Andy Griffith: Mayberry County
built 219 days ago
The Andy Griffith Show was spun-off from a 1960 episode of The Danny Taylor Show. Unlike many other spin-offs though, Andy Griffith was not a recurring character on The Danny Taylor Show. In fact, he only appeared briefly in one episode as Sheriff Andy Taylor, the officer who pulled Danny over for running a stop sign in the fictional town of Mayberry.

Ah, the good 'ole days of Mayberry, where life for Opie, Andy and Deputy Barney Fife was about as warm as Aunt Bee's hugs. And who could forget Andy and Barney's squad car -- a Ford Galaxie. Rumor has it a nearby Ford dealer would supply the set with cars free-of-charge and every time a new model came out, the show's old Galaxie was returned to the dealer where it was re-painted and sold. Let's say Mayberry's top crime fighters drove a 1963 Galaxie. Its price tag back then? $2,562.
