Yes they did. It was Francis Bavier. She hated her character and gave everyone on the set a hard time. That is why she apologized to Andy when she was dying.
I have a friend who came to the United States after growing up in Vietnam. He did not speak English all that well and was not interested in the kinds of things he was seeing on television (especially for his young children), so I lent him my Andy Griffith DVDs, and he was absolutely hooked. He loves Barney and all the characters, and he watches the episodes over and over. It always bothers me when I see countdowns of the best sitcoms in history and this show it not at the top of the list (and sometimes not in the top ten). It has endured for decades; it is universal and timeless in its humor and good nature, and unfortunately, we will probably never see another show like it.
My favorite episode was when Barney was being bullied by store worker Sam Plummer played by Allan Melvin causing Barney to never want to take his uniform off.
Has to be Mayor Pike! Grew up with the "Andy Griffith Show." Never a dull moment on that show! Thanks for the detailed documentary of "The Andy Griffith Show," Facts Verse."
Hey! You didn't mention Jim Nabors once! He was Gomer. Guber couldn't hold a candle to Gomer. Also, the show bugged me because I always wondered what ever happened to the people of African ancestry in Mayberry?
Mayor Pike - really only because those first seasons of TAGS were the most classic. The actor also appeared in It's A Wonderful Life -- sitting on the front porch of a nearby house while George Bailey is hanging out with Mary after the high school graduation party where they ended up in the pool. He urges George to kiss Mary, then grumbles that youth is wasted on the wrong people!
Sir Michael Rennie who played The Alien in that Movie was part of a Chuck Connors Western called "Ride Beyond Vengeance." And one of their CoStars was Bill Bixby, who played the very snobbish "Ron Bailey" in an early "AGS" Episode! "Tim O' Hara" and then "Dr. Bruce Banner" Himself!😂🎤👨🚀👨🔬🐴📺B.W.
As a little kid I knew this was wrong at 4 or 5 . But my gramps was the sheriff of a low population county in the land of ice and snow . But he was much like Andy Taylor. Except gramps had grandma and 4 kids and he carried a gun. A jail inmates parents came to visit their son who was serving a jail sentence. Gramps told them they could wait or comeback in a couple hours because he sent their son to the movies with my 6 year old uncle. Inmates ate their meals in the family dining room with the family. Grandma was a legendary cook. I recently checked .gramps had (1) deputy and a part time jailer. Today the county has less than 1/2 as when gramps and the deputy handled things today there in the sheriff and 6 deputies. For half the people. Smh
A little thing you forgot the actor that played Floyd the Barber had a stroke in the middle of the shows run and Andy wanted him to still be on the show, so they just filmed Floyd in the barber chair and he barely talked
It is known that Andy didn’t get along w/ most people. He had a big problem w/ alcohol and was very difficult to work with. Andy Griffith never won an award.
Andy Griffith had apparently made it clear early on that he only planned to do the show for his five year contract and no more. He continued to say this going into the fifth season so naturally everyone was thinking about what they would do after the show ended. Then Andy changed his mind and decided to renew his contract for three more years. But by then Don Knotts had obtained a three-picture movie deal with Universal and he didn't want to pass up that opportunity so he left the show after the fifth season. Some accounts claim that he had already signed the contract with Universal and couldn't get out of it, but apparently that wasn't the case as the deal had not yet been finalized. But he felt that this was the best route for his career. He and Griffith remained friends and Knotts made guest appearances on the show several times over the next three years, with his character Barney Fife now working as a detective in Raleigh.
@@trawlins396 Really? Don Knotts wound up making five movies for Universal, all of them made money as far as I know, except for maybe The Love God. He then had a big hit with Tim Conway in the Disney film The Apple Dumpling Gang, which included a sequel. In later years Knotts kept busy in smaller parts in film and television, eventually ending up in a significant co-starring role in the hit TV show Three’s Company. So you think after all of that Knotts was kicking himself for not staying three more years on The Andy Griffith Show?
