That's how Charles Kuralt describes Mayberry, N.C., Andy Griffith's TV home town between 1960 and '68. In this hour, Griffith reminisces about the show with Don Knotts (Barney Fife), Ron Howard (Opie), Jim Nabors and George Lindsey (Gomer and Goober Pyle) and Jack Dodds (Howard Sprague). There are also recollections by series creator Sheldon Leonard; clips from the show (including Sheriff Taylor's introduction-on Danny Thomas's Make Room for Daddy); and on-set home movies taken by Howard's parents.

Agnes Nixon, Bill Bell and the late Ima Phillips are honored in film tributes to creators of daytime serials, once known as "soap stories," "suffering sagas," "washboard weepers" and ultimately "soap operas," after soap manufacturers became major sponsors. The gala also includes a salute to brides, with daytime stars modeling their characters' original wedding gowns; a look at soap-opera bloopers; clips of romances and weddings, villains and victims; and segments on social relevance in the soaps, enduring families, and American serials televised around the world.
