It’s been quite a while since I’ve gone over any of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Way back on episode #179 we talked about Barney’s FAQs and then in #183 we went over Andy’s FAQs. I figure after four years, it’s time to get some FAQs about Aunt Bee.
We’ll cover 9 FAQs about Aunt Bee:
1 How do you spell Aunt Bee’s name?
2 Aunt Bee speaks these lines in an episode: “Mum’s my name. Silence is my game. Tick a lock!” In which episode does she speaks them?
3 Aunt Bee one time said Opie was coming down with the “pip.” What’s the “Pip?
4 Aunt Bee was Andy’s father’s sister, because they have the same last name. Since Barney’s last name is different, but he still calls Bee “Aunt”, his mother was probably their sister, as well?
5 How many other characters (besides Opie, of course!) call Bee “Aunt”? Don’t Goober and Gomer call her Aunt?
6 Has anyone noticed that the stove in Aunt Bee’s kitchen never has all the burners turned off when she is not cooking. In “Romeo & Juliet”, she was not cooking anything, but the knobs on the stove were turned on.
7 Was Aunt Bee’s bedroom ever shown in an episode?
8 What was it that Andy and Barney thought Aunt Bee’s marmalade smelled like?
9 I’ve noticed Aunt Bee sings Chinatown in several episodes. How many was it?

It is indeed sad, what happened in Ms. Bavier’s real life, but what she provided for us TAGS fans was nothing short of wonderful. Whether its the infamous “Pickle Story” or “Aunt Bee’s Medicine Man”, Ms. Bavier always put in a fine performance. Sad to hear as well that she and Andy didn’t have a good relationship, we forget sometimes that these are actors and most times they are farther from their characters than we would like, with that said, Aunt Bee will always be one of the most endearing characters in the history of American television.
