Two Chairs No Waiting
An important person very much connected to The Andy Griffith Show (TAGS) passed away on January 30, 2010 and I couldn’t let another week pass by without mentioning his passing. So, rather than this episode simply being part three of our remembering Howard McNear we are going to also remember Aaron Ruben.
Aaron Ruben was producer, story consultant, writer, and director and one of TAGS strongest pillars for the first five seasons. Jim Clark, Presiding Goober of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC), said this about Aaron. “Other than Andy Griffith himself, no one was more crucial behind the scenes in guiding and shaping ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ during its first five seasons.”
Mr. Ruben will be missed and fondly remembered.
Parley Baer joins us once again to share his memories of Howard McNear and his experience performing the eulogy at Howard’s funeral. Smiles and laughter were shared that day remembering Howard and you can hear the love in Parley’s voice as he tells the story.

I really enjoy hearing things about those who were behind the camera making the greatest shows on earth. This was an interesting podcast and sounds like Mr Baer was the right man for the job to serve at Howard’s funeral. When a person has kept the faith and fought a good fight, the homegoing is uplifting, nothing to be sad about. Another great podcast.
