Which studio was a production location for the show from 1967 to 1968?

Paramount Studios was a production location for The Andy Griffith Show from 1967 to 1968.

The series began production at Desilu Studios in Culver City, California, while many exterior scenes were filmed at the Forty Acres backlot. That location was also famous for appearing in other productions, including Gone with the Wind and later television series.

The studio listing can cause confusion because the show’s production base changed late in its run. Desilu Culver is associated with 1960–1967, while Paramount Studios is listed for 1967–1968, covering the program’s eighth and final season. The show remained set in fictional Mayberry, North Carolina; the studio location describes where the television production was made, not where the story took place.

The Andy Griffith Show aired from 1960 through 1968 and produced 249 episodes. Its final season was filmed in color, another reason viewers sometimes associate the late episodes with a different production era.
