Trivia

Andy Griffith originally told Don Knotts that he only wanted to do the show for five years. So they both signed five-year contracts. During the fifth season, Knotts began looking for other work. He then signed a five-year deal with Universal Pictures. Suddenly, Griffith decided to continue on with the series for three more years and offered Knotts a new contract. But Knotts was already bound by his contract with Universal and left the show. See more »

Continuity: Barney's middle name is, for the most part, said to start with a P. But in some episodes his middle name is said to be Oliver and sometimes Milton. See more »
