@@FactsVerse I looked thru ur playlist & wow, I have a lot to watch still! I'll let u know if there's anything else, but seems u guys have all the best shows already! Amazing...
So many great episodes, it's hard to pick a favorite one. The ones with Barney and Otis fighting are always fun. Opie was an amazing little actor. You have to marvel at the seamless, flowing dialogue as the kid interacts with everyone onset. Floyd the barber was just wonderful. The episode 'The manicurist' with guest star Barbara Eden was one of my favorites. 'Ring a ding ding'. Barney gets so flustered being talked to by a pretty girl visiting Floyd's shop to inquire about employment, he runs out of the barber shop into the street, almost getting run over by a car!
I have so much respect for the actress who played Aunt Bea it was a wholesome show and with children on the set she was right dirty language needed be spoken. She was a true lady! God bless you Francis Bavier, you were brought up in a time when most ladies acted like ladies.😍
Really amazes me that in the 5 years between the time Andy told Knotts (and cast) that he only wanted to do 5 years of TAGs, NO ONE thought to touch base, oh, I don't know......around the 3rd or 4th year, to see if Andy might want to take the show longer? Instead, Knotts just goes off and signs a picture deal with Universal, and then is surprised Andy may have changed his mind sometime in the 5th year about extending the series? Amazing. Take 10 seconds between set changes or at the craft service table to check in: "Say Andj.....still gonna call it quits after 5?" If only there had been e-mail then.
I grew up watching the show my grandma absolutely loved Andy Griffith. One thing you didn't mention was Aunt B well she wasn't a very likeable woman & she lived her later years alone except for all the cats she had she wouldn't talk to any of her neighbors & stayed to herself & wouldn't leave her home at all
@ 7:00 - Don Knotts did not win an Academy Award for his work on The Andy Griffith Show. It was an EMMY. In fact, he won five Emmys, for his work as Barney Fife. Get your facts straight, Facts Verse!
You know how you said that Aunt Bee was prim and proper in most episodes. Well I like the one where Aunt Bee got drunk on the Indian exlixer. That was good acting on Francis’ part.
Here's another fact that most people didn't know,....during the show's opening title, when Andy and Opie are walking down the road to the lake, Opie picks up a rock and throws it into the water. However, it was a production assistant off camera who really threw the rock as little Ronnie couldn't toss a rock that far.
@@FactsVerse . the background sound was a little loud in some parts. I had to replay the part about aunt be actresses on deathbed part several times to hear it.

@@covidisaconfirmedscam1325 The guy who says in the beginning of the show "The Andy Griffith Show" is the game warden in the episode where Andy forgets his fishing license.
WRONG Ricky N. 2:30. The Brady's fraternal mother was mentioned once only not my name. Bobby put a formerly displayed picture of his mom away but Mike told him to never forget his mother (though the picture never shows up again). Then Bobby says, "...I didn't want to disappoint my new mom!" This is in the pilot episode. Very tender moment. For .Mrs Brady, she only says, "A few months ago I thought it was the end" Though some idiot read into the situation saying she was divorced but they have no evidence to support that notion. Neither was it important to the series. Another sweet moment was when Bobby feels left out by receiving hand-me-downs and starts to run away and Carol meets him at the bottom of the stairs with her suit case and realizes she cares for him. Bobby says, "even though I am only a step?" Carol turns him around and says, "The ONLY steps in this house are those (pointing to the stairs)." The first season had many touching moments. THAT would be an excellent video for you to do. If you use the idea, just get me the first season on DVD I REALLY do appreciate your great work from this great era of television! Thanks Rick!
I remember one episode of the show that took place in the back of a small supermarket. On this back wall, there was a dial pay phone. Strange because Mayberry's phones were served on a manual exchange. When Andy is in his sheriff's office and makes a phone call, he would pick up the old styled upright candlestick on his desk and tells Sarah(the operator) the party he wanted to call. Rarely used phone numbers.
The guy that married Opie's first housekeeper was Mr. Foley. Opie's friend Johnny Paul Jason became Little Ricky on the I Love Lucy show. JPJ was an accomplished drummer and went on to be in a very popular Christian rock band.
