On CBS
A warmly affectionate sitcom about a widowed small-town sheriff raising his son with the help of his aunt, built on gentle humor, domestic wisdom, and the reassurance of a close-knit community.
Andy Taylor is the widowed sheriff of the fictional small community of Mayberry, North Carolina. His life is complicated by an inept, but well-meaning deputy, Barney Fife, a spinster aunt and housekeeper, Aunt Bee, and a precocious young son, Opie.
