episodes without Barney
Although I am not citing specific episodes without Barney (there are many excellent ones!) I would like to give honorable mention to the writers (and probably Andy Griffith) for keeping Barney's name in memory with the wonderful letters from Barney on vacation Andy would read out loud to the amusement and enjoyment of Goober, Floyd, and Opie. I thought that was a very considerate gesture. Eric Swolgaard Sacramento, CA Opie: "Is peek-a-boo something like ha ha ?" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

In the episode "Those Gossiping Men", when Emma and Aunt Bee are in Walker's Drug Store, Emma remarks "I am not one of those vain women who lies about her age.I am in my 40's and I admit it."

J.D. Salinger's favorite tv show
Just finished a documentary of "Catcher in the Rye" author J.D. Salinger. His former wife said that during his reclusive years, Salinger's favorite TV program was The Andy Griffith Show- describing it as a "portrait of innocence."
