Andy Griffith Show - The Complete First Season Reviews
One of the best shows ever on TV - A true classic.
Oh what a wonderful show this was. The characters are classic and loveable. The DVD quality was very good and for the price you can't beat it. The shear volume of shows is worth the price. If you like the Andy Griffith show or just want to get a feel for classic TV watch this DVD. It beats all of the junk on TV today. As a matter of fact I canceled my cable subscription and with the money I save each month I buy DVD's. No more searching endlessly through hundreds of channels to try and find something good to watch. I get to watch all of the shows I like without those annoying commercials. I can pause to go get something to eat or go to the rest room and start from where I left off. You can't beat that.
My favorite show of all time!
As a child I grew up watching reruns of TAGS and MAYBERRY R.F.D. and believe it or not I was a young teenager before I realized that Mayberry was not a real town. I had actually hoped to visit and maybe even move to Mayberry. Oh well, the innocence of youth, how I miss it. Well I may not be able to vist Mayberry in person but this DVD set of Season One is the next best thing.
Season One is so very good for so many reasons. It introduces us to Andy & company, and Mayberry. It's like watching a Norman Rockwell painting put to film, albeit a black & white Norman Rockwell painting. The first season has many of the problems that most first season shows do as it struggles to define characters. For example in episode 2, "The Manhunt", Emma Brand lives in the country. In episode 4, "Ellie Comes to Town", Emma Brand lives in what appears to be downtown Mayberry. Is the town barbershop owned by Colby or Floyd? It's little discrepancies like these that stand out to the fans of TAGS, and are kind of fun to point out.
Perhaps the best thing about Season One is Andy himself. In Season One Andy is not quite as sage as he would become in later seasons. He puts his foot in his mouth quite a few times and learns from his mistakes. Andy is also a lot more jovial than he is in later seasons. As the series advanced Andy became more serious and characters like Barney, Gomer and Goober took on the more humorous roles.
Lastly, extra features would have been nice and or the addition of the MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY episode that actually introduced Andy, Aunt Bee and Opie. However, considering the first season has 32 episodes that are uncut and an excellent image I'm not going to complain.
