Mayberry Man: The Series

I am honored to have a small role in The Series and in The Movie. Neither is meant to redo The Andy Griffith Show. Many of the actors/tribute artists have attended The annual Mayberry Days Festival each September in Mt. Airy, NC, Andy Griffith's hometown. The writer/director and the producer are sons of an original TAGS actor. Some children of original TAGS actors are involved. All involved were/are committed to celebrate, pay tribute to, and continue the spirit of Mayberry. A Mayberry State of Mind.

I have been privileged to attend Red Carpet screenings in cities in North Carolina, Indiana, Tennessee, and Alabama. The audiences were always complimentary.

The number of online viewings speaks for itself.

Reminiscent of the original Mayberry escape from reality. Fun, family-friendly and filled with familiar lines based on scenes from The Andy Griffith Show that give us long time fans a good feeling inside. Politics is not the subject. The goal is for everyone to treat each other like the town-folk of Mayberry tried to do - in a friendly manner with brotherly love. It may be a little corny here and there, but I think Andy Griffith would approve.

The show is NOT trying to be The Andy Griffith Show. Mayberry is a state of mind.

The movie and the series far surpass anything else available these days for families to watch. We need more shows like this. It's good, clean fun and entertainment.

My family has enjoyed the series! Thank you so much for bringing wholesome television back!

We really enjoy the actors who are playing our favorite characters from the original Andy Griffith Show series.

After seeing The Mayberry Man movie we were so excited to find out that the story would continue in the form of a brand new TV series. And you all did not disappoint.

We were huge fans of The Andy Griffith Show!

Of course, nothing could ever compare to the original show, but we appreciate the down to earth creativity of the writers and the pure story lines!

Great story line and lots of laugh out loud moments!!

Love it!

Even if you have never watched one single episode of The Andy Griffith Show, you would really like this show. Of course if you like that show then you would like this even better. But I suggest you first watch Mayberry Man: The Movie, which is free to stream on YouTube. Both are professionally made productions like you would see in the movies and on TV. It is a tribute to The Andy Griffith Show (not a remake or a sequel). Many of the characters have been real tribute artists at the annual Mayberry Festival at Mt. Airy every year. And that's where the plot starts. It's a love story with humor and lots of fun packed into 5 episodes. There is no footage from the original Andy Griffith Show, except for a remade courthouse, but there is a lot of different footage from California to Texas to a wonderful small town they call, Mayberry.

Awesome film by the Howell brothers, whose father was Hoke Howell a famous character actor who played Dud Wash in the original series. A great family film with recognizable characters and new ones as well.

!/3 of the movie was shot in Andy Griffiths home town, and a Mayberry vibe type town in Danville Indiana, the rest in LA, great scouting locations for sure. It was a well written story with all the elements an all movies, the hero, the pretty girl, protagonists, and the oddball characters. The main reason an Andy wasn't in it is b/c a suitable tribute artist at the time could not be found and instead of throwing someone who auditioned badly into it, it simply was rewritten.

Again it's not a remake, but a carrying on, of the Mayberry spirit which some reviewers could use on here. Wholesome 1960's vibe that we miss and the family values needed and a fun watch for the whole value. On it's own merit, it's worth the watch and may even introduce a new generation to the number one rerun TV show of all time, and why Stark and Cort Howell made it and with a passion, thanks Hoke for having two sons with a mission to keeping the Mayberry spirit alive, with a current and up to date movie and series.

P. S. The Series nor the movie has zero to do with Christian Nationalism as one sorry reviewer posed, he may have been talking about an actor but not the movie, the sad sack couldn't be clear and is clearly a saboteur. It is clear family comedy fun.
