Fuck/Marry/Kill: The Andy Griffith Show

The Andy Griffith Show has been delighting viewers with the laid back, folksy autocracy of a small-town sheriff for over half a century. No matter what fads may come and go, Andy endures. Everyone who counts has a favorite character and a favorite episode. Given that level of universal appeal, we went to the streets to find out what Mayberry means to various men and women wandering the streets.

We’d like to extend our deepest apologies to the surviving cast and crew of The Andy Griffith Show, as well as the handful of readers who made it all the way to the end. Not that you creatures deserve any sort of apology or even the smallest amount of human kindness.
