Single Episode Appearances
Here are a few one time appearance Mayberry folks that came to mind. I too am sure there must be more. Bert Miller the peddler only appeared once. Never got to see him working for Ben Weaver. Mrs. Mendlebright, Barney's landlady only appeared once, and Hawthorne even made her house for a village piece. Frankie Flint and her Paw only appeared once. McNally only appeared once, although he came back as a different character. Mrs Lucken who owned the woman's clothing store. Owner of the hardware store who sold Andy the canning jars. Real estate agent who helped Howard buy Floyd's building. Mr. Crawford who gave Opie the job at the drugstore. Quiet Sam never appeared once his son was born. Tom Silbey and Annabelle never showed up after he reappeared from the dead. Frank Myers was only in the episode where he was evicted. Jimmy the Goat never returned to Mayberry after eating the dynamite. Maybe they had a restraining order on him. The Boones never reappeard. Henry Bennett the jinx was a one time appearance.

Re: Mayberry County's government
Someone else here said the show's writers wrote from the heart, not by the book (to paraphrase Barney), and I've said before, this was a sitcom, not a civics lesson, so there are a lot of unanswered questions concerning governmental matters in the township/county of Mayberry. I submit that perhaps Mayberry County had an early form of what we would now call a metro form of government--one body making decisions for the entire county, no separate city council/county commission, etc. (Mayberry ahead of its time?) If Andy and Barney worked for the county, they'd report to the county commission, not the mayor or council (which they'd do if they were a police chief and patrolman). But in a metro government they'd report to one board and there might even be a mayor that serves all or most of the municipality. *** If Andy and Barney are county employees why do they have to submit all reports etc to the town Mayor?*** Perhaps partly due to the metro government setup, and perhaps because the mayor was always threatening to cut funding to the sheriff's department. Clearly the mayor can't fire Andy, only the voters can. The mayor seems to think differently but then again his political tone deafness is a big part of his character. I can't imagine Mayor Stoner ever getting re-elected. The mayor was also always threatening to tell on Andy to the governor, so that's why I think it was all about funding. Clearly the writers wanted an antagonist for Andy and that's why prickly Mayor Stoner showed up. But that's not easy when Andy himself is really the boss and the viewers know it. ***Why does Mayor Stoner get to decide if the town band can go to Raleigh? Shouldn't the council vote on that?*** There are some decisions that can be made solely by the mayor. Maybe the band went previously due to a discretionary fund allocated by the mayor and this time he said no. ***How can Sam Jones be head of the town council when he lives outside the city limits?*** Again, same reason as Andy taking Barney's resignation to the town council...Mayberry (possibly) had a metro form of government. Of course calling it the town council doesn't make a lot of sense but maybe that's more out of tradition. ***How do Mayors Stoner and Pike get by with all those impromptu meetings without following open meeting rules?*** Because no one ever called them on it, and that would've made a great episode. (Gomer once made a citizen's arrest so he'd be a great candidate to make a complaint.) But the show never was that big on such social commentary. ***Why do Andy and Barney get to vote on council matters, like selling the canyon? Doubt if they are actual members of the council.*** The biggest unresolved issue of the whole list, I would think. Most likely a dramatic device showing Andy and Barney reluctantly coming on board, but it makes no sense in the plot. If Andy is Sheriff of the county of Mayberry why does he do all his sheriffing in and around Mayberry only? Aren't there other towns in the County of Mayberry?*** We never heard if Mayberry County had any other towns in it. And we do see quite a few scenes with Andy or Barney taking their squad car way out into the country, as a real life sheriff in the South most likely would. A moonshiner firing shots at people to keep them away from his yard, probably wouldn't have done that two blocks from downtown Mayberry. ***When Barney decided to run for Sheriff, he hadn't filed papers yet. If he still had time to file his papers, why couldn't Andy have time to file his?*** As I recall Barney filed his papers at the last minute, then the deadline, then Andy found out he didn't get the job. Andy was perhaps foolish for not filing papers, he could always withdraw later. Yes, I admit some of these are a stretch but like I said, the writers weren't trying to write civics lessons.

suspicious of Ken
Lately Ken's stories have been more about his job at the store than they've been about his preaching and I'm a little worried about him. I'm afraid that he might be nipping while he is bagging. Yoiu can't do that Ken, you can't nip-it while you are bagging-it, Ken, not even if you're wearing a suite and tie. I might have to go under cover, go to Eue Clair, and check that out.

Funniest Episode
Now my husband thinks the two funniest episodes are Barney and the Motorcycle The Darlings are Coming. I like Opies Charity poor horatio, and Man in a Hurry. Imagine being stuck somewhere where you can't use the phone to call for help, because the Mendlebright sisters are discussing their feet falling asleep. I love it.

Aunt Bee's Medicine Man and Harriet's List
I just finished watching Aunt Bee's Medicine Man and it brought to mind a question. Barney drops Andy off at his house and then leaves to go pick up Colonel Harvey. If Barney has the car, how did Andy get all those tidily women to the courthouse? They could barely stand up. Aunt Bee asked the Colonel to address the ladies church group. Now on Thursday I am addressing a church senior fellowship group. Sure wish I had a few bottles of the Indian Elixir to take along to liven things up. I can't even make smoke come out of my ears. I think a movie should be made from the list of things to do in Mayberry that Harriet came up with. What a great job she did with that. It could be titled The Mayberry List and it sure would be one up on The Bucket List. It would have to be a series though to accomplish all those things in just one movie. Three cheers for Harriet .

Re: thelma lou, ken, and old times
I always wondered where Thelma Lou worked. She would get off early, about the time Opie got out of school and she came from the direction of school. I thought she might have taught or was the secretary. I don't think Ken hogged anything. He has great contributions and knows. A lot about Andy show. I think it is awesome he does the presentation about Andy and all. I think a lot about Andy and all he has given us. There is only one movie he did I didn't like. It was the one where he played a murderer and he was executed and they shaved his head. It was the point of him getting killed, and I consider Andy family. We have got away from many things besides work ethics. Things like hats and dressing up and women wearing gloves and hankies. Andy still gives us that and I think that is why the show remains so strong.

Re: my father
Recently, my daddy passed away. And, when I mentioned it, I received emails of condolences. I appreciated that. At the funeral, which I played guitar and banjo, I spoke. I talked about needing my daddy always and all. But, I also talked about Daddy and me fishing. We went on Saturdays. I always wanted to know where Andy and Opie were. Daddy always said they had come earlier or was on the other side of the lake or river. I will always treasure time I had and a lot of it was spent watching Andy.

Re: recurring characters
Well, now, strictly speaking, we did see Bill Matthews again. He played young Jimmy Morgan who was accused of stealing Wally's tools in The Great Filling Station Robbery. Mr. Schwamp I just hate it when you get obtuse. While watching Stranger in Town this morning, I got to thinking about people who lived in Mayberry who only appeared one time on Andy. In this show, there was Lucy Matthews and her brother Bill. They had big parts in this show, but were never seen again.
