While Griffith and the series itself received no awards, co-stars Knotts and Bavier won six Emmy Awards combined. Spawning spin-off shows like Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., Mayberry R.F.D., and a reunion movie, Return to Mayberry, The Andy Griffith Show remains beloved, with merchandise still in demand. It continues to air on TV Land and is available on DVD and streaming services like Netflix.IMDb 8.4TMDB 7.6 - 161
