as well, such as the fact that Andy and Don drank quite a bit. We're dealing with fantasy here, but it was good fantasy.
@leo, I’m sure some of that may even be true. Being human means being flawed. The themes back then strived to put forward a positive message, a message of hope. Today, we can’t even define the difference between a man and women. The norm is to call good, bad and bad we accept as good. No, I will take those days any day of the week. At least they tried. We’ve given up.
I grew up with this wonderful show and all these wonderful characters that I still watch today. It gives me such a warm nurturing feeling to look back, and remember all the wonderful times watching this show at my Grandparents.
Thank you Clint for doing this, this country needs this more than you know, or maybe you do, i grew up watching you and your brother and believe me it sticks with a person to see value's as a child growing up in the 60's i never thought our world would be going through the mess it is now i subscribed and hit the like button because i know it helps me to deal with whats going on in the world to go back to the time when it was good and i mean people actually had values and morals, thanks my friend.
Great insights from Clint and it’s clear that Rance Howard was an exceptional man who influenced the relationship between Opie and Andy and Andy Griffith appreciated his input. Still one of the best shows ever produced and there were so many valuable lessons on parenting that are needed today more than ever.
Ron and Clint turned out so well because of their parents. I read all of their childhood earnings were protected for them by their parents. As Paul Peterson of A Minor Consideration said … “kid performers should choose their parents well”!
Ran into Clint a couple times at N. Hollywood Park around '80/'81. After introducing myself, I joined him in a little fencing, slinging the epees around! I had no idea what I was doing, not being familiar at all with fencing (at 25). Nice guy, certainly, and I couldn't help but tell him I must've seen "Rock'n'Roll High School" (where he played Mr. Eaglebauer) two dozen times a couple years earlier (I had come to know the Ramones fairly well, and took friends to see it)!
What wonderful memories I have of Mayberry!! I was just a kid, but I chose Andy Griffith to be my husband when I grew up!!! The whole cast are a part of my childhood and heart!!
@@rosezingleman5007 That's a good way to describe it! I feel like watching it is a way to temporarily escape the crazy times that we are now living!! Also, Amazon sells the complete series of Andy Griffith, and also sell each season...they run between $10-12 each!
Thanks for such a great interview and wonderful behind-the-scenes footage of this iconic show. Always thought little Leon was too cute offering up his sandwiches in his cowboy hat. Really too bad that the 40-acres Backlot in Culver City where they filmed TAGS, Hogans Heroes, and many other of the sitcoms of the day was not preserved as a driving tour for posterity. How amazing it would be to be able to drive in front of Andy's home or the Courthouse today - that alone would be worth the price of admission!
Oh my goodness this show was and still is the absolute Best ever made I never ever tire of watching it every day! Genius actors! Thank You so much for sharing this!! Bless you Clint!
This was like watching home movies of family. Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, Ron Howard, and Jim Neighbors, were people that came to our house every day for years. Ron helping Clint up into the trailer was precious. In listening to Clint Howard, I could hear shades of Ron in his voice, and at times, he sounded just like his brother, Ron.
Thank you so much Clint. I absolutely love seeing the home movies you have from the Andy Griffith Show. We still watch the show every day. We all grew up in a nice wholesome time.
I never get tired of Andy Griffith episodes, no matter how many times I’ve seen them. Also something about seeing the behind the scenes in color makes it feel so strange. Black and White Tv shows have a whole different vibe that makes you feel so warm. It’s the classics.
Thank you Clint and Ron for sharing tales about your childhood and young adult lives. I was greatly inspired by your stories, while I was in a very dark time. You are truly making a difference in people's lives by just being you. Thank you.
I absolutely love this video!! I’ve grown up watching this show, and my parents, siblings, and I can quote it to one another in a heartbeat. It’s such a joy to see behind the scenes footage of figures I’ve grown up watching - Barney, Gomer, Opie, Thelma Lou, Aunt Bee, and of course Andy. I loved seeing them prep for one of my family’s favorite scenes - when they take Barney’s “new” car for a drive. This video brought me such joy, like seeing home videos of lifelong friends ❤

I’m 59 and my 86-year old mother and I watch the show most nights. It’s heaven.
This show is very comforting almost like you know the characters personally. I watch it every night and it is very calming!
Watching the Andy Griffith Show is like taking a step back into “Innocence”…We all wanted to live there…
Here's to Mr. & Mrs. Howard, they raised a couple of great guys.
Get their book-it’s terrific!
Not sure I agree with Clints politics. Ron went the other way politically. Ron was for sure more likeable Clint he became an addict sadly.
@@cheri7054 Who cares if you don't agree with his politics. This isn't communist China.

