Andy and Barney made the mistake of complimenting her when they were barely edible. So then she continued to make more. That episode always had me giggling uncontrollably.<br />And Andy and Earnest T.

I think my favorite though is the Christmas episode when mean old Mr. Weaver makes Andy arrest the moonshiner (can't remember his name). So Andy arrests the whole family, deputizes Aunt Bee and Opie and it turns into a big Christmas party in the jail. In the end Mr. Weaver wants to join in the fun but won't say so and Salem Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544950900664044425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-17083724071036055682012-07-04T09:37:49.040-05:002012-07-04T09:37:49.040-05:00One of my all time favorite shows is The Andy Grif...One of my all time favorite shows is The Andy Griffith Show.

Andy sat at the piano and the cast stood around him and listened to what he had to say. The year was 1966. No one in town knew he was home for a visit, but by the end of the evening the auditorium full. Word of mouth in the small town of Mt. Airy was fast.MJMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198428517151429262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-76092553857875002802012-07-04T08:57:36.387-05:002012-07-04T08:57:36.387-05:00I loved him in Mayberry, but really got hooked on ...I loved him in Mayberry, but really got hooked on Matlock -- I love me a man in a seersucker suit and an aw shucks "gotcha" !
