Clyde mentioned how great it would be to see the other actors faces to see
their reactions to the person on camera. That would have been interesting.
But I have noticed several occasions where Andy seems to be breaking up in the
background. The one that first comes to mind was shen Barney was lecturing
three new deputies, one of which was Floyd. I can't remember the episode (it
may have been the Gold Truck) but Barney was lecturing on Bud Nippin and had
then yelling NIP-IT!!! Floyd was so hilarious and if you look in the
background, Andy is covering his face and definately laughing. There are
several other scenes with Barney where you can tell Andy is about to lose it.
In all of the interviews with the cast they always talked about what a great
time they had on the set and how much of a family atmosphere there was. In all
of the home movies from the sets everyone is always smiling and laughing. I
can't remember if it was Andy Griffith or Don Knotts who said they didn't feel
like they were going to work, it felt like they were going home. I think that
attitude was reflected in the show and that's why we all feel like we are a
part of Mayberry.