@@StevePemberton2 his role on Threes Company is probably what brought him the most notoriety AFTER Andy Griffith show. Personally I don't remember any of his movies. I think in general people think of him as more of a TV star then movie star. It also depends on your age. I was born in '83 so I don't really remember his movie career. 🤷♀️
Andy was totally right, a city mayor has zero authority over a county sheriff. The sheriff would arguably have some authority over him. The county board of supervisors have virtually no authority over a sheriff, who is independent and has a great deal of power. Even a county judge or federal officials often have to get the sheriff's approval to do certain things. For example, a judge cant order work release for county prisoner. He can recommend it, but the sheriff has the final say over his jail. The FBI has to have the approval of the sheriff to make arrests and conduct investigations within a county. Congress doesnt even have the power to mandate background checks for gun sales be conducted by the sheriffs office.
I already know it is Aunt Bea. Heard it elsewhere before. He never hated her, though. She was just difficult to work with. Don Knotts and Andy were lifelong friends.
As all-American wholesome, wise and sensible as his character in the 1960s series was, Andy Griffith was actually pretty far left, supporting Obama in the 2008 presidential election! He, Ron Howard (Opie) and Henry Wrinkler (Fonzie on Happy Days), did joint TV campaign ads promoting Obama's "Fundamental Transformation of the United States", "Change" Socialist (Marxist) agenda!
This was & still is a great show to watch. Each & every actor played an important part that made this show so popular. Without Don, this show would not have been as popular.
I am binging The Andy Griffith Show right now. I loved the B&W version better than the color version. These "spates" sort of make me sad to know about. I loved the Aunt Bee character and thought they all blended so well. Surprised she disliked the character - I wonder why...
I didn’t like Parly Baer’s role as mayor Stone. He always came off as a difficult character to deal with always criticizing Andy’s method of being sheriff.
I believe that in the closing scene of the series pilot Barnie refers to the sheriff as " Cousin Ange ". This explains how Barney got and kept his job, haha.
@FactsVerse that's a hard question to answer.because there is many I like.but I think my favorite episode would have to be the episode were Opie gets upset because he didn't win the race. I liked the way Andy handled the situation.more less told him that you win some you lose some. You have to be a good sport win or lose.when you win you still say you ran a good race.when you lose you look at it as it's ok I'll get it next time.
Another lame attempt to discredit one of the greatest shows to ever exist on tv. The Andy Griffith show made you laugh, taught you morals, character and was just plain fun entertainment. Fifties and sixties tv was so far ahead of anything you see on today's tv that is filled with hate, filth, and division.
All the shows with Ellie Walker ( Elinor Donahue) were the BEST...! Barney & Andy Made the show... Barney was the best of the actors for making me laugh... Andy always had the ideas and wisdom to pull through the tougher times and always had the solutions...
I always wondered why Tim Conway was never considered. Given that this ultraversatile Comedian meshed perfectly with no less than FOUR strongwilled partners in his career. Miss Carol Burnett. Ernest Borgnine. Harvey Korman. And Don Knotts.🤔😉🎤📺B.W.
Parley Baer's greatest performance as far as I'm concerned is as Walter Riley the executive in the movie studio where Lucy from I Love Lucy plays Rick's phony agent. That episode in itself was one of the top ten.
He later played a Judge in a "Lucy Show" Episode where "Mrs. Lucy Carmichael" finds Herself in Court as an "overzealous" Town Meter Maid. And "overzealous" is absolutely correct as She hands The Judge a Traffic Ticket for "overparking" near the end of The Episode!😂🤣😂🎤👮♀️👨⚖🏍📺B.W.
@@madbrowniac7871: I wouldn't know since I'm the number 1 I Love Lucy fan watching(reruns) thousands of times for 62 years since a very young teen but I detest The Lucy Show! There is absolutely no comparison between I Love Lucy and all the others after!
