I want to live in MayberryPosted by Perfect Circle
on 1/22/21 at 9:22 am



Anyone else feel this way?
So much to be learned from a 30 minute sitcom about what made this country great.
*The right path is usually the most difficult to follow; stick to it regardless.
*Stand up for yourself, and your principles.
*Confront evil when we can.
*There is absolute truth and morality.
*Forgiveness when we are wrong.
*Deeply ingrained sense of right and wrong.
*Respect for other's opinions.
60 years ago, this was the norm. TV's "rural purge" of the early 70's helped start this country down the road to where we find ourselves.
You can keep urban your values, I'm going to Mayberry.

I think there was a lot more of those things 60 years ago
But not for all of us. And some ignore that part which makes the whole nostalgia for simpler times lose a little credibility.
But I don't see why you can't have both, which should be the pitch.

Those places still exist, you’ll have to find a way to earn a living or drive a long way. Won’t be many kids around. My little town just outside Atlanta is like Mayberry, but the trash and people from the city is getting closer. I drive to the city everyday (pre pandemic) and can see it creeping out. I will just move further and eventually die before it’s everywhere.

The only unrealistic thing about Mayberry's depiction of that era was that nobody in Mayberry is married except the town drunk. Back in the day everyone was married. That's why kids were raised better.

Out of curiosity I just looked up the demographics of Mayberry. Couldn't find anything but from my recollection it was 100% Caucasian.

I live 30 mins from Mt. Airy.
Mt. Pilot, from the show, is based on Pilot Mountain which is just north of Winston. Been playing Pilot Knob Country Club a good bit lately.
You can see Pilot Mountain in the background. Nice, scenic golf course.

Me too.
TV is unwatchable. Go to PPV every movie has a tranny, racist black white, gay people rule theme.
Even the late night TV shows are OMB.
Go to Pluto or Tubi TV and watch the classics. Before they ban the whiteness of deplorables of Happy Days because there were no black people.

Nope. The school Opie attended was so progressive it had a Black Head Football Coach. Town had a sizable black population.

"I want to live in a town with no minorities in the early 1960s South."

If you have eyes to see it, you can find subversion even in the Andy Griffith Show. The writers of that show were part of the same long-term effort at subversion, the effect of which has been to make Mayberry seem impossible.

Andy and that bitchy Helen got married in the non black n white season, no?

Howard (who was a later addition) was not married but tried to get dates in his new bachelor pad.
Floyd did not have a wife and also had an episode of a lady friend coming to meet him so he pretended to be a rich man.
Andy and Helen had an affair but it was IRL, not on the show. Not sure if Helen had sex with Steve McQueen when filming The Blob.

Wrong. He was a town hero who made it to the NFL then came back to visit his home town, and while there, volunteered to coach the kids after school for a week or so. He wasn't an employee of the school system.
