Merchandise and Pop Culture.
Wow, where do we even begin? The amount of merchandise and pop culture references attributed to the show are a mile long. Let’s see, Dell Comics actually published two The Andy Griffith Show comic books, other merchandise like board games, bobblehead dolls, kitchenware, and books also make the list. In 2003, the famous country band Rascal Flatts even released the song titled ‘Mayberry’ where most of the lyrics pay tribute to the beloved show.
The Greats.
In 2013, good ol’ TV Guide ranked The Andy Griffith Show as #15 on their list of the 60 Greatest Shows of All Time – nice.
