Family Addiction

[OneAccord]

As far as I am concerned, there is only one TV show on TV. That is the Andy Griffith Show. If they ever stopped showing Andy, I will burn my TV and join the Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship.

I do not watch Mayberry RFD. (Sin)

The "Andy Griffith Show" movies like "Return to Mayberry" are an abomination.

*When Goober was 1st introduced on the show...his name was Goober Beasley (not Pyle)

*Andy and Aunt Bea (Andy G and Frances Xavier) did not get along. She was a well known movie star before joining the cast and always resented Andy because she was never given "star status".

* Andy G had an explosive temper. There are two episodes where his hand in bandaged up. On the show he explained that he had been in a "tussle" with some prisoners.
Actually, he got so angry, some say at "Aunt Bea", that he punched a wall and injured his hand.

* The man who played Ernest T. Bass, appeared on the show as 3 different characters. (And directed several episodes.). He played Ernest T, George the TV repairman, and an unseen radio announcer. Surprizingly, Ernest T. was featured on just 3 episodes.

* Andy did not like Barneys replacement (Warren Ferguson). He wanted Goober to become the deputy, but the producers rejected him because he was "too dumb". They brought in Warren, and Andy's displeasure in the choice can be clearly seen in Andy's lackluster performance on the remainder of the show.

* Leon, the jelly sandwich eating "cowboy" was Opie's (Ronny Howards) real life brother, Clint, who later starred in Gentle Ben". "Opies" dad, Lance Howard, appeared on at least two episodes, one as a bus driver.

*The "Mayberry" set was used in one episode of Star Trek when Captin Kirk and crew went back in time to earth. The famous Mayberry court house can be seen clearly.