Robert: Something I've wondered about awhile. Do You know who wrote the classic Signatures across The Heart in The Opening Montage of "I Love Lucy?" Tried searching out the details and came up with nothing.🤔😉🎤✒♥️📺B.W.
It was the mayor character itself,here's why: Andy liked the thought of having a boss, but the mayor is a local official over the police dept. If they had one, the Sherrif is a county official and the mayor would not have any power over him. That is why..
As all-American wholesome, wise and sensible as his character in the 1960s series was, Andy Griffith was actually pretty far left, supporting Obama in the 2008 presidential election! He, Ron Howard (Opie) and Henry Wrinkler (Fonzie on Happy Days), did joint TV campaign ads promoting Obama's "Fundamental Transformation of the United States", "Change" Socialist (Marxist) agenda! Must have been one heck of an actor to pull off the role of the honorable Sheriff Andy Taylor.
Have all the episodes on DVD and still watch the show on MeTV. I couldn't stand Ernest T Bass or The Darlings. Loved all the other characters. Even loved Mayberry RFD. Around 1968 or so, I saw Howard at the LA airport.
A few things that involved the city only perhaps should have had input from the mayor like whether the band goes to the capital. A lot of the stuff that happened was all in Mayberry and didn't involve having to go elsewhere in the county. They kept all the crime in the city but when there was a possibility of impeachment the county came in. But basically all the crime was in the city. Stoner was a pain especially when Andy figured out the cow thief put shoes on the cow.
I liked both of the mayors but if I had to pick one I think it would have to have been mayor Pike But mayor Stoner was hilarious many times when he got drunk from the spring water that had been spiked and the very first episode where he caused the moonshiner to climb the tree. I still adore that show and watch it everyday at least once.
I know that I'm aging out of the demographic that can actually remember things but... Grew up never missing an episode of this show even after it morphed into Mayberry, RFD and I DON'T RECALL A SINGLE EPISODE OF THE TOWN EVEN HAVING A MAYOR!
Pike was nice, but I'll always be a Stoner Man! Speaking of which, interesting the actor played a Keebler elf, while Otis played Winnie the Pooh. Fun times in the forest!
I lost all respect when the company I was working for hired And Griffith to come to our convention in Atlanta. I was sitting two seats away from Hank Aaron. The first thing Andy did is come out and started by telling dirty jokes. It didn’t go over well to say the least and our company CEO was furious. I never liked Andy after that.
I liked Mayor Pike. He was a comical character and didn’t seem to be overly upstaging “the sherif” so to speak. Mayor stoner acted like he was angry at the world and talked down to people. I did NOT care for him. I always liked it when he got “showed up!”
I also hated the time period when Andy was portrayed as a hick with a drawl to his speech. That disappeared. It left us all wondering wth was going on!
I always thought that when Sheldon Leonard spoke he sounded like a mobster/gangster tough guy. I remember his role in the Jimmy Stewart Christmas movie, "Its a Wonderful Life" where he played the mean version of "Nick" the bartender (not the nice Nick from Martini's). That was after George Bailey wished he didn't exist and wound up with Clarence (his guardian angel) at Nick's instead of Martini's.
One thing I'd really like for you to find out and let us know is how did Andy break his hand or wrist or fingers whatever it was that was broken when he was supposedly out on a manhunt!
I can imagine a mayor and a sheriff having lots of interaction and their being lots of interference from the mayor when the county seat is too small to have its own police department. But both are elected officials in North Carolina and are independent power centers from one another. In my county in Georgia there is an antagonistic relationship between the county sheriff and the chair of the county commission which is the county equivalent to a mayor.
The character of Barney got on my last nerve. I can easily think of 15 episodes where Barney should have rightly been fired. No doubt Don Knotts was talented as all get out, but the character of Barney was too over the top. To me, it made Andy look weak and cowardly that he never put Barney in his place.
