The Andy Griffith Show hit its stride during its third season (1962-63), admirably restored in this five-disc, 32-episode boxed set. Andy Griffith perfects his levelheaded Sheriff Andy Taylor; Don Knotts is unsurpassed as the comically neurotic Barney Fife; and Ron Howard continues his legendary run as earnest Opie. The season opens with the endearing episode "Mr. McBeevee," Opie's friend in the trees who Andy believes to be a figment of his son's imagination. From there, every disc contains renowned classics, such as "Floyd, the Gay Deceiver" starring the dashing Howard McNear; "Andy and Opie, Bachelors" offering some of the season's greatest quips; and "The Darlings Are Coming," that crazy clan of mountain musicians including the overtly flirtatious Charlene. The season is acclaimed for introducing several new, recurring characters into the cast including Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors), "Miss Peggy" (Joanna Moore), and Helen Crump (Aneta Corsaut). Except for two episodes missing closing epilogue scenes (which Paramount discloses), the set contains 13 hours of full-length, uncut, black-and-white magic. Also included is the originally aired "Fishin' Hole" theme music throughout the collection, as well as more than two dozen "Sponsor Spots," vintage commercial advertisements featuring the show's cast. Don't miss the season highlight, "Man In A Hurry," a touching story where Malcolm Tucker delivers the now-famous summation of Mayberry, "Outrageous… a whole town is standing still because two old women's feet fall asleep," precisely the reason why this beloved sitcom remains a timeless treasure.

 Simply put; the best television show, ever. October 17, 2009
Darren D. Wheeler (Georgia)
No long list of words are necessary to state what is widely known about "The Andy Griffith Show." It is simply put, the best television show, ever. It is easy to see how Don Knotts won five consecutive Emmy's while playing Barney Fife on the show. I truly believe that no television show has even come close to rivaling "The Andy Griffith Show" for its quality and wonderful wit and humor.
I've purchased the DVD sets for seasons 1-5 and my wife and I are loving every moment of watching every episode. What a treasure!

The Andy Griffith Show - The Complete Third Season January 26, 2009
Harry Brewer (S'port, La.)
The first five season of The Andy Griffith Show are beyond classic. Those five seasons were the black & white seasons, they were also the seasons that co-starred Don Knotts as the incredibly neurotic deputy, Barney Fife.
Season three of the Andy Griffith Show continues in that classic vein & adding more beloved characters that the audience wanted more of. Season Three introduced Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors); nurse Peggy McMillan (Joanna Moore); the new Mayor, Roy Stoner (Parley Baer); Helen Crump (Aneta Corsaut); the Darling family, (Denver Pyle, Maggie Peterson & the Dillards); Malcolm Merriweather (Bernard Fox); & last, but not least, Ernest T. Bass (Howard Morris, who would go on to direct several episodes of the Andy Griffith Show).
All of these characters & the cast regulars in 32 great episodes. That's way too much to get into but I will highlight some outstanding episodes.
"Mr. McBeevee" in which Opie seems to go on an imaginary friend jag. He meets Mr. McBeevee, a telephone lineman, who's description seems to be too far fetched.
"Andy's Rich Girlfriend" in which Peggy, the county nurse, is introduced. She's so Southern & beautiful too.
""Andy & the New Mayor", the new mayor is introduced who is always at odds with Andy.
"Barney Mends a Broken Heart", one of Peggy's old boyfriends shows up in Mayberry. Andy gets a black eye but he & Peggy do get back together.
"Lawman Barney" has Barney unable to back down two vegetable peddlers. Andy, who has done this on more than one occasion, works in the background to assist Barney & boost his confidence.
"The Mayberry Band" has Mayor Stoner nixing the town's band from going to Raleigh because of their inability to play. Roy Fleet's band shows up (minus the original Roy Fleet portrayer & minus James Best) & Andy substitutes them in the band to get Mayor Stoner's approval to take the trip.
"Floyd, the Gay Deceiver". Floyd has been corresponding with a lady by mail but Floyd has been less than truthful about himself, he has bolstered his image by making himself bigger that who he really is.
"Opie's Rival" in which Opie becomes jealous of Peggy & tries to sabotage the relationship.
"Convicts-at-Large". Barney & Floyd run out of gas returning from a fishing trip. When they arrive at the nearest cabin they get taken by three escaped female convicts.
"High Noon in Mayberry" Barney attempts to protect Andy when a letter arrives from a convict that Andy had shot in the leg during a bank robbery.
"The Loaded Goat" in which a frisky goat eats dynamite & has Andy & Barney worried he will explode!
"Opie and the Spoiled Kid". One of the most deceitful characters in the annals of the Andy Griffith Show, Arnold Winkler (Ronnie Dapo), is a spoiled brat who will do anything to get his way. He attempts to teach Opie his tricks but Andy won't be manipulated. The conclusion of this show is one of the most satisfying, ever.
"Andy Discovers America" is the episode that introduces Helen Crump. Opie feels that the new teacher is giving them too much History homework. When Andy "seems" to agree the children revolt. Andy gets dressed down by the new teacher &, feeling sheepish, he gives the boys his own version of History that inspires them to learn.
"The Darlings Are Coming" introduces that famous family. Charlene has a crush on Andy which keeps him backpedaling. Briscoe Darling keeps reminding Andy that Charlene is betrothed & should leave her alone.
"Andy's English Valet" introduces the Englishman, Malcolm Merriweather, who's on a holiday in America. After he causes a car accident & is unable to pay for damages, Andy takes him on as his valet with disastrous consequences.
"Barney's First Car" in which Barney uses his savings to buy a car that's a complete lemon.
"The Rivals". Opie has his first crush but the girl is aloof & apparently uninterested. Crestfallen, Andy, Barney & Thelma Lou attempt to bolster his spirits. When Opie & Thelma Lou hit it off Barney gets angry because he can't get any quality time with her. Andy once again comes to the rescue with his wisdom & insight as he explains to Opie what it's like to date an adult woman. This was the type of scene that set the Andy Griffith Show so far above the other shows of any era.
"Mountain Wedding" brings back the Darlings & introduces Ernest T. Bass.
