Now, more than 60 years later, the original 249 episodes still remain among the most frequently watched television shows-and its stars, Ron Howard, Don Knotts, Jim Nabors, and of course, Andy Griffith, live on in popular culture. Neal Brower, long time superfan and show expert, has been writing and even teaching courses about \u003ci\u003eThe Andy Griffith Show\u003c\/i\u003e for over thirty years. He has made it his mission to gather the lore about the show and especially about the writing and production of the scripts. Brower interviewed many of the show's writers including Harvey Bullock, Everett Greenbaum, Sam Bobrick, and their partners and collected his findings in his 2011 book, \u003ci\u003eMayberry 101\u003c\/i\u003e.
