See Andy hanging with his costars, wife and manager on the set of Mayberry.
There's no doubt that the cast and crew of The Andy Griffith Show got along together like the best of family and friends. There's no faking the warmth and chemistry seen on the screen.
But just in case you need photo evidence, we have it.
These pictures show the folks of The Andy Griffith getting along as famously as shrimp and grits. We also get a glimpse of some rarely seen people from Andy's life, like his wife and manager. Let's take a look!

could tell that don knotts was never in the military with him wearing those ''air force'' gloves. lol
Actually (as a simple web search will show) - Andy Griffith made the set miserable for others. He was dreaded on the set for criticizing everyone’s performance and playing jokes on others at their expense.
love this channel. a lot of the shows i love come on so early in the morning i got my sleeping all mixed up. its like i am working graveyard shift. lol
I don't know if the misidentification of characters is an oversite or not knowing your topic. When die hard fans have to make corrections.
And why aren't off topic posts deleted, I don't care how to make money. This is not the place for it.

Just because Don is wearing a uniform doesn’t make it Mayberry. Look at #10 and you plainly see that his is now in the Air Force. This is from No Time For Sergeants (1958), two years before TAGS premiered...”By dog I don’t think I’ll stand for it if someone calls me Airman”.
Also, on #11 it’s Gomer.

You won't find a lot of series like TAGS (meaning classic TV) that will release truly candid (behind the scenes) photos. Most are always staged and controlled through the publicity department. But these photos are definitely fun and speak about the set in general!
Thanks for finding them!

Look at Andy's hair in picture 10! My first thought was "How did Lonesome Rhodes end up in Mayberry"...LOL!!!
My sidebars about what some of you have already noticed...
"Andy was feeling blue with his musical choices this day." (Now MeTV is clairvoyant and can read past thoughts and moods of people fom over 50 years back...)
"Andy gifts Ron a lift - literally." (OK, Ron... this was a GIFT lift... write a "thank you" note...)
"Goober gets under the hood" Guess wha? It's GOMER! What's the matter, MeTV... are you suffering from a bad case of the "Pyles"?????

If you don't enjoy the articles, the pictures or the captions ... why bother with it. Captions do annoy me. But why the way who cares about my opinion.
Just a thought ... 😉

Have you not noticed that many of us nitpick the typos and errors in fun just to share a laugh?
I *never* said I don't enjoy the articles, and I think you're [perhaps] taking my asides way too seriously. Kindly note I usually put a winking, tongue stuck out or laughing face icon next to my comments in order to denote that I'm just kidding around...

Thanks for clarifying that you were just joking and having fun. When I 1st read your comment's I thought you had a wedge or something😃😛
Most of the comments on the various pages are made in jest by the various contributors. It's so much fun to poke at the MeTV staff, because they post many articles without proofreading them for errors, omissions or typos.
If you were to see some of my other threads, I like to needle myself because I'm great at spelling, but lousy at typing (big hands; tight keys on the computer keyboard).
Many times I've caught a hastily typed goof of mine - then have to delete what I'd just written and correct myself. Occasionally, something slips by and I'm called out on that typo...
It saddens me that this world has become increasingly over-sensitive and we've lost the ability to laugh at good-natured ribbing...
