| | Semi-OT: Griffith, Nabors, Howard, Lindsay Reunite |
 | | The special will feature the four veterans reminiscing about the series, highlights from the show, and separate interviews with other surviving cast members, including George Lindsay (Goober) and Betty Lynn (Barney's girlfriend, Thelma Lou). |
 | | He later became a regular on "Matlock." Nabors, who joined "The Andy Griffith Show" in 1963, left Mayberry after a year and a half to join the Marines as the star of his own spinoff, "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." Howard has had perhaps the most storied post-Mayberry career. |
 | | He will be joined by former co-stars Howard, 49, who played his red-haired son, Opie, Knots, 79, who portrayed Andy's bumbling deputy Barney Fife, and Nabors, 73, the naive but lovable gas station attendant at Wally's filling station. |
