MAYBERRY R.F.D.
Situation Comedy (1968-1971)
|
Sam Jones -- Ken Berry |
Mayberry, North Carolina, is the setting for this series, a spinoff of The Andy Griffith Show. The show concentrates on the plight of Sam Jones, full-time farmer and part-time councilman. Mayberry R.F.D. is much like Andy Griffith in that most of the cast is the same, the slow-moving atmosphere continues, and the town looks familiar. |
