Elizabeth - aren't you the clever one to notice that. I wonder what was written in the scripts? Would different writers make their episodes more or less formal? Would that get edited in the read-thru? - Growing up in the 60s in NC, I always called aunts, uncles, parents' friends, etc by their first names. I still do. It may have been because I was the first grandchild (on both sides) and never heard anyone call them "Aunt" or "Uncle." I don't think any of them ever took offense, and there was certainly no disrespect on my part. Don "Uncle Ollie" Good ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

I recall the story where Ron Howard remembered the day he finally had one of his script suggestions accepted and Don Knotts told him (words to the effect) "that was the first one that was ever worth a "darn!"

In the early B/W shows Floyd was called Floyd by all the Mayberry residents from Opie to Aunt Bee. I saw a color show where Opie addressed him as Mr. Lawson. It sounded strange. Elizabeth in Ga ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
