Was the American flag ever seen displayed in any manner in Mayberry? The most obvious place is right behind the sheriff's desk in the courthouse. I think Andy even touches it as a hint when Barney is trying to recite the preamble to the Constitution. I think there may have been some on display as well in the episode about the thieves trying to steal artifacts, with Warren and Goober hot on their trail and perhaps in an unassuming spot in one of the candidate debates we saw over the years. I remember the ending to the TV movie "Return to Mayberry" where newly inaugurated Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife are raising a flag on a flagpole. That struck me because there was never a similar scene on the original series, the show never beat patriotism over anyone's head yet we all knew the citizens of Mayberry dearly loved their country.
