Andy Griffith Show:Favorite episode of one of the best sitcoms ever.

[Metamorpho1977]

Mine is on right now, it's Opie the Birdman. You know the one where Opie gets the slingshot and accidentally shoots mama bird and has to raise the babies. Interesting note, it was directed by Richard Crenna.

The Andy Griffith Show is one of the greatest series ever on TV. It often handled really mature subject matter and did it with class without resorting to vulgar humor.

A guy living in Durham NC I love the Andy Griffith Show even if Andy is a rotten Tar Heel.

My favorite ep is....

Ernest T. wants to join the army to get a uniform that he can wear back to the hills to impress his lovely Romenna. When he is refused induction. Ernest goes on a window breaking rampage. Andy and Barney haul him in, but the jail can't hold him. After Ernest T. tells Andy his reason for coming to town, Andy settles the whole matter by giving him one of Barney's whiplash cord uniforms to take home.

There's so many great episodes. My favorite is probably Opie's Three Wishes. They don't show it much for some reason. Barney gets a hold of an old lantern and thinks he has released the spirit of Count S. Vantelecki. All this crazy supernatural stuff goes on and it's just one of the classic episodes that features the incomparable Don Knotts.

I also really like the one when the "lady druggist" (Ellie) comes to town and won't give Emma Branch her pills and aunt Bea tells Andy she's "walking crooked."

Such a great show and it is a testament to the fact that three generations have grown up with it now and pretty much everyone in the country has seen every episode at least 2-3 times.

Another favorite. I liked how the old lady tries to sneak in and steal her pills.

That show was so far ahead of it's time.

Don Knots was the greatest...I really miss him.
