Often cited in lists of shows that "failed" or were "cancelled" quickly, this series actually ended before it ever aired, because of a creative disagreement between Andy Griffith and the network. The network wanted a more action oriented show with fights and chases, while Griffith wanted a more reserved tone. Unable to come to an agreement, Griffith and/or the network pulled the plug on the project. The two episodes which had been filmed as Griffith preferred both aired to very high ratings, but the project wasn't revived.
