I’m always looking for things we may never have seen related to our friends in Mayberry. That being stories, photos, articles, or just about anything touching on either the characters on The Andy Griffith Show or the actors who played them.

I recently ran across an article from the Los Angeles Times from January 12, 1960 titled “Howard McNear as Acting Specialist” and felt like I had struck gold. There isn’t any talk about his time on The Andy Griffith Show because McNear first appeared as Floyd in the episode “Mayberry Goes Hollywood” on January 2, 1961, almost a year after this article was published. He had already been a barber on TV tough because he appeared as “Andy the barber” on season 2, episode 8 of “Leave it to Beaver” called “The Shave” (November 20, 1958). It was a memorable yet fairly small role that may have paved the way to Mayberry.

I realize I’m a bit biased toward this actor but I hope you’ll enjoy hearing a bit more about him and his career before “Floyd.” I’ve done nine episodes of the podcast about Howard McNear but since I’ve done about 740 episode that are not about him, I think I’m balancing pretty well.

We’ll play some trivia to wrap up the fun. Sit back and enjoy the show!

This is a first for me. An “in studio” guest here on the podcast. Kenneth Junkin, who is a tribute artist for Otis and seen in the Mayberry Man movie is here with me to tell some stories.

Kenneth has been on the show many times but we’ve never been here at Two Chairs HQ to record. He’ll tell us stories about Don Knotts, Betty Lynn, George Lindsey, Sue Ane Langdon (nurse Mary Simpson), Ernest Borgnine, Donna Douglas and more. Kenneth has been involved with Mayberry events since the very early 1990’s and has been performing as Otis since 1995.

I hope you enjoy this conversation and walk away feeling the excitement both Kenneth and I feel when talking about The Andy Griffith Show and those connected to it through either being on or being a fan of the show. We have been so blessed in all the things we’ve been able to do so I hope you can live some of the joy along with us.

We’re in the middle part of summer and that hot weather is taking the energy out of us all.

What better way to recharge that to test our skill at Mayberry trivia. Not just any trivia either because these questions will give everyone a shot at getting the answer right because they are multiple choice.

So sit back, recharge your batteries, and see how many questions you can get right as we go. I hope the questions bring to mind the fun had when watching episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and they let you experience the joy all over again.

The Surry Arts Council has been having an auction of items that belonged to Betty Lynn, Mayberry’s own Thelma Lou, in order to raise money for the arts in Mt. Airy, NC. The auction just ended but it brought to mind the impact that Betty had on the city of Mt. Airy during the time she lived in the community.

I found this article about Betty moving to “Mayberry” that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. She was such a wonderful person to be around and is greatly missed but her legacy certainly lives on every time we watch The Andy Griffith Show and also in support of the arts in Mt. Airy.

We play some extra trivia in this episode so stick around for all the fun.
