Premise: Andy Griffith tackles socially relevant issues as the headmaster of a private coed high school. Viewers, however, didn't take to seeing Mayberry's down-home sheriff as a man of academia (Griffith himself called `Headmaster' `a very bad show'), so the actor returned to his Southern roots, beginning production on `The New Andy Griffith Show,' about the mayor of a North Carolina town called Greenwood. It too was unsuccessful.
