Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:33:38 Let's go inside Mayberry and talk about Ernest T. Bass . It was no trouble finding information about his because he's a pestilence and a pestilence will find you. This information is from a long out of print book called Inside Mayberry by Dan Harrison and Bill Habeeb. We'll hear from Howard Morris and others about how the character of Ernest T. came to be...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:35:45 I was talking with a co-worker earlier today. He got me thinking that there are things I take for granted as being common knowledge that really aren't well known. We're going to hit a few of those things as we move through this episode to include where to find maps of Mayberry, where to watch The Andy Griffith Show 24/7, and more. I've got 10 fun Mayberry...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:30:21 The Mayberry Man movie is just about to be released and it's kind of amazing to me how many fans of The Andy Griffith Show still believe the movie is some type of remake of the series. As the title of this episode states, it is not a remake. This past weekend I spent a good deal of time on different social media sites talking with fans and trying to help t...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:30:50 August 9, 1946. A day that will live in infamy in the town of Mayberry. It was 75 years ago that " The Case of the Punch in the Nose " occurred between Floyd and Charley Foley. It may have been assault or perhaps it was just a misunderstanding. The paperwork will never tell us because the case is as open as it ever was. Special information about the Maggie...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:29:44 In researching for the podcast, I'm always looking for items that we Mayberry fans might enjoy. I ran across this story in the Showbiz Cheatsheet and knew it was something I'd never heard and thought it would be something you'd like, too. Jack Dodson was only in the color episodes but he really did fit into the town of Mayberry. It was easy to believe that...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:35:04 This year marked the 9th Annual Mayberry Meetup . It's hard to believe that what started by chance in 2013 is still going as a yearly event on the Mayberry calendar. Back in 2013 I was heading to Mt. Airy the third weekend in July in order to interview Betty " Thelma Lou " Lynn for the podcast and mentioned if anyone what going to be in town that weekend w...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:29:24 I ran across an article a few weeks ago that said Andy hated one of the characters. I didn't remember ever hearing that so I went into research mode to see if it was true. Turns out, it is a little bit true. It wasn't the character he hated but the concept of why the character was introduced. Andy didn't feel like it plausible to have this character intera...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:35:30 I was sent a submission that featured Martin Simmons and Mike Bates answering a call for stories called "Top That!" Martin thought we would enjoy it here on Two Chairs as well because of the Mayberry connection to their story.

Host:  Allan Newsome Running time: 0:40:16 In 2002 an event called  Mayberry in the Midwest  was held in  New Castle, IN .

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:40:16 Wouldn't it be great to spend a week in Mayberry? What if you weren't a fan of The Andy Griffith Show ? Would you still enjoy spending a week in Mayberry then? Well, the Mayberry Man movie is about just such a person, a non-Andy fan who is made to spend a week at a Mayberry event and forced to deal with all the tribute artist as they bring Mayberry to life...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:38:38 Last week I talked about Frank E. Myers not being Mr. Schwamp, but who is Frank E. Myers? He was the production manager for The Andy Griffith Show and he was so much more. You might not know what a production manager does for a television series so you'll learn that tonight as well. In the January 26, 1993 issue of The Bullet: Official Newsletter of The An...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:30:21 Late this past week an online "news" site posted a story claiming to identify the "true" identity of Mr. Schwamp . My darling person, Jan "Mrs. Weaver" Newsome, found the story and went straight to work trying to debunk it as being fake. I joined in the search for the truth and I can say that the published story is wrong. So, we're going to try to "nip it...
