Question 4- Parley was the Mayor on The Andy Griffith Show.

As to the discussion and what I would miss without the last two seasons of O&H.. EVERYTHING!!

I would have missed the last season with color episodes.
I would have missed Ozzie, Harriet, David, Ricky, June, Kris, and Wally.

Q#2 A very bad water leak prevented Dave from working in the office.

Question 5: Rick's follow-up hit to "Travelin' Man" (not counting "Hello Mary Lou," which was the "flip side" to "Travelin' Man") was "A Wonder Like You," which was written by the same composer as "Travelin' Man," Jerry Fuller, and is pretty similar to "Travelin' Man" but with a slower tempo.

As for the last two seasons, to some extent I agree with Dave (and even Ozzie said the same thing in his autobiography); the show did start to seem a bit dated at times during those last two seasons, but nevertheless I'd miss some fine episodes from those two seasons. "Breakfast for Harriet" and "The Game Room" come to mind immediately--as well as some fine songs from Rick from those two seasons: "There's Nothing I Can Say," "Lonely Corner," "Mean Old World", "Try To Remember" (which unfortunately got cut from "The Tangled Web" on the 2nd Shout Factory set). So overall I'm very glad the show did hang on those last two seasons, even if the show overall belongs primarily to the era that cultural historians call the "Long Fifties" (which ended when JFK was killed).

Re the Discussion Question, practically all of them, except any about the Tigers. Some of those eps were wonderful--my very favorites.

For Q#1, Wally the Skunk, borrows $100 dollars from the Frat's treasury, leaving it with a grand total of $3. Rick thinks that when Wally asks for a loan from the treas. he means $5 or $10. But Wally ends up taking advantage of a poor pledge instead. In 2010 dollars that 1963 $100 is roughly $700.

And it was to open a food business, of all things. LOL putting Wally in charge of food is like putting Dracula in charge of a blood bank. But amazingly, he doesn't seem to eat TOO much of the profits. Only a sandwich here and there, which for Wally translates into anorexia nervosa. And he bombs with the $ too. But it all turns out fine at the end via Rick's magic voice. That Wally! No wonder Ginger often ran after him with a frying pan. Who could blame her.

The answer to question 3 was Be Bop Baby which Elvis told Ricky he liked when they met at a party in 1958. Nice job on the rest of the questions.
