  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: The Andy Griffith Show
It was producer Aaron Ruben (writer for The Phil Silvers Show), Sheldon Leonard (producer of The Danny Thomas Show) and Andy Griffith's attention to the scripts that made the series as engaging as it was flat-out funny.
The show operated on at least two levels: there were the corny, nitwit antics of the supporting players, who provided most of the humor, and there was also the straightforward presentation of the occasional story involving a criminal to be caught or a love interest to be established.
Andy rarely wore his full uniform and almost never carried a weapon, as opposed to Barney, who was never seen on duty without his cap and tie and was so anxious to use his gun, he had to carry the sole bullet Andy allowed him in his shirt pocket for safety.

As she extols Williams to relax and remain in his chair, the effect is almost too cute, but it is hard not to smile at Bailey's cool, seemingly effortless performance.
Williams and Tony Bennett seem to have a great time singing a medley of "place" songs like "Chicago." Henry Mancini then conducts his orchestra while Williams sings "In the Arms of Love." There is even a dance break in which - no kidding - Mancini and Williams do a little waltz.

 Andy Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Williams and his three older brothers Bob, Dick, and Don, formed a quartet, the Williams Brothers, in the late 1930s, and they performed on radio in the Midwest, first at WHO in Des Moines, Iowa, and later at WLS in Chicago and WLW in Cincinnati.
During the 1960s, Williams became one of the most popular vocalists in the country and was signed to what was at that time the biggest recording contract in history.
Williams was asked to sing Mancini and Johnny Mercer's song "Moon River" at the 1962 Oscar Awards (where it won), and it quickly became Williams's theme song.
