It’s Christmas time once again here in Mayberry so it is time for the annual Christmas episode. The Andy Griffith Show had only one episode centered around any holiday and that holiday was Christmas. Fans have watched that episode time and again as Ben Weaver tries to get himself arrested so he can spend Christmas in jail with the Taylor’s, the Muggins’, and Miss Ellie. It always speaks to our hearts when we see Ben singing outside that courthouse cell window.

Since the podcast began, Two Chairs has tried to bring back that warm feeling as we go through Mayberry related memories of Christmas time. We also try to make a new memory or two in the process. We have a special guest back again this year from over in Dodge City. His name is Festus Haggen and he has a really good story to tell about Santa. There’s a story called “The Fife Before Christmas” by my friend Rik Roberts who played “Barney” to my “Floyd” in the Mayberry Man movie and Mayberry Man series.

We have a favorite of mine by Charlie Monk called “Andy and Opie Christmas” that brings back memories of a small town Christmas that sure reminds me of Mayberry.

We hear from Elinor Donahue about recording “Away in a Manger” with Andy then we hear her sing just that. For a bit more Christmas music, I’ll play my 2022 Mayberry Christmas card featuring images from Mayberry Man the Series. And, if you stick around till the end, we’ll have Miss Ellie and Andy sing an encore of “Away in a Manger.”

God bless you and I hope you have a very merry Christmas.

Ellie Saves a Female was the 27th episode filmed and the 27th aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S1.E27)

Plot Summary Ellie Saves a Female:

Ellie, continuing her feminist pursuits, chooses to assist Francine Flint, the daughter of a local farmer, in gaining independence, despite her father’s disapproval. Andy resolves the conflict by persuading Farmer Flint that a gentler approach, symbolized by the use of honey to attract bees, is more effective in achieving his goals, in this case, retaining his daughter’s help on the farm.

We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode Ellie Saves a Female.

We’ll play Mayberry trivia about Opie provided by trivia master Paul Mulik.

Last week we played Round 1 of the Mayberry Days Trivia Championship 2024 where ever correct answer was worth 100 points. If if you didn’t play last week, you may want to go back and play along because this week you bring your point total forward into round 2.

This episode we’ll play Round 2 and the “final question” of the Mayberry Days Trivia Championship 2024. Round 2 has nine questions with each being worth 200 points. Incorrect answers are worth negative 200 points. You’ll need to keep up with your score so you can add your round 1 and round 2 point totals together.

The “Final Question” allows those with positive point totals to wager their points in an attempt to score the highest total.

The questions are hard so like last week, we’ll play some fairly easy Mayberry trivia to build back up your confidence in your Mayberry knowledge.

This episode we’ll play Round 1 of the Mayberry Days Trivia Championship 2024. Ten questions with each being worth 100 points. Incorrect answers are worth negative 100 points. Keep up with your score and remember to remove 100 points for any missed answers. I suggest you don’t guess to avoid the negative points.

Next week we’ll play Round 2 (worth 200 points each) is nine questions plus the “Final Mayberry Question.”

Incorrect answers in Round 2 will be worth negative 200 points. Guessing really hurts your score so keep that in mind.

Then we’ll hear from a couple of our listeners and get a correction from Paul Mulik.

To close out, we’ll play some fairly easy Mayberry trivia to build back up your confidence.
