This episode is a real treat for us all in that we get to hear from Opie’s buddy Howie Pruitt himself. Dennis Rush spends almost an hour visiting with us and telling stories of growing up as a child actor in Hollywood. We focus on The Andy Griffith Show, of course, but Dennis’ career is an amazing story and I know you’re going to enjoy.
He tell about working with so many of the stars that most of us dream of ever just having a chance to see in person. Dennis worked with them and has stories about each. We could easily have spend another hour going through what he was able to accomplish before he was even 17 years old.
Sit back and get ready for a long episode. Take your time, pause and come back if need be, becasue you will not want to miss a minute.
There’s no trivia this week because of the episode length so you have another week to study up.

I’ve had several folks send me things related to previous episodes and I feel like it’s time to catch up with them. Mayberry folks are some of the best people you’ll ever meet and we have several “trained noticers” in the audience that we’ll hear from.
We get some answers related to some “Who Said It” questions Jan and I asked in the last episode. Several folks sent in answers and I’m very thankful to hear from all of you but I’ll have to pick a few representatives.
Larry wrote in to point out something unusual about the original air date of the episode “A Date For Gomer” and that many, if not all, of the books on Mayberry get it wrong.
Paul Mulik sent in some great “Who Said It” questions with a bonus question that will make you scratch your head. And finally, I’ll remind everyone of upcoming Mayberry events you may want to plan on attending.
