I’ve had several folks send me things related to previous episodes and I feel like it’s time to catch up with them. Mayberry folks are some of the best people you’ll ever meet and we have several “trained noticers” in the audience that we’ll hear from.

We get some answers related to some “Who Said It” questions Jan and I asked in the last episode. Several folks sent in answers and I’m very thankful to hear from all of you but I’ll have to pick a few representatives.

Larry wrote in to point out something unusual about the original air date of the episode “A Date For Gomer” and that many, if not all, of the books on Mayberry get it wrong.

Paul Mulik sent in some great “Who Said It” questions with a bonus question that will make you scratch your head. And finally, I’ll remind everyone of upcoming Mayberry events you may want to plan on attending.

This episode we dive into the second episode of The Andy Griffith Show, “The Guitar Player.” The original Air Date: 1960/10/17. The writers are Jack Elinson and Charles Stewart. It was directed by Don Weis. We meet the character Jim Lindsey for the first of two times. Jim, of course, is played by the wonderful James Best. Mr. Best appeared often at Mayberry related events over the years before his passing on April 6, 2015.

We play some Mayberry Song Trivia we began last episode and see how we can do. Hopefully you’ll have fun.

We’ll wrap up by trying to identify “Who Said It” and we’re joined by Mrs. Weaver herself. Jump in where you can and hang on.

This episode we’ll be digging into the second episode of The Andy Griffith Show, “The Manhunt.” The original Air Date: 1960/10/10. The writers are Jack Elinson and Charles Stewart. It was directed by Don Weis. We see Otis for the fist time and we here the phrase from Barney that, I believe, Mayberry fans may quote more than any other, “It’s Big!…..Ah, big ain’t the word for it.”

I make a correct from last weeks episode to clear up something that was once believed to be true but is now known to be a misconception. (During this episode I erroneously reported that a publicity photo of a young Frances Bavier is seen on the wall of the Taylor living room as Andy walks from the kitchen to the front door. It will be seen in several first season episodes. As pointed out by Randy Turner in his fantastic collection of essays, Mayberry Firsts, the picture is in fact a print of the painting Child With An Apple by the French artist of the 18th century Jean-Baptiste Greuze.)

We play some Mayberry Trivia to see how we can do, just for fun.

We’ll wrap up by hearing from some of you.

I’m going to try and do something different for a while. I’ve started to do this before but always faded off on it and didn’t follow through. We’re going to try and talk about one episode of The Andy Griffith Show most every week followed by some trivia and then talk about some cast birthdays.

That’s the plan but, we’ll see how well the plan survives the year. ha ha

This episode we start with the first episode of The Andy Griffith Show which is called The New Housekeeper. It first aired on October 3, 1960 and started everything that we still celebrate to this day.

NOTE: During this episode I erroneously reported that a publicity photo of a young Frances Bavier is seen on the wall of the Taylor living room as Andy walks from the kitchen to the front door. It will be seen in several first season episodes. As pointed out by Randy Turner in his fantastic collection of essays, Mayberry Firsts, the picture is in fact a print of the painting Child With An Apple by the French artist of the 18th century Jean-Baptiste Greuze.

We play some Mayberry Trivia to see how we can do, just for fun.

Finally, we check how which cast members have birthdays between January 1st and 19th to remember them all with smiles and joy.

This episode we’ll listen to, and I recommend watch, a skit performed during Col. Tim’s Talent Time at the 2023 edition of Mayberry Days. Mayberry Days is held in Mt. Airy, NC (Andy’s hometown) the last full weekend of September each year and Col. Tim’s is the wrap-up of the main portion of Mayberry Days.

Col. Tim’s is something you almost need to experience to understand but I would say it’s kind of a “Who’s Line is it Anyway?” type of performance with random things happening throughout. It always sells out so I believe it’s good enough to keep folks coming back year after year and it’s always a different show.

This episode we experience “Count Istvan Teleky” with Tim Pettigrew as Goober, Terry Varvel as Barney and Allan Newsome (me) as Floyd. The trio re-create the scene of the three in the backroom of the Mayberry courthouse conjuring “the Count” and making wishes.

We have a few voice mails from listeners and then we’ll wrap things up with a few trivia questions from the 2023 Mayberry Cruise.

Thank you to the folks that attended the Mayberry Meet-up 2023 for your support of the podcast!

I found, or somebody sent it to me, a 1990 article from the Jackson Sun newspaper (Jackson, Tenn.) that covered Frances Bavier. It went into a bit of what she was like in real life versus what we all think of her as from TV. She wasn’t “Aunt Bee” and the story goes in to ways she differed from the character in her daily life.

We’ll go over the article and then I’ll add a few tidbits about Ms. Bavier that may help you realize that while she wasn’t “Aunt Bee” in real life, she did have at least some of “Aunt Bee’s” character living within.

Well wrap things up with a few trivia questions from the 2023 Mayberry Cruise.