I use to LOVE this show--- but since I've gotten older-- I can't stand the way they have Barney acting so stupid.. not just unskilled- but actually StUPID.. USe to love watching him- but now can't stand it..
I remember PARLEY BAER's name from movie credits more than I remember him though when I see him in a show he looks pretty familiar. I always got a charge out of DICK ELLIOTT, the roles he played seemed so right for him and he had kind of a wheezy voice that made him stand out. However, I did not know his name until I watched an old CHARLIE CHAN movie this year where MR ELLIOTT played a bad guy. It bothered me that I had seen him a million times but never knew his name so I used the computer to get the cast of the movie and there he was. To me, it is character actors like him that really help make a movie into an enjoyable event. I note that CLINT EASTWOOD understands this quite well from his movies.
Dick Elliott was the first prominent Actor of The Cast to pass away having done so in 1961. He had earlier appeared in The Legendary Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed Movie "It's A Wonderful Life." He was the guy in Bedford Falls who horned in on "George" and "Mary" growling "Well ain't Ya gonna kiss Her?"😂🤣😂😘🎥B.W.
Maybe they needed to have a character who was presiding county commissioner rather than mayor. That would have been the logical supervisor for the county sheriff.
This show was a favorite of my parents and siblings. I never cared for it though. Because it sure seemed like. They all thought that they we're better then each other. But that's what happens when celebs egos. Get to big fer their tiny britches! 🤣🤣🤣

Grew up never missing an episode of this show even after it morphed into Mayberry, RFD and I DON'T RECALL A SINGLE EPISODE OF THE TOWN EVEN HAVING A MAYOR!
I'm surprised they got anything done in that redneck town of bungling idiots. 😄😆
I am never watching Facts Verse again. I have been baited for the last time. Roger Camp
If she was so unhappy why didn't she quit. That show was the best thing that ever happened to her
[ a face in the crowd ] true griffth.
Pike was nice, but I'll always be a Stoner Man! Speaking of which, interesting the actor played a Keebler elf, while Otis played Winnie the Pooh. Fun times in the forest!
Sterling Holloway was the voice of Winnie the Pooh.
DONT NEED NO MAYOR ANDY WAS RIGHT
I lost all respect when the company I was working for hired And Griffith to come to our convention in Atlanta. I was sitting two seats away from Hank Aaron. The first thing Andy did is come out and started by telling dirty jokes. It didn’t go over well to say the least and our company CEO was furious. I never liked Andy after that.
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info about Andy...
Pike was more of a friendly man whereas Stoner was more nean natured you noth had their funny moments
Parley Baer died November 22, 2002...
Earnest t Bass was the best character on the show !
Interesting video! I liked both mayors. Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, which episode appealed to you the most?
I liked Mayor Pike. He was a comical character and didn’t seem to be overly upstaging “the sherif” so to speak. Mayor stoner acted like he was angry at the world and talked down to people. I did NOT care for him. I always liked it when he got “showed up!”
I also hated the time period when Andy was portrayed as a hick with a drawl to his speech. That disappeared. It left us all wondering wth was going on!
I always thought that when Sheldon Leonard spoke he sounded like a mobster/gangster tough guy. I remember his role in the Jimmy Stewart Christmas movie, "Its a Wonderful Life" where he played the mean version of "Nick" the bartender (not the nice Nick from Martini's). That was after George Bailey wished he didn't exist and wound up with Clarence (his guardian angel) at Nick's instead of Martini's.
One thing I'd really like for you to find out and let us know is how did Andy break his hand or wrist or fingers whatever it was that was broken when he was supposedly out on a manhunt!
I looked it up ages ago and read he had a temper and had punched a wall. I still want more details.
Good Grief !! No one needs to knows what happened 50 years ago with Any's broken hand/wrist/fingers ! Leave the hand alone !
Well, the hated him bit was another typical "come-on".
