Information
The small town of Mayberry, North Carolina, was the setting
of this highly successful homespun situation comedy. Sheriff
Andy Taylor was a widower with a young son, Opie. They
lived with Andy's Aunt Bee, a combination housekeeper
and foster mother for Opie. Andy's deputy was his cousin
Barney Fife, the most inept, hypertense deputy sheriff
ever seen on television.
The
tone of the show was very gentle, giving Andy the opportunity
to state and practice his understanding philosophical
outlook on life. Since there was practically no crime
in Mayberry, the stories revolved mostly around the personal
relationships of its citizens.
