He was on two different "movies" that year and it was easy to tell that the cartoon character was Don Knotts. There's a new cartoon called "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated" that just started last week and the first episode was titled "Beware the Beast from Below."  I mention this because the crowd at the beginning of the episode had standing there, front and center, the Don Knotts character from back in the 1970's.

That's a question that has been on the minds of fans for years and, like any good mystery, still keeps them guessing. Mr. Schwamp, also known as Mr. Schwump by some, is the older dark haired man you often see sitting on the bench outside the barbershop or in groups of people in Mayberry. Over the years, every cast and crew member of The Andy Griffith Show has been asked if they know the name of the actor who played Mr. Schwamp. While all of them remember him, none of them knows his real name.

Running time: 0:13:22 Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:13:22 A fellow fan of The Andy Griffith Show, Matthew Morgan, contacted recently to tell me that he'd seen something special while watching Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.  This is certainly "inside baseball", so to speak but big Mayberry fans will remember and hopefully enjoy our trivial meanderings through the world of Mayberry, NC. In the season 7 episode of The Andy Griffith Show "Barney Comes to Mayberry", yeah..it is color but stick with me, Barney Fife returned to Mayberry and happens to be on the same train with Teena Andrews, a Mayberry native returning to town for the premiere of her new Hollywood movie. Teena's publicity man learns she used to date Barney back when she was known as Irene Flogg so he arranges for Barn to escort her to the premiere. Now that you're up to speed on who Teena Andrews is, you'll want to give a listen to find out how Teena shows up in the Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. season 4 episode called "Change Partners." I also want to mention Movie's for the Blind where you can download and listen to, currently, 4 episodes of TAGS like they are audio books.  I think you'll enjoy it and it's a great service for those Mayberry fans who are visually impaired.

Running time: 0:15:48 Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:15:48 The time between Christmas and New Year is normally a very slow time for podcast listeners so I thought I'd focus on something that you might enjoy but that isn't part of Mayberry. The NEW Andy Griffith Show debuted January 8, 1971 and was Andy Sawyer rather than our beloved Andy Taylor.  This was Andy's second try at returning to television after leaving The Andy Griffith Show/Mayberry R.F.D. The first being "The Headmaster," a half-hour drama from the fall of 1970 where Andy played the character Andy Thompson and was headmaster of a prestigious private school located in California. Headmaster ran until January 1, 1971 and was cancelled. One week later, Andy Sawyer appeared as the focus of The NEW Andy Griffith Show. Sawyer was a man returning home to Greenwood following time spent in state government.  The mayor of Greenwood was retiring and the town wanted Sawyer to return to be the mayor. Andy Sawyer has 2 children and a wife named Lee played by Lee Meriwether. The pilot episode was written, produced and created by Aaron Ruben how had lead the creation of the first five years of The Andy Griffith Show.  Andy Griffith also brought in Lee Phillips, who had been the director for most of the last two seasons of The Andy Griffith Show, to direct the pilot and Earl Hagen to create the theme song and music for the NEW show. To kick off the first eisode, they also brought in George Lindsey as Goober Pyle and Paul Hartman as Emmett Clark both of whom were currently a part of Mayberry, R.F.D.  This was confusing because it was Andy "Sawyer" and not Andy "Taylor" yet the two of them knew Sawyer like they were old friends. Emmett and Goober has traveled to Greenwood to ask Sawyer to try to have the city rezone some land they wanted to use to start a business. Don Knotts showed up as "an old friend" on that pilot episode as well. It was a nice scene between Griffith and Knotts but one could only wish it was Fife and Taylor rather than Sawyer and "old friend." The show was cancelled on May 21, 1971. This was the same year that Mayberry, R.F.D. went off the air and was the first time in eleven years that some form of Mayberry was not on CBS on Monday nights.

Running time: 9:24 Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:09:24 Do you remember the story about Myray Lambert?  No...not Myra Koontz, that's a completely different story.  I'm talking about the "news" Opie and Howie were sharing in the original version of "The Mayberry Sun." Frequent listeners will remember that in episode #36 of Two Chairs No Waiting we were discussing "the bomb" comment made in on TAGS episode "Opie's Newspaper." (Feel free to pause and go back to give#36 a listen if you missed it.) While researching that comment, I was re-reading Neal Brower's wonderful book Mayberry 101 and ran across a nice insight for fan of The Andy Griffith Show and thought it was something you'd want to know or be reminded of if you have Neal's book. The quote I read is found on page 427 Mayberry 101: Behind The Scenes of a TV Classic by Neal Brower | John F. Blair publisher ----------------------- Q. Were there any TAGS scripts which were written but never filmed? A. Yes .Paul, I wrote one ..( I don't know if other writers wrote any.) Our unfilmed episode was THE WANDERING MINSTREL, which I wrote with Ray Allen Saffian for the 1962-1963 season.. It featured a charming footloose guitar player we called "Wally Jordan." ( based on an actual musician Andy had great respect for, Brownie Mcghee) Andy had constantly spoken in praise of Brownie, so it was inevitable someone would write the story. We wrote the outline and then the fully completed script. Now the weird part. To this day nobody on TAGS can give a reason why it wasn't filmed. It's still a mystery. If you'd like to read the script, it is printed in its entirety in Richard Kelly's seminal book THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW .. Pickled Tink to hear from you.