Yeah, I wish Andy was president, Aunt B Vice Prez, Barney as Sec of Defense, Floyd could run the CIA.
Amazing how old tv shows are still valued and treasured.
Classics don’t die, they just become more classic.
I never get tired of watching Andy Griffith show I love all the Old show
"Old school" that never goes out of style!👍
I still watch the show til this day. I'm 58 and so refreshing to watch a show about a simpler time.
I always, and still do, wish I could live in Andy's Mayberry. It's the America that is now and forever GONE
My aunt took me and my mother to Mt.Airey,Andy G's real hometown on which the Mayberry idea was based,We rode over and saw the house where Andy was raised,It was a Bed&Breakfast at that time.
I too would have loved to live there, wishing there was Andy & Opie Taylor, the barber gas station attendant so on
I agree. I remember when I was very young, I lived in a Mayberry-like town. That does not exist anymore.
I'm 66 years old and I'm still watching the to this day!. Those were the good old days of TV!, those shows had good morals and ethics!, no grotesque killings teaching our kids bad things!. This was the best show on television!.
I liked that the show included going to church on Sundays, praying to God & Jesus, including The Holy Bible and promoting good morals
Your god promoted human slavery and human sacrifice and countless genocides in the bible. I don't find any morals in that rag. The bible does make excellent firewood though.
i love old shows like this i am 52 and still love old ones
Ron Howard was just phenomenal as Opie; so very natural was he!
He and Andy played off each other SO well - both comedically and dramatically. The emotions could be very real sometimes, in episodes where Opie had to face decisions on his own.
@@robvangessel3766 look at Thelma Lou and Helen crump in this clip. Man, they were pretty hot
He wasn't "acting", the way some child actors do. He was as cute as he could be and also very believable at the same time.
Rons and Andys ears "matched"
They could be believable as father/son
Ron Howard is 2 mos. Older than me. I loved the episode when the Old man, school principal didn't want a modern RocknRoll school play...
Teacher Helen Crump to the rescue !!!! They did a musical play about music eras from the roaring 20's, (the Principal's era!) to the 1960''s !!! They had 40's & 50's 🎶🎶🎶!! Anyway, the principal got the message !!! 💗💗💗
Best sitcom with a moral compass!
And no disrespectful, smart azz kids.
Very wholesome,I'd put Mary Tyler Moore up there in terms of success & enjoyment..

Cliff was on GENTLE BEN
@@hollyb6885 Jackie cooper went from Little Rascals, with Miss Crabtree, to Perry White of superman
It was like ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE
it did better in reruns
Andy said it was a 1930s show shot in the 1960s. It stayed away from social issues and drama which is why it has aged so well.
I am about 2 years older than Ron Howard, so we are contemporaries. I lived in a small farm town in Northern California for some years as a kid in the early 1960s and it was just like Mayberry. You knew almost everyone in town and parents looked out for all the kids, not just their own. Cars were left unlocked, bikes left in the front yards, and nothing was stolen. Those were great times. I loved living in Winters, California and I loved the Andy Griffith Show
When I was a kid I used to watch Gentle Ben every week. I think that it was on Sunday night. Clint and Dennis Weaver were in that show. Always wanted one of those air boats that Dennis tooled around in!
Rance Howard and his wife were incredible child star parents - prepared their children for stage work and knew the business. They are an incredible "Hollywood" family! What a wonderful legacy! And Andy Griffith was a genius knowing how to surround himself with the best talent.
Ron learned so much from those men. And Clint and Ron got to do this show and be with their family too.
Best show ever created, absolutely an American classic. I still to this day watch it when I'm feeling down again and again to lift my spirits
Always amazed at how many people it took to create a half hour show . And the Andy Griffith show was THE best ever created .
Really?? the best?? ever?? ok...

