Opie's mom?
My daughter is watching Andy right now and asked about what happened to Opie's mom. I told her I did not know. Does anyone know?

Seems to me I remember some illusion to the fact that she died, but I don't know how old Opie was when that was suppose to have happened.

I think it's kind of odd that both Andy's wife and mother died. Aunt Bee raised Andy, too. Maybe the writers did that as a sort of "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" or credential for Aunt Bee.

In the pilot episode of TAGS on "Make Room for Daddy" (Danny Thomas Show), Opie's turtle gets stepped on and dies. That's when Andy told him that his Ma died when he was a baby. Opie replies, "Who stepped on her?"
Thats the first time we hear of Opie's mom dying. I'm sure it's mentioned on the show again but I can't remember which episode.

Classic Lines: They're Getting Older AND Better!
I think we may have done something like this before but it's always fun to revisit some of the classic lines from TAGS. Those immortal words that live on in the hearts and funny bones of us fans are definitely worth remembering. Let's list some…See More
"Good info, Janice. Somewhere, I saw a trailer made before the first episode aired, I believe, that showed Andy and Barney either raising or lowering the flag. It might have been in the first episode. But that was a great way to end…"
