Two years ago on this page I introduced you to Knoxville, Tenn., resident Bo Pierce, who dresses up as Briscoe Darling complete with moonshine jug. Mayberry Days draws folks from far and near, including some who dress up as Mayberry characters, march in the parade and then prowl about town. This yearвЂ™s edition kicked off Saturday with a country-music concert downtown and heats up this week with lectures, music concerts and the big Saturday-morning parade downtown. The most brilliant marketing idea of all is Mount AiryвЂ™s Mayberry Days, an annual town street festival about all things Mayberry. Fans and others with just a casual interest alike flock to Granite City.

Mayberry-themed stores include BarneyвЂ™s Cafe and The Loaded Goat grill, a takeoff on a favorite Griffith TV episode. Mayberry memorabilia and nostalgia, from T-shirts to coffee mugs to posters, abound on Main Street Mount Airy. Griffith, the actor, was born and reared in Mount Airy, and in one marketing stroke of genius GriffithвЂ™s boyhood home now is a bed-and-breakfast available to everyone. In the process Granite City has had a hand in keeping Mayberry mania alive to delight new generations. Since the 1990s Mount Airy has skillfully marketed itself as real-life Mayberry from the Griffith show.

вЂњStar TrekвЂќ partisans still have something to say on this, especially at their fan conventions and comic-cons.Д«ut no single TV series has played as long and more often than вЂњAndy.вЂќ Sixty years after the Griffith show first aired on CBS, it airs as much as ever on multiple nostalgia TV networks at multiple times. The most enduring TV show of all time is вЂњThe Andy Griffith Show.вЂќ ItвЂ™s time to just come right out and say it.
