Scred as Aunt Bee
Mayberry residents and visitors included future The Muppet Show guest stars Don Knotts and Jim Nabors, and writers Jack Burns and Marc London
The Andy Griffith Show is a television sitcom starring Andy Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry, North Carolina, running on CBS from 1960 until 1968. The show focused on Andy's family (son Opie and Aunt Bee) and friends (especially hyperactive deputy Barney Fife) and assorted mishaps in the small rural town.

By 1965, Gomer had moved from The Andy Griffith Show into his own spin-off (Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.) while still having occasional crossover visits from his Mayberry friends.
