Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:28:14 Back in episode called “,” I made what turned out to be a mistake that resulted in me being told I wasn’t “southern” and should have gotten a southerner to translate what Andy said for me. Well, I’m here to try and earn my southern card back since I was born, raised, and live in Alabama. (It’s hard to get things dune down here without my southern card.) I’ll fix my error and try to help folks born after the 1940’s understand what caused my confusion.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 1:01:29 It’s Christmas time here in Mayberry and time for the annual Christmas episode. The Andy Griffith Show had only one episode centered around any holiday and that holiday was Christmas.

Misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace. Drove down main street with a cutout open and a real flying cloud. If you don’t immediately recognize that line of dialog, you can be forgiven….mainly because I didn’t remember it myself so if you don’t recall it right away, I’ll feel better.

The Manicurist was the 48th episode filmed and the 48th aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S2.E16)

We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about “The Manicurist.”

Plot Summary The Manicurist:

Shapely young Ellen Brown pops into Mayberry in search of a friendly town where
she can make a living as a manicurist. When she lays claim to a corner of
Floyd’s Barbershop, the men of Mayberry aren’t quite sure how to act. It isn’t
long before they come around to liking the whole idea, and it’s the wives who
become less than enthusiastic.

We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode The Manicurist.

We’ll go over the answers to the trivia questions.
