The Andy Griffith Show
73Then talk about it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.
A father, a town, and a pace. Keep it. The joke is almost never cruel.
The glance
Piety is the thin one.

Set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
After the credits
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
Andy will not hurry, and he will not humiliate a man who can be redirected. Opie is being raised in public, which means the episode is often a lesson, and the lesson is usually about telling the truth or not using someone. Barney wants a gun and a title. Andy wants the street quiet. The show agrees with Andy.
A child can watch this. It is a picture of authority that does not need to be feared to be mind. The limit is the one every old comedy has: the town is narrower than a real town, and you should say so. The virtues are not narrow. They are the reason it is still on a free channel fifty years later.

The eight
Industry
6/10
The work is keeping a town boring. He is good at it.
Household
9/10
A widower and a boy. The household is the point of the quieter episodes.
Piety
5/10
Church is in the week. It is not a joke and not a plot twist.
Courage
6/10
The brave thing is usually not making a scene.
Republic
8/10
Mayberry is a commons. He treats the eccentric as a neighbor.
Temperance
8/10
Appetite is not the engine. A fishing hole is enough.
Truth
8/10
He makes Opie say the true thing, including when it costs the boy.
Stewardship
8/10
He is raising a person, not an audience.
