Back in January 2016, Two Chairs had an amazing series of episode featuring Neal Brower’s interview with The Andy Griffith Show assistant director Bruce Bilson. That original interview was recorded during “Professor Brower’s Class” at Mayberry Days 2011. If you haven’t heard them, check them out starting with part 1 all the way through to part 4. (https://imayberry.com/podcasts/tag/bruce-bilson/)
Bruce Bilson was assistant director of “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1960-62 (I said through 1963 in the episode) and in this series of episodes we’ll hear Neal’s interview from 2015 when Mr Bilson returned to Mayberry Days to share even more of his Mayberry knowledge. This first part of the interview has some amazing stories related to The Andy Griffith Show. The topics he will shed light on are: where and how episodes were made, scripts were refined, and what an amazing team Andy and Don were.
SPECIAL NOTE OF THANKS: Neil & Pat Coleman from the “Remembering Mayberry” chapter of TAGSRWC for providing the recording of Professor Brower’s Class from Mayberry Days 2015.

This is part two of the two part interview with Bernard Fox, Mayberry’s Malcolm Merriweather. The interview was recorded in 1998 at the 6th Annual Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous held just outside of the town of Bradford, OH.
He was only in three episodes of The Andy Griffith Show but “Malcolm” is a well remembered visitor to Mayberry. The role that most people outside of Mayberry likely remember best would be as Dr. Bombay, the warlock doctor on Bewitched. These are but two of the MANY roles played by this amazing actor.
The interview is performed by Mayberry, and pop culture, fan Dennis Hasty and was recorded live by my wonderful wife Jan.

This is the first of a two part series featuring an interview with Bernard Fox, Mayberry’s very own bicycle riding “Englishster” Malcolm Merriweather. This interview was recorded 1998 at the 6th Annual Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous held in the middle of a corn field near the town of Bradford, OH.
Though he was only in three episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, “Malcolm” is one of the most memorable visitors to Mayberry. Of course, I have to admit that for a long time Malcolm wasn’t the first role I thought of when Bernard Fox was mentioned. The role that many outside of Mayberry most likely remember him as would be as Dr. Bombay, the warlock doctor on Bewitched. Malcolm and Dr. Bombay are but two of the MANY roles played by this amazing actor.
Enjoy part 1 of this great interview by Mayberry, and pop culture, fan Dennis Hasty recorded live.

This is going to be a fairly long episode because I wanted to bring you the entire on stage interview with Sheldon Golomb (a.k.a. Sheldon Collins) who played Opie’s friend Arnold Bailey during the color years of The Andy Griffith show.
The interview was recorded at the 6th Annual Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous held in a corn field near the town of Bradford, OH back in 1998. This was the first, and one of only two, Mayberry event that Sheldon has attended. Dr. Golomb is a dentist in Colorado Springs, Colorado and has been running his own practice for 20 years.
Dennis Hasty is the interviewer and was the host of “Good Morning Mayberry” on Cincinnati’s WMOH 1450AM at that time. If you watch the video version of the podcast, you’ll see a much younger version of me as Floyd on stage as well.
The guest for the 1999 Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous were Sue Ane Langdon (Nurse Mary), Sheldon Golomb (Opie’s friend Arnold Bailey), and Bernard Fox (Malcolm Merriweather).

Part 2 of the interview with Margaret recorded on October 24-29 during the Mayberry Cruise. Margaret Kerry played Bess Muggins and Helen Scobey on The Andy Griffith Show and is wonderful person.
This episode is part 2 of 2 and I know you’re going to enjoy it. I would like to remind all the audio only listeners of Two Chairs that parts of this interview that would be most fun viewed on the video version but I’ll do my best to make sure it’s enjoyable either way.

On October 24-29, 2017 I had the special privilege of being on the Mayberry Cruise with Margaret Kerry (Bess Muggins/Helen Scobey). Margaret is an amazing lady who I have grown to love over the several years I’ve known her. She has so much talent and has a career with so many highlights that we will have a hard time hitting them all.
This episode is part 1 a series consisting of the interview I did with her during the cruise. I know you’re going to enjoy this series and I would like to remind all the audio only listeners of Two Chairs that there are parts of this interview that would be most fun viewed on the video version but I’ll do my best to make sure it’s enjoyable either way.

On the 11th of October 2008 the first episode of Two Chairs No Waiting was published. Since then I have created enough content to allow a listener to consume Two Chairs for 6 days and 15 hours. That’s almost 24 hours a day for a week. If you have listened to all of those hours, I’m amazed you made it through. Even if you’ve listened to the majority, I’m humbled and thankful.
This episode marks the 9th Anniversary of this show and I thought it would be a good place to just have a conversation about Mayberry. That’s what I did on a podcast hosted by John Lane called “Goober Say Hey” that recently ended it’s run after 23 episodes. John interviewed me for his final episode and we talked about a rang of Mayberry related topics to include Mayberry events held around the country, where The Andy Griffith Show was filmed, how I keep Two Chairs going, and much more.
This is going to be the longest episode I’ve ever posted so keep in mind you can pause and come back later if need be. So, sit back and enjoy two Mayberry fans talking about our love for The Andy Griffith Show. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring The Andy Griffith Show is going to be released as a SPECIAL Episode so it is featured, as it should be.
