He was a good cracker.
Excellent post.

They showed that episode just a few days ago. It was one of the better ones tho not one of the best.
They show two episodes a day on the local, over the air, channel. I generally watch them but I guess like most programs there were good and not so good episodes.
Barney was really an extraordinary actor in that show. some of the best were the ones with Earnest T. Bass.
Around 15 years ago, I bought Andy’s personal binoculars off ebay. They were compact, and of just medium quality. They do have a sticker on the case which is so old that it is coming off. Andy apparently marked all his personal property.
I got it from a pawn shop in Las Vegas. I guess I need to get it out and see if it is the one on TV. It also has a certificate of authenticity which said it came from a roll top desk from when Andy and his wife were moving from Hollywood back to North Carolina.
I do wonder what they are worth.
If you ever get the chance to watch “A Face In The Crowd”, do so.
Andy was capable of extremely high quality acting and could portray a bad guy very, very, well.
The mayor tries to make a deal with Frank, and says they're old friends. Frank says, 'I'll never forget you Mayor. You're the old friend who threw me out of my house.' lol!
Spoiler => At the end, the town banker remembers that the bond was issued in 1861 in Mayberry NC. Meaning that it was issued in Confederate money and the town was off the hook.
Andy Griffith is a bone hard committed leftist..
a gob of spit... not worthy of a mild word..
I always enjoyed that show when I was a younger kid back during the 80s. It sort of had my interest because at the time, I lived VERY close to the real town that “Mayberry” was based on.
lol I remember during one of the episodes, they even mentioned the area where I lived at the time, Fancy Gap, VA - Which is about 15 or so miles away, up on the mountain from “Mayberry”(Mount Airy, NC in the real world). Beautiful country there with amazing views, and the Blue Ridge Parkway goes right through it all! I’d recommend it to anyone who may be looking to take an awesome road trip! I still live near that area, and it’s a wonderful place. (just have to drive a hell of a long way for any good jobs or stuff to do on weekends....)
I don’t watch hard core leftists in movies or on TV any longer.
