Sound like a big Andy fan to me. I'll go for a chance at Stump Jobo On Andy Trivia. Unless you have all these episodes burned in your brain, you will have to go through each episode one by one. I'll take your word for the answers, because I don't have a clue myself and I sure don't want to start searching through my tapes. So here goes.

1. Andy was known for never carrying a gun. In how many episodes did Andy actually use a gun? Whether he used it to shoot at people,
shoot anything else, or just was seen carrying one.

2. How much does Floyd charge for a haircut?

3. In the episode Dogs, Dogs, Dogs, Just how many Dogs are there in the courthouse?

4. How many times does Barney accidentally shot his gun while it's still in the holster
while Barney himself is inside the courthouse.

And here is one Last Trivia Question that should be fairly easier than the rest.

5. The church needs a new organ. What is the price that they finally end up paying for the organ? ( This one I actually know )

6. After Barney moves to Raleigh why is Andy so grouchy for the rest of the seris. In the first years he was an easy going guy. what happened??

Answers to the questions:
1.the only gun andy fired on the show was a shotgun.andy carried a gun in only seven shows.

2.floyd charged only $1.00 for a hair cut.
wish that was still the rate at a barber shop.

3.there was eleven dogs in all.

4.thats a good question,barney was guilty of that many times,but i'll have to check on that one for you.

5.i think it was $1200.

6.andy and barney were a very good team. when you watch the show you sometimes catch yourself thinking that this is a real town and people. when barney left i feel that andys mood changed because of losing such a big part of the show.

JOBO, I have to disagree with you on at least one of your answers. Andy fires more than just a shotgun. I don't remember the name of the episode, but theres some thieves escaping and Andy grabs Barneys pistol and shoots out their tire. I'm not 100% sure about the organ question, but if I remember correctly, they couldn't afford to buy the organ so they had to take it back. When they did, Clara Edwards cried and whined so much the guy wound up giving the church the organ and becoming a member of the church himself. So, I guess the price they paid was 0$ or what they received was a new church member.

Dan, your right that one had slipped my mind but, i believe that was a colored episode and it was warrens gun not barneys.if i'm wrong then there were two shows where andy fires a hand gun.

Hi Dan, JOBO,
If anybody can answer this, it sounds like you guys can -- what is "Opie" short for?
Anything?
I've found lots of theories, but no answers supported by data ...
Thanks,

Why did deputy Warren Fergusen leave his job as deputy in Mayberry?

What was the name of Barney's landlord?

I think it was Mrs. Mendelbright or something like that. She was an older lady.

Thanks, how can we find out for sure?!

I just checked and its Mrs.Mendelbright. From the episode "Up in Barneys Room". Its listed in my episode guide but doesnt give the actresses name.

The actress who played Mrs. Mendelbright was named Enid Markey.

Just thought you'd liketa know...

I don't think anyone is for sure where the name Opie comes from, but one theory is that Andy Griffith and one of the biggies on the show named the character after a singer named Opie Cates.

------------------

Yes, it was Warren's hand gun that Andy fired. This was the episode where Aunt Bea worked for the counterfeiters. When Andy grabbed the pistol and shot out the tire, she exclaimed, "Well, just because they are going out of business is no reason to shoot at them."

The answer to the question asked about how many times Andy fired a gun is 3: "A Feud is a Feud," (Signalling the beginning of "'paces' in the feud"), Andy and the Gentleman Crook" (Finding out that Barney's gun really was loaded after Gentleman Dan handed it to Andy), and "Aunt Bee Takes a Job" (Shooting the tire in the counterfeiters' station wagon).

Can someone tell me what was Andy Taylor's favorite dessert was made by Aunt Bee? Thanks!

who played guitar on the fishing hole song?
I really hope you can help with this question.

Ok, JOBO, here's one for you:
What is the name of the tune played at the opening of the first scene in the A.G.S. episode "Man in the Middle"? The episode is about an arguement the Barney and Thelma Lou have that eventually escalates into a arguement between Andy, Helen, Thelma Lou, and Barney. The tune is sometimes used in other episodes including the reunion movie.
I'll give you a hint. The tune is more often associated with an Andy Griffith Show spin off.

Back to Opie's name: who was Opie Taylor Sr.? I saw this question on another site's trivia contest and wondered what the answer was.

In the episode in which Opie and his friends were selling Miracle Salve, Barney and Gomer went to see the men supplying the salve in an effort to get them to buy back the boy's remaining bottles. Barney pretended to be Dr. Pendyke and Gomer pretended to be Opie Taylor, Sr. and they told the two guys that the Miracle Salve cured the mange and wanted to buy as many bottles as they could get.

I don't know if these are his favorite desserts, but he has three favorite pies: Pumpkin pie a la mode, blueberry pie and gooseberry pie.

Here's a few Qs.

1.What is the tag number of Floyd's car?

2.What is the tag number of the squad car?

3.What year did Thelma Lou graduate high school?

4.Here's an easy one. Name either of Thelma Lou's cousins.

5.What is the address of the Taylor home?
