Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:40:39

As the new year begins, I have been reflecting that there are many folks out there that love The Andy Griffith Show but may not be in the graduate studies program. They are “First Years” in that they enjoy watching the episodes but may not know all the things students in their “Eighth Year” might be aware of.

If you are in that group, or if you just want to brush up on your studies, this column is for you. We’ll begin with a few basics that will help lay the foundation.

Even more information for the Mayberry “First Years” can be found in the Weaver’s Newsletter January 2025. You’ll also find a lot of other information about The Andy Griffith Show in the FREE newsletter like, trivia, event news, cast & crew news, chapter updates and other news.

We’ll play “Who Said it?” Mayberry trivia.

TCNW 821: Little Miss Mayberry Interview

Two Chairs No Waiting
Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 1:01:50

You may be asking who’s “little Miss Mayberry?” Well, on the Cruise to Mayberry 2023 our special guest was Joy Ellison and she played several characters on The Andy Griffith Show with one of them being “Mary Wiggins” who was Miss Mayberry Jr. where Floyd sang to her in the Barber Shop at the end of “The Beauty Contest” episode (S1.E16). Joy also appeared as “Effie Muggins” in “Christmas Story” (S1.E11), “Mary Scobey” in “Andy Forecloses” (S1.E28), “Betsy” in “Opie’s Most Unforgettable Character” (S7.E29), and “Iris” in “Opie’s First Love” (S8.E1). Joy also appeared an uncredited background character in “Mayberry Goes Hollywood” (S1.E13) and went on to be on the TAGS spin-off series Gomer Pyle: U.S.M.C. as “Molly Peters” in the episode “Luv Finds Gomer Pyle” (S4.E20).

That’s just of an example of her Mayberry connections as Joy has many additional professional credits as an actor and as dialect coach.

I was able to interview her during the Mayberry Cruise 2023 and hear her memories of her amazing career. This episode features much of that interview.

I believe that the audio version of this interview will be great to hear but if you choose to watch the video version, I’d added images of memories she mentions so I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

I know you will enjoy this special interview.

Join us in 2025 for the Cruise to Mayberry 18! Celebrate The Andy Griffith Show aboard the Carnival Valor on a 5-day Western Caribbean Cruise October 27 through November 1, 2025. The special Mayberry guest will be Dennis Rush who we’ve heard from right here on the podcast! The cruise sails out of New Orleans and travels to Cozumel and Progreso, Yucatan with 2 “Fun Days” at sea. Special musical guest is an amazing band, Cutter & Cash and Kentucky Grass. Several of the Mayberry tribute artist will be there, including “Floyd” (your host for Two Chairs No Waiting). It’s gonna be BIG!
