5.0 out of 5 stars Andy Griffith reunites with Don Knotts, September 10, 2009

This review is from: Matlock: The Third Season (DVD)

I have always enjoyed watching the classic Andy Griffith Show with Andy Griffith as the mild-mannered sheriff Andy Taylor along with his bumbling and lovable deputy, Barney Fife. This was truly one of the great comedy teams of all time. In 1986, Andy Griffith returned to series television playing the country lawyer, Ben Matlock. The first two seasons were filled with comedy, mystery, and good courtroom drama. In the third season, Don Knotts joined the cast in the recurring role of Les Calhoun, Ben's neighbor. What a thrill it was to see these two comic geniuses together again on television. This made the third season a must for my DVD collection.

One episode to note is the season premiere, "The Lemon," where Les purchases a used car from a not-so-honest dealer and then gets framed for his murder. Of course, Matlock has to defend him. Les also makes memorable appearances in more episodes such as "The D.J.," "The Black Widow," and "The Psychic." There were also many intriguing mysteries written for this season like "The Captain," "The Other Woman, "The Model," "The Blues Singer," and "The Priest."

The third season of Matlock is a must for any fan of Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, or just good dramatic mystery stories.

I am so glad to see Matlock season 3! I snatched it up right away... and really enjoy watching the show.

There's such nonsense on television nowadays and I look forward to watching tons of old shows on dvd instead of regular tv.

Plus, there's some nostalgia for this show, since it was on in the hospital when I was born.

I'm so glad CBS has continued to release the Matlock series on DVD. What a great, family-friendly show! Everytime I pop an episode into the DVD player I think about the past when my dad and I would cuddle on the couch and see who could solve the mystery first. Keep the seasons coming CBS!
