    Re: 50 years ago yesterday...

    A good friend of mine had a reference to a line from one of the Darlings' appearances on "Andy Griffith" printed in his wedding program. Just under the list of music that was to be played in the ceremony, it said something like, "We were going to have them play "Don't Hit Your Grandma With a Great Big Stick," but that one always makes the groom cry."

    I understand Griffith could be a little intense on the set. I think I heard a story about him punching a hole in a wall because he was unhappy about something or other.

    There are episodes where Andy has a cast on his hand. That was from him punching a wall.

I saw Don Knotts on one of TAGS reunion shows and he said the reason he left was that Andy Griffith kept telling him he was going to end the show. He said he waited around as long as he could for a final decison from Griffith before signing a movie contract with some company to do a number of films over the next few years. After signing that contract there was no going back on a regular basis. He did come back from time to time as a guest.

    I watched a Biography episode on Don Knotts and believe it or not he was very much regarded as a "ladies man".

    I alway's got a kick when Darlings popped down into Mayberry

    YouTube - Andy Griffith - The Darlings - Picking In Jail

    "jist jump in whar ya can an holdddd awn"

    Dooley was a good ole man
    He lived below the mill
    Dooley had two daughters
    And a forty-gallon still

    One gal watched the boiler
    The other watched the spout
    And mama corked the bottles
    And ole Dooley fetched 'em out.

    Dooley slippin' up the holler
    Dooley try to make a dollar
    Dooley give me a swaller
    And I'll pay you back someday.

    The revenuers came for him
    A-sippin' though the woods
    Dooley kept behind them all
    And never lost his goods

    Dooley was a trader
    When into town he'd come
    Sugar by the bushel
    And molasses by the ton.

    Dooley slippin' up the holler
    Dooley try to make a dollar
    Dooley gimme a swaller
    And I'l pay you back someday.

    I remember very well
    The day ole Dooley died
    The women folk weren't sorry
    And the men stood round and cried

    Now Dooleys on the mountain
    He lies there all alone
    They put a jug beside him
    And a barrel for his stone.

    Dooley slippin' up the holler
    Dooley try to make a dollar
    Dooley gimme a swaller
    And I'll pay you back someday

    I think he directed and/or produced several episodes. He was a talented guy.

    When Tennessee hired Derek Dooley as their head football coach that was the first thing I thought of was that song on TAGS.

    Indeed. And not just TAGS but other shows like Hogan's Heroes and One Day at a Time, The Dick Van Dyke Show, some Love Boats and a ton of commercials. He (Howard Morris) worked with Sid Caeser in Your Show of Shows. He was also Professor Lilloman in High Anxiety and has done a lot of voices for cartoons.

    I used to work with a film director whose dad was a camera guy on Hogans when he was a kid. He said he was really disappointed when he found out the stump on the set was not something that led to a real tunnel.
