Season 2 of the classic television show set in Mayberry, N.C., continues to follow the life and times of widower Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), who spends his days answering the questions of his son, Opie (Ron Howard), and tending to the citizens of Mayberry as the town sheriff. But with almost no crime to crack down on, Taylor and his deputy (Don Knotts) regularly engage in long-winded talks about life to pass the time.

Come sit a spell with the down-home folks of Mayberry, N.C.: Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), his son, Opie (Ron Howard), Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), bug-eyed deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts), mischievous Ernest T. Bass (Howard Morris) and all the rest of the town's endearing characters. George Lindsey joins the cast as Goober Pyle, replacing his cousin Gomer (Jim Nabors), who leaves for the Marines in the fourth season's finale.

Portraying goofy gas-pump jockey Gomer Pyle, Jim Nabors became a cast regular -- joining the homespun denizens of tranquil Mayberry, N.C. -- in the third season of this Emmy-winning television series. Of course, laid-back Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) is on hand, along with young son Opie (Ron Howard), spinster Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) and twitchy, bumbling deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts). Guests include Ellen Corby and George Kennedy.

Join one of television's best-loved dads -- Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) -- in bucolic Mayberry, N.C., as he dispenses gentle justice and raises his son (Ron Howard) amid a gaggle of colorful town characters that includes goofy Goober Pyle (George Lindsey). Along for the fun are Andy's Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) and Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts, who won many Emmys for his singular personification of an epic bungler).
