ID an episode of "The Andy Griffith Show"?

Rex Fenestrarum · 04-20-12, 05:15 PM

So... I do recaps of Mad Men for my blog, and am working on episode 3, "Tea Leaves" (I'm a little behind this season thanks to a vacation just after the season premiere).

So anyway, early in the episode, we see Betty Draper on the sofa, eating Bugles and reading the newspaper while a rerun of The Andy Griffith Show plays in the background. As best I can tell, Andy is on the phone and says

Quote:

"Black hat, small mustache, 5 foot 9. That's him all right."

Then there's a knock at the door, which makes his next few words inaudible, but he continues:

Quote:

"Uh no, no... I don't know why he stopped here in Mayberry."

I've tried every Google trick I can think of, trying to figure out which episode this is. Can anyone help? Much, much MUCH thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% on this, but my initial thought was "Guest of Honor", where they award the key to the city to a fellow that they later find out was a small-time crook.

That the one you were thinking of?

It's 100% definitely Guest of Honor. Season 2 - episode 21.

OMG! Thanks so much, you guys! That is indeed the episode!

It seems like every Andy Griffith episode is on YouTube, and I was going though Wikipedia's episode list on one monitor with YouTube open in the other, skimming through each episode! You guys just saved me all kinds of time!

Once again, THANKS! Can I give you guys credit in the recap?

Glad to help. What's the name of your blog?

I'm glad to help, too. It's not often my TAGS knowledge comes in handy...

You're welcome to give credit, if you like.

The first five seasons of The Andy Griffith Show is my favorite TV comedy of all time.
