Little is known about this charming lady. She has been referred to by fans a “Nice Dress Nellie” because in the episode that Barney arrests the whole town, “Andy Saves Barney’s Morale” as she is released from jail with the crowd, Andy acknowledges her and comments “Nice Dress, Nellie.”
According to assistant director Bruce Bilson, her was Marvel (her given name), but he did not give her full name. Marvel was a stand in for Don Knotts and Mr. Bilson picked her for the stand in job. She was seen over and over throughout The Andy Griffith Show series.
A listener to the podcast has a good theory and we need you to help us run this lead to ground.

In September 2015, a group of tribute artist gathered at Bellevue Baptist Church near Memphis, TN to perform a play called “Ernest T’s Rock Concert.” The play was written by David “Mayberry Deputy” Browning but a portion of the play, a segment called 23rd Psalms, was written by Joe Gritton.
Podcast listeners might remember the name Joe Gritton (known around the Mayberry internet world as “The Untrained Voice” ) as the writer of several episodes of Two Chairs featuring Bert Miller and Floyd Lawson. The first of Joe’s podcast episodes was way back in episode 17 of Two Chairs called, “Bert Miller Barbershop Flashback” and there have been several more “old time radio” type scripts by Joe since. A link to all is in the notes below.
Back to the play, we’re going to listen to, or watch, “Barney” try to recite the 23rd Psalm as “Floyd” holds the good book on him. Hopefully you’ll see a little of the “preamble to the constitution” or “an officer of the law” come through and have smile & a laugh to brighten your day.

The MeTV Network dedicated the entire month of May to Mayberry in 2020. It was a wonderful month of much needed Mayberry moments to distract us from the events happening in the world around us and giving fans the chance to share those moments together.
Wrapping up the Month of Mayberry, MeTV aired the 1986 reunion movie “Return to Mayberry” on May 31st. Fans of the podcast gathered, virtually, to watch the movie together as well as visit before the movie, after the movie and during commercial breaks. It was the next best thing to being there.
This episode we’ll talk about the reunion movie and thank MeTV for “The Month of MAYberry.”

Cort Howell is the son of Hoke Howell who played Dud Wash. Dud was Charlene’s husband who had been trained in gorilla warfare in the Army from which he was honorably discharged as a Private First Class. When Dud returned to Mayberry he still had all of Charlene’s letters, her hair ribbon, and the remainders of a mountain gladiola she’d given him proving he was “the sweetest boy whatever grow’d.”
Cort is one of the producers of the upcoming Mayberry Man movie. He’s working along side his brother Stark who wrote the Mayberry Man script and will be directing and Greg Schell, the son of Ronnie Schell, to bring the movie to the fans.
We hear about growing up around show business, how he came to watch/listen to Two Chairs No Waiting, updates on the movie, and about a behind the scenes report that I think you’ll enjoy.

There are people who come to Mayberry events dressed as characters from The Andy Griffith Showbecause they enjoy bringing smiles to the faces of those they meet. One such man is Keith Brown who you may have seen on the streets of Mayberry dressed as Col Harvey selling his Indian Elixir….good for what ails you.
Keith is much more that “Col Harvey.” He is a true fan of Mayberry, the people who live there and the fans who have made Mayberry their home town. This episode we’ll visit with Keith about his love for the show, trivia, and so much more that he does to spread the Mayberry spirit.
