'The Andy Griffith Show Christmas Special' Online: How To Live Stream CBS Color Presentation
CBS is set to air The Andy Griffith Show Christmas Special tonight - find out when and where to watch it.
As the network has done with I Love Lucy, CBS viewers will get to see The Andy Griffith Show in full color tonight. CBS is airing two classic Andy Griffith Show episodes starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The first episode is The Christmas Story, which originally aired on Dec. 19, 1960. The episode "finds Andy and Barney planning a joyful holiday at home with friends and family, only to have the town Scrooge insist that Andy lock up one of the community's known moonshiners," says the episode description. "With a prisoner in custody, either Andy or Barney will have to stand guard. If Andy cannot be home for Christmas, maybe Christmas can come to Andy."
The second episode is The Pickle Story, which was broadcast on Dec. 18, 1961. In this episode, "Aunt Bea whips up a batch of homemade pickles that leaves much to be desired in the way of taste. Not wanting to hurt her feelings, Andy and Barney secretly switch her pickles with the store-bought variety. Everyone raves, and Bea soon decides to enter a jar in the competition at the county fair, leaving Andy and Barney in a bit of a 'pickle.'"
The Andy Griffith Show Christmas Special begins at 8 p.m. ET/PT and lasts one hour. But what if you're not near a TV at that time and want to see it?
