Return to Mayberry is an American television reunion movie for the 1960s American sitcoms The Andy Griffith Show and, to an extent, Mayberry R.F.D. as well. The movie premiered on April 13, 1986, on NBC, and was the highest-rated telemovie of 1986. Sixteen of the original cast members reunited for the movie. Its success could have led to additional Mayberry programs, but Griffith was committed to Matlock for the 1986-87 season.
