Editorial Reviews

The Andy Griffith Show's Mayberry is America's friendliest town. "You gotta understand," says Barney, "this is a small town. The sheriff is more than just a sheriff. He's a friend. The people in this town ain't got no better friend than Andy Taylor."

I'm Proud to Call You My Friend is a gift book containing meaningful quotations and carefully chosen pictures from The Andy Griffith Show that celebrate the warmth and loyalty that comes with true friendship. And everyone is a friend in Mayberry - Andy and Barney, Goober and Gomer, Floyd and Howard Sprague, Aunt Bee and Clara, Helen Crump and Thelma Lou.

Goober: "A man's best friend is not his dog - it's people."

Floyd: "Ooh, you really get to the meat of things, Goober."

Goober: "'Course, I still love dogs."

I'm Proud to Call You My Friend is a wonderful gift for anyone you are proud to call your friend - and want to tell them so.

"Oh, well, we're glad you think we're friendly"---Andy to the manicurist, 2006-01-27
by mwreview (Northern California, USA)
This little quote book would be a nice stocking-stuffer or memento for a friend. It has photos of scenes from The Andy Griffith Show (some of them are color-tinted, which looks kind of tacky) along with quotes on friendship referencing the corresponding episode. If you have other books on TAGS, this one doesn't offer anything new or rare. I bought it because the title is a quote from one of my favorite, and terribly unappreciated, characters Warren Ferguson. Alas, there is only one photo of Warren, a common one from "The Legend of Barney Fife." Knowing that, I probably would not have purchased it. Still, it is a nice, inexpensive gift for the TAGS fan; but nothing more.

Photos include Opie with Johnny Paul and friends selling miracle salve; Ellie Walker giving pills to hypochondriac Emma Watson; Andy jamming with Jim Lindsey; Bob Rogers in "Barney's Replacement"; Mayor Pike, Floyd, Andy, and Barney looking at the new manicurist through the barbershop window; the manicurist; "The Jinx" Henry Bennett and Andy fishing; Andy and Barney being evaluated at the Esquire Club; "Merchant of Mayberry" Bert Miller with Andy; Barney making moulages and Mayor Stoner and company examining the plaster casts in "The Cow Thief"; Andy and Barney at a class reunion; Malcolm Merriweather dodging autos on his bicycle; Andy with Briscoe Darling; Barney with Mrs. Mendelbright; "Andy and Opie's Pal" holding a football; Otis riding a cow; Charles Foley and Floyd in "The Case of the Punch in the Nose"; Ernest T Bass befriending Malcolm Merriweather; Warren, Goober, Barney and Andy next to Barney's 1960 Edsel convertible; Goober guarding the door to "The Lodge"; Howard catching Old Sam; Aunt Bee and Clara; Helen and a bearded Goober; scenes from "Dinner at Eight"; "Howard's New Life"; Opie and Arnold at the ice cream counter.
