Harvey quote

That reminds me of something said by Elwood P. Dowd (Played by James Steward) in Harvey: Years ago my mother used to say to me, ...'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. Don Good (who sometimes is neither) Don, that

Hey, Mayberry friends. I was doing some banking business recently, and before I left the lady helping me said Here's a manila folder to keep your papers in. I replied, I haven't seen one of these since Dewey took Manila. She smiled but obviously didn't know what I was talking about. Another

Mayberry Businesses

Crimes solved

I'm trying to think of all the crimes solved by Andy and Barney besides chicken thieves and what not - real criminals for their jail. I'm thinking of those brought in without the help of the state police. 1. They captured the thief who was trying to make off with Mrs. Mendlebright's money (

Thanks for noting the anniversary of the Case of the Punch in the Nose. That is my favorite episode. However there is one laugh out loud scene that gets me but I don't see it often. It's the scene where Andy and Howard are tied up in the cabin with Otis in a stupor outside the window. Andy asks

Don't forget Mark Twain being mentioned. Calvin Coolidge took credit for what Mark Twain said about the weather. General Robert E. Lee was mentioned in connection with a portrait of him shaking hands with someone's great-great granddaddy. I could look up the details but I'm too tired right now.

Dogs, dogs, dogs

I was watching Dogs, Dogs, Dogs yesterday and wondered if any of the TAGS lines were ad libbed? When Barney puts the dogs into the car and goes around to the other side, he tells the Airedale, Move over, I'm driving. That seems like an ad lib to me. It seems like such an unimportant line, but

Refusing to sing

Who else refused to sing? Brad Neil Bentley Cunningham Does Jim Lindsay refusing to play the guitar count? How about criminals who wouldn't tell on their buddies? Barney said he was called a lot of things, but never a tattle-tale, so I guess he refused to sing. I know I'm taking liberties with

I just finished reading Bryson City Tales by Walt Larimore, MD. It is a book about a doctor's first year of practice in Bryson City, NC. It reminded me a lot of Mayberry. It's a good summer read for anyone who enjoys stories of a small city and colorful characters like our Mayberry friends.
