details

• R.F.D. stands for Rural Free Delivery
  
  
• Essentially a continuation of "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960). In fact the series premier featured the wedding of Andy to his long time girlfriend Helen Crump, and Barney Fife can briefly be seen serving as Andy's best man.
  
  
• A victim of the infamous rural purge in 1971 along with "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962), "Hee Haw" (1969), "Green Acres" (1965) and the "Toast of the Town" (1948). These shows were perceived by then CBS executive Fred Silverman to only appeal to people who lived in rural areas and older people, so he decided to cancel them even though they were all still hugely popular at the time.
  
  

• The Andy Griffith Show has been brought to you by General Foods now Kraft Foods) makers of Maxwell House Coffee and Post Cereals.
