Because "Mayberry R.F.D." has rarely been in rerun syndication during the last 30 years, these episodes will be new Mayberry delights for many fans, and the first time seeing them in perhaps decades for others. In either case, it's wonderful to see them finally available on beautiful DVDs.
P.S. If you like to read about Mayberry as you're watching, we highly recommend A Guide to Television's Mayberry R.F.D. by David Fernandes and Dale Robinson. The two late authors and great friends of Mayberry were actually too modest. Their book is not just "a guide," it's the only guide published about the show. And a mighty fine one, it is!
