It was also rumored that she didn't much like people either. After she retired and moved to N C she became a virtual recluse and wouldn't have anything to do with anyone. Actually had a pretty nasty attitude.

Just wondering if any body ever saw an obscure little tv movie called Pray for the wildcats. Starred Andy Griffith, William Shatner and Marjoe Gortner.
Andy's Character was pure evil. He was the meanest kind of man. After that Sheriff Taylor never looked quite the same to me. I never would have believed that He could play such a part and play it so well. He had acting skills that a lot of people never saw.

I used to tend bar at a place that catered to daytime drinkers. The regulars would line up to watch the Three Stooges, followed by Andy Griffith, then Newhart.
The best tip days were when Curly was on the Stooges episode and Barney was on Andy Griffith.
It was grim when it was a Shemp followed by a non-Barney.
By the time Newhart came on they were usually hammered and playing "Hi Bob".
I still remember the poem the Mayberry kids used to taunt poor Barn:
There once was a deputy called Fife,
Who carried a gun and a knife.
The gun was all dusty,
And his knife was all rusty,
Because he never caught a crook in his life.

That is another of my favorite EPs as well as the haunted house episode w/ Gomer in it.

Speaking of not getting along, Fred and Ethal did not like each other either.

He made a movie called "A Face In The Crowd" about a superficially charming, manipulative, amoral con man. Played it very well. Pretty depressing little flick, and he showed his versatility as an actor. I suspect I was one of maybe seventeen people in North America who saw it.

It's my favorite show of all time. No cussing, no nudity and no real violence. Just a homey little town I would love to live in.
My favorite characters are Rafe Hollister for one. I had a comment on doctors yesterday about the episode where Ainge took the county nurse up to his farm to give him a tetanus shot. He said we don't need no doctors, as nobody gets sick up there. "When I was born I had my Momma, when I die I'll have the undertaker, don't see any need to mess things up in between".They showed him a thermometer. He says he has one on the barn, only bigger. They said it showed how hot HE was. He said "I know how hot I am...DANG hot". They reminded him he said nobody gets sick up there. He responded "Balls a'fahr, Ma'am, bein' hot ain't sick, sooner or later you're bound to get cold agin'".
We need more guys like Rafe.
Then there was Ainge's girlfriend, Peggy McMillan. She was a BABE! Looked remarkably like my first real girlfriend.
They made 249 episodes. About 20 years ago I taped 'em all.
Still watch 'em.

Speak in of more favorites, this reminds me of another favorite. Remember when they thought the goat ate the TnT. Every time there was an explosion, some lady would call the sheriffs office wondering if it were the Yankees.

I can't imagine one worse than that unless it involves human sacrifice or Otis and farm animals.....My late brother and I exchanged short and frequently scurrilous parodies of TV shows, B movies, TV commrcials, etc.
We had one running gag with Aunt Bee as a dominatrix and Floyd her best client.
There were others that were much worse. Blasphemy, I know.

I just threw up in my mouth.
...........though the thought of Floyd being hurt is somewhat comforting. I just wouldn't want him to enjoy it.
Frances Bavier (Aunt Bee) wasn't bad looking in her younger years. Here's a pic from her better days.

I think there was only one character on the show that was married and he was the drunk. All the others were not married.
I love to watch the reruns.

I seem to recall Otis being hitched (maybe why he drank
), but after watching the show all these years, I've never caught that observation.Good point.

I actually quoted Barn today when I submitted my latest PI column for the newspaper. I am talking about child custody cases, something I have been very successful in investigating. I mentioned I advise my clients to keep a journal. This will help them remember events, can be used in court hearings, and as my favorite LEO, Barney Fife advised Ainge....."it's Therapetic".
Barn wasn't talking about keeping a journal, I think he just wanted Ainge to bare his soul about his heartbreak with his latest girlfriend, but I like the quote.

Don Knotts, who played Barney, was a regular on the old Steve Allen show on TV. Steve did a gag "man on the street" interview schtick often.
One night, he approached Don as the "man on the street", and it went something like this, as I remember. Don was mostly known as "The little shaky guy."

Good evening sir. What is your name?
K..K...K...B...B... M-M-Morrison.
And what do you do for a living, Mr. Morrison?
I-I-I- p--p--p--put th..th..p-p-pins in h-h-h-hand grenades!
I see sir. I can sure see that would make one very nervous. By the way, what does "K.B." stand for?
"K-K-K-KA-BOOM!"
-------------------------------------------
Totally cracked me up, and I never forgot it. They don't make 'em like that any more.

Rafe was a married moonshiner. I'd like to think they hung out with the Campbells.

It just dawned on me why Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet....nobody was married.
Here are the single people that come to mind: Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Ernest T Bass, the Darlin family, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara...
In fact, the only one married was Otis and he stayed drunk.

My wife and I picked on this back in the 60s ....we laughed and watched to see what danger the big handsome guy would get each week.
