Last episode I gave some reasons why, after almost 66 years, are we still watching The Andy Griffith Show? It was a good episode and caused a lot of online conversation.
So many of you had good ideas why Mayberry still touches our lives and I wanted to share them. I have several comments that were posted on YouTube, Facebook, emails and by voice mail so let’s hear what you had to say about Why We Keep Coming Back to Mayberry.
We have a nice message from a listener about Mayberry Days, too. Then, that same listener sent in some trivia that is not for the faint of heart. Good luck as you try to play along. See how many you can get right. I got zero.

We’re going to talk about something that, on the surface, sounds like a pretty simple question. But the more you think about it, the more interesting it becomes. Why?
Why, after roughly 65 years, are we still watching The Andy Griffith Show? Why are these episodes still being aired every day? Why can somebody who has seen an episode ten, twenty, or maybe even fifty times sit down and watch it again?
Let’s talk this through and see if we can come up with an answer. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter as well so be sure to call into the show and let me hear what you think.

One of Two Chairs most faithful listeners sent in a wonderful report of a trip he and fellow TAGS fan, Codie, took to California to visit locations where The Andy Griffith Show was filmed. Codie provided a report that was published in the Jul/Aug 2026 issue of Weaver’s Newsletter and it’s great we get to hear Mike’s point of view of the trip.
Mike and Codie were able to take a trip any fan of The Andy Griffith Show would love to be able to take. Thankfully, these men have taken time to share their experience so that we can travel along with them. For Codie’s story, check out the newsletter but for Mike’s you can just listen along here on the show.
We’ll also play the trivia that’s in the current issue of Weaver’s Newsletter and we have a bit of feedback from listener Caleb who points out some marks placed on the ground for TAGS actors and from “that college kid” who went off to college and now can’t come to the chat room on Monday night’s when we record Two Chairs LIVE.

Two Chairs has been going reviewing episodes of The Andy Griffith Show (TAGS) for a while and we do trivia related to those reviewed shows. Since May 2026 we’ve covered five TAGSepisodes and I felt like it was time to do a review with new trivia from those specific episodes.
Join me in doing some multiple choice questions and see how you do. Feel free to go back and review TAGS episodes “The County Nurse,” “Andy and Barney in the Big City,” “Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee,” “Three’s a Crowd,” and “The Bookie Barber” before trying the trivia. All are from season 2 of The Andy Griffith Show. We’ll be going over the questions & answers fairly quickly because we’ll have 50 to get through.
I have a bit of feedback from you to go over as well. Some of them are corrections or clarifications of things I reported on. I always want to provide correct information so thank you to all who take time to make sure I get things right.

This episode is going to be full of Mayberry trivia that I think we can all enjoy.
Last weekend was the 14th Mayberry Meetup at the Mayberry Motor Inn in Mount Airy, N.C. We had a great time visiting and doing some different kinds of trivia and that got me to wanting some fun trivia for us to do here on the podcast. I hope you’re going to enjoy trying to answer these questions from the Mayberry Trivia book by Scott Hopkins (available at WeaversDepartmentStore.com).
We’ll follow that up with a little overview of the Meetup to include a great video by “Ernest T. Bass Review” (you can find him on Facebook and the link is in our show notes). Thanks to Eddie “Ernest T” Kilbourne for letting me use his video. For our audio only listeners, I think you’ll enjoy it, too, but I do recommend the video version to see what’s happening.
