Our refrigerator had been acting up and seemed like it was in need of
being repaired. When I was trying to tell my husband about the
refrigerator, he looked at me and said, "Honey, why don't you just call
the man?". I did exactly that-called the man and the problem was soon
taken care of. I
My favorite color episode would be Dinner At Eight. No matter how many times I

I would say that the reason Gilligan and the Skipper are connected to Mayberry
is this: Bob Denver (Gilligan) played Dud Wash in the episode where Charlene
divorced him and Barney had to ride the white horse from east to west. Alan
Hale Jr. (Skipper) played Jeff Pruitt in the episode where he
I think the two family members of Barney's who were seen on the show were
Cousin Virgil and Barney's mother. I didn't even have a bucket on my head to
come up with the answer.

Recently, one of the appliances in our house needed repairing. I was telling
my husband about the appliance acting up and he said you know what to
do-Call the Man!! So, that's what I did. I called the man and he fixed the

For the past several months, I have had the privilege of accompanying the

I believe that the word sex was seen on a sign in the episode where Ellie

women holding signs, one of which I believe said something to the effect of

I could be wrong about this (after all, I don't have a bucket on my head
right now) but in the episode Alcohol and Old Lace, I think there was a
mention of a birthday. A gentleman went to the Morrison sisters' house to
buy some elixir and as the gentleman was leaving, one of the ladies said

I don't recall seeing any evidence of air conditioning in Mayberry but it was
mentioned one time that I can remember. In the episode Howard The Bowler,
the electricity goes out at the bowling alley just as Howard is about to throw
his bowling ball. Andy tries to find out what happened and
