I'll add my 2 cents in this discussion... I think it SEEMS like Andy is chiding Aunt Bee more in the color episodes, but it's because she's trying to exercise her independence more. She learns to drive AND fly an airplane, for heaven's sake! Also, at that time, people didn't regard older people as being able to do new things like they do now, particularly women. I really liked Aunt Bee's independent streak. She had a lot of moxie! Sue Grigsby "And don't be late for supper!"
