==Plot Summary==<br />
In the show's first try at finding a girl for Barney, the deputy is brought together with Miss Rosemary after Andy tricks him by deciding to declare for her himself.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
After being humiliated by a piece of humorous graffiti, Barney decides to turn in his badge because of Mayberry's lack of any real crime. He saw Opie with the piece of chalk in his hand but Opie said that some bigger kids wrote it. Opie claims that he wasn't the one who wrote it and Andy believes him. Not because Opie is his child but because Opie can't write yet. <br />
<br />
Unable to change Barney's mind about resigning, Andy decides to stage a robbery at Walker's Drugstore. Andy believe it will give Barney back his confidence. Andy also encourages Barney to ask out Miss Rosemary to help brighten his mood but he won't do it because he's feeling too low.<br />
<br />
Barney ends up messing up Andy's plan by making an actual arrest in the fake robbery. While stalling for time and trying to figure out what to do, Andy runs a background check on the suspect Barney arrested and finds out he's actually a wanted man. Having captured a real crook, and with a little tricking by Andy, Barney works up the confidence to ask Miss Rosemary out.<br />
<br />
== Odd Facts Known by Few ==<br />
<br />
* Barney tenders his resignation for the first time on film in this episode.<br />
<br />
* Miss Rosemary (Amzie Strickland) makes her one and only appearance in this episode. However, the Amzie Strickland would appear later in the series as various characters.<br />
<br />
* Miss Rosemary was Barney's first love interest on the series. Barney would move on to court Hilda Mae a few episodes later. By the end of the first season, he was keeping steady company with Thelma Lou and would sometimes go out with Juanita. Despite being pretty green with girls in this episode, Barney would soon transform into quite the ladies man. <br />
<br />
* Aunt Bee does not appear in this episode. It is the first episode in which she was absent.<br />
<br />
* One of four episodes in which the Mayberry patrol car had the tag number DC-269 rather than the usual license plate JL-327. ( [[Opie's Charity (TAGS Episode)|Opie's Charity]], [[Ellie Comes to Town (TAGS Episode)|Ellie Comes to Town]], [[Andy the Matchmaker (TAGS Episode)|Andy the Matchmaker]], [[A Feud is a Feud (TAGS Episode)|A Feud is a Feud]])<br />
<br />
* Only episode in which The Snappy Lunch is mentioned by name (at 22:02 into the episode). The Snappy Lunch was and is still actual resturant in Andy Griffith's hometown of Mt. Airy, North Carolina and is the only Mt. Airy business to be mentioned on the show. They are famous for their porkchop sandwiches.<br />
<br />
* Actor Jack Mann (Tracy Crawford) started his career as a stand up comic. He appeared with Andy and Don in the movie "No Time For Sergeants" (1958).<br />
<br />
* After Barney reads his poem Andy can be seen trying not to laugh.<br />
<br />
* In this episode we learn Andy's favorite kind of pie is Blueberry.<br />
<br />
* Inside one of the cells hangs a calendar where the 1st of the month falls on a Sunday. The best guess would be that it is on December 1957 because in the backroom we see a calendar from January 1957 on the wall. That calendar displays to the right of the main month, a small version of the month of December 1956 and below that February 1957.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
"There once was a deputy called Fife,<br><br />
Who carried a gun and a knife,<br><br />
The gun was all dusty,<br><br />
The knife was all rusty,<br><br />
Cause he never caught a crook in his life."<br />

==Plot Summary==<br />
Andy is caught in the middle of two feuding mountain families when one's son and the other's daughter show up at the Taylor house to be married. Andy brings the feud to an end by bluffing the heads of the families into settling the matter once and for all with a duel.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
When Andy has shotguns pointed at him while attempting to let a son and daughter of two feuding families get married, he decides the best way to help the youngsters is to find out what caused the feud in the first place and end it. <br />
<br />
After explaining to Opie and Aunt Bee the dangers inherent in getting caught between feuding families by telling his version of Romeo and Juliet, Andy sets off to end the long-running feud. <br />
<br />
Despite his efforts, Andy is unable to discover the cause of the feud because the families don't know either. Furthermore, Andy discovers that despite decades of so-called feuding, no one from either family has ever been injured or shot. <br />
<br />
