The Andy Griffith Show: The Complete Fifth Season [5 Discs]

MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

The last black-and-white season of The Andy Griffith Show has come to DVD in a sparkling transfer that is so sharp that some shots look like they're in 3-D; and an audio track so carefully mastered that the tiniest subtlety of the music track, on a sensitive episode such as "Opie Loves Helen," is brought out in far better detail than it ever was in broadcast presentation. The chapter breakdown is the same as on previous volumes, corresponding to the commercial breaks in the original episodes. The 32 episodes themselves are equal to those of prior seasons, and, indeed, feature some fascinating character development as the writers found the need to stretch into new areas to find stories to tell. Additionally, watching this season, which was also Don Knotts' last as a regular cast member, one tends to want to savor the interaction of Griffith and Knotts even more than the material commands -- the program would last another three seasons, but it would never be any funnier than what we see here. The five single-sided discs each open to an easy-to-use menu; there are no bonus features. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
