Had a dream last night that myself, @bizarrojimmyolsen.bsky.social and @mayberryalumni.bsky.social were recording a podcast episode, from inside a tree house, set up like a 1960s radio broadcasting booth, next to a very busy road...

Open question for anyone - and doesn't have to be just Don Knotts; can be anyone who has lived in or visited Mayberry
Mayberry Alumni@mayberryalumni.bsky.social · 2w agoHypothetically - but if you were to want to talk about a Don Knotts movie, which one would it be?
Please keep sharing your Andy Griffith jaw clenchers. Mine is when Andy doesn't want Aunt Bee to vote, and also Barney being Barney.

June 1, 1926: Andy Griffith, a TV actor beloved for his reassuringly folksy and gentle characters, is born in Mount Airy, N.C., the town that inspired the fictional Mayberry. He played the sheriff on the top-rated “The Andy Griffith Show” of the 1960s and starred as “Matlock” in the ’80s and ’90s.
Not enough Don Knotts posting these days
I have never known whether Knotts wore that horrible rug on purpose or if he was just in character as Furley, who definitely would have worn a horrible rug.

I think the wheels are finally beginning to turn
Just popping in to say that A Face In The Crowd is an amazing movie and if you only know Andy Griffith from his show you are in for a treat.

If only cable networks still offered this level of curation—or if streamers ever tried it—TV would be so much better off. If LPs, CDs and DVDs can make comebacks—and all have—I firmly believe curated TV can, too. youtu.be/zsPKBtSR8Hs?...

Got to go with a spin-off, since Griffith wasn't the main characters last name

Why does PlutoTV think I would want to skip one of my all-time favorite theme songs?
I've been watching The Andy Griffith Show all my life, over fifty years. It's my very favorite show. Seen every episode dozens of times, can quote dialogue like scripture. And while I don't necessarily suspect Andy Taylor of murder, I know in my heart that he's capable.

Daily Hanna Barbera The voice of teen idol Jet Screamer (1962) was Howie Morris, who would soon play Ernest T Bass, troublesome mountain man, in the Andy Griffith Show. Morris was a fabulous comedian, and also a director and voice actor. Jet Screamer was his first Hanna Barbera work.
Right out of college I was at an art gallery opening and there was this painting of Don Knotts all in green on a wood panel. I didn't buy it because I was right out of college, but it's the only thing I didn't buy that I think about regularly.
…and just like that, THE BOB NEWHART SHOW is no longer on any paid or free streaming services as of 2026, as far as I can tell. Worse, Disney only sells the first three seasons on digital. It remains available on linear TV and DVD. But: it’s no way to treat one of the classics.

Fun fact: Andy Griffith appeared as Ben Matlock on all 3 major networks. Seasons 1-6 ran on NBC. Seasons 7-9 ran on ABC. Matlock's final TV appearance is a two-part episode in season 4 of Diagnosis: Murder, which aired on CBS.
RIP to the legendary Rob Reiner, who has a small guest star role in season 7 of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
