TCNW 851: If I Met Andy
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 on Two Chairs way back in April 2012. I thought it might be worth sharing again. Andy Griffith appeared for the first time on the Grand Ole Opry back on November 13, 1999. Andy was there to present fellow Tar Heel Earl Scruggs with a North Carolina Hall of Fame award. When Andy joined Earl on stage and he received an extended standing ovation. Here even said, “I ‘preciate it” and then told a barbershop joke that George Lindsey had first shared with him years ago. Then Andy, with Earl and company backing him (and playing a guitar he used on The Andy Griffith Show) played and sang “Whoa Mule,” (also called “Flop Eared Mule”). Andy had performed that song with the Country Boys on The Andy Griffith Show episode “Mayberry on Record.” Enjoy the memory We’ll do a few trivia questions as well.

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.

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.

TCNW 849: Founders or Pounders Day Pageant 2021
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. Tim’s Talent Time that occurred during Mayberry Days 2021. We’ll watch, or listen to, the Mayberry Founders Day Pageant featuring many of our Mayberry tributes. This is performed on the Andy Griffith Playhouse stage where a school age Andy also once performed. The host for the pageant is Floyd the barber. This is one of the podcast episodes I would suggest you consider actually watching the video of if you normally just listen to the audio. I believe it would be worth the watch.

TCNW 848: Don Knotts 101
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 wrap things up with a little fun trivia that I think you’ll enjoy.

TCNW 847: 23rd Psalm by Barney
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 the writer of several episodes of Two Chairs featuring Bert Miller and Floyd Lawson. Joe has passed away but what he wrote still impacts the lives of us Mayberry fans. The first of Joe’s podcast episodes was way back in episode 17 of Two Chairs called, “” and there have been several more “old time radio” type scripts by Joe since. A link to all is in the notes below. We’ll go over some fun Mayberry trivia questions from Paul Mulik and related to things Floyd says, part 2 and we’ll do a few additional questions as well.

TCNW 846: Happy Valley, Shazam
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 we’ll look for answers to those questions related to Gomer’s “Shazam” and Barney’s “Nip it in the bud.” We’ll go over some fun Mayberry trivia questions from Paul Mulik and related to things Floyd says.

TCNW 845: Mt. Pilot or Pilot Mountain
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 characters and actors from The Andy Griffith Show to try and determine those that had served in the military. I realize that July 4th is not really about honoring our military but I figure there’s never a bad time to do so. I’ll present what I learned and ask for all of you to help me crowdsource information on cast and crew to develop a more complete list that we can publish on the site.

Unfortunately, the perennial winner is Clara Johnson, Bee’s best friend, and she has her heart set on winning her 12th blue ribbon in a row.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:40:39 Barney Gets His Man was the 30th episode filmed and the 30th aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S1.E30) Plot Summary Barney Gets His Man: Barney accidentally nabs bad-guy bank robber Eddie Brooke while issuing him a ticket for littering. Brooks tries to escape after spotting state troopers, but the troopers get their man. Before Brooke is carted off, he makes a point of promising revenge on the bumbling deputy responsible for his capture. Brooks manages to escape and is last seen making a beeline to Mayberry.
