5.0 out of 5 stars A Great DVD With Only One Let Down!, June 14, 2001

By	Tonya R Boyd "freak90_2006" (Lynnville, Tennessee United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great DVD, with only one let down. The let down was that they took out the Original Whistling Theme Song. But other than that the picture quality is just a good as the picture quality on TV LAND. This is a great DVD, and it is worth it to buy this DVD. SYNOPSIS ---- "Class Reunion" - Andy Rekindles An Old Flame. "Opie And The Spoiled Kid" - Opie Becomes Friends With A Rich Kid. "Aunt Bee's Medicine Man" - Aunt Bee Gets "Tipsy" On Indian Elixir. "Andy's English Valet" - Andy's Personal Servant Is Driving Him Nuts. "Rafe Hollister Sings" - Andy Discover Rafe's Talent. "Andy Discovers America" - Opie Puts Andy's History Knowledge To The Test. "The Darlings Are Coming" - Charlene Sets Her Country Cap For Andy. "Mountain Wedding" - Ernest T. Plots To Stop Charlene's Wedding. These 8 Episodes Are Eight Of The Best I Have Ever Seen. THE DVD DETAILS: Number Of Discs: 1 --- Languages/Sound: English/Dolby Digital --- Bonus Content: Scene Access, Cast Bios, Aunt Bee's Secret Family Recipes, Mayberry Music Videos, Mayberry Art Gallery, and Mayberry Tidbits. BUY IT NOW. A GODD BUY FOR A GOOD PRICE.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really a "best of", June 24, 2003

By	Rogee (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Like another reviewer said, this DVD isn't really a "best of" collection. It's a collection of eight episodes from the 1963 season.

The episodes look fine, but nothing special. There were no real enhancements to the video or audio. It looks just like it does on television. And the menu is VERY basic. Not a whole lot of time was spent developing this DVD.

The worst part is the lack of the original theme music. Yes, you could say that the actual show is the most important part. But the music was the show's trademark. It's what made it recognizable and memorable. Taking away pieces of the complete artwork of this series is simply unacceptable. Worse yet, the theme music is replaced by a very strange mock song that sounds like it belongs on the Teletubbies.

Additions include artwork, episode information, recipes, Mayberry tidbits, and Mayberry music videos. They are all nice additions, although I doubt Aunt Bea used Bisquick in her pancakes. The music videos are kind of clever, and I thought the mock MTV logo was funny. Artwork fails to inspire me on a television screen though.

If you're an Andy Griffith Show fan, and want to own a bunch of great episodes from the 1963 season, this is for you. If you are a purist this is definitely something you want to stay away from.

3.0 out of 5 stars not the complete episodes, September 19, 2001

By A Customer

If you are looking for uncut episodes, this is not the video to buy. Even though they have added the last few minutes of the program which is usually cut on TV, bits have been cut out of the middle of the episodes. I was very disappointed.
