RE: Andy's Father

[mease]

Thanks, Paul Mulik, for the reminder of the instances of Andy mentioning his
father . but, I think my original question of what came of Andy's parents
still remains a mystery.  At least, I cannot recall any mention of what
happened to them, the he was raised by Aunt Bee.  Anyone?

RE: Andy's wife, Opie's mother

[Harriet Browder]

 Andy never brings up the subject of his wife in any episode,  

 Now, the only bucket I have is dirty and it ain't handybut..it seems 
to me that Andy brings it up in two episodes. 

Once when Aunt Bee almost marries Mr. Goss. Opie is asking Andy about deep 
down love and asks if Andy had it with his (Opie's) mother. When Andy says 
yes, Opie responds with Well, then it's ok.

Another time, is when Opie is in bed and he and Andy are talking.  In response 
to something Opie says, Andy says he lost Opie's mother when Opie was just a 
wee little baby.

Maybe I need to clean that bucket...

Re: Andy's Birthday

[Allan Newsome]

On the day (1 June 1926) that Andy was born in North Carolina on the
East Coast of the United States, there was another equally famous
person born in California on the West Coast.Do you know the famous
person who shares Andy's birth date?

I know the answer so I won't give it away but nature had been very
good to her. That isn't a hint...just a statement. :)

Re: Andy's change in temperament

[Dixon Hayes]

Interesting point Janet.  My take is, yes, there was an infusion of new writers 
and directors during those later years, especially with Aaron Ruben and others 
leaving for Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.  And think with Barney gone, they decided to 
make Andy more of a foil for the rest of the town.  They seemed to think it 
would be funny to just so Andy get mad, like Mr. B from Hazel, or Jack Benny, 
or Mr. Mooney from The Lucy Show.  In many episodes he's already in an ill 
mood and sometimes recites a laundry list of reasons why (which, ironically, 
once included running a laundry).   

But the thing is, they thought this from week to week, perhaps even because 
they ran out of ideas quicker than imagined and found themselves using Andy 
gets ticked off as a crutch.  And when you look back at the finished 
work--something producers didn't do so much like they do now, especially with 
dramatic shows--it just looks like Andy is chronically angry. to the point of 
it being a flat-out mental problem.  If it were shot today, one of the other 
characters might've even gone as far as to suggest Andy get help and a 
prescription.  

But everyone else in town bears some responsibility too.  It seems whenever 
Andy's busy or not feeling well, or even having to sleep in the daytime, the 
whole down seems to machine gun him with numerous problems or one big one.  
Goober seems to be the worst offender, and Warren would've had anyone's stress 
level up, especially in the bingo episode.

But I don't think that's what they meant to do.  It just worked out that way.  
Barney's absence re-scrambled the chemistry of the whole show.  They meant for 
Andy to have a happy life except for these things that kept coming up, but that 
isn't the way it came off or comes off even now

The very best episodes from this era are the ones that go for warmth.  Aunt 
Bee's rose, etc.  But there were some funny episodes as well--the one about the 
spaghetti dinners, for instance, or the one where Aunt Bee becomes the 
Mayberry Chef--where Andy's anger is more low-key and slow-boil, like Bob 
Newhart.  I wished they'd stayed with this.  In the one about Aunt Bee being on 
TV, where Opie gets really excited about having dinner at the diner and Andy 
shooting him a look, like it was a back-handed slap at Andy's cooking--those 
touches would've worked so much better IMHO.

