There are characters that appeared in Mayberry that we all remember so well that we assume they were often on the show. I’ve been amazed, when I started looking, at how few times some of our favorites actually visited Mayberry. Ernest T. Bass was only on five episodes. Briscoe Darling was only on six and the subject of this episode was only on four with only three of them being as Daphne.
Jean Carson not only played Daphne beside Joyce Jameson’s “Skippy” but only 5 episodes after her first appearance as Daphne in “Barney Mends a Broken Heart” she was back in Mayberry as husband beater “Naomi Connors” in “Convicts at Large.”
After we talk a bit about Jean we’ll have a few trivia questions to have fun with and then hear from Randy. This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Sheldon Leonard” Part 3.

Every week I work on trying to come up with ideas of things to talk about here on the show. It isn’t that I don’t have ideas, it’s that I have too many and I keep shifting from one to another depending on what episode of The Andy Griffith Show I watched most recently. This week, it was easier to stay focused because I wanted to talk about Ron Howard.
This week we celebrate the birthday of Ron Howard. He’s 67 this year and what an amazing career and life he has had. He started “acting” when he was only a baby and has really been going strong ever since.
We’ll try our hand at five “tough” Mayberry trivia questions that I picked up at an event sometime in the past. See how you do.

It’s time for some fun Mayberry trivia right out of the book “Mayberry Trivia” by Scott Hopkins. Scott’s book is full of fun trivia that’s not too hard and is meant to be somewhat challenging. After the “Mayberry Days Trivia Championship 2020” questions from a few episode ago, hopefully you’ll enjoy these questions and feel better about your Mayberry knowledge.
The chatroom during the live recording ranged from getting 2 questions right all the way up to all 20 questions. See how well you can do and then head to Weaver’s to pickup a copy of Scott’s book.

In episode 602 we tried out hand at the Qualifying Round questions from Mayberry Days 2020.
Now it’s time for the final rounds of the 2020 Mayberry Days Trivia Championship.
Round 1 will have ten questions with each being worth 100 points. Incorrect answers are worth negative 100 points. So keep up with your score and remember to remove 100 points for any missed answers.
Round 2 (worth 200 points each) is also 10 questions. Incorrect answers are worth negative 200 points. Guessing really hurts your score so keep that in mind.

We’re continuing to celebrate the 60 years of The Andy Griffith Show following the October 3rd anniversary. This week we’re going to talk about Nashville, TN and it’s contribution to keeping Mayberry alive for all these years.
As part of that, we have to talk about the fellow who has kept The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club healthy and moving forward since the fall of 1979 when TAGSRWC was established, Jim Clark. As “Presiding Goober Emeritus”, that ’emeritus’ part of his title had slipped by my notice until not too long ago, Jim has had a hand in pretty much every Mayberry endeavor since that humble beginning of TAGSRWC.
This article by Joe Rogers (founder of the “Otis Campbell” chapter) ran in “The Nashville Ledge” on September 18, 2020.

What great memories I have from Mayberry Days 2020. It was the 31st Mayberry Days held on the 30th anniversary of the first Mayberry Days and just a week before the 60th Anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show. While the attendance for 2020 was not what it normally is because of the Covid-19 issues, it was a welcome time of normalcy in what has been an unusual year. In this episode we’ll work through the Qualifying Round questions and answers of the 2020 World Championship of Mayberry Trivia.
The qualifying round is just to qualify for the Finals of Mayberry trivia. If you qualify, you end up facing past Mayberry Days Trivia champions and other qualifiers from this round and the “kids” trivia winners.
The Grand Champion of Mayberry Trivia for 2020 was, for the 5th time in a row, Jim Sherrill. Jim has been the champion in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and now in 2020. He deserves a lot of credit for his education and the speed of his buzzer finger. We’ll go though the questions from the finals in a future episode.
This episode also marks the start of year 12 +1 of Two Chairs….I’m just being cautious.

Now is a great chance to grab your friends that watch The Andy Griffith Show from time to time and believe they know everything about it and throw a trivia question at you like, “What was the name of the barber shop in Mayberry?” I know you, since you listen to this podcast, hear that question and have a hard time keeping a poker face while you pretend to have to think about the answer.
This trivia is, mostly, for the very casual fan of The Andy Griffith Show. I think that they will enjoy this and it should make you feel pretty good about your knowledge of the greatest show ever made. Sit back, grab some popcorn, and join in on the Mayberry fun with these easy trivia questions.
