The Andy Griffith Show originally aired on CBS from 1960 until 1968, generating consistently high ratings and winning six Emmy awards--five for actor Don Knotts ("Barney Fife") and one for actress Frances Bavier ("Aunt Bee")--as well as three additional Emmy nominations in humor and comedy categories. Six decades later, the iconic series about a Southern sheriff and the quirky characters in the fictional small town of Mayberry, North Carolina, remains in syndication around the world. Mayberry was loosely modeled after actor Andy Griffith's real-life hometown of Mount Airy, North Carolina, which hosts Mayberry Days®, a festival that celebrates The Andy Griffith Show through tours, family events, musical performances and appearances by special guests. Writer-producer-director Chris Hudson uses the town and the festival as a jumping-off point for his documentary.

Maybe I'm just under the nostalgic spell described in the movie; maybe the whole thing felt like a Christopher Guest mockumentary and I'm just too soft headed to notice. Go to Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Sep 11, 2021

4/5
Works because it takes a step back from the show & its fans to talk about what the feeling of Mayberry means, and why has it stood the test of time. Thoughtful & fun. Nip it! Go to Full Review Read all reviews
