TCNW 828: Needles and Pins

Running time: 0:34:38

We have a YouTube comment last week that I attempted to address but I wasn’t happy with the answer. So, I researched what “needles” and “pins” meant in the episode “Jailbreak” (S2.E18) meant Clarence “Doc” Malloy (Allan Melvin) and Barney exited the cell and both say “So far, so good” at the same time. Barney, forcing Malloy to lock pinkie fingers with him, says “needles” while Malloy says “pins.” What does that mean?

I found the answer in the book Inside Mayberry by Harrison & Habeeb (1994) and went on to find the original source so if little things like this bother you, I have your answer.

A couple of folks called us this week so we’ll hear from them.

Then we’ll play Mayberry trivia base on the topic “Car trouble” submitted by Paul Mulik.
