Visit the Return to Mayberry set with Jim Clark and Ken Beck. The original telling of this story can be found in the April 13, 1986 edition of The Bullet and is written by Jim Clark, himself.

We get to hear Jim’s account of first meetings with Andy Griffith, Aneta Corsaut, Betty Lynn, Hal Smith and other cast and crew members from The Andy Griffith Show.  Jim and Ken have written so many Mayberry book that I guess I’ve always felt they always knew these folks so it’s fun to hear a little insight into how it all began.

Reading Jim’s words, and you hearing them, takes us all along with him so we can picture in our minds eye that we were there with he and Ken.  Thank big you to Jim and Ken for going to Mayberry and bringing us along.

Follow me on Twitter if you use twitter. I’ve been posting all kinds of Mayberry things there as another way to let folks know about The Andy Griffith Show.

Jean “Hello Doll” Carson was born February 28, 1923 and had a wonderful career. On this episode of Two Chairs No Waiting we’ll remember Jean’s visits to Mayberry as well as talk about just a few of things she did outside of Mayberry.

Jean passed away on November 2, 2005 but her “hello doll” will always bring a smile to fans of The Andy Griffith Show.  Her son, Tracy Alexander, owns operates Alexander Productions in Palm Springs, CA and has been active in keeping his mom’s memory alive and well.

Two Chairs No Waiting

We’re heading back into the archives of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) to read about Mayberry folks from the mountains around town. The story is from “The Bullet,” the official newsletter of TAGSRWC, volume 1 issue 2 (March 18, 1983). This is a fun trip back down memory lane to the very early days of TAGSRWC.

We also hear from a caller who lets us know that Richard “Doc” Ferrara (one of the subjects of our last episode – #121) was mentioned on The Andy Griffith show episode “Ernest T. Bass Joins the Army.”
