Andy's broken hand
There are two shows that i know of that Andy has his hand in a cast. He says because of a "tussle with some prisoners." Since it's in two shows I thought it must have really been injured. Does anyone know for sure? Just curious. The episodes are the one where Aunt Bea runs "the rock" at home with Otis and the other I think was the women's prison break. --Would Rather Be Fishin' in VA The toils of the road will seem nothing when i get to the end of the way... ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Andy's Broken Hand
Mark and All, My understanding regarding Andy's broken hand is that he had a heated disagreement with his wife, then Barbara, lost his temper and punched a wall..even by his own admission, Andy could be somewhat of a "hothead" back in those days..I do believe this is correct but I may be misinformed...they wrote the broken hand into the script.

There was another story about that. I might have read it in a book ("Mayberry
Memories," perhaps?). But I believe someone said it happened on the set, and
Andy got so tickled about something that he punched the wall, but it wasn't in
anger. Maybe someone else can confirm which story is accurate.

Andy's broken hand
There has been a lot of talk about Andy's broken hand and I've watched the episode a few times lately of Andy bringing in the four bad guys and claiming that he got it from them. And every time I watch it I have to wonder sense he got it from mengling with them, who tended to (them) his prisoners while he was getting his hand bandaged up?

Re: Andy's Broken Hand
Hi Mari Ellen, Yes, that's the reason given in the wonderful "Frequently Asked Questions" of TAGSRWC with the answer supplied by our own Paul Mulik. I've always wondered is what happened to Andy's hand where it was seriously bandaged for at least 2 shows? On one show he explained it away as having a "tussle" with a couple of prisoners? This sort of thing is right up my alley! The bandaged hand appeared in two consecutive episodes, #55 Aunt Bee the Warden and #56 The County Nurse. Andy Taylor explained it as the result of a difficulty in apprehending the 4 Gordon boys, but what had really happened was that in a fit of rage, Andy Griffith had punched his fist through a wall in his home. It was pretty easy for the writers to work it into the script, since Andy was a lawman who conceivably might have had to "put up his dukes" every now and then. --answer by Paul Mulik Here's the link: http://www.tagsrwc.com/faq/index.php?p=default&cat=6 Robbie Barnwell, SC Message: 2 Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 13:47:24 -0400 From: Mari Ellen Ryan Subject: Andy's Broken Hand To: wbmutbb@wbmutbb.com Message-ID: <8be9c2c90906271047v76bfdfffyd73124d26fc39...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Mark and All, My understanding regarding Andy's broken hand is that he had a heated disagreement with his wife, then Barbara, lost his temper and punched a wall..even by his own admission, Andy could be somewhat of a "hothead" back in those days..I do believe this is correct but I may be misinformed...they wrote the broken hand into the script.
