I think you'll enjoy even more as you go along. S3 had switched to filming at the Warner Bros or Paramount ranch and it give the town a whole new look. Also, as much as I liked Aunt Bee, Alice Ghostly does a fantastic job as Sam's cousin who comes to look after them when Bee leaves. I almost wish Ghostly had been on MRFD from the very start at season one she is so good in this role.

I also think Alice G was a good fit on the show and as much as I appreciate Aunt Bee, I think the show was hurt by her frequent absences.

Really hoping to catch some of these episodes soon, as mentioned earlier, I haven't watched Mayberry RFD since the first run.

Goober asked, "Where's Andy?" at a town meeting at Sam's house. Of course Andy is missing with sheriff duties. I believe it's the often tags used highway accident clearing.


I'm up to "Help on the Farm" where ex cons are given jobs. Andy makes an awkward fifth wheel appearance. What was funny was the clumsy excuses he makes for "Where's Helen & Opie?" First Helen is playing bridge. Then the next day Helen is watching Opie in bed with a cold. Andy Griffith makes s handful more appearances I'll be looking forward to.

Interesting, do they indicate if the Taylors still live in the same house?

Goober was temporarily a door to door salesmen. One home he called on was the Taylor's. But a different family was living there. I believe it was before Andy had moved to work for the FBI in Raleigh. MRFD wasn't too concerned with continuity.
