My husband and I both think that Andy should have ended up with Peggy. She was so pretty and vibrant, with so much spark and personality. Besides, she could sing and harmonize with Andy, and was a great cook, to boot! She could definitely make more t
Does anyone remember this show? It’s now on Amazon Prime video with 75 episodes. It looks like a Merv Griffin or Dinah Shore type a variety talk show. He does a pretty good job as the host. The most fascinating thing for me was seeing the episodes wi
Read more…I've never liked them much. I bought the DVD box set for the first 5 seasons but wasn't interested in the last 3.
Don Knotts and Jim Nabors was gone, the new characters like Warren, Emmet and Howard just weren't funny to me, poor Floyd had had the st
Read more…Last night I mentioned that maybe Mr. Schwamp’s identity is buried deep in the CBS archives. Well, I did a little bit of snooping and discovered that, in 2011 and 2012, Production Supervisor Ronald Jacobs donated all of his “papers” from his televis
Read more…From the season four ep, 'The Fun Girls.' I've seen this episode countless times and never noticed this before.
Not sure if this has already been discussed, but I thought it would be fun to see how or if TAGS pops up in other tv shows, movies, etc. This can include references to characters (such as Barney Fife), places (Floyd's Barbershop), or even Mayberry it
Read more…Such a hilarious scene in the epilogue of the first episode of 'Mayberry RFD' titled, 'The Wedding.' Tight shot of Andy serenading Helen on their honeymoon when the camera slowly pulls back revealing Barney! I think Helen has her back up.

I asked this some time ago and it was never answered so thought I'd throw it out there again. Who can identify the episode where a brief scene takes place inside Clara Edward's house yet Clara does not appear in the episode?

Read more…Daily call sheet for 'The Rumor' episode, dated March 9, 1964. This was basically a schedule for the day's filming distributed to cast and crew so they knew where to be and when.
This is a great episode, it's the one with three female convicts. But but but I'm still wondering about when Charles O'Malley (William Bouchey) returns on the bus from "DE-troit." Andy offers him a ride back to his place, and he accepts. If it weren

Read more…I know this is a little off topic, but the two shows are linked. Here are 3 of my favorites:
1. Gomer, the Welsh Rarebit Fiend
