Andy did call England the old country. So, it could be one of the writers
(or perhaps Andy himself) were of English descent and that got passed down.
With Andy knowing history like he did, I'm surprised he would refer to
England as a country. Well, even my aunt from England

If you had to introduce someone to the Andy Griffith Show, which episode
would you recommend they watch and why?
My answer to that would have to be Man In A Hurry. It think it
exemplifies Mayberry life and it has most of the characters in it.

First, those WBMUTBB T-Shirts turned out real nice. Great job.
Second, I get TAGS in prime time every night-and without commercials. I
simply pull out a DVD and watch it. Now, with the price of a DVD player

This subject has come up over time and it's good that it's here again as
we are now into the color DVDs. I like the colors years because more
characters were developed. We learn more about Mayberry and the

Can anybody tell me of any actor--past present---that could have replaced
Don Knotts (Barney)
If you mean an exact replacement, then of course nobody could fill those
shoes. If you're talking about someone filling in the deputy position
where the show would have been just as funny
I maybe look at things a bit differently. You see, four of my closest
childhood friends all died before their 51st birthday. Don Knotts
(wasn't his first name Jesse?) made it to 81 and that's great. I hope I
make it that far. Had he died 30 years ago, we wouldn't have gotten to

Wow! Big news. Ron Howard has cast Mayberry operator, Sarah in his new

Also, in The Shoplifter episode, is Andy legal in opening the old ladies
coat? He has her to weigh herself, then proceeds to open her coat and show
what she is hiding underneath. That wouldn't be legal today but was it back
then?
Once Andy saw how much she weighed on the scale, this

Glad to see everything is now A-OK in Mayberry. We used to do a lot of
trivia on this board some years back, but this group is too smart to miss
much anymore. So, every time I think I have a hard question, someone comes
up with it, but I'll give it a try with this one, and I do think it's hard!
Al Becker, Al Becker... it's okay if you don't know him. On an episode of
the Real McCoys, his name popped up twice. Seems that before moving to
Mayberry, Al was making bookmarks in Smoky Corners, WV. This episode was
written by Fritzell Greenbaum.

I'm glad to hear there's some fans out there of the color seasons.
Remember, even though Barney was gone, it was still Mayberry after all.
Also, my favorite (funniest) line was from Goober Take A Car Apart. When

In an episode of The Real McCoys first aired in November 1959, Howard McNear
appears as a junk dealer and appears to be wearing the very same barber's
coat as in TAGS. Since McCoys was filmed on the 40 acres lot, this may be
the first wearing of the smock. He could have used it in the Beaver

I heard this throught the grapevine, and I'm NOT one to gossip mind you,

Y'all may know that Myra Koonce is the niece of Elmer Schwamp. Any way, the

Ramona Wiley and Earnest T. Bass. I guess Myra was just crazy

I'd say that Buddy Ebsen had a much longer resume at the time of his

I had asked what Mayberry resident had the same name as a popular rock band
at the time. Hard question and a bit tricky. So now, I'll make it a little
easier with a couple of hints:
1. This was the name of a recurring Mayberry character and it was the exact
full name of the band.
2. The
Phil was the first one to get the correct answer. Replacing Aunt Bee was
Alice Ghostly, playing the part of Sam's cousin, Alice Cooper. And, Alice
Cooper WAS the actual name of the Band. Only years later did the lead
singer take on the name for himself. Good job, Phil.

A few weeks ago, I saw Burke on Mayberry show up on my iTunes podcast
selections. Mr. Burke talks about what happens in a particular episode in
the order of events with very little insight about the actual episode or the
actors. I don't get the point. Why listen to somewhat describe an episode
I agree with Wikipedia. TAGS is not a true spin-off, but a variant of a
spin-off. Nobody from TAGS was a main or supporting character of the Danny
Thomas Show. Not a true spin-off. See Wikipedia for much detail on the
subject.

My laugh of the day: I was watching a 2009 episode of the TV show Inside
American Jail and the police brought in a guy who was clearly intoxicated.
As he was escorted to his jail cell, he shouts out, ANDY, WHERE IS THE KEY
TO THE CELL? Then he said something about him being Otis. Loved it!
At the beginning of A Date For Gomer in season four, the opening scene
shows Andy and Opie coming out of the barber shop with Andy commenting about
Floyd not getting all the hairs around his neck cleared away. The barber in
the shop is definitely not Howard McNear. Question is, has anybody ever
