Late this past week an online “news” site posted a story claiming to identify the “true” identity of Mr. Schwamp. My darling person, Jan “Mrs. Weaver” Newsome, found the story and went straight to work trying to debunk it as being fake. I joined in the search for the truth and I can say that the published story is wrong. So, we’re going to try to “nip it in the bud” before Mayberry fans everywhere begin to believe the bad reporting.
Frank E. Myers, the production manager for The Andy Griffith Show, is NOT Mr. Schwamp nor is he (as the story claimed) Danny Thomas‘ brother. I have evidence to prove my reporting which was not really all that hard to find so I would not trust the website that carried the story (I’m not linking to them in the links below because they don’t deserve a link to a story that’s so wrong).
Let’s play some trivia to clear the bad vibes and then hear from Randy. This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Sheldon Leonard” Part 4.

There are characters that appeared in Mayberry that we all remember so well that we assume they were often on the show. I’ve been amazed, when I started looking, at how few times some of our favorites actually visited Mayberry. Ernest T. Bass was only on five episodes. Briscoe Darling was only on six and the subject of this episode was only on four with only three of them being as Daphne.
Jean Carson not only played Daphne beside Joyce Jameson’s “Skippy” but only 5 episodes after her first appearance as Daphne in “Barney Mends a Broken Heart” she was back in Mayberry as husband beater “Naomi Connors” in “Convicts at Large.”
After we talk a bit about Jean we’ll have a few trivia questions to have fun with and then hear from Randy. This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Sheldon Leonard” Part 3.

Every week I work on trying to come up with ideas of things to talk about here on the show. It isn’t that I don’t have ideas, it’s that I have too many and I keep shifting from one to another depending on what episode of The Andy Griffith Show I watched most recently. This week, it was easier to stay focused because I wanted to talk about Ron Howard.
This week we celebrate the birthday of Ron Howard. He’s 67 this year and what an amazing career and life he has had. He started “acting” when he was only a baby and has really been going strong ever since.
We’ll try our hand at five “tough” Mayberry trivia questions that I picked up at an event sometime in the past. See how you do.

I was watching The Andy Griffith Show today and the episode “The Case of the Punch in the Nose” was on. I started laughing and smiling right from the start and so I wanted to talk about it with you. That’s one of the things I love about doing this show, being able to talk about what I love about The Andy Griffith Show with you.
I also wanted to let you know about a fellow named Dave Sundstrom and his YouTube videos about Mayberry. He has several but one of his latest ones is about Mr. Schwamp. I’ll address a few things about his video and make sure folks know all that’s known about Mystery Man Mr. Schwamp.

Looking back, the last episode I dedicated to listener feedback was almost a year ago in Two Chairs #577 (April 14, 2020). I’ve been trying to fit feedback into portions of other episodes in the mean time but I thought it was time to focus and hear from you.
We have a lot of written feedback from YouTube and the TwoChairsNoWaiting.com website for this show and on bit of voicemail as well. Topics vary but they’re all Mayberry so lets have some fun!
