If one was to dig deep enough I bet there are Biblical foundations for most of them.....Patty Haley
Yes, Patty you are right. I am a retired Pastor turned Stand up comedian..Several times I applied mayberry people or happenings to my messages from the Pulpit...The one I Preached the most "Our Purpose For Living"..comparing Barney Fife to Solomon..Just read the short book of Ecclesiastes and see how how much Solomon wanted to succeed at whatever he did and think of Barney. All the things he tried with so much desire to succeed, being a deputy, his romances, salesman ship, and many areas, just like Solomon kept trying to succeed. Today I watch TAGS and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. and glean ideas for an occasional joke and apply it to some make believe person...TAGS was a very special show...more so than even we can comprehend...There is so much that can be applied even today to any number of situations and I think that has something to do with it's popularity. I don't have a favorite phrase that I use but my favorite line from an actor in TAGS came from Opie. "If honesty is such a good policy why am I out a cap pistol..."
