Andy Taylor (Griffith), His Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) (film #2 in the Mayberry RIP section of TVParty). [Category: Commercial]

The highlight of this clip is a patently ridiculous commercial for Sanka coffee featuring Andy trying to convince Opie that it’s just the thing to feed his parakeet. When Opie insists that parakeets don’t drink coffee, Andy smiles wryly and says, “The sponsor don’t know that!” This is part of a larger clip that includes the last couple of minutes of "The Andy Griffith Show," the closing credits, and a brief promo for “Angel” as well. A great slice of tv-watching life during the early 60s.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
