 DVD Verdict Review - The Andy Griffith Show: The Complete First Season
Since Griffith had established himself as a monologist before this series came about, we're seeing an expert at work, and these entertaining interludes are all the more to be relished because they're the kind of thing we almost never see any more in television comedy.
Griffith's performance in this first year of the show's run is more broad, both in accent and in how he plays comedy; there's more of the golly-gee good ol' boy here than we would see in later seasons.
The expected grain and (minor) flicker are often present, but in most episodes the fl-and-white picture is surprisingly clean and crisply detailed, and the mono soundtrack is likewise well balanced, clear of background hiss or noise, and with some nice depth and resonance in the the theme song.

 D.W. Griffith in Black and White - Was the Birth of a Nation director really a racist? By Bryan Curtis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
And yet Griffith thought his copious research and reliance on historical documents was turning the film toward a definitive historical account—and away from the one-sided versions of Reconstruction that had been penned by Northern historians.
What all this suggests is that Griffith had no well-formed inner politics and that whatever ideology he put on the screen was malleable to the social whim of the moment (or whatever books he was reading).
Indeed, many of Griffith's technical achievements – his development and perfection of the close-up, the point-of-view shot, etc. – are noteworthy for their ability to single out and focus our attention on the thoughts and feelings of individual characters placed within large, often chaotic settings.
