Another scene that proves spirit of Mayberry

2011-06-09 Thread Marie
My favourite colour episode shows the spirit of Mayberry quite nicely when Clara Edwards, gives up her blue ribbon to Aunt Bee in the rose growing contest. They'd been rivals for weeks when Aunt Bee's rose was ruined making her unable to compete. Off topic..any rosarians on the board? It mus

Liars in Mayberry

There were a few other liars in Mayberry, too: Opie lied about being sick so his Paw wouldn't go out that night with Nurse Peggy. However, I always thought that Andy should have had Peggy over to check on him Mrs Sprague lied that she was ill so Howard wouldn't date the new County Nurse Ire

Hey David, Curious, curious about all the lying going on in Mayberry. In "Cyrano Andy" Thelma Lou sure prompted Barney to think that Andy was interested in her: “Barney, guess who just came calling on me.” Opie lied to Peggy about Andy’s whereabouts because he was jealous of the time Andy

Andy and Barney would have to be cousins on Andy's mother's side because in the episode "Aunt Bee's Invisible Beau" Barney makes the remark, "If Aunt Bee were my aunt, I'd sure be more concerned about the situation" (or something like that). So since Aunt Bee is not Barney's aunt, Andy's mot

Cousins

Which one of Andy's and Barney's parents were kin (making Andy and Barney cousins)? Well, for sure, Andy's father and Barney's father could not have been brothers. If they were brothers, Andy and Barney would have had the same last name. So it must have been brother-sister. Many, many time

I guess my favorite OEW would be Alan Hale, Jr. (Jeff Pruitt). I loved it when, in his pre-skipper days, he kept calling Barney "little buddy". There is a local doctor named Jeff Pruitt, and whenever I see him, I picture him in overalls picking up women on the streets and saying, "'Scuse me ma'am

At lunch I drove by the Richardson City Hall and Library complex nearby and saw a sign saying "Community Band Concert Sunday 7:00pm". I was relieved they have several days notice in order to get the uniforms fixed, and the band members rehearsed. It should be a relaxing evening under the stars (b

Paul, I have to agree. The scene from The Cow Thief has always been one of my favorites as well. It's right up there with "Don't the trees seem nice and full" from Opie the Birdman.   Harry in Salem, VA   P.S.  I guess it was mayor Pike who didn't want Andy to hire Barney.  Probably thought he

One Show Wonder

My favorite one show wonder is Mary Simpson.  I wish they had kept her as Andy's girlfriend.  I always had a crush on Sue Ann Langdon.   My wife and I are going to have a special anniversay in two weeks.  It's our 21st and while that is special that's not the reason for excitement.  We are
