[SIGNALSTAT]

this lake was used on the brady bunch also.

[Jorgen297]

My lazy sundays.

[AlienBeliever897]

I always thought that Family Guy should do an opening like this with Peter and Chris walking down through the woods playing this music lol

[NarnianNinja]

i'm trying to whistle the andy griffith show theme song. my dad whistles it like a pro!

[Incredirocks]

Is that where they really walked?

[Davve941018]

The Andy Griffith Show!

Starring Andy Griffith!

And "Show"!

And "The"!

[Orf]

nice

[ShadowFlame62]

I'll be honest, I've never seen this show...but for some reason the whistling was stuck in my head all day! I'll have to watch it next time I see it on. >_>

[davidamills]

Now that's one great dad to arrange something like that! 5 stars all the way!!!

[superdude1452]

i heard them whistle this song on scrubs, i had no idea it was andy griffin lol

[Bradyhousetour]

This is SO terrific. I was just there this summer. Went to Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir, where they filmed an episode of Brady Bunch, but could not find the Andy Griffith spot, as you have. It looks totally the same!! Astonishing, because nothing in L.A ever stays the same for too long.

[pokemongrl1994]

i have always loved this show only in black in white though the color just dont feel right =P

[SIGNALSTAT]

where are the 2 big rocks shown on the right of the orignal opening scene.

[nixthetiger]

This is a great tribute.

[bettydaw1970]

love stuff like this!!!

than you..

[ShockDoc]

Ive looked for that spot a few times, know the general area, but can anyone say how to get there?

[Batman001]

@ShockDoc follow the yellow brick road

[edro3111]

Do a Google Earth for Franklin Canyon Park in Los Angeles. It's shrunken a lot but the lake is still there and the area is easily accessed. Many TV shows filmed scenes in that place.

[jotomboy]

Wow you and your Son look just like Opie and Andy.Awesome Opening Dude

[summerteeth]

my parrot can almost whistle the whole thing! :D

[GatesJJ922]

I love this tune :) whistle it all the time in the shower =P lol

[TAGSFan59]

Love the show! Especially like that "Miss Crump" character. Another favorite from the show is when that Darling girl sings the song "Salty Dog". Thanks for posting this video. I walked this same path last year with my own son. Not quite the same effect since he was 18 at the time but still made for great memories!

[chrisastoyan]

it's cool to recreate it, but it's a bit cheesy.

[rockytoplespaul]

Yes, cool to do it. Cheesy to put it on YouTube. But I wouldn't mind if the title would have been accurate. I'm looking for the real credits.

[christian1127]

I always though that was the Hollywood reservoir. All these years, and there's another body of water around there that I didn't know about? fill me in please.

[mayberrycom]

Two Chairs No Waiting has a whole episode about Myers Lake or Franklin Canyon.

[howellfilm]

@christian1127 The lake at Franklin Canyon Park IS part of the reservoir system for LA, but it's just north of Beverly Hills (you have to take some side streets through Beverly Hills to get there). It's actually a very nice place for picnics and for hiking. And, though it's pretty close to all of LA, you wouldn't know it when you're there...it's a nice, peaceful place. Just watch out for Ernest T. Bass! Great job on the re-creation!

[Asaxof07]

wow, i watched this when i was a kid...the whistling was amusing to me

[onecuteskater08]

haha lucky, I was i can go back to the 50's & early 60's!

[brunohale]

This is your personal version of the show correct? As I was watching this video I found myself saying "Wait a minute, that is not Andy Griffith?!" "and that young lad certainly is not Ron Howard!" Right?

[mayberrycom]

That's right. As the description says this is at Franklin Canyon where my son and I walked the path and filmed us walking the path where Andy and Opie walked.

[homeostasis4me]

Way cool.

[addison4590]

my grand paw met andy griffith they wer good friends when my grand paw was in the army

[fakemccoy2008]

in the last few frames...Opie throws a rock into the lake. Yet there is no view of the lake in the last frames ofthis video?

[captainscott2]

The lake is still there...about 3 years ago, Andy produced a TV special called " Back To Mayberry.' There was a segment in the special where he and Ron Howard, once again, did the "walk" , and Ron threw a rock into the water. You can't see it too well from this vid, I assume because that's forty years of growth around the lake. However, during the special, when Ron & Andy sat down on a bench there at the lake to talk, you could see it.

[1point21jiggawats]

Thanks Earl for that Unforgettable theme song.

[georgeandersonjr]

Mr.Earle h. hagen the gentleman doing the whisting,passed away yesterday,in rancho mirage,California at the age of 88,may he rest in peace and thanks for bringing us such a memorable song.

[lefty5string]

i just went there today and did the same thing. great place!

[8mmstockfootage]

Such a great show. I don't recall even one episode that I didn't like.

[xXSaintsFanXx]

got to love the classics

[rhysugan0]

pretty good....keep it up

[wesley1959]

The lake dried up? When? Anyone know?

[mayberrycom]

It didn't dry up but it is smaller than it was back in the 60's. The dam is an earthen dam and they lowered the water level to reduce the stress on the dam.

[NoNamesOnMe]

Oh my, the lake dried up.

[femaleattraction]

I love this show too.

[benduker]
