Mayberry is in North Carolina. The Andy Griffith Show made it come alive from 1960 - 1968. The show was considered amusing and much loved. Here's the summary:
Widower Sheriff Andy Taylor, and his son Opie, live with Andy's Aunt Bee in Mayberry, North Carolina. With virtually no crimes to solve, most of Andy's time is spent philosophizing and calming down his cousin Deputy Barney Fife.
Creators: Sheldon Leonard, Aaron Ruben, Danny Thomas Stars: Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Don Knotts
The top-rated episodes are:
Convicts-at-Large Barney and Floyd are held hostage in a cabin by three escaped women convicts.
The Pickle Story No one will admit to Aunt Bee's homemade pickles being the worst they've ever tasted. Andy switches them with store-bought ones to avoid eating hers, but her decision to enter them in the county fair...
Barney's First Car It's a red-letter day in Mayberry when Barney decides to join the motoring world, but things go sour when his cream-puff turns out to be a lemon.
Here's the strange joke that I found:
Andy Griffith's family are undecided on funeral arrangements. They may cremate, they Mayberry
