Even though they don't make TV like they used to, I still watch a lot of modern day television. But you can imagine my surprise when I saw "Desperate Housewives" last night, and Lynette (Felicity Huffman) was trying to convince a skeptical police detective that a guy across the street was up to no good. She eventually got frustrated and called him...you guessed it..."Barney Fife." That's definitely one place I never expected to hear a Mayberry reference. (There *is* a Mayfield reference on Wisteria Lane, though: the Cleaver House is in the neighborhood.)
Did I mention the Mayberry reference in the movie trailer for the big screen "Reno 911: Miami"? The deputy called Junior quips that riding the streets of Reno is a lot like Mayberry, except "everyone's on meth and prostitution is legal."
