Frequently on the WBMUTBB digest, people write in about characters from Andy
showing up on other TV shows.
But I think this is probably a record, or at least ties for one.
Last night my wife and I watched a Bonanza episode titled "The Trail Gang."
On this episode of Bonanza, there are THREE actors who also appeared on Andy.
Henry Wheeler - Who handyman who sprayed the Taylor's roses and with alterior
motives tried to woo Aunt Bee
(Edgar Buchanan)
-Plays the cook on this bonanza episode
Uncle Ollie - Andy's uncle who talks big about chasing outlaws with Andy until
Andy calls his bluff and he piles the family in the car and leaves town (James
Westerfield)
-Plays sheriff Logan
Fred Walker- Ellie Walker's Uncle and the drug store owner in the early days of
Andy (Harry Antrim)
-Plays Judge Armbruster
I thought it was pretty neat that so many Andy characters were in one episode
of
Bonanza. I doubt there is another single episode of another show that has more
than three Andy characters. Someone may know of one?
It is always fun when a character from the greatest show of all shows up
somewhere else to take you back to Mayberry:)
Timothy and Lindsey in Arkansas.
