Well the Darlings daughter got married to a guy in the army during the first few Seasons. But what a simpler time….

You had that married couple who always fought and broke dishes. Andy tried making them be nice to each other (Mornin' dear. Mornin' honey.), but that made them legitimately miserable. Turns out that they were perfectly happy fighting all the time.

Charlene Darling was married to Dud Wash. Though she still tried to throw that booger on Andy when Dud went off to serve his country over seas.

I lived through this era, makes sense to me


Sign seen in a bar in my younger days


"If you drive your husband to drink, please drive him here"


Between the wife and the MiL, no wonder booze was the drug of choice from the 40's to the 80's.

I always assumed Floyd was gay. He was the camel’s nose under the tent. Look where we are now.

Helen was a raging bitch. Andy could have done better. OTOH Barney was punching way above his weight with Thelma Lou.

I actually go to Mount Airy, NC about three or four times a year. Small, quiet, and quaint. They also have a couple nice beer joints.

Minnie Simpson and Karen Moore were by far the best two out of the whole bunch. Karen was also a skeet shooting champion from Arkansas.

Barbara Eden



In the role of the traveling manicurist was the hottest chick in Mayberry history. And there were plenty of hammers popping from time to time.

s a horny middle schooler I could not figure out why Andy didn’t jump all over Charlene Darling.

Now as a man of 50 who has been married 26 years I know why.

Floyd was the original catfisher. TAGS was way ahead of MTV.

In the first season, Andy dates a nurse. Probably the hottest girlfriend he had. She had her career, her own house, and wanted nothing more than to take care of Andy and Opie.

And Andy fricked it up. Marry her, show over.

I'll take Susan Oliver over Jeannie all day. I'm actually surprised they allowed that level of sexiness on the show
