The Andy Griffith Show returns on DVD with its complete second season, a five-disc collector's set of 31 episodes more memorable than one of Aunt Bee's "kerosene cucumbers." Set in the small town of Mayberry, the television series (1960-1968) followed the hilarious antics of widower Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), his son Opie (Ron Howard), and Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts). It has achieved cult status as one of television's most beloved sitcoms for its stellar cast, pristine comedy, and nostalgic charm. By season two, the series found its tone and tenor, proved by such classic episodes as "The Pickle Story," "The Manicurist," and "Barney and the Choir." After viewers endure (or skip) Paramount's half dozen promotional trailers at the beginning of disc one, they can bask in 13 hours of restored, uninterrupted, black and white television magic. The season's parade of guest stars includes Barbara Eden, Buddy Ebsen, Alan Hale Jr., Bill Bixby, and Sterling Holloway. Whereas the first season's DVD set was without bonus material, this collection features sponsor spots, original commercial advertisements (linked to individual episodes) where the show's cast members promote brands such as "Sanka" coffee and "Post" breakfast cereals--a guaranteed smile.
