Flipping thought channels a short while ago and there was a rerun of the Andy Griffin Show. It was the one where Gomer made a citizen's arrest on Barney. In that episode Andy gave the month and year that Barney became a deputy in Mayberry.

Do you know the month and year ?


Your turn :)

Don't remember dates, but first time I remember Barney being a deputy, he called Andy his cousin. In later shows he was referred to as la ong time friend.

The best part was Barney could only have 1 bullet and had to keep it in his pocket.

If he had it in his gun he would have shot himself in the foot. That would have not been allowed back then.

Andy was at the filing cabinet, with Barney beside him, and pulled out a paper and said "Lookie here August 1953 --it's been ten years ago last month that I swore you in" . That was paraphrased by the way but the date was exactly as Andy said it.

I guess the answer would be August 1953 that Barney became a Deputy in Mayberry --- right :) :)

Don't remember the month and year, but I beleive it was the very first episode.
Andy's house keeper left, and Aunt Bee came.

Mayberry comes on right after the 5pm news every day.
I'm an hour away from Mt. Airy, Pilot Mt, etc.

And I'm about 45 minutes away --- that means you really need to show up for Mayberry Days this coming year and this is a personal invite :)

I'd love to go to that. We have some videos of that show, and I always enjoy watching them.
