maybe the best all around 'sitcom' ever made for TV, pathos, bathos, humour, everything, AND music. The best feature of the show, which has been cut in all of its syndication, that I have seen, was the last part after the last commercial break. Andy sitting on the front porch with his guitar, Opie, Aunty Bee, and maybe some character who had been over the house, all singing old songs together. I would love for whoever is syndicating the show to restore those moments to it, or run an entire show of just those 2-3 minute musical moments.