Love this show. I've been watching it for over 40 years. It never gets old.
What a wonderful era. Grew up on the set with his brother and parents

I just adored Jim Nabors. He had such a sweet aura to him.
Still watch Andy Griffith as often as I can. If I need to relax, turn in Andy. Memories of simpler, happy times growing up.
This continues to be my favorite show of all time.
Absolutely my all-time favorite show. Even now. Nothing compares to the long-lasting brilliance of The Andy Griffith Show.
I watch the andy Griffith show over and over never gets old. Just a real hometown setting.
It's on every day by me for several hours. It doesn't work for me anymore. But anyone who grew up around that time should be saddened were we are now. I grew up in NJ and had a Mark Twain childhood.

Always enjoyed The Andy Griffith Show. Rance Howard was a looker in his younger days!
When you think about how much went into each episode, and how many episodes they did, it is truly amazing.
I love this show, my mom got me into it when I was very little. I’m 36 now and my 9 year old son loves it. Don Knotts and Andy Griffith are some of the classiest, funniest actors.
I am still watching it today. What a wholesome family show.
A few years back,My Father's church showed an episode of Mayberry once a week in the Sanctuary,There was always a moral message.
This show was and is God's gift to us all.. if only people would really watch it with their hearts.. thanks Andy and all the gang .
I remember watching Clint Howard on Gentle Ben,also.Such An Interesting show & So entertaining for kids.
Best show ever.i watch it every night I never get tired of it.
I still watch that show to this day...and always will it's a part of my life.
it's nice to hear child actors say good things about their parents. So many are screwed up by the time they reach adulthood. A tribute to their parents.
Adulthood their screwed up by the time there 14
Still the best show ever! There was a lesson in every episode. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much Clint , you are part of my favorite show of all times , Mayberry is the way I wish it truly was in our country right now.

Love this show, still watch it today.
Thank you Clint for doing this, this country needs this more than you know, or maybe you do, i grew up watching you and your brother and believe me it sticks with a person to see value's as a child growing up in the 60's i never thought our world would be going through the mess it is now i subscribed and hit the like button because i know it helps me to deal with whats going on in the world to go back to the time when it was good and i mean people actually had values and morals, thanks my friend.
It was nice to see Clint acting with his brother Ronny
Nice to hear good family memories. Helps those of us without them
I'll never forget how cute it was when little "Leon" offered Barney a bite of his sandwich 😂😊❤
Great insights from Clint and it’s clear that Rance Howard was an exceptional man who influenced the relationship between Opie and Andy and Andy Griffith appreciated his input. Still one of the best shows ever produced and there were so many valuable lessons on parenting that are needed today more than ever.
Ron and Clint turned out so well because of their parents. I read all of their childhood earnings were protected for them by their parents. As Paul Peterson of A Minor Consideration said … “kid performers should choose their parents well”!
Ron and Clint’s parents are what Macaulay Culkin’s and the others who suffered under stardom at such a young age needed.
That was a real treat! I am reading, "The Boys" and loving it! Thanks for sharing, Clint!
Me too!
A fascinating book. Lots of great anecdotes.

