We haven’t done any “fun” trivia in more than 20 episodes. We did do Mayberry Days trivia back in episode 299 but I’m not sure how “fun” that trivia is for most fans because we didn’t get more than one or two answers correct. Episode 284 was the last, what I call, “fun” trivia where normal fans of The Andy Griffith Show have a chance to actually answer the questions so here at the end of 2014 seemed like a good time to have fun.
These questions come from the 2013 Mayberry Cruise trivia contest. There were 22 questions in that contest and we’re only going to cover the first 11 questions on this episode. These aren’t as hard as Mayberry Days trivia but they are challenging.
So, sit back…put a thinking bucket on your head and we’ll have some Mayberry fun trying to get the answers to these trivia questions.

There is only one Christmas episode of The Andy Griffith Show and fans still enjoy watching it each year. I figure that listeners to this podcast enjoy hearing some of the same music each Christmas, too. It’s a tradition that we’ll continue here at Two Chairs No Waiting to enjoy some Mayberry related Christmas music.
We get to hear Ben Sandifer’s wonderful Mayberry Christmas poem.
We take a wonderful return trip down memory lane with Charlie Monk called “Andy & Opie Christmas.”
Some “Fred Upstairs” want’a be sings “Barney the Mayberry Deputy.” And we close out the show with Miss Ellie singing “Away in a Manger.”
God bless you and may the year to come be a wonderful blessing to you and yours.

In this “The Andy Griffith Show” season four episode entitled, ‘My Fair Ernest T. Bass’ which originally aired on February 3, 1964, Ernest T. Bass has a ‘blind date’ with Mrs. Wiley.” Be sure to visit www.BurkeOnMayberry.com .
I ran across a wonderful interview that first appeared in the Mt. Airy News on September 25, 2014. The story was written by Keith Strange and is titled “They Were Just Parents.”
In recent episodes, we’ve heard from George Lindsey Jr about his dad and this article brings Karen Knotts into the mix with both of them telling about growing up with famous dad’s. Keith did a great job pulling out details I had never hear so I know you’re going to enjoy this. A link to the original article is in the links section below.

We’re going to wrap up the last little bit of the George Lindsey Jr interview we did in episode 307 as it seems I left off about 3 minutes of information that I didn’t mean to cut.
Then we’re going to talk about some of the one of a kind Mayberry items you can find over at Weaver’s Department Store. It’s the Christmas season and there are so many things that fans of The Andy Griffith Show would love over at Weaver’s which were featured in the Weaver’s Newsletter and I didn’t want you to miss them.
Weaver’s Newsletter is a sister publication to The eBullet so if you enjoy The eBullet, you’d enjoy Weaver’s Newsletter as well.

Last episode we heard from George Lindsey by way of the very first interview I’d ever done with a cast member. This episode we get to hear from his son, George Lindsey Jr!
George Jr. joined Mayberry fans on the 9th Mayberry Cruise (2014) and had a great time visiting and sharing stories about his dad. The interview you’re about to hear was recorded live in front of a audience of fans that George Jr. called “family.” That’s what it’s like being a Mayberry fan….we’re family and it’s wonderful hearing one of the cast members “real” family say they consider us, the fans, an extended family.
You are going to enjoy George Jr’s memories of his dad and what it was like growing up with “Goober” as a “paw.”
