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.

I noticed something recently, that if I have noticed it in the past, I have forgotten. In the episode "Opie's Rival", Peggy comes into the courthouse and finds Opie. She reaches and gets a pencil and proceeds to write a note for Andy. She folds the note and lays the pencil down beside the note. When the scene changes (and Opie begins to walk his black tennis shoes across the desk), we see the note, but the pencil has mysteriously vanished! Curious - curious - curious...
Has anybody ever noticed the newspaper tear in the top of the paper Barney is reading in the episode, "The New Mayor?" It made it easier to make the tear when Barney was startled by Mayor Stoner. 😂
Yes, and in the scene just before that one, the newspaper isn't torn.
In Three Wishes for Opie, Goober, Floyd and Barney are in the back room of the courthouse attempting to communicate with the Count when Barney says to Goober: "you know the procedure, if you will please."
Goober reaches out of frame and turns off the light. Later I noticed that the light switch is way-over next to the door and Goober would have needed his arm to be about 8 feet long to reach it.
Here's one you probably never noticed: Barney uses the language "Smash, smash, smash" when he speaks of destroying a still with an ax. Carrie Nation, a famous women in the temperance movement used the words "smash, smash, smash" in a quote that I saw in a documentary. And she would sometimes use a hatchet to destroy bottles of liquor and was hence known as "Hatchet Granny". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Nation
In the episode "Family Visit" the group stops for ice cream. Anybody notice the name of the shop?
In S4:E8 "Opie's Ill Gotten Gains" the bike Andy gives him has a bell on the Right Handlebar. In the closeup, it's on the Left, then back to the Right side. You can tell it's a camera Reversal if you look at the buttons on Opie's shirt.
It's just fun to see things I haven't seen before.
Has anybody ever noticed that there is no bathroom in the courthouse? Where do they get their water for their coffee? Where do they get the water to fill their crock?
For that matter, does anyone remember actually seeing any type of bathroom facility in Mayberry?
In 'Wedding bells for Aunt Bee" (I think) there's a scene with Opie brushing his teeth and Andy tells him the story about the kid who had all his teeth fall out because he lied about brushing his teeth.
