More retro rewinds

“The Andy Griffith Show” (Peacock, streaming): Though it’s long been a staple of cable outlets, this much-loved series now has “select seasons” available on this streaming service. Griffith transferred his homespun appeal into the character of Andy Taylor, the easygoing Mayberry sheriff gently handling a variety of situations as a lawman and as a single parent (with “Ronny” Howard as his young son Opie). Don Knotts generated another of TV comedy’s iconic characters as high-strung Deputy Barney Fife, with Frances Bavier as sweet homefront staple Aunt Bee.

“Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.” (Catchy Comedy, Sunday, April 28): Speaking of “The Andy Griffith Show,” it spun off this sitcom that became a major hit for CBS. The title stars Jim Nabors, whose likably naive title character entered the United States Marine Corps and found endless ways to confound his commanding officer, no-nonsense Sergeant Carter (Frank Sutton). As a weekend marathon of the show continues here, cast regulars also include Ronnie Schell and Allan Melvin.

“Road to Perdition” (MGM+, Sunday, April 28): A number of stars in atypical roles are among the highlights of director Sam Mendes’ effective 2002 version of a graphic novel. Tom Hanks is much more reserved than usual as a Depression-era deputy to a mob boss (Paul Newman) who seeks revenge after being betrayed brutally. Daniel Craig, who later reteamed with Mendes on two James Bond adventures, is anything but 007-like as Newman’s sniveling but lethal son. Jude Law also makes an impact as a photography-loving hit man.
