“Andy on Trial” is Season 2, Episode 29 (overall series episode 60) of The Andy Griffith Show. It originally aired on CBS on April 23, 1962. Directed by Bob Sweeney and written by Jack Elinson and Charles Stewart.

We’ll go over some Mayberry trivia all about Andy on Trial.

Plot Summary Andy on Trial:
J. Howard Jackson, a wealthy newspaperman, seeks revenge on Sheriff Taylor after Andy tracks him down for failing to appear in Mayberry court for a traffic violation. Unwittingly, Barney becomes a key witness in Jackson’s attempt to remove Andy from office, supplying female reporter Jean Boswell with information that is eventually used as evidence against Andy. When Barney is called to the stand, he is able to dispel all doubts that Andy is an honest man of the law and a true public servant.

We’ll go over the answers for the trivia questions.

We’ll cover the “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode.

It’ll be a good time so I hope you’ll join us.

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.
