Last episode we talked about the writers of The Andy Griffith Show. As I said then, they don’t get mentioned as much as the actors but it was the writers that actually created the characters we all loved. Without the writers, we wouldn’t have gotten the stories about Opie’s Newspaper, Divorce Mountain Style, and ALL the other amazing moments that happened in Mayberry. It was the writers who created the town of Mayberry and helped the actors make it come to life.

There’s an out of print book called “Inside Mayberry: ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ Handbook” by Dan Harrison and Bill Habeeb that gives us an entire chapter on the writers. I’m going to share the insight the Harrison & Habeeb divined in their chapter about “The Writers.” I’ll be doing some reading but hopefully the story told is good enjoy to excuse having the host read to you.

By popular demand, we’ll finish hearing from the writers this week. Many of you asked for it…so here we go.

The writers of The Andy Griffith Show don’t get mentioned as much as the actors but it was they who actually created the characters who Andy, Don and the cast portrayed. Without the writers, we wouldn’t have gotten the stories about baby birds without a mamma, unusual mountain folks, and the many other special folks who live in Mayberry. It was they who created the world in which Barney and Andy lived and made it come to life.

There’s an out of print book called “Inside Mayberry: ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ Handbook” by Dan Harrison and Bill Habeeb that gives us an entire chapter on the writers. I’m going to share the insight the Harrison & Habeeb divined in their chapter about “The Writers.” I’ll be doing some reading but hopefully the story told is good enjoy to excuse having the host read to you.

The last few episodes we’ve been talking about things that some of the greatest writers of The Andy Griffith Show took the time to share with fans and I’ve certainly been enjoying celebrating these master writers.  The conversation led one of our Two Chairs No Waiting listeners, Joe Gritton, to write in and share his insightful thoughts about writing.

Long time listeners of Two Chairs may well remember Joe Gritton’s name from previous “flashback” episodes of the podcast written by him that featured lost scenes from The Andy Griffith Show with Floyd the barber and door-to-to salesman Bert Miller.  There are a total of 4 episodes of Two Chairs completely credited to Joe’s writing and while Joe calls himself “The Untrained Voice,” I believe you’ll join me in saying his education is worth every penny.

Be sure to head over and listen to Joe’s “flashback” episodes and I hope you enjoy his comments in this episode.

Back on TCNW #230 I mentioned finding several letters from TAGS writer Harvey Bullock.  Harvey wrote 32 episodes of TAGS and I have several wonderful letters he wrote to me answering questions that fans had asked him and writer Everett Greenbaum.

This episode we’ll find out exactly what is the “pip” and other things like what is Pygmalion and what does it have to do with The Andy Griffith Show.  See….you really do learn things from Mayberry.

I know you’ll enjoy the show.

I was going through my collection of Mayberry stuff recently looking for items that might be of interest to fans of The Andy Griffith Show (TAGS) when I found several letters from Harvey Bullock.  Fans may already know that Harvey wrote 32 episodes of TAGS.  What you may not know is he was a member in good standing of the “Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?” (WBMUTBB) Chapter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC).

As a member of WBMUTBB, Harvey would often see questions related to episodes that he had written and he would offer answers to those question.  At times, the questions were about episodes that fellow writer Everett Greenbaum had written and Harvey would take the time to go see Everett and get the answers from him.

Let’s hear what these wonder writers have to share with us and get some of the back story of Mayberry.
