Did they have any blacks on that show? If they did, then they could have said they had “colored” episodes.

That’s actually a very good question. Andy Griffith (the person, not the character) was very liberal. Yet there were almost no blacks on his show in the early seasons.
The few blacks who did appear were in the background, standing in a crowd. Griffith could have pushed the issue. He certainly had the clout. He could have argued that there were many blacks in small southern towns like Mayberry. So why not include them?
But like a typical liberal, Griffith talked big but did little.
