TAGS Connection to the Beatles

2014-05-20 Thread John Worsham
I was watching a color episode this week and found a connection between my two passions, The Andy Griffith Show and The Beatles (or The Beagles as Goober called them). Paul McCartney found sheet music to a very old song with the words Golden slumbers fill your eyes, and I will sing a lullaby.

Regarding all the discussion on how Barney paid for the motorcycle and sidecar, here's more to ponder...   How did he get to Mt. Pilot to buy the cycle in the first place? Did he walk there? Did he drive the squad car and tow the cycle back? It makes you want to put a bucket on your head and

Artistic weavers is mentioned in the epilogue of If I Had a Quarter Million after Barney shot through his salt-n-pepper trousers. It's the only time I've ever heard that expression in all my life! I've always wondered what it meant. John Gomer Worsham Message: 2 Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2010

Quiet Sam - How did Barney get there?

How did Barney get out to Quiet Sam's farm? This is an excellent question and I think I've figured it out based on one of the contradictions that appear in our hometown from time to time. We all know that Barney bought his first car in Season Three from Hubcaps Lesh, but if you look at the

Another Beauty Shop Sighting

I don't know if this counts as a beauty shop sighting or not, but in the early episode Stranger in Town there was a door inside Floyd's Barber Shop that led to the beauty shop next door.  You can see it at the start of the epilogue.  It mysteriously disappears after that. John Gomer Worsham
