To give you an idea of what kind of thing might see when attending Col Tim’s during Mayberry Days, we’re going to watch (yes, I think you should watch the YouTube version of this episode rather than just listen) a compilation of video clips from Mount Airy, N.C.’s 2026 edition of Col. Tim’s Talent Time. This is the show that wraps up the Mayberry Days week each year.
These clips feature the Mayberry tribute artists recreating moments from the episode “My Fair Ernest T. Bass“. It features James Dodson as Andy, Terry Varvel as Barney, and Eddie Kilborne as Ernest T. The skits also features most all the other tribute characters as well as several “fans” who made up Mrs. Wiley’s Tea Party guests. We also get to see Col. Harvey -Keith Brown- and Gomer -Chris Bauman- becoming a Deputy. The skits seen, other than the tea party itself, were done as what I call “in-betweens.” An “in-between” is something done between the talent acts occurring during the Talen Time show to keep the “Mayberry” feel of the evening flowing among the singers, dancers and other acts.
I hope you enjoy it and that it gives you an idea of what you’re missing during these wonderful Mayberry events.
A big thank you to Neil & Pat Coleman for the video of Col. Tim’s!
We’ll finish up the show by playing some Mayberry Jeopardy! style trivia by Paul Mulik.

Mayberry Days 2026 has come and gone but the memories will last in our minds. I always look forward to hearing from attendees and what they experienced during Mayberry Days and that’s what we’ll be doing some of on this episode.
Everyone experiences Mayberry Days slightly differently because there are so many things to see and do during the time spent in Mt. Airy, N.C. I requested on a post in the “Floyd’s City Barber Shop” group on Facebook, “If you attended Mayberry Days this year, I would LOVE to hear a personal report about your experience.” There are well over 30 responses currently and we’ll go through those.
We also have voice mail from a couple of attendees that I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
We’ll wrap things up with a little trivia from Paul Mulik with the topic, “You can change the name of a rose, but you cain’t do nothin’ about the smell.”

“Andy on Trial” is Season 2, Episode 29 (overall series episode 60) of The Andy Griffith Show. It originally aired on CBS on April 23, 1962. Directed by Bob Sweeney and written by Jack Elinson and Charles Stewart.

Plot Summary Andy on Trial: J. Howard Jackson, a wealthy newspaperman, seeks revenge on Sheriff Taylor after Andy tracks him down for failing to appear in Mayberry court for a traffic violation. Unwittingly, Barney becomes a key witness in Jackson’s attempt to remove Andy from office, supplying female reporter Jean Boswell with information that is eventually used as evidence against Andy. When Barney is called to the stand, he is able to dispel all doubts that Andy is an honest man of the law and a true public servant.
We’ll go over the answers for the trivia questions.

Last episode I gave some reasons why, after almost 66 years, are we still watching The Andy Griffith Show? It was a good episode and caused a lot of online conversation.
So many of you had good ideas why Mayberry still touches our lives and I wanted to share them. I have several comments that were posted on YouTube, Facebook, emails and by voice mail so let’s hear what you had to say about Why We Keep Coming Back to Mayberry.
We have a nice message from a listener about Mayberry Days, too. Then, that same listener sent in some trivia that is not for the faint of heart. Good luck as you try to play along. See how many you can get right. I got zero.

We’re going to talk about something that, on the surface, sounds like a pretty simple question. But the more you think about it, the more interesting it becomes. Why?
Why, after roughly 65 years, are we still watching The Andy Griffith Show? Why are these episodes still being aired every day? Why can somebody who has seen an episode ten, twenty, or maybe even fifty times sit down and watch it again?
Let’s talk this through and see if we can come up with an answer. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter as well so be sure to call into the show and let me hear what you think.
