Season 5 marked two notable lasts for this beloved series, which never fell below the Top Seven in the ratings. This was the last season in black and white. More devastating, it was multi-Emmy-winner Knotts' last season as Barney Fife. By the penultimate episode, "Opie and the Carnival," he is just gone, an unceremonious departure for an iconic character so integral to the show's success. That "Banjo-Playing Deputy" in the season finale is Jerry Van Dyke, who might have been a worthy replacement for Knotts. Instead, he reportedly turned down the role to star in his own sitcom, My Mother, the Car. The rest is TV infamy. By this time, though, The Andy Griffith Show's best years were behind it. But this season contains at least two classics, "Goodbye Sheriff Taylor," in which Barney is sheriff for a day while Andy interviews for a job in Raleigh, and "The Case of the Punch in the Nose," in which Barney reopens an unresolved 1946 case involving Floyd the Barber and Charley Foley. And with episodes featuring the late Howard Morris' Ernest T. ("The Education of Ernest T."), the Darling family ("The Darling Baby"), Mt. Pilot "fun girls" Skippy and Daphne ("The Arrest of the Fun Girls"), and a guest star turn by Don Rickles ("The Luck of Newton Monroe"), Andy Griffith Show devotees are advised to take the Fifth. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of The Andy Griffith Show - The Complete Fifth Season
Editing? Many people are complaining about the cut scenes, but as someone who was a baby when the show first aired and only saw it in re-runs, I have noticed many scenes that I never saw before. I have sets 1-5 and think they are beautifully done! Crisp picture and great audio. Don't let the complaints sway you from buying at least the first 5 seasons. I don't know if I'll buy the color episodes or not, but it would be nice to have the complete set.
Thanks for the Laughs, Don (1924-2006)
'Nuff said. One of the greatest comedic actors left us yesterday. Rest in peace, Don Knotts (aka Barney Fife aka Mr. Furley)...your physical body is gone, but thanks to these classic DVDs your comedic genius will continue to live on...there'll never be another.
Thank you Don Knotts, .........You will be missed!
The #1 reason why The Andy Griffith Show is STILL so popular to this day is due to the talent of ONE comic actor: Don Knotts.
