What It Was, Was Football

Before the iconic Andy Griffith rose to fame as the sheriff of Mayberry in the 1960s, he performed as a monologist, including a classic performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1953.

Christmas Story

From 1960, the only Christmas episode of the long-running Andy Griffith Show. Mean ol’ Ben Weaver tries to Scrooge-up Christmas for a likable moonshiner’s family, but Andy’s havin’ none of that.

Dig the brilliant camerawork and sound mix during the Away In A Manger scene.
