Lessons from Mayberry

One hears alot about how TAGS was a show that had good morals and that many of the episodes had a lesson to be learned. I am a big fan and love the show. I've noticed, however, that sometimes the lesson learned was that it is better to deceive or trick someone than to tell the truth.
