Dies und das:

In early episodes, to the right of the cells above the glass-covered shelves is a small picture of President Woodrow Wilson and the presidents before him. Later, during most seasons, a different poster is there, also of the presidents, this time up to Dwight D. Eisenhower, and was published by Women's Day Magazine in 1956.

Pannen:

Fehler, die von Charakteren gemacht werden (möglicherweise Absicht der Filmemacher): In "Gomer Pyle USMC", each time Gomer mentions the United States Marine Corps, he mispronounces the word "corps." The proper pronunciation is like "core", but he says it like "corpse."

Dialogzitate:

Andy Taylor: Where can we find this Ernest T. Bass?
Dud Wash: Aww, he's a pestilence and a pestilence will find *you*... you just wait.

The show closest to my heart

Being a small town man,I think it makes sense that my favorite all time TV series is set in a small town.In this complex world we live in,I bet we all,whether we admit it or don't,long for the stress free world that the fine folks of Mayberry live in. There are countless things I love about this show.For starters, Andy's relationship with Opie warms my heart to no end.Having had to grow up without a dominant male figure in my life,I always secretly considered Andy my father figure.Deputy Bernard P. Fife,played with expert comic style by Don Knotts. Barney was indeed a bumbler,but can you name a real life law man who had as much dedication and heart? Couldn't you just smell the wonderful aroma of Aunt Bee's home cooking? Floyd Lawson,played by Howard McNear,was second only to Don Knotts as perhaps the funniest individual on the show.McNear,throughout most of his years on the show,was very ill,having suffered a stroke early on,but he continued on playing this beloved character.What dedication.I don't know if he ever won an Emmy for this role,but he darn sure deserved one.The Pyle cousins, Goober and Gomer were,and still are an absolute riot.What else can I say but let's hop in the car and go to Mayberry. To me,it's not a question of whether or not you like the show, but rather a question of which episode is your favorite?
