I hope that George Lindsey isn't bitter over his role as Goober. That
kind of thing reminds me of an interview I read once. A reporter asked Boris
Karloff if he resented being typecast as Frankenstein's monster. Karloff
replied that playing the monster gave him fame and fortune far beyond what
his acting talents would have ever done, and he never objected to any request
to reprise the role, even in a spoof. To me, that's class, and I'd like to
think George Lindsey feels the same about Goober.

In 1991, I was eating lunch at a Cracker Barrel in Nashville and I saw
George Lindsey eating at a table by himself. Being "star-struck" at the
moment, I went over and asked him for his autograph. He stopped eating, asked
my name, signed the autograph, shook my hand, and said, "Nice meeting you."
Sounds like a pretty nice guy to me.

Well Lisa, I can think of another Barney's Asleep scene where he was sleeping
on the bench in front of the courthouse - Andy put lipstick on Barneys hand
and then started tickling him on the face with a feather (a buzzard feather I
think) and Barney would swat at the feather in his sleep and got lipstick
all over his face. What a dumb trick.

A rumor went around that Barney had shot himself when really all that happened
was he had a miniscule scratch from cleaning his gun. Emma Brand (or Watson)
reported that she'd been murdered by that mean, mean lady druggist- which by
the way is one of my favorite episodes - it is hilarious from beginning to end,
and I just scream with laughter when Emma tries to sneak in to get her pills
and you can see the feathers in her hat bobbing along
above the counter. Tom Silby ran away from home and his wife gave him the most
beautiful fake funeral you ever did see. Andy told Tom he couldn't come back
after he was "GONE". It is apparently bad manners! In the episode about the
haunted house, Gomer told Barney that he guessed he was the sheriff since Andy
had disappeared. I think this one is right but I may be mistaken. I think
that everyone thought that Jimmy the Loaded Goat was dead
after he ate too much dynamite and they heard a "BLOOEY" out of town - but
Jimmy was okay.

Who all in Mayberry was either rumored to be dead but wasn't, or was
dupedinto thinking they were dead or
dying?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------People
who were rumored to be dead, but were not:1 Tom Silby in "Opie's
Charity" - his wife Annabelle told everyone he was run over by a taxi cab
and even had a funeral for him because she didn't want anyone to know he
had left her.2. Barney in "Those Gossipin' Men - he cut his finger on his
gun and by the time the rumor made it around town, he was said to be dead
by shooting himself in the
chest.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------People
who thought they were dead or dying:1. Emma Brand Watson (I can't
remember which name she was using at the time) thought she was dying in
the episode where Ellie comes to town because Ellie won't give her her
pills without a prescription.2. Otis thinks he is dead in the episode
where he buys a car and Andy and Barney try to teach him a lesson about
drinking and
driving.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I
wonder if the Widow Bradshaw who lived in the mountains near Ernest T. is
the same Widow Bradshaw from "The Beverly
Hillbillies".-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mary

Our youth Pastor, his wife as well as myself are all Andy Griffith
trivia Nuts. Although he and I are both pretty good, not a Paul by any
means, and his wife blows the both of us away. He asked me such a simple
trivia question and I simply could not come up with the answer knowing I had
heard it a hundred times. By the end of the day I looked like Barney trying
to recite the Emancipation Proclamation. In the episode "Citizen Arrest" The
question is, what does Barney call Gomer when Andy comes out of the
courthouse to see what all the commotion was about and Barney is relaying
the story to Andy?
I may be just plumb old dumb, but for the life of me I was stumped. Is it
that easy fir everybody else? No fair looking it up.
