Two Chairs No Waiting
We’ll be talking about The Andy Griffith Show episode The Bookie Barber this week and we’ll hear some feedback from your fellow listeners.
What got me thinking about The Bookie Barber was the current episode (#67) of the Burke on Mayberry podcast in which that episode was the topic. Kevin Burke, the host, did a fun review of the episode and I thought it would be nice tie in to tell you folks about some strange and curious happenings in Mayberry during that episode.
I hope you enjoy that as well as the feedback about past Two Chairs episodes from listeners.
Don’t forget to leave comments or ask questions on the iMayberry.com/podcasts website or using the contact information given in the podcast. We’d love to have you be a part of our next feedback episode.

Two Chairs No Waiting
Do you remember the story about Myray Lambert? No…not Myra Koontz, that’s a completely different story. I’m talking about the “news” Opie and Howie were sharing in the original version of “The Mayberry Sun.”
Frequent listeners will remember that in episode #36 of Two Chairs No Waiting we were discussing “the bomb” comment made in on TAGS episode “Opie’s Newspaper.” (Feel free to pause and go back to give#36 a listen if you missed it.)
While researching that comment, I was re-reading Neal Brower‘s wonderful book Mayberry 101 and ran across a nice insight for fan of The Andy Griffith Show and thought it was something you’d want to know or be reminded of if you have Neal’s book.
The quote I read is found on page 427 Mayberry 101: Behind The Scenes of a TV Classic by Neal Brower | John F. Blair publisher

Q. Were there any TAGS scripts which were written but never filmed?
A. Yes .Paul, I wrote one ..( I don’t know if other writers wrote any.) Our unfilmed episode was THE WANDERING MINSTREL, which I wrote with Ray Allen Saffian for the 1962-1963 season.. It featured a charming footloose guitar player we called “Wally Jordan.” ( based on an actual musician Andy had great respect for, Brownie Mcghee)
Andy had constantly spoken in praise of Brownie, so it was inevitable someone would write the story. We wrote the outline and then the fully completed script. Now the weird part. To this day nobody on TAGS can give a reason why it wasn’t filmed. It’s still a mystery.
If you’d like to read the script, it is printed in its entirety in Richard Kelly’s seminal book THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW .. Pickled Tink to hear from you. Harvey B

In the episode Opie’s Newspaper when Barney mentions “It must be the bomb,” did you ever wonder what he meant? We’ll we’re gonna find out on this episode of Two Chairs No Waiting.
For those that don’t remember, Opie’s Newspape is where Opie takes his cue from the adults and spices up a penny newspaper he and his friend Howie publish with gossip he’s overheard. When Barney and the Taylors get a look at the new issue, they have to scramble to collect the copies before they are read by the rest of the town.
In the episode, Opie delivers the first edition of the “Mayberry Sun” to Andy and then to Barney at the courthouse. Opie reports that he’s having a hard time selling his paper so Barney and Andy try to help by telling him he needs to branch out in his coverage. Opie & Howie do just that and figure that the adults in town seem to enjoy the “Mayberry After Mid-night” section of the paper the most and set out to make their paper have that type content.
Just after Opie and Howie finish the first run of their revised paper, Opie delivers copies to Barney, Andy, and Aunt Bee in the Taylor’s kitchen at breakfast time. Opie leaves them with the paper and goes out to place free copies in everyone in Mayberry’s hands or, in most cases, front porch.
The “It must be the bomb” comment comes while they are reflecting on the heat.

I listened to the last episode of Two Chairs No Waiting and, well….I just didn’t feel like I did justice to the memory of Howard Morris. So, I’m going to take this chance to right that wrong and share with you some of *my* memories of Howard Morris. I’ll give you some insight on a special evening that I will never forget.
