Top 3 Favorite Mayberry Characters and Why

. Who are your top three favorite Mayberry characters and why?  #1: Barney Fife. Barney is high strung at times, clumsy, dimwitted and over zealous. But, he's lovable. He loves to be a LEO and knows his duty--albeit he goes overboard many, many, many, many, many times. But deep down he is brave (when needed) and cares about justice. When it comes to dating he has the lovely, precious, Thelma Lou at his side, a woman who lights up a thousand rooms with her smile. But, at times, Barney gives…

WHO said that?

A little twist to LINES from the SHOW: Let's take turns adding lines and letting folks respond by saying WHO said that and to WHOM it was said. Once you answer one, be polite and leave one for the next person.

Have YOU ever NOTICED?

OK...Let's find the stuff that may not be so obvious, and the ones that make you think, "Hey, I never noticed that before." and post them for all to now be able to notice. Post the Episode and the thing you noticed.  See my first post as an example.

A Different Theme Song

What would be some fun and silly theme songs for the Andy Griffith Show other than the orginal? Let's have a bit of fun 1. Looney Tunes theme song (sure would fit Eartnest T. Bass when Barney is after him)2. Popeye theme song (just for the fun of it)3. Twi-Light Zone theme song (just because there was only one Christmas episode--does Mayberry rotate the same day over and over...welcome to the Twi-Light Zone)4. You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch (just because Andy lost his sense of fun when Helen…

Where did Ellie go?

Ellie left Mayberry. But where did she go? There was no explanation to her sudden departure. In this post I want to speculate some in regards to why Ellie left Mayberry and where she relocated to. Detective Barney Fife is now on the case. Okay, so I'm not Barney Fife, but it never hurts to hope :-)So where did Ellie go and why did she leave Mayberry?Speculation #1: Ellie left Mayberry because she was too young and pretty and may have felt stifled. Like Barney, who was always after the big time,…

Did our Mayberry Friends Ever Have Any Complaints?

Have you ever wondered if the folks in Mayberry ever had any complaints? I want to have some fun and speculate--the comedian in me is very excited to do. And remember: this is for fun. If Aunt Bee shows up at my house with Floyds walking stick to hit me over the head with...then I'll know I went too far :-) Well begin with Aunt Bee. On a bright clear warm morning Aunt Bee goes to do laundry. Oh, she's smiling and humming and thinking about if she wants to bake an apple pie of blackberry…

Where Did the Law Go?

In the Episode "Andy and Barney in the Big City" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0512403/), they both leave Mayberry.Where did the law go? Who took over for Andy and Barney? We're not told. Why was Mayberry left without a temporary badge to make sure Ben's store was locked up at night and the back door leading into the bank vault was secure? Curious...curious...curious. Maybe Earnest T. Bass took over for them with his bag of bricks? Andy and Barney took a bus to Raleigh, which means they didn't…