Andy brings the feuding parties together, explaining how bad it makes them look to have a feud where no one has ever been killed. He then tries to egg on the two feuding fathers into a half-hearted duel, which sends both running for the hills. <br />
<br />
When it becomes clear that their two youngsters have enough courage and are willing to stand up for each other, the feuding fathers realize the potential of their offspring, embrace the marriage, and end the feud.<br />
<br />
== Odd Facts Known by Few ==<br />
* In the first scene of the episode, Aunt Bee's hair is down and not in a bun as we normally see her. This is because the Taylor household was awakened in the middle of the night for Andy (Mayberry's Justice of the Peace) to marry Josh and Hannah.<br />
* Andy wears a nightshirt and nightcap to marry couples who come to the house in the middle of the night to be wed.<br />
* The Taylor's home has a doorbell (not a very common convenience, especially in the rural south, circa 1960).<br />
* Andy comments that he learned some French when he was there for "the war."<br />
* Andy wears a gun in this episode.<br />
* During the dueling scene, about 18:30 into the show, Andy takes the men's shotguns, unloads them, and returns each gun to the wrong man.<br />
* Actor Chubby Johnson was a true jack-of-all trades. At different times of his life, he was a reporter, columnist, journalist, radio announcer and even a butcher.<br />
* Actress Tammy Windsor has in the past been erroneously identified as Karyn Kupcinet and was believed for years to be the actress who played Hannah Carter. Tammy Windsor is not Karyn Kupcinet. This information was confirmed by the family of Karyn Kupcinet who wrote to say: <br />
:: ''Thanks for sharing your interest in Karyn. I can tell you that she was not Tammy Windsor. The researcher who came up with that notion, and even got IMDB and Wikipedia to go along with it, has since herself reversed her opinion.''<br />
:* Information about the true identity of Tammy Windsor was found by WBMUTBB Chapter member, Janet Anderson. The reference information can be found [https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=wbmutbb@wbmutbb.com&q=janet+anderson+tammy+windsor&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 here].<br />
* Actor Arthur Hunnicut co-starred with Edgar Buchanan in a pilot for a CBS sitcom called "Lum and Abner" in 1962. It was about a pair of Ozark storekeepers. The series wasn't picked up by CBS.<br />
* Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Wakefield do not appear in the episode.<br />
* Don Knotts (Barney) does not appear in this episode, despite being credited.<br />

==Plot Summary==<br />
Andy is caught in the middle of two feuding mountain families when one's son and the other's daughter show up at the Taylor house to be married. Andy brings the feud to an end by bluffing the heads of the families into settling the matter once and for all with a duel.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
When Andy has shotguns pointed at him while attempting to let a son and daughter of two feuding families get married, he decides the best way to help the youngsters is to find out what caused the feud in the first place and end it. <br />
<br />
After explaining to Opie and Aunt Bee the dangers inherent in getting caught between feuding families by telling his version of Romeo and Juliet, Andy sets off to end the long-running feud. <br />
<br />
Despite his efforts, Andy is unable to discover the cause of the feud because the families don't know either. Furthermore, Andy discovers that despite decades of so-called feuding, no one from either family has ever been injured or shot. <br />
<br />
Andy brings the feuding parties together, explaining how bad it makes them look to have a feud where no one has ever been killed. He then tries to egg on the two feuding fathers into a half-hearted duel, which sends both running for the hills. <br />
<br />
When it becomes clear that their two youngsters have enough courage and are willing to stand up for each other, the feuding fathers realize the potential of their offspring, embrace the marriage, and end the feud.<br />
<br />
== Odd Facts Known by Few ==<br />
* In the first scene of the episode, Aunt Bee's hair is down and not in a bun as we normally see her. This is because the Taylor household was awakened in the middle of the night for Andy (Mayberry's Justice of the Peace) to marry Josh and Hannah.<br />
* Andy wears a nightshirt and nightcap to marry couples who come to the house in the middle of the night to be wed.<br />
* The Taylor's home has a doorbell (not a very common convenience, especially in the rural south, circa 1960).<br />
* Andy comments that he learned some French when he was there for "the war."<br />
* Andy wears a gun in this episode.<br />
