Featured review
Good, moral episode.
Though the later seasons of the Andy Griffith Show (made in color) lost a lot of the old look and feel of the black and white episodes, and sorely missed Deputy Barney Fife, the writers didn't miss a beat with fun and morally entertaining shows. This episode from 1968 tells a story regarding bullies that's been present since I was in school in the 1960s. The writers of the Andy Griffith Show found a way to keep the show and its characters fresh for 8 years, and they are to be commended for that. There are only a few other half-hour series from the 50s and 60s that really hit the nail on the head with such superb writing (Leave It To Beaver, Superman, and The Dick Van Dyke Show come to mind). What a great time to grow up. Times have sure changed, and these programs are sorely missed. When I was a kid I couldn't wait to get home from school to watch these great programs. That was nearly 50 years ago!