Re: Andy's Autograph

[Hughes, Clyde L. (HSC)]

Thanks Paul!  
Yes, unless it's an in person autograph or there is photographic evidence of 
the signing, or the seller is extremely trustworthy and/or belongs to and is in 
good standing with the UACC and other reputable organizations.  Of course, 
there are exceptions to every rule, in which a known non-signer will sign 
(human nature), but it pays to err on the side of caution and step out with the 
right foot so all will go well. :)
Here are some good links to help those with buying autographs:
http://www.oocities.org/hollywood/cinema/3950/dealers.htm
http://www.geocities.com/~sbeck/dealers.htm

Both offer tips, advice, and organizational links.  
Hope this helps,
Clyde Barn



Almost all autographed photos of Andy Griffith were actually signed not by 
Andy himself, but by his manager, Richard O. Linke (with Andy's permission). 
When anyone wrote in to ask for an autographed photo, Mr. Linke would do the 
signature. He could make a near-perfect copy, and he probably still can to 
this day. 

That being said, it is certainly true that there are a few genuine items out 
there that Andy actually did sign with his own hand. For one thing, according 
to Mr. Linke, Andy always signed his checks himself. So a cancelled check with 
Andy's signature is the real thing. I have one, and will be glad to send a 
picture of it to anybody who wants to see what the genuine signature looks 
like. 

Another thing to remember when buying autographs is that a certificate of 
authenticity is worthless. Anyone who would sell fake autographs would not 
hesitate to print up a fake certificate to go with it.  The only way to be 
absolutely certain that an autograph is authentic is to get it yourself, in 
person, but to my knowledge Andy has never appeared at any sort of autograph 
show, and I'm also told that he quit giving out autographs decades ago.

Wellingtons.  Years and years ago, there was a shoe repair shop down at the

Hey, Mayberry friends. This is my theory on the gun on top of the hutch.Even 
though the citizens of Mayberry are a law abiding bunch, Andy had to be 
prepared if an 'interloper' ventured into town. The gun in his home and hidden 
would be there if needed. After all, he was a lawman and lawmen have to be 
ready to protect citizens and themselves. This is just my measly 3 cents worth.

Re: andy's hand/hooty hot owls/Carl Griffith

I had always heard that the cast was from a real broken hand that went through 
a wall.  I had also heard that they had laughed so much on the set' that had 
times,Andy would have to hit the wall.  This time it had gone trough the wall.
I am sorry to hear of Sandy kenyon's passing.
And, about owls, I love them.  I once lived in a house in Utah in the desert, 
where I had 16 tall ,over 30 feet, trees.  There was an owl nest in it and 
could hear Mama Owl at night hooting and her babies.  It was comforting.  This 
Mama owl would also hoot at me when I came in at night.  It wasn't the warning 
hoot just a sweet hello hoot.  At my hose in the big city. Of 300, I had no 
owls. Now in the big city they are few and far between.  
And I am glad to know that the one coming out of the.  Store was Andy's Dad.

Re: Andy's long sleeves

[Andrew McKenzie]

 Has anyone ever noticed that Andy always wears long sleeves?


Good question. I've noticed (as I'm sure others have) that in season one and
(I think) a few times in season two Andy has the sleeves of his uniform
rolled up to expose his forearms. But I've hardly ever, or never, noticed
that later in the series. Of course, I can't ever remember Barney's uniform
sleeves rolled up, but that would go against his buttoned-down uniform
appearance.

Also, when they're out picnicking or whatever, Barney often wears his
short-sleeved button-down shirt untucked, whereas Andy still seems to prefer
a long-sleeved button-down, tucked-in, without the sleeves rolled up or
anything. (Maybe some trained noticers can point out more details and what
I've missed.)

Maybe Barney is just a work hard, play hard type of guy. He likes to look
neat in his uniform around the office, or with the old salt-and-pepper at a
dance, but when he's bachin' it at Mrs. Mendlebright's or at a picnic he
takes it easy with the dress. Andy's style of dress doesn't fluctuate as
much; his favorite garb for a casual date seems to be his shirt (with or
without tie) and sweater vest, and he only wears the blue suit on more
formal occasions.

