Filming Location for The Andy Griffith Show
This is a redo of my previous upload. I have modified it with narration and did away with the background music. Some people were disappointed they were not seeing the sets in the studio, unfortunately, nothing of those sets exist today. Since Desilu sold the studios, there have been many other productions done there. The old studio has changed hands several times too. The good news is, the old soundstages are still there, some have been renumbered, but the lot still looks much the same as it did during the Desilu years. This is where the interrior shots were filmed for The Andy Griffith Show as well as Gomer Pyle USMC, and other well know productions. In addition to the interior sets, there was also a duplication of the exteriors for the Court House and Floyd's Barber Shop. These were used a good bit, but all of the outdoor filming of the streets of Mayberry were shot at the Old 40 Acres Backlot in Culver City. Those sets were destroyed in 1976 after the studios sold the property for the development of an industrial lot. Today there some sound stages located on the property but they are owned by Century Studios. If you would like to see some of the modern views on video, I have some posted on my channel. You can also go to Kipp Teague's website of the Old 40 Acres (Retroweb) for some very interesting archives featuring the old town of Mayberry! I also have some footage from Franklin Canyon Park near Beverly HIlls...this was the site used as Myers Lake in The Andy Griffith Show.

The Andy Griffith Show
The Andy Griffith Show is an American sitcom first televised on CBS between October 3, 1960 and April 1, 1968. Andy Griffith portrays the widowed sheriff of the fictional small community of Mayberry, North Carolina. His life is complicated by an inept, but well-meaning deputy, Barney Fife (Don Knotts), a spinster aunt and housekeeper, Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), and a precocious young son, Opie (Ron Howard). Local ne'er-do-wells, bumbling pals, and temperamental girlfriends further complicate his life. Griffith said in a Today Show interview, about the time-period of the show: Well, though we never said it, and though it was shot in the 1960s, it had a feeling of the 1930s. It was when we were doing it, of a time gone by.. However, in the fourth episode of the second season, a distinct reference was made to the current year being 1961. In the episode, a municipal bond issued in 1861 was discovered and was payable for exactly 100 years of interest.
The series never placed lower than seventh in the Nielsen ratings and ended its final season at number one. It has been ranked by TV Guide as the 9th-best show in American television history. Though neither Griffith nor the show won awards during its eight-season run, series co-stars Knotts and Bavier accumulated a combined total of six Emmy Awards. The show, a semi-spin-off from an episode of The Danny Thomas Show titled Danny Meets Andy Griffith, spawned its own spin-off series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. (1964), a sequel series, Mayberry R.F.D. (1968), and a reunion telemovie, Return to Mayberry (1986). The show's enduring popularity has generated a good deal of show-related merchandise. Black and white reruns currently air on TV Land, and the complete series is available on DVD. All eight seasons are also now available by streaming video services such as Netflix.
