All 32 episodes of the classic show's first season are coming to Blu-ray in April, and now supplements have been detailed.
As previously reported, Paramount is preparing 'The Andy Griffith Show: Season 1' for Blu-ray on April 8.
Few television characters have impacted family culture as much as Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), Barney Fife (Don Knotts), Opie (Ron Howard) and the idyllic American town of Mayberry. As town sheriff and widowed father, Andy teaches his son the meaning of family, friendship, and upstanding citizenship in this all-time classic series, now in remastered HD with slick-as-a-whistle special features. Includes every episode from the first season, beautifully restored in high definition, in original night-of-broadcast form with original sponsor openings and closings.
Specs have yet to be detailed for the 4-Disc Blu-ray set, but supplements will include: The Danny Thomas Show: "Danny Meets Andy Griffith"; Additional Scenes; Interview: "Person To Person" with Andy Griffith (6/14/57); The Howards' On-set Home Movies; and Return To Mayberry Television Movie.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $129.99.