One thing I learned recently was that Desilu owned both the Cahuenga Studios (where Gone with The Wind, TAGS were taped) as well as the Forty Acres backlot where Gomer Pyle USMC and Hogan's Heroes and the Untouchables among others were taped. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz had quite the empire going and another interesting tidbit the 1980's sitcom The Golden Girls was taped at Cahuenga Studios (by that time renamed Renmar Studios) and Renmar also stood in as Maroon Cartoons in the 1988 Touchstone film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Andy met Barney on "No Time for Sergeants" and they became fast friends. When Don found out about r AGS he called Andy and said, "You'll need a deputy" and THE REST is history!!! 2:45
Have to add that Don Knotts signed his film contract with Disney, not Universal. Had several successful films for them including "The Ghost & Mr. Chicken", "The Incredible Mr. Limpet", "The Reluctant Astronaut" and a large co-starring turn in "The Love Bug". He won two or three of his Emmys for guest appearances on TAGS that he made after leaving the series. Research, especially for series as well known as TAGS, needs to be tighter Facts Verse.
Andy said on an interview that he did not like the tone of one of the original people helping with the first filmings because he was to hard on Aunt Bee and Andy asked for him to be removed and they did. So he wanted Francis to be comfortable. So it must have been her causing the disagreements between them. Glad she tried to reach out to him before she passed.
Mr Simms who was going to buy Andy's house was also the clerk at the hardware store (canning jars for Aunt Bea). Who was the previous sheriff? Who owned Andy's house previously?
Actor Mike Steen played a police sergeant in 3 different episodes. The manhunt, Barney gets his man and the gentleman crook.Ken Lynch played Captain Barker also in 2 other B/W episodes as FBI and State Bureau of Investigations agent.
Very interesting. I think you mean Don Knotts won several Emmys for best supporting actor, as he never won an Oscar. Andy was an absolutely brilliant actor, as his almost frightening performance proves in “A Face in the Crowd,” an eerily prescient film that still holds up today.
You didn't mention the short lived sequel, "The NEW AGS" . Also, Rick the volume of the clips was a tad loud interfering with your excellent commtary. It was a bit annoying to have your voice almost got overpowered by the sound track
I love spotting Tom Jacobs (Danny Thomas' brother) who made cameos in practically every episode as a townsperson and only ever had ONE speaking line. He was sometimes seen with "Nellie" another townsperson like they were a couple. He was a bulldozer driver in an episode and several other roles.
The little boy that was dressed like a cowboy and had a pbj sandwich "Leon" was Opie's real brother. Opie's real dad Rance Howard also appeared in 3 or 4 episodes
Mom was always on the set, as well. I think she made it on set as an extra from time to time. Ron's bro, Clint, played Leon. Rance even had lines in at least one ep: The governor's driver! Fun fact: Round about 1980 or '81, I ran into Clint on several occasions at N. Hollywood Park. He was there practicing fencing, of all things! I knew nothing about the sport, but he nonetheless showed me some moves with a foil. I told him I saw "Rock'n'Roll High School" several times. He played Mr. Eaglebauer in that Ramones movie!
The announcer says that DON Knotts won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a series. I'm sure he meant the five Emmy Awards he won for the Andy Griffith Show.
As great as the Barney Fife character was, the show did not suffer after Don Knotts left. In fact, it was the #1 rated show during the eighth and final season.
It wasn't that the episodes after Don left were bad, they just weren't as good as the first 5 seasons. This wasn't entirely because of Don's absence but the writing wasn't as good either.
Capital punishment was endorsed in the show - at least 4 times "get a whippin" was mentioned and even the rich kid with the bike got whipped by his dad in the wood shed out back of the jail. Even Andy asked Opie "don't you think he deserves it?"
Andy Griffith nit winning any awards for the show reminds my of Philcha Rashad on the Cosby show. She never won either even though she was a top notch supporting actor. She kept the family on the show going!
