A spin-off of The Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry R.F.D. became
successful in its own right. The show aired from 1969 through 1971
and was consistently in the top 15 of the Nielsen ratings. Its
demise was caused by the sudden elimination of rural-oriented
series by CBS in 1971 in order to make room for more ""realistic""
fare. The show's popularity owed much to the casting; George
Lindsey (playing Goober Pyle), Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague), Paul
Hartman (Emmett Clark), Ken Berry (Sam Jones), and others who moved
seamlessly from The Andy Griffith Show to the new series.
Episode-by-episode, this is the definitive reference to Mayberry
R.F.D. Each entry provides episode title, writer, director, regular
and guest cast, and numerous other facts about it. Capsule
biographies of guest stars are given within the entry for the
initial episode in which they worked, while more detailed
biographies of the writers, directors, and major stars follow the
