Any talk from Paramount of releasing this after season 8 of The Andy Griffith Show since it is in a way a contination of the first series.

I think that RFD was produced by Warner, so we're not likely to see it anytime soon.

I would buy the first season of MAYBERRY, RFD.
Griffith made a handful of appearances and the first episode has Andy getting married to Helen with Barney as Best Man.

Two years? Seriously? If you were saying it was coming out, I would understand, but really now? Come on...
