The Andy Griffith Show, Behind the scenes of the "real" Mayberry...

[Horace Debussy Jones]

Being a fan of this, and a great many other old TV shows I found this interesting article about the sets used not only for The Andy Griffith Show, but also quite a few other productions as well. The actual town of Mayberry even appeared in an episode of Star Trek.
