Back in episode 203 of Two Chairs No Waiting we had a look at several appearances of Andy Griffith on the CBS game show, What’s My Line? On September 8, 2012 The Buffalo News published an opinion piece that focused on what happened behind the scenes. (Thanks to WBMUTBB Chapter member, Joe, for letting us know about this.)
That’s right, a person that appeared on that same episode with Andy wrote in to the paper with a wonderful story of meeting Andy and his time on What’s My Line? The fellow was a Pumpkin grower and was the first contestant on the 31 October 1965 episode of What’s My Line? His name is William “Bill” Price and he was 16 years old in 1965. I hope you’ll enjoy his story.

The Labor Day holiday is upon us here in the ole US of A so it had me thinking that there were several times jobs/labor were talked about in the town of Mayberry. We’ll visit with Aunt Bee, Gomer, and Opie as they attempt to find jobs in our home town.
Aunt Bee gets her job from some folks using green ink to print…things. Gomer gets fired by Wally and tries to find a different job all the while staying with the Taylor’s at their house.
We’ve talked about Opie getting a job (back on episode 131 of Two Chairs) but we’ll look at it from a slightly different point of view this time. All-in-all the jobs in Mayberry don’t seem too hard to get but keeping this is like holding on to a greased pig.
Come on with me and let’s visit in Mayberry.

In this “The Andy Griffith Show” season four episode entitled, ‘Gomer The House Guest’ which originally aired on November 4, 1963, Andy invites Gomer to stay with the Taylors, but loses sleep over the offer.
There may be some folks out there listening that have never heard of an old CBS Television game show called “What’s My Line? In a recent edition of the “Who’s Beeen Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?” Digest, Chapter member David Quinn discovered a clip from 26 April 1959 of “What’s My Line?” that featured the man himself…Andy Griffith.
That got me to looking around and I found two more clips of Andy appearing on “What’s My Line?” His first appearance was on 22 June 1958. He was then on the 26 April 1959 episode that David found. So far as I know his only other, and final appearance, was on Halloween night 1965.

Many Mayberry fans have known about the Mayberry Cafe in Danville, IN for years but I’m betting there are those of you who may not know that this central Indiana bit of Mayberry exist.
Thanks to Two Chairs No Waiting roving reporter, Tom Rusk, we have an interview with Brad and Christine Born. The Born’s are the owners of the Mayberry Cafe which opened back in 1989! Complete with a Mayberry patrol car out front, the cafe is a sight to behold. The menu consists of items like “Aunt Bee’s Fried Chicken,” “Barney’s BBQ Ribs,” and “Howard Sprague’s Ham Steak.” Oh…and don’t forget “Floyd’s Fish Sandwich” or “Ernest T’s Bacon-Swiss Burger”…they’re goooood.
Thanks to Tom for doing this interview for the podcast and if you’re in Danville, be sure to drop by 78 W Main Street and tell the Born’s that “Floyd” said “Hey.”

Listener Jerry from Cullman, AL called in with a voice mail related to a “strange and curious happening” that occurred during The Andy Griffith Show episode “A Black Day for Mayberry.” I began to look into the events that happened throughout that episode and I have determined that Count Istvan Teleky may, indeed, have been traveling through Mayberry in November of 1963 (when the episode was originally aired).
We see coats going from dry to wet and back to dry in seconds. Entire men disappearing or changing their appearance right before our eyes. Pants having gas on them…and then they don’t. There is certainly something afoot and we’ll get to the root of it in this episode of Two Chairs.
Thanks to Jerry for shining a light on this episode of The Twilight Zone…err…I mean “The Andy Griffith Show.”
