What are the strange hidden mysteries of The Andy Griffith Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6hPhKepVCw)? We explore the unexplained and explained hidden mysteries from the series that starred Andy Griffith as Andy Taylor, Ron Howard as Opie, Frances Bavier as Aunt Bee, and Don Knotts as Barney Fife.
There's the weird mystery of Mr. Schwamp a character that was on 26 episodes, but for whom no one knows the identity of the actor playing him. Was he Andy's friend or just an extra? He never spoke on camera, he just nods and smiles. Then, there's Andy's deceased wife and Opie's mother whom we never see in a picture or flashback. We never even get her name.
Then there's the off screen characters like Juanita and Sarah the telephone operator whose presence is confined to when a character like Barney Fife picks up the phone. See Frances Bavier's first role in the Mayberry universe before she was Aunt Bee. Find out the behind the scenes scoop on the intro where Opie throws the rock into the water, and then I ask why did Andy become increasingly serious as the series progressed.
