Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:27:58 I’ve been going through old files on my computer and came across a poem by a person with the username “Al Becker” from 2001. This poem really makes you think about what it would be like to meet not only Andy but many of the cast members from The Andy Griffith Show. What would your say to them? How would you feel when you met them? I’ve been lucky to have met so many of our friends from Mayberry and I can say this poem helps me to remember those wonderful times. I also ran across some video from 1999 that I’ve shown here...

Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:29:42 We had a voice mail and many other comments about enjoying the clips from the Colonel Tim’s Talent Time show that is somewhat of a final show for Mayberry Days each year. So, I ran across a clip where somebody has stolen Floyd’s pants and he’s trying to get them back. I hope you’ll enjoy this. I recommend you watch the video version of this episode even if you usually just listen to the audio. I believe it would be worth watching. The video clip was provided by Neil & Pat Coleman so a BIG thank you to...

Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:34:11 Folks seemed to really enjoy the video of Psalm 23 from episode 847 of the podcast so I thought I would share a highlight from Col.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:27:07 This week marks the 101st birthday of the amazing Don Knotts. Don, of course, played Deputy Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show, Ralph Furley on Three’s Company and starred in the The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964), The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966), The Reluctant Astronaut (1967), and The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975). That’s just a short list and much more can be found online and in books about this amazing man. I felt like it was only fitting that we revisit some of the highlights of his life and career as we remember his birth. We’ll...

Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:31:20 I’ve been looking through old videos the last week or so and ran across a wonderful routine that David “The Mayberry Deputy” Browning and I did back in September 2015. A whole group of tribute artist gathered at Bellevue Baptist Church near Memphis, TN to perform a play written by David called “Ernest T’s Rock Concert.” A portion of the play, this segment called 23rd Psalms, was written by Joe Gritton. Podcast listeners might remember the name Joe Gritton (known around the Mayberry internet world as “The Untrained Voice” ) as...

Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

As I mentioned last episode, on a recent trip to TAGSRWC HQ in Nashville, I was presented a tub full of articles, papers, stories, and more. As I was going though the papers, I found a great “Howard’s Notes” article from 1997 sent into TAGSRWC HQ by The Mayberry Texans chapter. This one was about Happy Valley. You know…what Chief Noogatuck said he’d call the valley that contained Mayberry. We’ll learn about that valley on this episode. I have also been thinking about “catchphrases” fans have grown to love and where did they originate. This episode...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:30:53 On a recent trip to TAGSRWC HQ in Nashville, I was presented a tub full of articles, papers, stories, and more. As I was going though the papers, I found a great story from 1994 sent into TAGSRWC HQ by The Mayberry Texans chapter. It was about Pilot Mountain, or as Mayberry fans know it best, Pilot Mountain, N.C. This history lesson for both the fictional Mt. Pilot and the actual Pilot Mountain is something I believe fans will enjoy. This being Independence Day week here in the U.S.A., I did a little research on...
