Essay
My English/Language Arts class has been reading and watching both of these shows and stories. “The Andy Griffith Show”, was produced in the Early 1960s, it is a TV sitcom based on an older sitcom called “ The Danny Thomas Show”. As i have done researched on this sitcom, i have come to realize that the sitcom has only produced a total of 249 half-hour episodes spanning over 8 seasons. “ The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street”, is episode 22 in the first season of “The Twilight Zone”. It was an episode that originally aired on March 4,1960. In 2009, TIME named it one of the top 10 best Twilight Zone episodes. My task is to compare and contrast the two shows. Finish reading for the results. The similarities of “The Monsters” and “Andy Show” are: they both have unfamiliar creatures coming to their town. Another is that they both have a big amount of people in their town. Unfamiliar things keep occurring. Also, they don’t expect these people/aliens to show up. In the end of both shows, they figure out what’s happening/been happening the whole time. There is one more similarity that is not in the story or sitcom, it is that they both were produced in the Early 1960s. …show more content…
One difference is that an actual human shows up in the “Andy Show’’. In “Monsters”, the aliens don’t have to come down to Maple Street, because they figured out a way to manipulate the residents into leaving their street. Another difference is that in “The Andy Show”,nobody turns against each other. They work as a team. At the end of “The Andy Show”, they figured out the solution to their problem, but at the end of “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” they did not. As like the similarities, the producers of both “The Monsters” and “Andy” were totally different
