Mr. McBeevee: fantasy and reality, metaphorical and plain truth

This show was very good in pointing out how children can become confused between reality and make-believe -- but so can adults. Opie's description of Mr. McBeevee sounds fantastic yet it turns out…Continue

This episode has always been a favorite of mine. Part of the reason is that Andy had a tough decision to make but made the right one when he insisted that the award should be given to Otis and not…Continue

This episode is funny because officials in Mayberry legitimately panic when they hear Otis Campbell is the descendant of the distinguished person. They fear he will shame Mayberry by showing up…Continue

Quiet Sam Becker liked Denise Noe's discussion Mr. McBeevee: fantasy and reality, metaphorical and plain truth"HA! You are so right, Denise. Why else would that old man want to take care of that little girl? Sad, but true."
Denise Noe replied to Denise Noe's discussion Mr. McBeevee: fantasy and reality, metaphorical and plain truth"Yes. The title character of the brief but brilliant classic "Silas Marner" would probably be suspected of being a pedophile in today's climate."
"Unfortunately, nowadays Mr. MeBeevee would be arrested, Andy and Aunt Bee accused of child neglect, and Opie hauled off for counseling. Sadly, in today's world, children and adults can rarely interact except in a very structured…"
"The show is one more of the great examples of the talent of the writers....this kind of stuff works well with the audience as the audience sees the whole story. Alfred Hitchcock was a master at this in his films, espeically in he way he would…"
"I resemble this remarks..... :) It is one of my favorite episodes too! There is nothing more frustrating than people not believeing you when you know you are telling the truth or either misunderstanding you and forming an…"
"I love this episode too. Of course Opie leaves out many of the factual details that would have convinced the grownups that Mr. McBeevee was a real person. I guess that's the main difference between children and adults. Adults…"

This show was very good in pointing out how children can become confused between reality and make-believe -- but so can adults. Opie's description of Mr. McBeevee sounds fantastic yet it turns out to be truthful. Of course, Mr. McBeevee sometimes talks in metaphors. When Opie repeats the metaphor about the "12 hands," the grown-ups assume it's a child's fantasy. I like this episode for how it underlines the differences and confusions between reality and fantasy. It also shows how close Andy…See More

"I just saw "Deputy Otis" and thought Hal did a great job in the serious parts of that, too. Everybody did in that last scene between Otis and his brother - like that look on Barney's face after Ralph drops the bottle."

(That's my sister's name, too)
I read some of your stuff (crude, huh?) on antimisandry and crime library. Very engaging and thought-provoking. Some of the comments from readers are pretty interesting, too.

Janice Carter replied to Thelscuz's discussion It's A Mystery!"I'm thinking Andy probably found a nice diner to eat at several nights a week. And for some reason I imagine he probably cooks for Helen from time to time!"
