Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:15:42 We've talked about who is Andy, Opie, Barney, and Aunt Bee so I thought it was time to branch out to the other citizens of Mayberry outside the Taylor family circle. How much do you know about Gomer Pyle?  Did you know he's Goober's cousin?  Did you know he […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:17:54 We've heard the story told by Andy Taylor in the episode "Back to Nature" but have you ever wondered where it originated?  This episode I'll tell you the story in the version that one of the most famous story tellers every enjoyed most and I'll tell you a little […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:27:14 Wow….I just got back from the 2015 version of the Cruise to Mayberry and it was great fun.  We did all kinds of fun Mayberry related things to include a very interesting interview with Ronnie Schell that we'll be hearing here on the show in the coming weeks (stay […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:35:59 Last episode we have a great "special report" from Kevin Burke about a portion of Mayberry Days 2015.  This week we move on to part 2 of our report on Mayberry Days as I try to cover as much of what happened as possible. If you watch the video […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:17:07 Wow…another Mayberry Days event has come and gone.

For those that may not be aware, Kevin Burke […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:21:28 This episode is dedicated to hearing from you and sharing your thoughts with all our fellow Mayberry fans.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:19:57 Ronnie Schell played the character Duke Slater on Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. but he was also on The Andy Griffith Show twice.  The first time he played director Jim Martin in the episode The Foster Lady then about two years later he played "Bernie the furrier" in Emmett's Anniversary.  Ronnie […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:23:32 I enjoyed the first episode we did on Mountain Omens & Superstitions and it certainly seems that many of you did as well because I got a lot of feedback related to that episode.  That made me think it would be good to do another episode with additional mountain […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:25:10 It's time to hear some feedback from our fellow Mayberry fans and no, that's not why this episode is called Worst Episode. Actually, some of the feedback was from a listener stating what he thinks are the worst episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and that is where we […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:20:30 We've looked into the lives of Andy, Opie, and Barney so now I thought it was fitting to take a look at the lady who takes care of these men, Aunt Bee. We all know Aunt Bee but how much do you know about here. Hopefully you learn some […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:25:25 Hello Mayberry!    Hopefully you knew about the 2015 Mayberry Meet-up that was held in Mt. Airy, NC the weekend of July 17th through the 19th because I did all I could to let folks know we were getting together for some Mayberry fun.  If you didn't get the word, […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:23:39 For years, there was a great column that ran in The Bullet which was the official newsletter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC).  Looking back over all the episodes of Two Chairs, I realized that we had never talked about Emmett's Fix-It Shop Talk. Emmett's was […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:23:07 Over the years, the Darling family have come to town sharing their omens, signs, and superstitions with the people of Mayberry.  Barney even added a few of his own from his grandmother's book Signs, Omens, Portents and Charms to Ward Off Bad Luck. I felt that it was high […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:24:35 Since the podcast began back in 2008, we've dedicated two previous episodes to Myers Lake/Franklin Canyon in Los Angeles but we haven't discussed it since 2011, so let's revisit. Franklin Canyon is the one place that remains where fans of The Andy Griffith Show can go and walk in […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:21:16 We missed out back in May catching up on what was happening with the cast & crew of The Andy Griffith Show from The eBullet so I thought we could use this opportunity to do just that. Jim Clark, the Presiding Goober of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:15:27 Over the years we've had some fun playing Mayberry trivia here on the podcast.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:17:27 To continue the series we started last episode, I thought it would be good to focus on Deputy Barney Fife and learn a bit more about him.  I know we all think we know him but do we really know "Who is Barney Fife?"  Did you know when he […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:23:06 Last episode I said, "Mayberry fans know that Andy Taylor was called, "The Sheriff Without A Gun"….."  and that got me thinking, how well do folks know Andy Taylor?  In all the episodes of Two Chairs, I've never really given any type of introduction to the people of Mayberry.  […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:21:40 Mayberry fans know that Andy Taylor was called, "The Sheriff Without A Gun" but did you realize that he did carry a gun from time to time?  Throughout the series, Sheriff Taylor *did* carry a gun on at least eleven occasions.  There may be more but these are the […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:22:43 This week we're going to have some fun reviewing an article that was published on Answers.com.  It was called "10 Things You Didn't Know About The Andy Griffith Show" but being Mayberry fans like you are, I changed the title to say things you "may not" know. You're going […]
