This past week I ran across a nice article about The Andy Griffith Show on the website CloserWeekly.com. It was called Mayberry Exposed and it got me thinking about Andy and the gang. Where they began. What made them different. Why the show still attracts fans after 50+ years.
Let’s review some of the things we know about Mayberry and see if we find an answer along the way.

Over the last several years, I’ve come to realize that there are folks out there that don’t know all the trivial trivialities that I have absorbed in my travels. Things I think everyone knows…they have never heard or, as Ernest T. might say, it “didn’t take” for them. This is one of those things.
Actor Olan Soule, who played John Masters on five episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, was the voice of Batman in several cartoon series in the late 1960’s through the early 1980’s. Mr. Soule also had a long career in radio and commercials. This episode we’ll learn more about Mayberry’s Batman.

The gentleman’s gentleman, Malcolm Merriweather of England, passes through

In this season five “The Andy Griffith Show” episode entitled, ‘Opie Loves Helen’ which originally aired on September 21, 1964, Opie develops a somewhat secret crush on Helen, and Barney tries to help!
This past weekend was the very first Two Chairs Meet-up held at Two Chairs headquarters in Huntsville, AL. Over the course of the weekend folks were able to enjoy the company of fellow Mayberry fans, watch episodes, look through the Mayberry collection at Two Chair HQ, visit Weaver’s Department Store and so much more. It was relaxing weekend of being with friends. No conflict to deal with….it was Mayberry.
Make plans to be with us in July for the 6th Mayberry Meet-up in Mt. Airy, NC 20-22 July 2018.

This week we’re going to time travel back to the fall of 1991 and the Mayberry Cast Reunion held at Opryland in Nashville, TN. Cast members Don Knotts, George Lindsey, Betty Lynn, Maggie Peterson, Hal Smith, Jack Prince, The Dillards (Rodney Dillard, Mitch Jayne and Dean Webb, plus talented non-cast-member Steve Cooley) and Doug Dillard performed and reminisced about Mayberry. TAGSRWC Presiding Goober, Jim Clark, was there and provided this special report of the events in the February 15, 1992 issue of The Bullet newsletter.
Enjoy a trip back to one of the very first Mayberry cast live events ever held. It was BIG!

There was a “lady barber” in Mayberry? We’ll, no…not on The Andy Griffith Show but in the town that Mayberry is loosely based upon there is a lady barber with Mayberry ties. Her name is Donna Hiatt and she’s the niece of Russell Hiatt who owned and operated “Floyd’s City Barber Shop” on Mt. Street in Mt. Airy, NC until he passed away in May 2016. Donna has a great story to tell and writer Bill Colvard of The Mt. Airy News captured it in ink on the last day of 2017.
