>>>A few episodes later Aunt Bee files a claim to her insurance man (Howard Sprague's alter ego) because she thought she lost Aunt Martha's pin. With the insurance money she buys...a disposal!! Did I miss something or was this one of the inconsistencies with the writing?<<
Yes that is a serious inconsistency that's is noted in some of the books about the show. They must have been really popular to add at that time...as well as ice crushers It was on the Taylor Porch that Andy taught Opie an important lesson about parenting and life, when he released his birds after he had cared for them so lovingly. "Son, they need a much bigger cage" and then stepping off of the porch, but reflecting back on the security of the cage and the porch "but don't the tree seem nice and full" The young lad Opie would no doubt remember that important lesson from the front porch. Nice observation Ken. Who else had a front porch? Floyd (seeing Barney on the Horse) Sam Becker Mrs. Mendlebright (Barney talked about sitting out there with her) The Parkers in Raleigh The Preacher, Reverend Tucker Thelma Lou Who else??
