One of my favorite episodes involving the front porch is when Andy is explaining to Opie why Aunt Bee wants to marry Fred Goss, the dry cleaning man, while Aunt Bee sits quietly in her chair. Opie says his Pa left out the one main reason and that was because she has that deep down kind of love and Andy realizes from Aunt Bee's facial expression and lack of response that she, in fact, does not have that deep down kind of love for Mr. Goss. It is then that Andy expresses to Aunt Bee that they are a family and that they love one another and that no one in their household will marry unless they have an overwhelming kind of love (something to that effect). She turns to him with tears in her eyes and says: "Oh, Andy" and they hug and go in the house. That brings tears to my eyes every time. So touching and so eloquently put.
