My local FOX station aired 'Return to Mayberry' yesterday afternoon. While not up to par of the first five seasons of The Andy Griffith Show, it was still good, considering it had both Don Knotts and Jim Nabors in it. The plot was very TAGS. I was surprised the station was airing it though...Anyone else seen this TV-Movie?

*raises hand* I've seen it. I thought it was very good, it was quite a relief to have the full cast back together. The only thing I wished was that Gomer had somehow found LouAnn Poovie again and they were married on Return to Mayberry. That would've been cool.

I thought it had a very good plot for the reunion, and it was nice to see that they associated many of the original characters in this reunion. WGN showed it a few days ago (well, I think the 21st), and I taped it :-)
