For most of the country yes. For those of us lucky enough to live in Phoenix or Tucson, No. Dads been out working in the open air shop since before 9 this morning. Only reason I'm posting is I had to search for some information, and need to start my CE Hydraulic Engineering Homework.
 
Rose.
She got married and left. Now if you ask the name of the guy she married,you've got me stumped.
 
dont remember his name,but,,,later on he played Mr Foley the market owner in the episode where aunt Bee bought a side of beef from someone else,Andys freezer broke down,and she had to take the beef to ask Mr Foley to store it for her,He did it for her,Would you do it ? lol
 
Well,if I lived in Mayberry I'd be expected to do it whether I wanted to or not. lol
There were a lot of actors who were recycled on there. I'm drawing a blank of the name of the moonshiner who they entered in the singing contest,but he was on there a few times with different names. I don't think he had the same name when they flushed him out with the state inspector riding along with them.
 
Rafe Hollister sang he had a different name when the flushed him out of the barn, He sang lookdown and riding on that mule river train,at the musical festival,for Mrs Jeffries and the mayor
 
New River runs through the New River Gorge in West Virginia. Don't know if that's the one the song is about,but there's a rail road track that runs along that one. I've been rafting down there on the Gauley out of Hinton.
 
The best TV show of all time. Good clean humor and always a moral to the story too. I own them all on DVD and watch them with the kids on a regular basis. They love the show, even the older ones with no color. Why can't they make TV shows like that today?
 
They kinda did. There was a Canadian show called Corner Gas. It was filmed on location in Rouleao Saskatchewan. Absolutely the best rural/small town comedy since Andy Griffith. I've got 5 seasons on DVD. I need to get the sixth season.
It was clean humor,made fun of city folks by making you see them through the eyes of the one city gal among them. Everything they did made perfect sense to them (and me). She was the odd person out.
We had a woman here who died of Lou Gehrigs disease eventually. She'd sit here watching that show all day long,over and over laughing as much as her illness would let her.
Corner Gas
 
I'm thinking of the 8N Ford when Sam's (Beckett? Was that his name) wife was having a baby and he was out working at night.
Then I think Ken Berry was working on a newer Ford when they went out to ask him to run for City Council. Were there more?
 
thats the ones I was thinking of! Also when the italian family came to stay at Sams Farm the Italian father ran the blue ford into the barn door,that was a later episode
 
RRlund, I live 20 miles from Hinton and 5 miles from the new river. I also own 16 acres on banks of the new river at a place called Cedar Branch. The New river heads in NC and empties into the Gauley and they form the Kanawha and then to the Ohio and then the Mississippi.It is the 3 oldest river in the world and it flows North like the Nile. Henry Ford and Harvey Fireston used to camp on the New river about 10 miles from where I live.There is not many places along the new river that I can think of that a train track is not close by.
 
Wife stuck her head in and asked what I was doing ?

I said reading about "CORNER GAS"

As she pulled back quickly, she said, " SMELLS LIKE YOU ARE PARTICIPATING ! "
 
Beautiful country around there! We stayed up in Beaver,rented a cabin up there. We went over to Theater West Virginia one night to watch the Hatfields and McCoys. We made it til intermission and one HECK of a storm came up so we didn't see the second half. We got back to the cabin alright,but it rained so hard I was afraid the whole thing would wash right off the side of the mountain.
 
Case Terratrac crawler in the one where the ladies are protesting a man being put out of his home due to road building. Turns out he was a bootlegger. Great clean show, still watch reruns today!
 
I'd forgot about that one. The old guy was the same one who played bad guy Homer Bedloe on Petticoat Junction wasn't he?
 
Wow, reading all this is fun. My dad always said the Andy Griffith shows that were the best were the ones where when Opie threw threw the rock into the pond at the beginning, you would see the splash.

Welding Man,Do you know where Jumping Branch WV is.I visited some friends there one week end,Got there about 1 oclock in the mourning and didnt want to wake them,so I slep in the back of my pick-up on the side of the main road,

Don't know,but in at least one episode they gave Goobers last name as something other than Pyle as you would expect it to be since he was Gomer's cousin. Do you remember what his last name was?
 
Have to show this again. This is Maggie Peterson, Charlene, last April in Westminster, SC riding in a parade at Mayberry Days. Me driving my 17 Model T.
She was 71 at the time. I enjoyed talking with her.

Ya,I just remembered he played a cattle rustler in one episode too. He was the one who put shoes on the cows and led them away making it look like three men were walking.
 
James, Jumping Branch is about half way between Hinton and Beckley WV on Rt. 3. That road takes you across Beach Run and White Oak mountains. Crooked as a Blacksnake, narrow and straight up and down. Not a good road to travel if you are not accustomed to WV roads. I have crossed it many times,in all kinds of weather. It's about 35 miles from me.
 
rrlund, Corner Gas was one of my favorites. My daughter always stayed up late to sit with her Dad and watch Corner Gas. About the only TV watching we did together on a regular basis and I sure miss the Dad and daughter time we spent together. I loved the dry humor in that show. One of my favorite episodes is the one about fixing the pot hole in the street. Anyway, she's not a little girl anymore but a newlywed woman starting a new life of her own. Thanks for the memories.
