A great scene of Colt Official Police helping Andy show a boy how to handle a gun. (this was shortly after Barney nearly blew his foot off) Andy Griffith Show's facebook page posted this yesterday. Thought I'd share it. Come to think of it.....i've got to show my wife this episode, she loves the show

Sheriff Andy...

was rightly concerned with proper gunhandling and safety. He restricted Barney to one cartridge for 'Baby' - which he made Barney carry in his pocket, leaving the revolver unloaded.

Thanks Doug for this picture that brings back good memories of a clean and good TV Program. I had forgotten that Andy too would rarely carry the Official Police. My hero, Deputy Fife, fierce gangster-getter and crime buster, lawman! As most Andy Griffin fans are aware, the post war OP was Barney's duty revolver. However, there was one episode, an early one, in which Barney used the S&W Model 10 in blue steel and a four-inch tapered barrel. I believe it was just one episode as all the rest, in which Deputy Fife had to pull his revolver, it was the Official Police. Thanks again Doug!

"That's it, Opie....line up those sights .... now squeeeeeze!" "Me TV" on satellite TV shows Andy Griffith reruns morning and afternoon-- about 3 to 4 hours worth each day. Also Dragnet & Adam 12 once a day.

That's not Opie. Opie is in the door looking. Opie was jealous when Andy was showing his friend (I think Trey) about the gun.

I wish DISH would carry MeTV. It's what Nick & Nite and TV Land used to be before they went trash tv.

I still think that was one of the best TV shows ever to be on television. I LOVE ME TV and watch it more than any other channel and I have like 220 channels on my satellite package. I might just cut my sat package to nothing but the minimum since they constantly replace good TV with stupid reality shows of people being stupid and that have no morals.

 

[SnakeGunner]

Yes that does look like Opie behind the screen door. If I was Opie I would be pissssed!

Is this MeTV on Direct TV? If it is, I can't seem to find it.

Andy is on Dish a couple of times a day for about two or three hours on TV Land. Seems like around 8:00 AM and around 5:00 PM.

I bought the entire series at target. It's better than any show on tv today...

Actually, the scene is 'Politically Correct' if one wishes to live in the United States of America.

It is not 'politically correct' if one wants to live in some permutation of Stalinistic totalitarian tyranny, with all the tiers of personages and their endless destructive criticisms and harping and fallacy, and sophistry, as go along with that..!

I have the A.G. series too but like Gomer Pyle USMC a little better which was a spin off of Andy Griffith. I have the whole Gomer Pyle series as well.

That's right. 5 episodes in the morning and 6 episodes in the evening.

i call it crapville.

"MeTV" is a local station, aired on my Dish satellite system here in northwestern Washington. I believe it used to be KVOS in Bellingham.

Nope, it's a syndicated network. We have one in Albany, NY.

America long ago forgot how to do television.

 

[broomhandle]

Andy was an avowed far left, liberal. Don't be fooled by the photo. That might have been one reason he usually ignored carrying weapons and portrayed Barney as a bumbling fool who always carried a revolver with one bullet in his pocket.

I am a fan of the andy griffith show.
