We all know that on Andy there were hundreds of people who were mentioned but were never seen. Viola Slatt and my Martha for two. But I think I have discovered the only person who was mentioned 4 times on Andy and never shown. That would be Earl Gilley. Once Fred Goss stated, in the show "Wedding Bells for Aunt Bea", that he had found a poker chip in Earl Gilley's pants pocket while he was cleaning it. Then in the show "The Jinx", Andy says that Earl Gilley caulked his boat before it sank. When Opie's baseball team is playing for the championship, Andy is forced to umpire because Earl Gilley who was supposed to umpire did not show up. Finally in the show about Goober's contest, at the start of the show, Goober briefly mentions to Andy that Earl Gilley runs a filling station out on the highway.
Can anyone else think of a person who was mentioned 4 times but never shown? I would have a hard time even thinking of someone who was mentioned twice. Orville Hendricks - Selling butter and eggs in Mayberry for 50 years. Both of my wives were mentioned on Andy, but neither one was ever shown. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® has a new way to see what's up with your friends. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/WhatsNew?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_WhatsNew1_052009 _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