I can imagine a mayor and a sheriff having lots of interaction and their being lots of interference from the mayor when the county seat is too small to have its own police department. But both are elected officials in North Carolina and are independent power centers from one another. In my county in Georgia there is an antagonistic relationship between the county sheriff and the chair of the county commission which is the county equivalent to a mayor.
It always bothered me when the mayors bossed the sheriff around
A G WAS A GREAT ACTOR ,NOT A GREAT PEOPLE, PERSON, BUT ,,he did his job and ,what a great person for the job ,,,,,and Stoner,,,, was the best Mayor
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Barney was too over the top many times,
Unrealistic. But Knotts
Was talented no question about that. No one could do what He pulled off.
The character of Barney got on my last nerve. I can easily think of 15 episodes where Barney should have rightly been fired. No doubt Don Knotts was talented as all get out, but the character of Barney was too over the top. To me, it made Andy look weak and cowardly that he never put Barney in his place.
I use to LOVE this show--- but since I've gotten older-- I can't stand the way they have Barney acting so stupid.. not just unskilled- but actually StUPID.. USe to love watching him- but now can't stand it..
I agree! It ruined the show.
He didn’t like Aunt Bea
I still watch it
The second mayor was the one I liked.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
Ernest T Bass - the best! He ain't no kreeechter. 👍📺👍
Mayor Pike was the best. Mayor Stoner....not so much.
Loved Ernest T!!
Swear I already saw this months ago. BTW, was Mayor Stoner a Stoner?
The actor who played goober said they did not get along very well.
I love that show! I wasn’t nice when the got rid of Gomer, Pyle.
They didn't get rid of him. Jim Neighbors got his own show and went on to do that. Gomer Pyle USMC was the show.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Otis Campbell is the best mayor. Trying to remember, but wasn't Otis palmed off as the mayor in one episode? Nah.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse Amos and Andy maybe, if the people don't revolt. You guys are good.
Stoner was my favorite. Because the bed jacket is one of my favorite episodes
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
What's a Goober?
Your a Goober
I remember PARLEY BAER's name from movie credits more than I remember him though when I see him in a show he looks pretty familiar. I always got a charge out of DICK ELLIOTT, the roles he played seemed so right for him and he had kind of a wheezy voice that made him stand out. However, I did not know his name until I watched an old CHARLIE CHAN movie this year where MR ELLIOTT played a bad guy. It bothered me that I had seen him a million times but never knew his name so I used the computer to get the cast of the movie and there he was. To me, it is character actors like him that really help make a movie into an enjoyable event. I note that CLINT EASTWOOD understands this quite well from his movies.
Dick Elliott was the first prominent Actor of The Cast to pass away having done so in 1961. He had earlier appeared in The Legendary Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed Movie "It's A Wonderful Life." He was the guy in Bedford Falls who horned in on "George" and "Mary" growling "Well ain't Ya gonna kiss Her?"😂🤣😂😘🎥B.W.
Could care less about any of the mayor's. They didn't play a major roll I'm the show. I've never heard anyone talk about their characters.
But who did he hate
It's me it's me it's Ernest T
Mayor Pike. The character, not the guy that played him.
Nailed it! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
The video was not clear as to which actor or actresses he hated. He seemed to hate everybody! Aunt Bea, Barney, Sheldon Leonard, the mayors, . . .
everytime i read this it dont tell who andy hated. i know aunt bea didnt like andy. but it never told who andy hated
Great job Tim
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Just be very positive and your articles that you do and mention at the last moment of the negative such as death reason for death excetera
Maybe they needed to have a character who was presiding county commissioner rather than mayor. That would have been the logical supervisor for the county sheriff.

This show was a favorite of my parents and siblings. I never cared for it though. Because it sure seemed like. They all thought that they we're better then each other. But that's what happens when celebs egos. Get to big fer their tiny britches! 🤣🤣🤣
