Dear Fans:

Hello,

I was born on June 13, 1972. I watched reruns of "The Andy Griffith Show" as a small tottler -- I still watch reruns today. I am searching for an episode in particlar the episode is entitled "Bailey's Bad Boy" which stars the loveable actor Bill Bixby. I have seen "Bailey's Bad Boy" since the year of Bill Bixby's death of Prostate Cancer the year was 1993 -- but I haven't seen it since. I would also love to record "Bailey's Bad Boy." I missed it on the "Andy Griffith Mondays" "Block Party." Thank you for your consideration and time, thanks again.

Have a peaceful, pleasant & safe day!!!!

Sincerely Signed,

Mindy

Hello Mindy, 16 years later I'm pretty sure you are not still here, and in those many years TAGS episodes are now insanely simple to find, 24 hours a day they can be found on the shelves of your local Wal Mart, any season, any episode you desire is probably there, waiting for you.

Welcome to our amazing future.

Anyway, to build the archives here a bit, here's the information on the only Bill Bixby episode of TAGS.

And as an interesting sidebar, MeTV just came on with an announcement that in 2016 they will begin running The Incredible Hulk. I thought that was some interesting synchronicity given I was just in the midst of typing this.

Trivia/Notes
◾Andy assigns Barney to watch the bicycles at the movie house. No reason is given as to why he is doing this; maybe there is a bicycle thief in Mayberry.
◾In this episode, Barney spends the night at the courthouse as someone usually does when there's an overnight prisoner.
◾While most of the vehicles used in the series are Ford's, Fletch Dilbeck's truck is a Chevrolet.
◾Bill Bixby's character, Ronald, is 19 in this episode but the actor is actually 27.
◾Although He chose to stand on his on two feet, which is something that we all have a hard time doing, he did chose a most inopportune time to do so. Hit & run would bring some jail time, even prison.
◾Barney has stayed up with Otis before, once he had to Read Jack & The Beanstalk.

Interesting trivia!
