Neil Bentley, you noted some fine political debates, Thank you!! Yes Aunt Bee did do a good job then, and also as someone mentioned, in the Mr. Frisbee Eviction informal debate with Andy. (Aunt Bee the Crusader). She had several good debates with Andy. One of them ended with him saying "Call the Man!"
Barney was a great relentless debater also. Remember the Motorcycle episode? He just seemed to wear Andy down...like he did with his slingshot in the courthouse debate. Now I'll tell you another good debater. Helen Crump! With that in mind, let me comment on this post. >>anyone know any personal info on the lady that played Helen Crump, Anita Corsette (spl?). I haven't googled her, but I've never seen much about her personally. I must admit, I never liked her character much, and felt Andy could have had a nicer girlfriend. She always seemed to be in a bad mood. My ex wife was like that a lot!!!!!!<<<< Ttown, buddy it sounds like you've got some issues there, but lets not take it out on Helen Crump, OK. As a man (I shave and wear aftershave) I used to think Helen was kind of grouchy also...BUT if you watch carefully, most of the times she was upset, Andy deserved it. Like when he lied to her about Lee Drake, or the Fun Girls, or Gloria, or got out of shape because of her attention as an author, or when she beat him at bowling and her niece beat Opie at sports, need I go on? I do think Andy was on more solid ground with Frank, and why she was sitting on the same side of the booth with him, after working on that blamed gradin manual, but most of the time, Andy made mistakes we guys all make, and deserved a little anger. If you'll remember the same thing happened with Ellie (when he thought she was on the hunt for him and he tried to pawn other guys off on her) and Peg (when Opie's little games caused a rift, and when he thought the fact that she was rich would be a problem) and even Karen, Thelma Lou's cousin, because he expected he to be a stereo-typical women, instead of a better shooter than him. Aneta Corsaut has a modest but impressive list of TV and Movie Appearances. Cancer ended her life too soon, before she could enjoy the adoration of Mayberry fans that many of the stars did and continue to.
