<p>Jason Rourk: /* Odd Facts Known By Few */</p> <hr /> <div>== Episode Info ==<br /> '''&lt;big&gt;Aunt Bee Learns to Drive&lt;/big&gt;'''<br /> *'''Filmed:''' 180<br /> *'''Aired:''' 180<br /> *'''Original Air Date:''' 1966/02/07<br /> *'''Writer(s):''' Jack Elinson<br /> *'''Director:''' Lee Phillips<br /> <br /> ==Plot Summary==<br /> Aunt Bee becomes &quot;Miss Independent Wheels&quot; when she buys a car from Goober and <br /> then must learn to drive. She breaks her promise to Andy not to drive on her <br /> learner's permit without a licensed driver accompanying her and backs into a <br /> tree. Lighting strikes twice when Andy comes home and accidently bumps into <br /> Bee's car, causing him to think he's the one who dented it.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Odd Facts Known By Few ==<br /> <br /> * A male stand-in was reportedly used for Frances Bavier in the driving lesson scenes.<br /> * There are a couple of continuity errors in this episode. When Aunt Bee backs into Lowell's truck, her bonnet is tied. It's untied only a second or two before, though. And the street in front of the Taylor's home is alternately dry, then muddy.<br /> [[File:Auntbeecarfront.jpg|thumb|Front of Bee's car]]<br /> [[File:Auntbeecarrear.jpg|thumb|Rear of Bee's car]]<br /> * The car that Aunt Bee bought in this episode is a 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner. This is an unusual example of the Sunliner as it has a spot light attached to the driver's side mirror. <br /> * In reference to the above comment about a stand-in driver, if you had any doubt just check the front view photo.<br /> <br /> == Character List ==<br /> * Andy Griffith - Andy Taylor<br /> * Ronny Howard - Opie Taylor <br /> * Frances Bavier - Aunt Bee Taylor <br /> * George Lindsey - Goober Pyle <br /> * Aneta Corsaut - Helen Crump <br /> * Howard McNear - Floyd Lawson <br /> * Raymond Kark - Lowell the tree-trimmer <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:The_Andy_Griffith_Show_Episodes]]</div>
