"I firmly believe that each of the episodes (the Andy Griffith Show) offers up a real moral code that we should all aspire to live by. Smitty and I watch the show every night." - Terry Eldredge

Edredge is a longtime fan of the show and confesses to have seen each episode numerous times. "The Andy Griffith Show had a moral lesson that every human being should live by," Eldredge comments. "It's an honor and privilege to be associated with the best TV show ever made. It was - and still is - awesome family entertainment."

Thoughtful, sincere and with a dash of humor, their message always rooted itself in doing the right thing and upholding Mayberry's small-town values.
