Local ne'er-do-wells, bumbling pals, and temperamental girlfriends further complicate his life. Andy Griffith stated in a Today Show interview, with respect to the time period of the show: \"Well, though we never said it, and though it was shot in the '60s, it had a feeling of the '30s. It was when we were doing it, of a time gone by.\"","leadImageMedUrl":"http:\/\/distro-1.retrojunk.com\/secure\/380c132977787d9497136b6b21ae5ae77a77e48605fa7832d730de50ec00a6a722fb16\/image\/c92da72fd66be263178cc9687595ca94_md.jpg"}
