Who wouldn't like to take a trip back to 1960? That's the year the Andy Griffith Show premiered, beginning an eight-year visitation in the small town of Mayberry that still delights many hearts. Located in a far corner of the state of make-believe, Mayberry was an old-fashioned place even then, home to many quaint, amusing characters. It was small-town America with the sad and ugly parts left out; a place where good humor, homely virtues, and common decency still ruled. How very far away it seems today.
Your Head Trucker swore off broadcast television thirty years ago, so I never saw this reunion special with Andy and company that was made in 2003. But I'm enjoying it now - maybe you will, too.
The Mayberry Special departs at 7 o'clock on Track 1. I've got my Pullman ticket in hand. Who else wants to go?
Bonus:Marina Coates from Mockingbird Lane Design has done a brilliant job of portraying the Taylor home in 3-D. Check it out:
