The Andy Grifith Show signs off | season 8 episode 30
The Andy Griffith Show is an American sitcom which aired on CBS from October 3, 1960 to April 1, 1968, with a total of 249 half-hour episodes spanning over eight seasons. It stars Andy Griffith, who portrays the widowed sheriff of the fictional small community of Mayberry, North Carolina. His life is complicated by an inept but well-meaning deputy, Barney Fife, Don Knotts, Aunt Bee, Frances Bavier, a spinster aunt and housekeeper, and Opie, Ron Howard, a precocious young son. Eccentric friends and temperamental girlfriends further complicate his life. Regarding the tone of the show, Griffith said that despite a contemporary setting, the show evoked nostalgia, stating in a Today Show interview: "Well, though we never said it, and though it was shot in the 1960s, it had a feeling of the 1930s. It was, when we were doing it, of a time gone by.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - 1939 - starring Jimmy Stewart
Jimmy Stewart Captures Americana
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) premiered months after America went to war. Producer/director Frank Capra's classic comedy-drama establishes James Stewart as a leading actor with this film, the fifth film he has made in 1939. He is again teamed with his co-star Jean Arthur from 1938s Best Picture winner, Capra's You Can't Take It With You. Stewart's character represents the powerful forces of American freedom, democracy and morality over oppression and evil in his emotional portrait of a naive, idealist, patriotic young politician who, after being sent to Washington as a junior senator, matures in wisdom, fights political corruption within his state's political machine, and guarded American values as a moral hero.