* During the dueling scene, about 18:30 into the show, Andy takes the men's shotguns, unloads them, and returns each gun to the wrong man.<br />
* Actor Chubby Johnson was a true jack-of-all trades. At different times of his life, he was a reporter, columnist, journalist, radio announcer and even a butcher.<br />
* Actress Tammy Windsor has in the past been erroneously identified as Karyn Kupcinet and was believed for years to be the actress who played Hannah Carter. Tammy Windsor is not Karyn Kupcinet. This information was confirmed by the family of Karyn Kupcinet who wrote to say: <br />
:: ''Thanks for sharing your interest in Karyn. I can tell you that she was not Tammy Windsor. The researcher who came up with that notion, and even got IMDB and Wikipedia to go along with it, has since herself reversed her opinion.''<br />
:* Information about the true identity of Tammy Windsor was found by WBMUTBB Chapter member, Janet Anderson. The reference information can be found [https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=wbmutbb@wbmutbb.com&q=janet+anderson+tammy+windsor&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 here].<br />
* Actor Arthur Hunnicut co-starred with Edgar Buchanan in a pilot for a CBS sitcom called "Lum and Abner" in 1962. It was about a pair of Ozark storekeepers. The series wasn't picked up by CBS.<br />
* Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Wakefield do not appear in the episode.<br />
* Don Knotts (Barney) does not appear in this episode, despite being credited.<br />
* One of four episodes in which the Mayberry patrol car had the tag number DC-269 rather than the usual license plate JL-327.

==Plot Summary==<br />
Andy gets himself in his first jam with the opposite sex when he wrongly assumes Ellie is out to trap herself a husband. Andy tries to foil her plot when he sends three eligible Mayberry bachelors her way, but Opie helps Ellie uncover Andy's scheme.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Ellie accepts an invitation from Andy to the Church picnic and dance. Andy becomes convinced that Ellie and her uncle Fred are out to trap him into marriage. Aunt Bee asks him how he asked Ellie to the dance and he becomes convinced that Ellie is trying to set him up for marriage. Andy believes that the best way to thwart this desperate female hunter is to put her on the scent of other game. He even tells Opie that as well.<br />
<br />
Andy convinces some of the young bachelors in town that Ellie is interested in them and sends them to court her in the hope of shifting her affections to someone else. Opie accidentally reveals the scheme to Ellie. Ellie confronts Andy by puttin castor Oil, mustard powder and milk of magnesia in his drink and tells Andy off. She insists she will go to the picnic with the first eligible bachelor to walk through her door. In walks Barney. <br />
<br />
Andy realizes the error in his thinking and strives to make things right with Ellie.<br />
<br />
== Odd Facts Known by Few ==<br />
* This is the only episode where both Ellie and her uncle Fred appear together.<br />
<br />
:* Ellie appears in most episodes without him and Fred appeared in one episode without Ellie: Those Gossipin' Men.<br />
<br />
* Mayberry has at least four different kinds of dances: Legion, Chamber of Commerce, Uplifters, and Church.<br />
<br />
* Andy calls Barney "The Adolphe Menjou of Mayberry" after he sees him all dressed up for the church picnic and dance. Menjou was voted Best Dressed Man in America nine times.<br />
<br />
* Barney mentions that he has been a deputy for a year and a half, but when he gets his watch on Barney's Physical (season 5,episode 2), it was engraved with five years. Then, on the episode Goodbye, Sheriff Taylor (season 5,episode 10), Andy says that he's been Sheriff of Mayberry for twelve years. The only real continuity problem was on the episode Citizen's Arrest (Season 4, epsiode 11) when Barney says that he's been in for ten years. Perhaps the line was somehow meant for Andy.<br />
<br />
* Since Barney is going to the dance with Ellie, Andy mentions swearing-in Mayberrian Jeff Pritchett as a temporary deputy to help Andy with directing traffic and keeping law and order at the event.<br />
<br />
* Andy says that Jim Summers always wins the sack race at the church picnic and dance. Jim runs the meat market, but is never seen in the series.<br />
<br />
* Ellie lives in the first house on Andy's street (known as house façade #1 on the 40 Acres backlot).<br />
<br />
* Actor Robert Easton (who played Pete Johnson - the eyelashes guy) was a dialect/accent coach early in his career.<br />
<br />
* This is the first time Barney is seen in his dapper Salt 'n' Pepper suit.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
