Information
The
small town of Mayberry, North Carolina, was the setting
of this highly successful homespun situation comedy.
Sheriff Andy Taylor was a widower with a young son,
Opie. They lived with Andy's Aunt Bee, a combination
housekeeper and foster mother for Opie. Andy's deputy
was his cousin Barney Fife, the most inept, hypertense
deputy sheriff ever seen on television. The tone of
the show was very gentle, giving Andy the opportunity
to state and practice his understanding philosophical
outlook on life. Since there was practically no crime
in Mayberry, the stories revolved mostly around the
personal relationships of its citizens.
