Where To Watch
How well do you remember the first episode of The Andy Griffith Show?
Andy was perfection from the premiere — but can you stay perfect?
Few TV shows began in such perfect form. The Andy Griffith Show premiered on October 3, 1960, and all the core elements were there. The hilarious overeager policing of Barney Fife, the charming parenting skills of Andy Taylor, the warmth of Aunt Bee.
The glue of the episode, "The New Housekeeper," is Opie. Ron Howard, just six years old, steals scene after scene as he objects to a marriage, fixes breakfast, and threatens to run away from home.
And, yes, it gets us every time. Even as we watch this first episode for the umpteenth time to make this quiz — well, our eyes got a little moist.
Mayberry fans sure know this show forward and backward. How well do you remember "The New Housekeeper"?

I thought technically the first episode was on Make Room for Daddy(February 16th, 1960) which introduced all, or most of the early cast. It is interesting to note that the town drunk was played by Frank Cady, and Francis Bavier was a different character, not "Aunt Bee".
I couldn't remember what Opie was scrubbing I thought for sure it was burnt toast
I got all 12 correct for the first episode of Andy

12/12! I remember watching the first episode when it debuted back in 1960. Just a few days after the Flintstone debut.
Can anyone help me? On the MeTV hour identification, there's a series of pictures... Andy, Hawkeye, Hoss, Carol., etc. I cannot figure out the second person from the left! Who is it? I cannot believe I don't recognize him! Who can help me?