* A painting is seen on the wall to the left of the Taylor's dining table. It is titled, "The Angelus, 1859" by French artist Jean Francois Millet. This artwork will eventually occupy the space above the fireplace in the living room. For now, a deer head holds that position.<br />

<br />
==Plot Summary==<br />
An outsider moves to town, Ellie May Walker - Ph.G (Pharmacy Gal), arrives to help her uncle at Walker's Drug Store. Before long she is faced with adapting to Mayberry ways after refusing to sell Emma Brand , the town hypochondriac, sugar pills.<br />
<br />
== Odd Facts Known by Few ==<br />
* This episode was the first one AIRED of four episodes in which the Mayberry patrol car had the tag number DC-269 rather than the usual license plate JL-327. ( [[Opie's Charity (TAGS Episode)|Opie's Charity]], [[Ellie Comes to Town (TAGS Episode)|Ellie Comes to Town]], [[Andy the Matchmaker (TAGS Episode)|Andy the Matchmaker]], [[A Feud is a Feud (TAGS Episode)|A Feud is a Feud]])<br />
* The key to the drug store is hidden above the door. Hopefully a passerby didn't see Andy getting it from there.<br />
* Andy says the bill is $3.23, but he only rings up $1.23 on the register (the value is read right to left from the customer perspective).<br />
* According to her diploma, Ellie graduated from Bernard College.<br />
* Ellie's degree was Ph.G and this is an actual pharmacy degree. For example, the [http://www.pharmacy.olemiss.edu/history.html University of Mississippi] originally conferred two degrees: the bachelor or pharmacy (Ph.B.) and the graduate of pharmacy (Ph.G.). Both degrees were awarded to students who completed a two-year curriculum. Students who had four years experience in pharmacy practice were awarded the Ph.G. All students were required to complete 864 hours of lecture and 936 hours of laboratory work. <br />
** Most pharmacists today hold a Pharm.D.<br />
* Ellie's diploma bears the fictitious name "Bernard University.”<br />
* The "ice cream" that Miss Ellie gives Opie is actually mashed potatoes. They were used because the stage lights caused actual ice cream to melt too quickly. We never actually see Opie lick the ice cream.<br />
* This episode marks the first time Barney asks Andy to hold the book on him while he tries to recite something he says he has memorized. <br />
* Barney tries but fails to recite from memory the Sheriff's Rules. This concept is revisited in [[Opie's Ill-Gotten Gain (TAGS Episode)|Opie's Ill-Gotten Gain]] with The Preamble to the Constitution. Of course Barney can't even remember the first word, much less the rest of it, and his tortured looks and mannerisms as he tries to remember make for a funny scene.<br />
* The word "Enlargements" is misspelled on the shelving behind the register at Walker's Drugstore. The sign reads "ENLARGMENTS 24 HOUR DEVELOPING AND PRINTING". The second "E" is missing in "enlargements." The sign wasn't seen corrected until episode #14 [[The Horse Trader (TAGS Episode)|The Horse Trader]].<br />
* Elinor Donahue played Betty ("Princess") Anderson from 1954 to 1960 on the classic sit-com "Father Knows Best" and played Felix's girlfriend, Miriam Welby, on "The Odd Couple" seasons 2-5.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
* Emma said she voted for Andy in the last election.<br />
* Emma's house is in Town. However in the episdoe [[The Manhunt (TAGS Episode)|The Manhunt]], Emma's house is out in the country.<br />
* Wilson vs. Thorpe's Pharmacy is the fictitious lawsuit mentioned. "Wilson sues Thorpe for refusing to sell him arsenic to kill rats in his cellar. Pharmacist Thorpe claimed arsenic would be dangerous to Wilson's personal safety, as Wilson was not a responsible person. Wilson, however, proved beyond any doubt, that he was safe and responsible, won the case, and purchased his arsenic on Tuesday, May 4th. He was buried Friday, May 7th."<br />
* The drugstore has a display in the window when seen from outside, toward the courthouse, but there is no corresponding window on the inside of the drugstore.<br />

* The word "Enlargements" is misspelled on the shelving behind the register at Walker's Drugstore. The sign reads "ENLARGMENTS 24 HOUR DEVELOPING AND PRINTING". The second "E" is missing in "enlargements." The sign wasn't seen corrected until episode #14 [[The Horse Trader (TAGS Episode)|The Horse Trader]].<br />
* Elinor Donahue played Betty ("Princess") Anderson from 1954 to 1960 on the classic sit-com "Father Knows Best" and played Felix's girlfriend, Miriam Welby, on "The Odd Couple" seasons 2-5.<br />
* Andy says the bill is $3.23, but he only rings up $3.21.<br />
* The key to the drug store is hidden above the door. Hopefully a passerby didn't see Andy getting it from there.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*Barney tries but fails to recite from memory the Sheriff's Rules. This concept is revisited in [[Opie's Ill-Gotten Gain (TAGS Episode)|Opie's Ill-Gotten Gain]] with The Preamble to the Constitution.<br />
