    • Trivia
      Mayberry R.F.D. (1968) was one of CBS' victims of the network's infamous "rural purge" in the early 1970s, along with such shows as The Beverly Hillbillies (1962), Petticoat Junction (1963), and Green Acres (1965). At the time, close analysis of demographics indicated that these shows appealed only to those who lived in rural areas and older people. Then head of CBS and his new chief of programming Fred Silverman decided to cancel them, even though they were all still hugely popular and got high ratings, in favor of more politically correct shows that were targeted toward a younger more hip audience. An often-told joke that passed into legend is that "CBS canceled every show with a tree in it".

    "Mayberry R.F.D."---Running From Death.
    "Mayberry R.F.D." is basically "The Andy Griffith Show" without the key performers, the direction, the writing or the story-lines. What we are left with are city councilman Ken Berry and a sparse group of holdovers (Frances Bavier, Paul Hartman and Jack Dodson). Surprisingly the public did not seem to care as the show ran the better part of four years and completed 78 episodes. By the late-1960s "The Andy Griffith Show" had become stale though (even Griffith admitted to this) and losses like Don Knotts, Ron Howard, Howard Morris, Denver Pyle, Betty Lynn and Hal Smith were way too much to overcome. CBS held on to the idea out of respect, good manners and consistently above-average ratings, but the writing had been on the wall for quite some time when "Mayberry R.F.D." went the way of the dodo in 1971. Personally, I think this detracts from the original program and I have ended up dismissing it. But that is just me. 2 stars out of 5.
