Some people who visit iMayberry.com come there to find out answers that may seem trivial to trivia experts but they are fans as well and deserve to know the answers to their questions.

I know the listeners to Two Chairs No Waiting are all big fans of The Andy Griffith Show but we all have friends who are not fans. How can that be? Did their parents not raise them right? Have they been brainwashed into the belief that the show is too "country" or "hickish?" Do they not have a funny bone? What 5 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show will get them hooked like a starving catfish?
