A fun book about the TV shows

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fun reference book about "The Andy Griffith Show". It was divided into two general sections; first, a look at each individual major character in the show and highlights and trivia about specific episodes in which they were featured. The second half of the book is an episode-by-episode synopsis for the entire series. A few errors here and there but basically it's a reliable source of information and trivia about the show and its actors.
