When it comes to classic TV shows Southerners love, “The Andy Griffith Show” is certainly near the top of the list.
Thanks to its iconic brand of wholesome humor, “The Andy Griffith Show” was a favorite throughout the South when it aired in the ’60s and still remains popular today. That’s likely because while Mayberry might be a fictional town, a lot of of us can see similarities between it and our own hometowns — as well the cast of characters that live there. Plus, Sheriff Andy Taylor almost always had some words of wisdom to pass on to Opie, and the process, passed ’em on to us too.
So with that in mind, we decided to share some of our favorite quotes from series. Some of them are wise, some of them are funny and some of them manage to be both.
