Anyone else notice the similarities between TAGS and "Leave It To Beaver?" One was set in Mayberry - one in Mayfield. Both Opie and the Beaver seemed to have the same teacher every year, at least through elementary school - Miss Crump and Miss Landers, respectively. Both shows had strong moral and family values, and usually a good lesson in each episode. In the 80's there were reunion shows for both - "Still the Beaver" in 1983 and "Return to Mayberry" in 1986. Opie and the Beaver seemed to have this thing about public servants - Beaver often hung out with Gus at the fire station and Opie was always hanging out at the court house with the sheriff. And speaking of Gus, he was played by Burt Mustin, who was Jud on TAGS. And let's not forget Doris Packer, Mayberry's own Mrs. Wiley, following her previous life as Beaver's school pricipal, Mrs. Rayburn. What else and whom else am I missing?
