3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK, but other collection I've seen are better, January 14, 2005

This review is from: The Andy Griffith Show - Best of Barney (DVD)

The main thing I noticed about this set is that the image is DARK. I've got a few other Andy Griffith sets, and they all look better than this one. The sound is good, however, and in my opinion it's hard to call anything with Barney bad! It's inexplicable to me that they ditched the original theme music and replaced it with some lame synthesizer track. But I guess that doesn't ruin it entirely. Here are the episodes:

* High Noon in Mayberry - An ex-convict returns to settle the score with Andy.

* The Great Filling Station Robbery - Barney tries modern criminal detection methods.

* The Rivals - Barney attempts to teach Opie the ways of women.

* Dogs, Dogs, Dogs - A pack of stray dogs make the courthouse home.

* The Loaded Goat - A farmer's goat makes a menacing mean of dynamite.

* Barney's First Car - A little old lady sells Barney a lemon.

* A wife for Andy - Barney goes fishing for a wife for Andy.

* The Big House - Two big city convicts do time at "The Rock."

2.0 out of 5 stars At Least it Has Barney, January 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Andy Griffith Show - Best of Barney (DVD)

Call me a crybaby, but I couldn't get over the fact that the music is not the original music. I had to fast forward each intro due to the horrible tune. Yuck! At least the shows feature Barney.

One thing to look out for is that many if these DVDs have the same episodes, just recycled into different packaging. I found this out after I bought "The Best of the Andy Griffith Show" and "The Best of Barney" in an Amazon package deal. Those 16 episodes are the same as the 16 on "The Best of the Andy Griffith Show 16 Episodes". Oh well. (The later DVD set is much better.)

This review is from: The Andy Griffith Show - Best of Barney (DVD)

This is a good DVD with only one let-down. The let down is it does not have the original whistling theme song. But it has just as good picture quality as TV LAND. IT IS WORTH BUYING.
