All potential editors please note two important facts before making changes:
1) These episodes are listed in the production order, not their original air-date order. For reference, episode #4 is correctly listed as "Runaway Kid" because it was the fourth episode produced. Episode #4 is not "Ellie Comes to Town" in this particular list. Feel free to contribute as appropriate but please do not alter the episode numbers or order - they are correct!
2) Aunt Bee is most definitely spelled correctly. Yes, her name was Beatrice but her name was shown many times spelled "Bee".
Now that the production/airdate battle has subsided, somebody seems intent on removing information from the episode descriptions and adding the "disc number." I personally could care less which disc an episode appears on--we're not selling DVDs here--and it hardly seems relevent to a list of episodes in the order they were produced. Furthermore, why take out the airdate number, guest stars (e.g. "James Best" info was removed from "The Guitar Player" desc.), and other notable info, which as far as I'm concerned, is more important than the disc number? My guess is somebody's trying to make the list match the descriptions on their DVDs, not realising they're removing relevent info. Very unnecessary.
Dear fellow editors, DVD Disc numbers do not belong in this article. Please stop adding them (and removing important information too).

See Talk:The_Andy_Griffith_Show for the background to this proposal. The main purpose is to add screen shots for each episode, which involves transferring the information into newly restructured table formats. During this process we will also consider episode descriptions from an alternate TAGS episodes list (currently here), using which ever description is better or combining them both into a new, better description if necessary.
Here's the proposal sample for B&W episodes (gray header, barely tinted blue details background).
Production # | Broadcast # | Airdate | Title | Screenshot |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | October 3, 1969 | The New Housekeeper |
![]() |
Sheriff Andy Taylor (played by Andy Griffith) and his young son Opie (played by Ron Howard) are in need of a new housekeeper. Andy's Aunt Bee (played by Frances Bavier) looks like the perfect canidate and moves in, but her presence causes friction with Opie.

I got Season 4 done. I gotta say, it was much easier this time around. Like before with season 2, I incorporated the descriptions from both sets of lists (most of the time, it's pretty easy to tie the two together seamlessly). I also went through and tweaked some minor things (linking names, minor re-wording, and whatnot) as I was going. Enjoy. Wavy G 01:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Just as we're completing one task I go ahead and make another proposal.
I think our list looks great and has great information but it takes a long time to load, especially on dial-up. Although each of the screeshots are very very small file size, it still takes a while to load all +200 images. Perhaps we need to create seperate articles for each season and cross link between them? What do you think? Hey, maybe it's just me. I know The Simpsons has a single list with over 300 screenshots but that doesn't load quickly either. If nobody objects, I'll make those changes (later). Or I'll leave the list structure alone if nobody likes this idea. Looking for input. Fife Club 21:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Who cares about original production order? When the show originally aired it wasn't aired in order of production, so the list should be in order of air dates so that anyone who is watching the show IN ORDER OF AIR DATES (ie: watching it in the same order that it was originally seen), they can follow the list better. Sure, production date is interesting...but it could be a side note, not the order list. If no one else corrects the order, I probably will...because it is the better way to list it. 01:11, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
FWIW some stations still show it in production order. why not add a column with prod order and sort tables and let people sort by that if they want to — Preceding

OK, I am not sure if I am messing anything up (I know how long it has taken this page to get right), but both episodes #160 and #161 have the title :This is the first color episode to be produced.
I am removing it from 161. If I am in error, just fix it.littlebum2002 15:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia,and does summaries, not teasers: "But Brooke vows to escape again and head straight back to Mayberry to exact his revenge.", "... and creates turmoil with the town's resident hypochondriac." abd the like are teaser--the episodes had a specific conclusion, and it has to be stated--this is the sort of thing that might be in a tv guide. We should of course not have a full article on each episode, but we need more than one sentence. (And we it can all boioled down to one sentence, it has to cover the entire actions). DGG ( talk ) 06:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
I am concerned that this article is becoming overly cluttered with bits of minor in-universe trivia that are really not appropriate for an encyclopedic article. Some examples of what I'm referring to:
I believe that these types of items should be trimmed out of the entries. I'm sure they're being added in good faith, but Wikipedia is not a list of trivia items, and these are too minor to be appropriate. I would like to hear what others think. Ithizar ( talk) 01:33, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps some of this trivia could be organized. I just noticed that Dud Wash, who's in 2 episodes, is played by 2 actors. Carlm0404 ( talk) 00:58, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
I just saw that episode and you got it all wrong. Aunt Bee decided the jailhouse was a bad influence on Opie and convinced Andy of it. Andy told him he had to stay out of the jail. Aunt Bee tried to get him interested in planting spinach in the yard for something to do. He got bored with that and went out looking for something to do. He pried at the boards over the old mine's entrance until one came loose and there was a minor cave-in near the entrance(he just got dusty from it). He then went and traded a can he was kicking for a whole mess of apples this kid was eating sitting on the back tailgate of a truck(I think it was a delivery truck). He ate so many apples he got sick to his stomach-all of them, I believe-and then laid down in the back of the truck to sleep it off. He was NOT attempting to runaway-the truck took off with him in the back while he was asleep. Andy and Aunt Bee-after looking for him until after dark and getting worried out of their heads-got a call from somebody who told them where Opie was and how he came to be there. They then decided that Opie could hang around the jail-except when Otis was making his weekly visit-if some of the bad influence was cut out. Someone else can decide how they want to boil that down to a summary, but you at least ought to get it right when you write the summary. If you last saw the episode 20 years ago, maybe you shouldn't be writing the summary at all(although it might've been just copied from some other site). Ronar ( talk) 09:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
That character appears in 2 episodes. It has just come to my attention that 2 acrors play that character. Carlm0404 ( talk) 00:55, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