What are you talking about Mayberry RFD? It was very very very popular. The only reason why it lasted three seasons was the rural purge of 1971. God damn, nobody fucking researches these shows
An actor can actually refuse to be nominated for an Emmy Award and at times office politics of sorts takes hold and it's why just one actor gets nominated year after year where others are ignored often thru its entire run. Yet there's also the phenomenon were a series/actor gets nominated/wins early on but it's as if they no longer exist afterwards as nomination usually go towards newer or other shows even on the same network. However once Cable/Streaming was allowed to be nominated Broadcast Networks who often have a 10+/1 more hours than them have been ignored completely altogether which largely makes Emmy Awards meaningless. indeed Julia Louis Dreyfus was a perennial winner year after year on the profanity laced show Veep and won a Best Actress in Comdy once for it when it hadn't aired for over nearly a year and half because an Emmy rules allow a nomination to carry over for more than that year. But there's been quite a lot of payback towards ignoring Broadcast Networks series since the rules were changed and Emmy Awards viewership has foundered along with it reputations as a recognition of excellence in TV. Since the more explicit and often only violent content of Cable/Streaming seem to be only what's recognized many no longer care what's been nominated or who won a year later after its broadcast. Sadly the Academy Awards are about to make the same mistake by allowing streaming film etc. to be considered and like the Emmys in today s world where once it seen its already forgotten on the Web. In the fickle world where you already know within minutes after the entire plot even months before cueing it up on a device yourself watching when it's released because it's been sorted/dissected/judged more by those who haven't seen it than those who do..
I knew all those things and more. I can even pronounce Frances Bavier's name, you can't. Maybe you should have found out the pronunciation before you narrated this video!
Wrong - "Facts" Verse- You stated that when Andy met Don Knotts he decided that he (Andy) needed to be the straight man. They had met and worked together before on the movie "No Time For Sergent's." See interviews with Andy. It was after they shot a few episodes of TAGS that Andy decided it was best if he played straight man. Also, Bah' Vee A is the way Bavier (Frances Bavier) is pronounced. Get your facts straight, "Facts" Verse.
Good call. You can see this dynamic in TAGS' first couple of eps, with Andy trying really hard to draw the laughs. One has to be smart and selfless to make a change like that, but it's likely the show woulda had a lot shorter shelf-life had it continued with Andy trying to get the laughs.
Bavier was difficult to work with. Howard Morris, (Ernest T. Bass) directed an episode once and he said something to her that she didn't like ,...and she gave him an earful that she didn't appreciate it, too.
Here is a tip: It's hard too hear what you are saying, and the back ground going at the same time! I have never heard that Aunt Bee never liked her role! She could have quit at any time! It's not like, Barney was holding his one bullet to her head.
GEE RAM If she was such a classically trained actor and didn’t like her character of Aunt Bea, why would she lower herself to take the job? I never liked her character either. Had a mean streak about her, lurking beneath. She started out with a rather forced southern accent first few episodes, then slowly morphed into some kind of cross between an English accent and a high brow Philadelphia accent. What the heck!?
Normally, I enjoy FV very much! This one the background sound track was a bit loud, however and detracted from the nararator's commtary. It was very distracting, not to mention annoying!
You are making it look like the show declined when Don Knotts left. It actually increased in popularity! By the time it left the air it actually climbed to the number one show in the country! Do your research
The shock is the name of desi Lou studio n 20 min.away from mt.airy aka Mayberry is the real Mayberry right across the Virginia border on couple other things u fail to mention. Lol
Mr Schwump... you got it all wrong.. nobody knows who the man was..he's a mystery. nobody !!!! we will never know the truth... all cast member couldnt recall his name he's unknown like time traveler you got it wrong
Aunt Bee's first appearance did make a reference that Opie was going through a difficult time meaning his mom must have died. And capital punishment was endorsed in the show. At least 4 times was spanking/whipping mentioned. Opie was definitely spanked by Andy as he referenced "give me a whippin'" like he's been whipped before. Drinking was common. Smoking was common. Marijuana was mentioned. Wholesome show? Hardly. And fast and loose with firearms - Barney always misfiring as his pistol gets stuck in the holster. Hell, he almost shot children several times. Gomer with the rifle barrel in his mouth and dropping it off a roof and even aiming it at Otis. Opie got into fights. His school newspaper bullied and belittled students and spread mean gossip.

Otis never drank? Suddenly the Universe makes no sense anymore!
Even if Hal Smith that played Otis never drank in real life, he played the part very well.

They don't give ACADEMY AWARDS for TV shows, the give EMMYS.

