National Public Radio once asked Griffith what the backbone of the show was – and why viewers continued to tune into reruns decades after it debuted? It was something of an escape and also a tease – leaving viewers with the hope that maybe life could one day work out the way it did in Mayberry. After all, whoever heard of a town where the crime is so low that the deputy keeps a bullet in his pocket instead of his gun?īut that was the charm and tug of the Andy Griffith Show.