We'll we're gonna find out on this episode of Two Chairs No Waiting. Running time: 12:16 Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:12:16 In the episode Opie's Newspaper when Barney mentions "It must be the bomb," did you ever wonder what he meant?  We'll we're gonna find out on this episode of Two Chairs No Waiting. For those that don't remember, Opie's Newspape is where Opie takes his cue from the adults and spices up a penny newspaper he and his friend Howie publish with gossip he's overheard. When Barney and the Taylors get a look at the new issue, they have to scramble to collect the copies before they are read by the rest of the town. In the episode, Opie delivers the first edition of the "Mayberry Sun" to Andy and then to Barney at the courthouse.  Opie reports that he's having a hard time selling his paper so Barney and Andy try to help by telling him he needs to branch out in his coverage.  Opie & Howie do just that and figure that the adults in town seem to enjoy the "Mayberry After Mid-night" section of the paper the most and set out to make their paper have that type content. Just after Opie and Howie finish the first run of their revised paper, Opie delivers copies to Barney, Andy, and Aunt Bee in the Taylor's kitchen at breakfast time.  Opie leaves them with the paper and goes out to place free copies in everyone in Mayberry's hands or, in most cases, front porch. The "It must be the bomb" comment comes while they are reflecting on the heat.

Don Knotts left this earth in 2006 but we will never be without the love, laughter, and joy that he continues to provide us all whenever we watch him perform or remember performances of the past.

Some Odd Fact Known by Few from the episode Runaway Kid. Running time: 0:12.24 Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:12.24 Discussion about Myers Lake guest staring in an episode of The Rifleman. The exact location where Andy and Opie walked during the opening of The Andy Griffith Show was where the stars of The Rifleman were spotted strolling. Help us identify other classic TV series that also used Franklin Canyon..err Myers Lake for filming. Odd Fact Known by Few Speaking of the Actor of the Man  I have an interesting bit of trivia for you. In the episode: Runaway Kid If you remember, that's the episode where Andy finds himself in a dilemma after teaching Opie a lesson about the importance of always keeping your word. Opie has made a sacred trust not to divulge that his new friend, George "Tex" Foley (Pat Rosson) is a runaway. Andy must grapple with violating Opie's trust or returning the boy to his family and explaining that there is always an exception to every rule. Well, here's the "odd fact." When Andy is talking to George about leaving for Texas, Andy is laying on the couch looking toward George who has the kitchen door wall behind him. Suddenly the double doors from the other side of the room are behind George when he says, "It ain't?" (time 18:33) then there's a cut and George is back where he should be. George then walks behind the couch around past the fireplace and then where the double doors are behind him from Andy's view. Andy "Too bad that ain't cowboy rations" and THEN Tex says, "It ain't?" (time 19:49) exactly the same as he had said in the shot just about one minute before. The first occurrence is also a "reversed" image of the second shot. The times are from the season one DVD. Floyd joins us as well with his Thoughts from Floyd segment.

When you start around the lake....stop at the first parking area and walk over toward the wooden railing. Looking down from the road you'll see an area of dirt....that's the area where Andy and Opie walked. If you get past the wooden railing...you're too far. The other side of the lake is where Howard was fishing for "ole Sam".

From the San Fernando Valley, From the Ventura Freeway (101) or Ventura Blvd. Take Coldwater Canyon Boulevard south to the intersection of Coldwater Canyon and Mulholland Drive. Make a 90 degree right turn onto Franklin Canyon Dr. There is no street sign "Franklin Canyon." Road signs read "Road Closed 800 Feet" "Sunset to Sunrise"; this is the park entrance. Do NOT make a "U-Turn" for this will bring you onto Mulholland Drive instead of Franklin Canyon. Stay on paved surface to reach the Sooky Goldman Nature Center and continue south of the lake for 1.5 miles to reach the Franklin Canyon Ranch Site area. ---------------------------- As you enter the "loop" that goes around the lake (it's one way so this should make it easy to describe), you will have a wooden railing on the left. That railing is where Andy stopped on "The Return to Mayberry" and looked down at Myers Lake.  There is a parking area about 40 yards down on the left. Park there and walk over to the railing just to the left of the parking area (not the railing that on the main road but the wooden "fence" that keeps folks from falling down the slope.   When you look down the slope you'll see the path. This is where Andy and Opie walked.  There's a wooden picnic table down there.
