Good to see TAGS cast members is about it.

I vaguely remember seeing this as a kid. The pilot for The New Andy Griffith Show. In it are Emmett (Paul Hartman), Goober (George Lindsey), Barney (Don Knotts) who are the highlights making one time appearances. Andy knows all three from Mayberry oddly even with his new Miss America wife Lee (Lee Meriwether) and different miscast kids. Andy (now Sawyer) has come from Raleigh to be the interim Mayor of Greenwood. Show lasted 10 episodes. This episode is a big dud without the old TAGS cast mates. Otherwise, there isn't anything remotely funny about the show or cast. Lee's sister Nora (Ann Morgan Guilbert) Millie from The Dick Van Dyke Show is cast as a very annoying complainer who lives with the Sawyer family. The plot is multiple people begging for a land rezoning favor from new Mayor Andy. 6* rating would be 1" without the TAGS gang.
