Whether or not you were a big fan, you likely know all about The Andy Griffith Show, the hit 1960 sitcom that featured the lovable Sheriff Andy Taylor, keeping the peace in rural Mayberry with his hilarious deputy Barney Fife and caring for his adorable son, Opie. However, even fans may not recall that in 1971, three years after the original series went off the air, Griffith tried to recapture the magic of the ’60s show with The New Andy Griffith Show — and failed miserably. The new show confusingly featured many actors from the original Andy Griffith Show — but while some played their old characters, others played brand-new parts.
