Convicts at Large
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

I'm noticing after seemingly endless shows from the pre-1964 era, cable subscribers are being treated to episodes not shown for eons, such as the second high school reunion and when Aunt Bea files a lost ring insurance claim. Shazam !

Andy fans appreciated Susan in "Prisoner of Love." Here's a brief overview of her life,

Besides some sour grapes concerning the cable channels that keep showing the same 'sodes ad nauseum, I'm fed up with even trying to tune in, I also have observations:
1---In Mayberry on Record, how absurd that the man uses a Webcor tape recorder just

Coming up is the one about Aunt Bea learning to drive. I have always felt that there was a stand-in each time "she" was behind the wheel. And they used someone else who had the same build as her, could even be a man, and they also used the hat as a

Many of us were irritated by the character Warren. In fairness, here is another side to the actor, Jack Burns:

Yes, trivia and inconsistencies...
Trivia
This is the only episode of TAGS where all three Howard men appear: Rance, Ron and Clint.
Mayberry is thought to be based on Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy, NC. Fort Knox plays a central role in this episode,
The Mail Slot
This has come up before. Seems in almost every episode the mail slot is there in the door. I have tried to keep track, and in at least one show, the handyman, the slot is gone, and George, the mailman walks in and hands the mail to Andy. In another s

In two episodes there's an old Ford car, dull and unpolished, looks like a 1951. In a Malcolm Merriweather show, he rides up on his bike and the car is parked in Andy's driveway. In another, Barney is seen very briefly driving the car, parking it on

In one episode, Spoiled Kid, Andy and Barney seriously enforced NOT riding a bicycle on the sidewalks.
However, in another, Loaded Goat, Opie comes around the corner on his bike, runs into Andy and Barney on a sidewalk, and not a word was said. Yet an

Or am I confused?
There is the one we keep seeing where Andy and his old flame, Sharon DeSpain, meet again to dance and wonder why they feel apart. But but but I also seem to recall another reunion when Barney's old girlfriend Thelma Lou shows up. Or

I doubt there is even one traffic light in town, but how many drugstores? Name them all.
I count three., two more instead of Walker's. How many is anyone else aware of?

I don't get it, I just don't get it.
In "Man in a Hurry," two elderly sisters paralyze telephone communications every Sunday for hours. One of the sisters even lives out of town in Mount Pilot. We know Mayberry must have a lot more than one line, we k

This has reared its ugly head before. Going with the flow or not, I am sick of all the same episodes. It has gone too far. I for one cannot yawn and still enjoy. Variety. If you canno hear me, I'll yell...VARIETY. Enough is not enough, it's too much.

Oh yeah, for better or worse, Saw "Opie's Job" in color yesterday, and now there are four more scheduled. Who else gets an upset stomach from watching Deputy Warren? Pass the Pepto-Bismol.
