Now we can complete our Mayberry collections with the release of Mayberry, R.F.D.: The Complete Series!

All of Mayberry (and Mayberry's kin) will be available to own on DVD: The Danny Thomas Show backdoor pilot for TAGS, all 8 seasons of The Andy Griffith Show, all 5 seasons of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., all 3 seasons of Mayberry, R.F.D. and the TV reunion movie Return to Mayberry.

To me, Mayberry, R.F.D. is like seasons 9, 10 and 11 of The Andy Griffith Show. So, in that sense, I'll finally be completing that series.

I did record these off the MeTV alternate feed years ago-it's about time the series comes out on DVD, and I can now get them complete and unedited (I hope.)

Years ago, I had recorded the show off of TV Land during one of their Fandemonium weekend marathons. For some reason, I ended up giving my tapes away.

I like this show, but the main reason I'm happy about this is for the reason I mentioned above. I see it as The Andy Griffith Show seasons 9, 10 and 11. I feel that if the show had always been called The Mayberry Show since its debut in 1960, it simply would have been a cast change of Andy Griffith leaving and being replaced by Ken Berry, rather than changing the title of the series and calling it a spin-off. Of course, I don't know how well The Mayberry Show would have done in syndication as that would have meant there would be 5 seasons in black and white and 6 seasons in color! Most, if not all, people prefer the black and white, Barney Fife seasons, and this would mean there would be 6 color seasons, 3 with Andy Griffith and 3 without included in the reruns.

But I've rambled on enough, lol. I'm looking forward to this release. It's good to see physical media hasn't died.

I'm not fond of The Andy Griffith Show but Mayberry RFD is OK, Ken Berry is a likeable actor and any show that has the super cute looking Arlene Golonka is alright with me.

I might consider getting the full series DVD set as long as the episodes are complete/unedited and the discs are formatted in 4:3 full screen.

YES! Thanks for the news. Arlene Golonka Forever!

Arlene was so cute as Millie.

I purchased my copy at Wal-Mart yesterday for $40. That's a week earlier and nearly $30 cheaper than Amazon's listing.

Does Helen Crump continue to make appearances in this series?

[Willbo]

I think just twice.

Like Willbo said, she makes two appearances. The first episode of the series as well as the first episode of the second season.

Yes, in that second episode, she and Andy return to Mayberry with their new baby. Not a spoiler--that info. is on episode lists, like Wikipedia.

Set came today--I'm watching one of the funniest episodes (my opin. only) from season 3, Howard, the Dream Spinner. Full screen, episode length 25:42, excellent picture. Highly recommended.

Bought this set at Walmart today for $39.95. Still a bit pricey but I’ve been wanting it. They only had this one set on the shelf. No extras which is a shame. Not even an episode listing sheet.
