Throughout
the show's run Andy had a couple of love
interests, the first was druggist Ellie Walker
and then later schoolteacher Helen Crump whom
Andy ended up marrying in 1968, when Andy
Griffith decided to call it quits with the show
it was still pretty popular and the network
decided to carry it on under the new name of Mayberry
R.F.D, Andy helped with the change over
by appearing in the first episode (it was in
this episode that he married Helen and the pair
then moved away from the town). 
There
were two spin offs from the series, the
1964 sitcom Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C
(which concerned the Gomer Pyle character played
by Jim Nabors joining the marines, Pyle was the
gas pump attendant in Mayberry) and also in 1965
The Don Knotts Show ( a variety
series).
