This past week I went out to my mailbox and what a wonderful surprise I found in there. Someone had placed a copy of the Weekend section The Huntsville Times from Friday December 17, 2021 in there featuring the coverstory ‘“The Andy Griffith Show” inspires new film starring Alabama Man.‘ When I asked my wife, Jan, if someone had mentioned they were dropping off a copy of the article for us she said nobody had mentioned it to her.
How nice that someone would hold onto a paper for almost a year and a half only to gift it to me. That really means a lot and it truely is a “Mayberry” thing to have done.
As you may have guessed, the article is about the Mayberry Man movie and it’s a good one so I thought it would be something you folks might enjoy.
On May 23, 2023, Rik Roberts and I will be attending the International Christian Visual Media (ICVM): 50th Annual Crown Awards where Mayberry Man is finalists for Best Comedy.

It’s May and for the past several years the MeTV network has shown extra MAY-berry things throughout the month. This year, they are kicking off the first weekend of MAYberry with the TV reunion movie, Return to Mayberry, on Sunday May 7, 2023 @4pm ET. Hopefully you aren’t getting this episode late and missed it but even if you are, I think you’ll find things here that you’ll enjoy learning about the movie and what happened to our Mayberry friends.
The movie originally aired on April 13, 1986; almost 18 years after the series ended. Sixteen original cast members reunited to reprise the characters fans all came to know and love during the 8 years of The Andy Griffith Show. On April 11, 1986 the New York Time wrote an….unfriendly review of the television movie saying it was “a less appealing reunion for the audience than it may have been for its actors.” Well, they were proven wrong because “Return to Mayberry” was the highest-rated television film of 1985-86 with around one-third of the TV-viewing public having tuned in to the broadcast.
We’ll even play a little Return to Mayberry trivia. Come along with us and let’s have fun talking Mayberry.

When did The Andy Griffith Show first come into being? That’s the kind of question answered in the book by Randy Turner called “Mayberry Firsts” and we’ll learn the answer to that question on this episode. Randy’s book if full of fun and interesting information like what you’ll hear on Two Chairs No Waiting. If you want more stuff like this, head over to Weaver’s Department Store and pick up Randy’s book.
We hear from several folks who wrote into the podcast with questions this week. One of the questions I don’t know an answer to so I’m hopeful someone listening/watching might be able to help. Another bit of feedback comes from an Andy Griffith Show cast persons family member and I think you’re really going to enjoy hearing it.
Finally, we play some fun trivia that I hope you get a smile out of playing.

I get a lot of comments from folks saying how much they enjoy the trivia questions we do here so I figured you might enjoy these questions that show up in The Mayberry Puzzle Book (Season 1). The questions aren’t really meant to be trivia questions but they certainly do appear to fit the bill. We’ll play the first one in the book which covers the first episode of The Andy Griffith Show, “The New Housekeeper“, and maybe you’d like to get yourself a copy of the puzzle book from Weaver’s Department Store and play all the puzzles from season one.
We hear from a couple of listeners/viewers of the podcast as well so come on and give it a listen or a view.

I have been going through the Two Chairs No Waiting archives looking at things I have collected over the years. Photos, flyers, clippings and stories about our friends in Mayberry. I’ve been collecting these things for a while so it’s like finding “new” things. They aren’t new but I haven’t seen them in 20 or 30 years so they seem new when looking at them now.
One that I ran across was a story by Steve Maze from Alabama and his personal encounter with George Lindsey. It was written in 2003 but the encounter happened in 2001. I thought this would be something you would enjoy hearing and reliving along with me.
We’re gonna play trivia but this time we’ll do things a little different than we have been. You have two chances to answer the question. You get 2 points if you can answer without help and 1 point if you have to wait until the multiple choice selection is presented. I thought this would be a fun change of pace.
Enjoy the show and let me hear what you think about it. I’d love to hear from you.