A question for the lucky ones who have seen Mayberry RFD: what does Andy
wear in his wedding to Helen? What about Barn?

re: Andy's Long Sleeves

[dudleygl]

? Has anyone ever noticed that Andy always wears long sleeves? I was 
watching Bargain Day last night and the scene where Aunt Bee was on the 
back 
porch sitting with the freezer and Opie comes outside without a shirt on 
(naked savage!) because it is SO HOT, Andy has long sleeves on. Several times 
during this episode they mention how hot it is. I also noticed on other 
episodes 
where the hot weather is mentioned that he always wears long sleeves. I guess 
maybe they didn't have summer  winter uniforms back then.

I thought this was particularly strange in the episode where Andy and Floyd 
were sitting on the bench talking about how hot it is, and then get into the 
Calvin Coolidge controversey. Floyd says it's 92 degrees, but he's sitting 
there in the sun with his barber's jacket on.

Re: Andy's Broken Hand

[robcurlee]

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

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.

re: Andy's changed disposition

[sharon dickson]

I've been reading all the comments about how Andy's personality is different in 
the color shows of TAGS, and thinking about the situration.  If anyone watches 
the reruns of Matlock, as much as I do, they will notice that if things don't 
go the way Matlock wants them to, he can show a personality not anything like 
the Andy Griffith that we know of in black and white AGS. It makes me wonder 
if, as Andy aged, maybe his whole personality changed some as displayed in the 
color shows and in Matlock.  Just a thought.
  Maybe I'll have to ask Johnny Paul Jason about this!

Re: Andy's (fantasy) proposal

[dixonhayes]

***For Andy's proposal I pictured somehow everyone crashes the quiet dinner he 
planned and there's a noisy party going on.  Andy would try to take Helen aside 
to propose, but she can't hear him so he shouts Helen, please marry me? just 
about the time the music goes off and everyone quiets down.  Then when she said 
yes, they lean into kiss and everyone would jump between them with hugs, back 
pats and handshakes.***
 
I thought about that too.  The only thing I would add is, Andy apologizes to 
Helen at some point and says this isn't what he had in mind, he wanted a quiet 
evening, just the two of them.  Helen says she understands, but says Then 
again, look around, and everyone is having the time of their lives.  Aunt Bee 
is serving pie, Howard is amazing Floyd (or Emmett) with some story, someone's 
playing a musical instrument, perhaps Goober is cracking people up with an 
imitation...Then Helen says I almost think I wouldn't have it any other way. 
 The message would be clear: she's not just marrying Andy, she's marrying the 
town, because Andy belongs to them as well.

Re: Andy's Anger

[MeInMayberry]

 
I think Scott has a good point here, and I've been trying to  figure out 
why the Andy angry scenes *seem* to be more prominent in the color  years.  I 
have a theory about that.  I think it may be partly because  Andy was actually 
more subdued and less engaged than in the black-and-white  years.


```
In the color episodes, Andy would often only be sitting out on the bench  
with some of the fellas and would seem very tired and just plain unhappy--even  
when he WASN'T getting angry at anyone.  I think maybe his problems in  his 
private life were affecting his performance.

Re: Andy's badge

[rcm999]

What you see on the cover-art is a result of a composite shot.  The images are 
in fact reversed, as noted by Andy's hair and his badge.  You'll note too, 
Opie's hair and the direction of the buttoning of Goober's shirt.  The 
background is a drawing only, not a photo.  But what you see in that one final 
image is a result of overlays.

Either that or the Count or Henry Bennett has done went and hexed it!

re: Andy's grunts

[DudleyGL]

 
One of the things I really enjoy about Andy Griffith's performances  in 
TAGS--during both the black and white and the color years--is the way  he 
uses 
grunts, sighs, and various other forms of non-word  verbalization to 
express himself.  He seems to have used these more  than other TV actors, and 
I 
think it's part of what makes his performances seem  so genuine.  In real 
life, people use more than complete sentences  or even just standard words 
to 
communicate, so those little things  Andy adds to his character make him seem 
more like a real  person.
