I really enjoy Old Time Radio (OTR) and that’s one of the reasons I did Two Chairs No Waiting #384 as an OTR special.  That love made me really enjoy a bit of feedback I got from Jim Romig about OTR and Mayberry.  We’ll talk all about that on this episode.

We’ll also talk about a question related to Andy’s hair color and try to get to the root of the question.

What if The Andy Griffith Show had been on the radio? I mean old time radio? Wouldn’t it be great to discover that there were lost episodes with our Mayberry friends in them?

Four years ago “Mayberry After Mid-day” was released here on Two Chairs but it was across two episodes (#191 &192). This speical edition is created to sound like an actual episode of The Andy Griffith Show from beginning to end.

Writer Joe Gritton provided a wonderful script featuring Mayberry barber, Floyd Lawson, and door-to-door salesman, Bert Miller. Sit back and use your mind’s eye to picture the goings on in our hometown of Mayberry, NC while listening to this “old time radio” program.

We begin “Mayberry After Mid-day” with Bert Miller walking down the sidewalk of Main Street heading from the Mayberry Grande toward the courthouse. As Bert nears Floyd’s barber shop, he slows down and considers sitting down for a rest on the bench outside the barber shop window. Join them now in Mayberry and hear what happens.

Last week we heard from Floyd and Bert all about Barney and Thelma Lou’s first meeting at Wilton Blair’s funeral and the romance that followed.  That was some hay ride.

As we left the pair, they were sitting in the barber shop beginning to talk about Mr. Schwamp and Nellie.

Let’s drop by the barber shop and see what other gossip they might be sharing about the towns people of Mayberry.   Let’s join them now and hear what happens.  Listen…..

Thank you to writer Joe Gritton has provided a wonderful script featuring Mayberry barber, Floyd Lawson, and door-to-door salesman, Bert Miller.

Do you know Lurene Tuttle?  No?  I bet you do but you didn’t even know it.  In past episodes of Two Chairs No Waiting I’ve talked about The Great Gildersleeve old time radio show. Turns out my friend Jimbo made me aware that there’s another connection between Gildersleeve and Mayberry.

It seems the role of Marjorie, Gildersleeve’s niece,  was played from the premiere radio program through 1944 by Lurene Tuttle. Tuttle was known as one of the most versatile actresses on radio, often appearing in 15 shows a week (Marjorie was junior to Tuttle by 20 years).

What?  You still don’t know who Lurene Tuttle is.

Lurene Tuttle played  “the shoplifter” in the The Andy Griffith Show episode The Shoplifter (episode #116).

I mentioned this online and our friend from the iMayberry Community, Briscoe Darling, made me aware of something I had never realized.   He let me know that the lady shoplifter was the same lady that played Annabelle Silby in Opie’s Charity (episode #8)!  Briscoe’s education is certainly worth every penny.

Another bit of trivia for you, Lurene Tuttle was the mother-in-law of composer John Williams?.

We covered some of the frequently asked questions about Barney on episode 179 of Two Chairs No Waiting so I thought it would be a good time to do the same for Andy.  We’ll look in to why Andy’s pant leg so often seems to be stuck on his boot and other trivialities.

While we’re looking into trivia, we’ll look into the happenings over at the iMayberry Community and see what the community of Mayberry fans have been visiting about.  It seems they’ve figured out the connection between Joss Whedon, the writer of the May 2012 movie The Avengers (you know Goober would want to see that one), and Mayberry.

It seems we may have found at least one more connection with the old time radio series “The Great Gildersleeve” as well.  If you missed it, check out Two Chairs No Waiting 61: Floyd and Otis, Brothers? for more information about ties between “The Great Gildersleeve” and Mayberry.
