I have loved Old Time Radio for many years and go through spells of listening to various programs, especially comedies like "Gildersleeve." It is interesting to learn of connections with TAGS.
I really enjoyed the last couple of Two Chairs podcasts and the tie in to The Great Gildersleeve. My blind grandmother who lived to be 99 years old, loved listening to the Gildersleeve radio show. She loved to hear him laugh and it would set her to giggling and laughing herself. I remember buying her a 78 record of Gildersleeve for her birthday or Christmas one year. I became hooked after listening to a couple of the shows and have been listening to them ever since. I think there are over 500 of the old Gildersleeve shows and before that, Gildersleeve was a character on Fibber Magee and Mollie radio show. You can listen to at least 100 of these shows by going to the following link:

Again, thanks Allan for the connection.
John, I think we would all agree with that!
There is NEVER enough Mayberry
That's good to know Andy gets something from the sale of Mayberry products. So we are part of his retirement package!
Hey John,
Yes...that is true of ALL the cast...even Andy. None of them get residuals from the show. Andy sold his rights to TAGS back in the 1970's but he still has the rights to all the characters and their likenesses ( with a few exceptions). Mayberry Enterprises, INC. holds those rights and Andy does get payment from the sales of licensed Mayberry products.
I am a little behind on the Two Chairs podcasts. Just listened to Part 1 of the Don Knotts podcast. A couple comments. One - you were wondering what the woman said that wasn't by a microphone and Don Knots said 'thanks'. I think I heard her say, 'ATTA Boy Luther!. Just kidding!
Also, Don mentioned that he didn't get any residuals from TAGS. Do you think that is true for all of the cast, except maybe Andy Griffith? Kind of sad - we have watched these reruns for years and years and its sad to think the actors don't get any dollars from that. I guess that's the way it is though.
Yes, no leaning on barber chairs for you! You do a great job with your Floyd imitation. Its the actor of the man. For what its worth, these would be my 5 to hook someone one into Andy with a quick comment:
5. Opie The Birdman - showcases Opie and Andy's relationship
4. Barney's First Car - "I'm all set" - Hilarious -" You're a good son, Barn."
3. The Pickle Story - Great showcase of Aunt Bea and love for her by Andy.
2. Convicts at Large - Floyd at his best. Wow.....
1. Man In a Hurry - This was the episode that hooked me way back when.
