Two Chairs No Waiting

Mayberry Days 2010 was BIG!  Big may not even be the word for it but the crowds were large and the folks friendly all over Mt. Airy, NC in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show (TAGS).

October 3, 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the airing of the first episode of TAGS and Mt. Airy began the celebration with style. Let celebrate on this episode of Two Chairs No Waiting the memory of Mayberry Days 2010 and the end of the podcast’s 2nd year!

Jim Clark, Presiding Goober of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC), pointed out to me that this episode is 104 or 10-4 (as Barney might say it).  The fun thing is that as I record the date is 10/4/2010 so I’m recording episode 10-4 on 10-4. Thanks, Jim, for making sure I knew that.

I hope you’ll sit down and enjoy a few minutes in Mayberry as we kick off the 50th anniversary year and remember so good times from Mayberry Days 2010.

I just kept on talking this episode so it is a little long. Sorry for that.  I’ll try to curb them hotflashes for the next year of podcasts.

Final segments of our visit with Andy Griffith at Mayberry Days 2004 and we have a special treat.  Andy sings the Mayberry Union High fight song! What a wonderful way to end this series of podcast devoted to the statue presentation to the city of Mt. Airy, NC.

We also have a wonderful call from a listener telling us about meeting Andy Griffith and what a wonderful experience it was.

Thank you, again, Doug Rogers for providing us with this outstanding audio of Andy’s comments.

Part 2?  What happened to Part 1?  Part 1 was done to celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast with Andy Griffith joining us in a recording of his address to the crowds at Mayberry Days 2004.  We continue that presentation with Part 2.

Andy discusses how they came up with the idea for The Andy Griffith Show and a bit about how the tone of the show was set.  He tells us if he’s getting rich off of re-runs of The Andy Griffith Show.  Andy also mentions the Presiding Goober of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club by name and that is BIG for all of us who are members.

2004 was the year that TV Land presented the Andy & Opie statue to the city of Mt. Airy.

Thank you to Doug Rogers for providing us with this outstanding audio of Andy’s comments.

To celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast, we have “the man himself,” Andy Griffith, joining us in the form of his address to the crowds at Mayberry Days 2004.

2004 was the year that TV Land presented the Andy & Opie statue to the city of Mt. Airy.  It was Andy Griffith’s request to TV Land that made this occur and Mayberry fans everywhere are thankful to Andy for making that request.

Thank you to Doug Rogers for providing us with this outstanding audio of Andy’s comments.

This episode is actually about news of the week.  It was hard to ignore that Mayberry’s very own Betty “Thelma Lou” Lynn was robbed this past week so tonight I’ll be giving you a report about that AND an update from Ms Lynn about how she’s doing.

We’re also going to talk about the fact that CBS will be sponsoring an actual NASCAR commemorative racecar paying tribute to The Andy Griffith Show’s 50th Anniversary! That’s BIG!

Two Chairs No Waiting

I’ve been getting a good bit of listener comments and questions over the last several weeks so I thought I would try and run through some of them this week.

I don’t pretend to be an expert in all things Mayberry so I may not have the answer to all the questions.  Hopefully you will be able to help me where I fall short on being able to provide what your fellow listeners are asking for.  Feel free to drop me a voice mail to let us all hear the answers you can provide.

Answers or not…let’s have some Mayberry fun in tonight’s show.
