Tomorrow on Bringing Up Bates, the family visits the small town of Mount Airy, North Carolina. As Andy Griffith's hometown, Mount Airy is said to be the inspiration for Mayberry, the setting of The Andy Griffith Show. Lawson Bates and Nathan Bates have some fun with an old police car in the entertaining video below.

Oh the only answer I know for sure is question 8. Gomer joined the Marines. The reason I remember is his spin-off show Gomer Pyle USMC.
ReplyDeleteRemember how the Duggar kids are only allowed to watch certain episodes of the Andy Griffith Show, because some episodes are not appropriate?
ReplyDeleteQuestion number two if memory serves me right, Ellie Walker ran a drugstore and she was played by Eleanor Donahue. I may be completely wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see the correct answers to the quiz.
Thank you @2:45!
Oh and I remember being angry at Thelma Lou for breaking Barney's heart.
Barney's fault for not proposing.
DeleteI never watched the show.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be a lot more fun if Ellie made a Bates Quiz for us about the Bates family! Ellie what do you think? :)

10+ correct: Expert!
6-9 correct: Not bad!
3-5 correct: Good try!
2 or less: Your assignment, should you choose to accept, is to check your local listings for Andy Griffith reruns and tune in. I am the same age as Ron Howard. I grew up watching him play Opie and it is my all time favorite show. (My kids grew up watching the reruns.) The writers were very skilled at character development and weaving some very important life lessons into each episode... hard to come by these days!
