Visit the Return to Mayberry set with Jim Clark and Ken Beck. The original telling of this story can be found in the April 13, 1986 edition of The Bullet and is written by Jim Clark, himself.
We get to hear Jim’s account of first meetings with Andy Griffith, Aneta Corsaut, Betty Lynn, Hal Smith and other cast and crew members from The Andy Griffith Show. Jim and Ken have written so many Mayberry book that I guess I’ve always felt they always knew these folks so it’s fun to hear a little insight into how it all began.
Reading Jim’s words, and you hearing them, takes us all along with him so we can picture in our minds eye that we were there with he and Ken. Thank big you to Jim and Ken for going to Mayberry and bringing us along.

Those of you who aren’t able to attend the “live” recording of Two Chairs No Waiting on Monday nights may never have heard of a song called, “The Andy Griffith Show of Women.” Well, I recently received permission from David Staples, the writer & performer, to play the song on the podcast.
In David’s own words, “The most sincere compliment you could give a woman is to compare her to the greatest show of all time.” September 5, 2011 is my 19th wedding anniversary so what better compliment can I pay Jan than to compare her to The Andy Griffith Show.
We’re also going to talk about the upcoming Mayberry Days event in Mt. Airy, NC. Mayberry Days is an annual gathering of fans of The Andy Griffith Show and occurs the last full weekend in September each year.

This is our pilot episode of the Mayberry Bible Study Podcast. I hope you enjoy your visit to Mayberry and grow at least a little bit in your walk to be more like Christ as well. I know that ANY study of God’s word is helpful so even a study inspired by The Andy Griffith Show can be used by Him.
Download the full lesson plan so you can follow along as you listen to the study. Enjoy your time with us here in Mayberry.
Lesson Introduction:
Luke Comstock, an ex-con, returns to Mayberry to see Andy about him having shot Luke in the leg during a robbery years ago. It crippled him and sent him to prison. Barney is convinced that Comstock is seeking revenge so he overreacts a little. Barney’s paranoia then spreads to Gomer, Otis, Aunt Bee, and Opie. Along with faith and courage, this episode also looks at repentance and forgiveness.
Lesson Points:

This episode we’re going to celebrate Betty Lynn’s 85th birthday. Why, you may ask? Well, the day I’m recording is August 29, 2011 which just happens to be Betty’s birthday and I though it would be fitting to tell “Thelma Lou” we all said “hey” on this, her special day.
The interview with Betty can be found on YouTube and was done several years ago at Mayberry Days by “Charles.” I don’t know Charles who but hopefully somebody listening to Two Chairs will be able to let us know so I can give proper credit.
Born Elizabeth Ann Theresa Lynn on August 29, 1926 in Kansas City, Missouri, Betty began acting in radio. She was later discovered in a Broadway production and signed to 20th Century Fox. She made her film debut in the 1948 film Sitting Pretty opposite Robert Young. That same year, she appeared in June Bride with Bette Davis followed by roles in Mother Is a Freshman (1949), Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), and Payment on Demand (1951).
In the 1953-1954 television season, Betty was cast as June Wallace, the fictitious sister-in-law of the Ray Bolger character in the ABC sitcom Where’s Raymond?
After guest starring on various television series Betty won the role of Thelma Lou on The Andy Griffith Show. She portrayed the role regularly from 1961 until 1965 and made a final guest appearance in one episode during the sixth season(1965–1966).
Following the end of The Andy Griffith Show, Betty continued appearing in various television and film roles. In 1986, she reprised the role of Thelma Lou in the reunion television movie Return to Mayberry in which Thelma Lou and Barney Fife were finally married. In 2006, Lynn retired from acting and relocated to Mount Airy, North Carolina, the hometown of Andy Griffith and the town on which Mayberry was loosely based.
Betty Lynn currently makes monthly appearances at the Andy Griffith Museum in Mount Airy to sign autographs and meet with her fans.

Two Chairs No Waiting
This is our 150th podcast so I was trying to find something special to do in order to mark the occasion.
What could be more special than hearing from Andy Griffith himself. DON’T GET EXCITED….he isn’t going to be ON the podcast but his words will be here for us all to hear.
Back in November 1996 Andy wrote an article in Guidepost titled “Journey to Health.” It’s an uplifting story about his struggles with Guillain-Barre syndrome and how, with the help of his wife Cindi, he has overcome and dealt with his pain.
The road to Matlock went through this trying time but Andy Griffith was able to pass through the darkness he was suffering and into the light.
I hope you enjoy this wonderful story as you celebrate our 150th episode.
