Mayberry Returns! The Best ‘Andy Griffith Show’ Episodes to Watch on MeTV This Week

Well, folks, Mayberry’s still the kind of town where people try their best, even if things don’t always turn out quite right. This week on MeTV and The Andy Griffith Show, you’ll see a little bit of everything that makes life here what it is—Barney cooking up new schemes, Goober finding trouble where he least expects it and Otis trying once again to stay on the straight and narrow. Through it all, there’s plenty of laughter, a few good lessons and a reminder that friendship and forgiveness go a long way in a small town.

We’ve had our share of excitement lately, as you’ll see in this week’s episodes—haunted houses, fortune-telling cards, and even a courtroom or two—but somehow things always come back around to a calm evening on the front porch. That’s what makes Mayberry special: no matter how mixed-up things get, there’s always time to sit back, share a laugh and lend a helping hand.

So if you’re looking to slow down a spell and spend some time with good folks, come join us this week. The coffee’s on, the jail door’s open and we’ll be right here keeping an eye on things—just like always.
