Breaking Mayberry

Marty and Dan take on two more of Season 1's finest, episodes 13 "Mayberry Goes Hollywood" and 14 "The Horse Trader".

First up, the glitz and glam of the movies arrives in little old Mayberry... in the most boring, monotonous way possible. Marty gets to share some classic and modern film trivia, and Dan tells us of the time Rob Schneider irritated his entire hometown.

Next, would you like to buy a cannon? Andy and Barney find out that it's a little harder to get rid of a confederate monument than you might think. That is only a slight exaggeration of what happens here.

It's another informative episode as Marta Rusek (WHYY Newsworks, Political Theater) joins Dan and Marty to talk about voter suppression, questionable relationships, and the potential use of a leg of lamb as a murder weapon!

First up, the team dives into Episode 10 "Ellie for Council", which shows how Ellie deals with the RIDICULOUS PREPOSTEROUS notion that a woman might run for office! Crazy, right? Also, domestic abuse is a punchline like four times!

For the second act, we get the incredibly weird Episode 12, "Stranger In Town", where Mayberry is visited by a man who knows all about them... but they've never met before. The explanation... is war.

The good news: Marty and Dan like both of these episodes!
The bad news: That means things go off the rails REAL HARD.
We talk about charity balls, donkey bites, and Barney Fife's role in World War II, all the while dancing around how Season One Episode 8 "Opie's Charity" and Episode 9 "A Feud Is A Feud" are both absolutely great.
A family fight is resolved, a wedding is held, and a man comes back from the dead on this week's Breaking Mayberry!

This episode is so big and so totally illegal that we had to lawyer up. Actual Lawyer Ian Roberts joins us for Season One, Episode Seven, "Andy the Matchmaker", where Andy and Ellie falsify a crime to boost Barney's self-esteem. But this fake crime leads to an actual arrest - and actual jail time.

Ian explains the Supreme Court rulings that would impact this series, Dan screams into the void, and Marty tries to rein in the sheer absurdity of it all.

Andy basically kidnaps a kid in this episode, and Marty and Dan don't know how to react. But first, Andy is very upset that... a pretty woman wants to date him?

Look folks, not a whole lot makes sense here and we are only six episodes into this show.

Marty and Dan get down with the musical insult comic stylings of Bobby Fleet, an amazing dude who flies in from a totally different universe to bless us with jokes and jailhouse jam sessions. Also, Andy books him in on completely trumped-up charges, but whatever.

Next, we meet Andy's greatest challenge yet: A pretty woman who just wants to do her job.

(For some reason, our first episode did not hit iTunes, so this is a re-upload of Episode 1 to get in there. New listeners START HERE)

Marty and Dan are two guys who have decided to watch ALL of the Andy Griffith show, mostly out of spite, and discover the secret dark undertones of quaint little Mayberry.

Episode 1 details the first two wildly-different episodes of The Andy Griffith Show: "The New Housekeeper" and "The Manhunt!" We'll discover why Barney Fife is horrifying, but Sheriff Taylor may be the devil. Also, how Mayberry STEPS THE HELL UP with its crime game, and it absolutely rules.