* Emma said she voted for Andy in the last election.<br />
* Wilson vs. Thorpe's Pharmacy is the fictitious lawsuit mentioned. "Wilson sues Thorpe for refusing to sell him arsenic to kill rats in his cellar. Pharmacist Thorpe claimed arsenic would be dangerous to Wilson's personal safety, as Wilson was not a responsible person. Wilson, however, proved beyond any doubt, that he was safe and responsible, won the case, and purchased his arsenic on Tuesday, May 4th. He was buried Friday, May 7th."<br />
* The drugstore has a display in the window when seen from outside, toward the courthouse, but there is no corresponding window on the inside of the drugstore.<br />

<br />
=Mr. Schwamp=<br />
Mr. Schwamp (or Schwump, as he is better known) is the older dark haired man you often see sitting on the bench outside the barbershop or in groups of people in Mayberry.<br />
<br />
Over the years, every cast and crew member of The Andy Griffith Show has been asked if they know the name of the actor who played Mr. Schwamp. While all of them remember him, none of them knows his real name. (And yes, Andy Griffith has been asked, as has Producer Richard Linke.) <br />
<br />
<br />
==Episodes==<br />
'''There are 26 documented Schwamp episodes:'''<br>''Mr. Schwamp never speaks so you'll have to watch closely to spot him. A few times he is called by name, but usually he's just in the background, sometimes waaaay in the background.'' <br />

<br />
== Patch S. Wimmers ==<br />
<br />
On '''April 1''', 2012 The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) played a "April Fools" joke on the visitors to their [http://facebook.com/tagsrwc Facebook fan page ]. What follows is the content of the post:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Mr. Schwamp’s Identity Discovered!!! After decades of painstaking investigation and research by dozens of Mayberry enthusiasts, we have finally identified the actor who played Mr. Schwamp! With funding from TAGSRWC’S own Weaver’s Dept. Store (thanks, ol’ Ben!) and with several people working to assemble small pieces of the puzzle from a huge number of sources, we finally solved Mayberry’s Greatest Mystery!<br><br><br />
<br />
An obscure mention in the credits of an episode of “The Danny Thomas Show” from 1956 was the key breakthrough. That, combined with Census records and the power of Google and Ancestry.com and eventually Screen Actors Guild records led us to a definite conclusion.<br />
<br><br><br />
We’re pleased to announce that the actor who played Mr. Schwamp was a man named…Patch S. Wimmers. Through U.S. Census records from 1950 and 1960 (found on Ancestry.com), we found that Patch S. Wimmers lived in North Hollywood, just blocks from the Desilu-Cahuenga Studios, where “The Andy Griffith Show” was filmed. He could’ve literally walked to work in Mayberry, which means he could’ve been available to work as an extra on a given episode on very short notice.<br />
<br><br><br />
We further found that a Patch S. Wimmers lived in and was perhaps born in Camp Threw, Miss. The earliest listing we found for him was the 1920 Census, which says he was 16 years old and living with his parents (his father was in the Army Air Corps) and two siblings in Mississippi. At some point the young Wimmers moved to California. We speculate that maybe his father was transferred to a military base in California. (We’re not sure about that because his father is listed as residing in Poi Falls, OR, during some of that period.)<br />
<br><br><br />
Patch is already spotted acting very Mr. Schwamp-ish (which is to say, not acting much at all) in “Christmas in Connecticut” in 1945 and in the 1946 Three Stooges feature film “Swing Parade.” He would have been 41 to 42 during that time. He doesn’t pop again in our research until the 1956 “Danny Thomas Show.” And then in TAGS in “My Fair Ernest T. Bass” in 1964. And the rest is history…26 episodes of TAGS and a few episodes of “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.” and “Mayberry R.F.D.” and similar appearances.<br />
<br><br><br />
We’re hopeful that we’ll now find many more appearances by “Mr. Schwamp/Patch S. Wimmers. But for now, on this here day, April 1, 2012, we’re just pleased to finally announce that Mr. Schwamp is Patch S. Wimmers of Camp Threw, Miss. (and most probably Poi Falls, OR).<br />

<br />
== Odd Facts Known by Few ==<br />
* Much has been said about whether the buildings on the 40 acres backlot had interiors. In this episode Bobby Fleet's band is in a restaurant situated across the street from the barbershop and the funeral parlor where Walkers' Drugstore is in the next episode.