It’s very hard to hear you in the sections where the show’s audio is at the same volume you are.
Thank you so much for the constructive feedback. We'll check the video 💕
If I remember correctly in Andy and Dons biography it says Don Knotts and Ron Howard were related they found out they were like 3rd cousins
The actual truth about don knots leaving the show was because don ask Andy to be partner with Andy but Andy turned him down ❤️
The father of Arnold the rich kid and his bike was also the father of Howie Williams. (Barney the realtor)
Why are they not recognizing Aunt Bee as his mother figure? She cook, cleaned, and nurtured Opie.
Was it ever known if Otis was really drunk in the show? Or even Barney in certain episodes?

You're right, Jerry. I thought everybody knew that. Oh yeah, there's no apostrophe in sergeants, AND you spelled it wrong.
What fact most surprising to me is that Aunt Bee and Andy didn’t get along.
Bavier was difficult to work with. Howard Morris, (Ernest T. Bass) directed an episode once and he said something to her that she didn't like ,...and she gave him an earful that she didn't appreciate it, too.
Here is a tip: It's hard too hear what you are saying, and the back ground going at the same time! I have never heard that Aunt Bee never liked her role! She could have quit at any time! It's not like, Barney was holding his one bullet to her head.
GEE RAM If she was such a classically trained actor and didn’t like her character of Aunt Bea, why would she lower herself to take the job? I never liked her character either. Had a mean streak about her, lurking beneath. She started out with a rather forced southern accent first few episodes, then slowly morphed into some kind of cross between an English accent and a high brow Philadelphia accent. What the heck!?
Nothing I didn't already know.....
I think the ratings were still high after don knotts left. So I dont think the show suffered. I love don knotts but that's what I heard.
Normally, I enjoy FV very much! This one the background sound track was a bit loud, however and detracted from the nararator's commtary. It was very distracting, not to mention annoying!
Also it wasn't no black people in Mayberry or Hazard county
Yes there was, remember when the sit-com was filmed.
did have blacks in it..and one episode with a main black person acting
Really? Check out Season 1, episode 30. Title: Barney gets his man.
Yeah I know it was one episode but damn outta all those seasons y'all justify that with 9ne episode man really
Darrell Manning I agree. There should have been more. Personally I was surprised it happened once.
You are making it look like the show declined when Don Knotts left. It actually increased in popularity! By the time it left the air it actually climbed to the number one show in the country! Do your research
The shock is the name of desi Lou studio n 20 min.away from mt.airy aka Mayberry is the real Mayberry right across the Virginia border on couple other things u fail to mention. Lol
Mr Schwump... you got it all wrong.. nobody knows who the man was..he's a mystery. nobody !!!! we will never know the truth... all cast member couldnt recall his name he's unknown like time traveler you got it wrong
The name is pronounced Boo-Vi-A rhymes with Day. Not "Bavyer" It's French
Aunt Bee's first appearance did make a reference that Opie was going through a difficult time meaning his mom must have died. And capital punishment was endorsed in the show. At least 4 times was spanking/whipping mentioned. Opie was definitely spanked by Andy as he referenced "give me a whippin'" like he's been whipped before. Drinking was common. Smoking was common. Marijuana was mentioned. Wholesome show? Hardly. And fast and loose with firearms - Barney always misfiring as his pistol gets stuck in the holster. Hell, he almost shot children several times. Gomer with the rifle barrel in his mouth and dropping it off a roof and even aiming it at Otis. Opie got into fights. His school newspaper bullied and belittled students and spread mean gossip.
All of the facts
I mean Aunt Bee
Man don't even bother watching this, there's not one thing here that all true fans don't know
In the show Andy and Barney are cousins
Thanks for the info! What other types of video would you like to see?
Add: There were no Blacks in this small Southern town
Opie was a great little actor but turned a big Demorat
So?
Andy was a Democrat, too!
@Natasha Tomlinson Call them what you want, but its the truth.
His brother Clint is a republican, not that any of it has anything to do with this video.
Natasha Tomlinson I’ll bet your a fat brod
Shocked Andy was passed over as a lesser actor.
Mayberry FRD sucked. Talk about a bad spinoff.
...agreed,......it was down right boring
Not first
