Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast

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?

No longer is Henry Slate playing the character but instead Fleet is played by Herb Ellis. Host: Allan Newsome http://TwoChairsNoWaiting.com
