Whatever Happened to Andy Griffith’s Space Series ‘Salvage 1’?

When most people hear the name Andy Griffith, they don’t normally think about science fiction. Instead, it’s more likely they are reminded of Andy Taylor, the sheriff of everyone’s favorite small town, Mayberry, North Carolina.

That’s because reruns of The Andy Griffith Show have been playing pretty much non-stop since the series ended in 1968 (most regularly on MeTV). For whatever reason, this wonderful show somehow manages to set the heart at ease even in our modern, chaotic world while still eliciting more than a handful of chuckles in each episode.
