I’ve been covering some of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) often received about The Andy Griffith Show in past episodes. Those were focused on “main” characters (Andy, Barney, & Aunt Bee) so I thought I’d focus on the supporting role characters to give them some credit for making the town of Mayberry come alive.
Here’s the FAQs we’re going to cover:
1 Count Istvan Teleky
2 Who played the old thin white haired gentleman who sung for Barney he was behind the curtain while Barney thought he was singing.
3 Was there ever more than one person that played Asa?
4 I saw the movie “TITANIC” and thought I saw Malcolm Merriweather. Which character did he play?
5 Why do the outfits worn by the two “G-men” on the episode “A Black Day for Mayberry” change?
6 In the episode about Frank Myers and his $100 savings bond the credits show a production assistant also named Frank Myers. Is that where the name came from?
7 Wasn’t there more than one Wally?
8 There’s a man that’s on a bunch of episodes in crowds wearing a white hat but they never tell his name. Who is he?
9 There were several references to Mrs. Clara Edwards (she was the pickle champion, so we know she was married) but not many to Miss Flora Edwards…Anybody know the story, or is there one?
10 In the episode where the English tourist, Malcom, stays with Andy to pay off his fine, whose car does he use to drive Andy to the courthouse?
11 What was Mayor Pike’s first name?
12 How many different actors played the part of Ben Weaver?
13 One of the girls who gathered in Andy’s house to meet Thelma and raised the question “What did we turn out for?” sounds like Judy Jetson. Was it the lady who did Judy’s voice on “The Jetson’s” cartoon?
14 The guy who sold Andy the “canning jars” for Aunt Bee also playeed Mr. Simms and the guy who Andy sentenced to either “$10 or 10 days in jail…You got chickens to throw, you got chickens to sell.” Who was the actor?
15 Does anyone know who the actor that played Mr. Schwamp (Mr. Schwump)? How’s his name spelled?
16 What is Big Maude saying when she sends Floyd to town? It sounded like AKKA BAKKA.
17 What actor holds the record for appearing on TAGS in the most different roles?
18 The absence of black people in any town in the South is an impossibility. Did the writers deliberatly script only white people for the show?
19 Was the “Gold Truck” episode the one and only appearance of Doodles Weaver..(AKA-Regis)? Was he not the father of Sigourney Weaver?

On October 11, 2008 the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast was launched and with episode 397 the show reaches the 8 year milestone. Eight years matches the time that The Andy Griffith Show was on the air in it’s original run. It’s amazing that so many of you have joined me for the 397 episodes it took to reach this point.
Over the course of the podcast, if you listened to every episode, you have consumed 5 days, 19 hours, and 41 minutes of content related to The Andy Griffith Show. For perspective, The Andy Griffith Show itself is about 4 days and 12 minutes in total length.
Because of this podcast and The Andy Griffith Show I’ve been blessed to do so many things and to get to know so many friends. It’s because of you that I keep coming up with things related to Mayberry for us to discuss each week. You are what makes Two Chairs happen and I thank you!

We’ve had reports from “on the scene” and heard from Betty related to her birthday back on 29 August 2016 but on this episode we get to hear from some of the folks who traveled to Mt. Airy, NC to be part of “Thelma Lou’s” birthday celebration. These are fans, just like you and me, who we able to make there way to the Andy Griffith Museum and wait in line to get Betty’s autograph and to spend just few minutes in her company.
What would make someone travel to the town of Mt. Airy, NC just on the chance of spending time with someone they’ve admired for years? Why is was it important to them? Let’s ask them and see what answers we get about what brought them to be there in that line.
