I’m always looking for things we may never have seen related to our friends in Mayberry. That being stories, photos, articles, or just about anything touching on either the characters on The Andy Griffith Show or the actors who played them.

I recently ran across an article from the Los Angeles Times from January 12, 1960 titled “Howard McNear as Acting Specialist” and felt like I had struck gold. There isn’t any talk about his time on The Andy Griffith Show because McNear first appeared as Floyd in the episode “Mayberry Goes Hollywood” on January 2, 1961, almost a year after this article was published. He had already been a barber on TV tough because he appeared as “Andy the barber” on season 2, episode 8 of “Leave it to Beaver” called “The Shave” (November 20, 1958). It was a memorable yet fairly small role that may have paved the way to Mayberry.

I realize I’m a bit biased toward this actor but I hope you’ll enjoy hearing a bit more about him and his career before “Floyd.” I’ve done nine episodes of the podcast about Howard McNear but since I’ve done about 740 episode that are not about him, I think I’m balancing pretty well.

We’ll play some trivia to wrap up the fun. Sit back and enjoy the show!

You are in for a treat this week. I came down with laryngitis, or something like it, so my wife is hosting this weeks show. Jan Newsome, Mrs. Weaver herself, will be doing most all the talking and I’m just running the technical side of the show.

She asked me what she should do the show on and I told her it was her choice. She chose to give you some of her favorite quotes from The Andy Griffith Show. She organized them by character so you’ll have fun remembering when these quotes were said and laughing along with us as we remember some of our favorite scenes.

Jan will give a brief report on this past weekends Mayberry Comes to Scottsburg event and if you’re watching the video version, you’ll see a few photos taken during the weekend. Hopefully this first Mayberry Comes to Scottsburg will be an annual event fans can look forward to attending.

Don’t forget about the Mayberry Meet-up coming in July 2023 (link below to register and for information), Mayberry Days in September, and the Mayberry Cruise the end of October. Lots of Mayberry fun coming in the next few months so jump in where you can and hang on.

Jan also has a little trivia for you to enjoy.

A big thank you for her stepping up and doing this for us. Y’all be sure to let her know if you enjoyed the show.

Last week we talked about the first spin-off from The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., and I thought it fitting to talk about the one that was more of a continuation of the original, Mayberry R.F.D.

During the eighth and final season of The Andy Griffith Show, widower farmer Sam Jones (played by Ken Berry) and his young son Mike (played by Buddy Foster) were introduced and became a part of the Mayberry family. They continued on into the Mayberry R.F.D. series as the focus and brought much of the town of Mayberry along with them. This series kept the town alive in our hearts and minds after Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) moved away with Helen, whom he marries on the first episode of Mayberry R.F.D, and Opie.

I’m looking forward to the fact that the full series has been released on DVD and I can now be sure I’ve seen all the episodes.

Play some trivia with me and see how we do. Enjoy the show.

Jim Nabors birthday is this week so I thought this would be a good time time to talk about the show that made him famous. Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. originally aired on the CBS television network from September 25, 1964, until May 2, 1969. The series was a spin-off of The Andy Griffith Show with the pilot episode airing as the fourth season finale on May 18, 1964.

Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. was also a major ratings hit, just as was it’s parent from Mayberry, never placing lower than tenth in the Nielsen ratings and ending its run as the second-highest-rated series in the United States.

We play some trivia and see how we do. I hope you enjoy the show.