My favorite show! Thank you, Clint. I'll eat a peanut butter sandwich in your honor.
I'm reading it, too, and I'm so glad I heard the boys talking about it on Rob Lowe's podcast. What a great book. Love those Howard brothers.
These behind the scenes videos are priceless. The best.
Clint had such a easy part he didn't have to say anything. Just offer people his peanut butter and jelly sandwich
He was so adorable eating that sandwich!
I also got a kick when I saw Leon, he always had a sandwich he wanted to share. Great show! 👍
Ran into Clint a couple times at N. Hollywood Park around '80/'81. After introducing myself, I joined him in a little fencing, slinging the epees around! I had no idea what I was doing, not being familiar at all with fencing (at 25).
Nice guy, certainly, and I couldn't help but tell him I must've seen "Rock'n'Roll High School" (where he played Mr. Eaglebauer) two dozen times a couple years earlier (I had come to know the Ramones fairly well, and took friends to see it)!
He was a wee boy, what do want, Shakespeare?
No thank you Leon.
What wonderful memories I have of Mayberry!! I was just a kid, but I chose Andy Griffith to be my husband when I grew up!!! The whole cast are a part of my childhood and heart!!
What a wonderful show. Andy would show people how to be a good person in the most gentle loving way. Very special.
That show.one.of the BEST EVER💯❤👍thanks Clint for the behind the scenes memories ❤👍
Love this!! Thank you for sharing
Such wonderful footage! Thanks Clint! This is still one of my All-Time favorite shows and I never tire watching it!
Since Andy Griffith is no longer on Netflix, and recently not free on Prime, I am buying the videos of it. I can watch it forever!! Love it!!
@@pattymiller9040 I’ve been thinking of buying them too. I think a lot of us see that show as an extended family for all of America.
@@rosezingleman5007 That's a good way to describe it! I feel like watching it is a way to temporarily escape the crazy times that we are now living!! Also, Amazon sells the complete series of Andy Griffith, and also sell each season...they run between $10-12 each!
Barney w/ his one bullet & deputizing Gomer.citizens arrest lol
Swinging bat and Ron's head! You guys had a lot of fun.
Great clip on the history, I grew up watching this and other classic shows.
Anything about this great timeless show is a treat to me. Thanks. I want to see them all.
Yes, and it's too bad that most of them have past on.
So fun to see your dad so young. My parents were friends with yours.
Awesome from the Mayberry landmarks and unforgettable atmosphere of the lesson-keeping program.🎯🎣📺☀️ Stay safe everyone!
That show was special! Especially some of the first episodes. Just unique.
And hilarious!! Oppie was gona hit the groom in the head with a whole box of rice!!!You not taking my nanny !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Best show ever still watch it every day
Thanks for such a great interview and wonderful behind-the-scenes footage of this iconic show. Always thought little Leon was too cute offering up his sandwiches in his cowboy hat. Really too bad that the 40-acres Backlot in Culver City where they filmed TAGS, Hogans Heroes, and many other of the sitcoms of the day was not preserved as a driving tour for posterity. How amazing it would be to be able to drive in front of Andy's home or the Courthouse today - that alone would be worth the price of admission!
Oh my goodness this show was and still is the absolute Best ever made I never ever tire of watching it every day! Genius actors!
Thank You so much for sharing this!! Bless you Clint!
This was like watching home movies of family. Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, Ron Howard, and Jim Neighbors, were people that came to our house every day for years. Ron helping Clint up into the trailer was precious. In listening to Clint Howard, I could hear shades of Ron in his voice, and at times, he sounded just like his brother, Ron.
@nancypatricia - It's Jim Nabors. :)
Thank you so much Clint. I absolutely love seeing the home movies you have from the Andy Griffith Show. We still watch the show every day. We all grew up in a nice wholesome time.
Love the show still watch it after all those years 👍😎🇺🇸
I never get tired of Andy Griffith episodes, no matter how many times I’ve seen them. Also something about seeing the behind the scenes in color makes it feel so strange. Black and White Tv shows have a whole different vibe that makes you feel so warm. It’s the classics.
So glad that I got to grow up with this show!…. The best
Cool to see he relishes his memories of the show as much as I.
I always liked it when Clint showed up as "Leon." He was so cute!
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
This is awesome, an absolute treasure! I love the book The Boys. About 1/4 left to go.
Love this show. Watch it everyday.
Thank you Clint and Ron for sharing tales about your childhood and young adult lives. I was greatly inspired by your stories, while I was in a very dark time. You are truly making a difference in people's lives by just being you. Thank you.
Yes. I just finished "The Boys" and found myself wanting to learn more.
I absolutely love this video!! I’ve grown up watching this show, and my parents, siblings, and I can quote it to one another in a heartbeat. It’s such a joy to see behind the scenes footage of figures I’ve grown up watching - Barney, Gomer, Opie, Thelma Lou, Aunt Bee, and of course Andy. I loved seeing them prep for one of my family’s favorite scenes - when they take Barney’s “new” car for a drive. This video brought me such joy, like seeing home videos of lifelong friends ❤
No cliche, ":Thanks for the memories " .Really enjoyed your dad's home movies. Best to the Howard family and everyone else ♡
Thanks Clint and runny, your dad Rance and mom raised two fine boys ! !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just love this stuff, just got done watching the show, a real highlight to my day.