<div>[[File:Howardmcnear.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Howard Mcnear]]<br />
<br />
Howard Terbell McNear was born January 27, 1905 in Los Angeles, CA. His mother and father were Inzetta Spencer and Frank Ellis McNear. He had three older siblings: a brother named Frank Wood McNear (b: 29 Mar 1896 d: 29 Dec 1957); a sister named Ruth Ellis (whom Howard never met because she only lived 8 months and passed away 6 years before his birth (b: 29 Apr 1898 d: 5 Jan 1899) and a second brother named Ellis Hedges McNear (b: 7 Nov 1899). Both Howard and his oldest brother Frank married wives named Helen. <br />
<br />
=Career=<br />
Howard studied at the Oatman School of Theater and he joined a theater company in San Diego where he was a leading man. Howard began working in radio in the late 1930s, finding some fame for himself as an action star in the 1937–1940 radio serial "Speed Gibson of the International Secret Police". In this "Johnny Quest" type adventure show, he played the role Speed Gibson's uncle and ace operator Clint Barlow. <br />
<br />
Howard was effective in authoritative roles like Clint Barlow, but he gravitated more toward character roles that often had a comic leaning.<br />
<br />
He enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army Air Corps on November 17, 1942 during World War II serving until 1945 (AAF MOS 442 USAAF). <br />
<br />
In 1952, he created the role of Doc Charles Adams in CBS Radio's Gunsmoke that ran until 1961. Fellow citizen of Mayberry, Parley Bear (a.k.a. Mayor Stoner) played Chester on the radio version of Gunsmoke.<br />
<br />
Howard was under contract to CBS for many years and was featured in many of the network's radio and TV programs. From 1955 to 1960 he appeared frequently, in various roles, on the popular radio detective series "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar."<br />
<br />
Howard made his film debut in the 1953 film Escape from Fort Bravo. Over the course of his career, he would appear in over one hundred film and television guest spots.<br />
<br />
In 1958, Howard guest starred as a barber named Andy on an episode titled "The Shave" of "Leave It to Beaver", a role which proved prophetic of what would come his way couple of years later.<br />
<br />
=Floyd the Barber=<br />
[[File:Howardmcnear_beaver.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Howard Mcnear as Andy the barber on Leave It To Beaver ]]<br />
In 1961, he was cast as the talkative barber Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show. During the show's run, Howard suffered a stroke that rendered the left side of his body nearly paralyzed. He was off the show from the episode "Convicts at Large" which aired December 10, 1962 until March 30, 1964 in the episode "Divorce, Mountain Style."<br />
<br />
In Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Andy Griffith had the following to say about actor Howard McNear (Floyd): <br />
<br />
::"Then Howard had a stroke and was bad off for a long time. He was out of our show for about a year and three-quarters. We did a lot of soft shows, that is, those that were not hard on comedy -- stories about the boy or the aunt. But we needed comedy scenes to break up things.<br />
::We were working on a script one day, and Aaron [Ruben] said, `Boy do I wish we had Howard.' And one of us said, `Why don't we see if we can get him.' So right then we called up Howard's house and we got his wife, Helen. `Oh,' she said, `it would be a godsend.'<br />
<br />
::Well, we wrote him a little scene. He was paralyzed all down his left side and so we couldn't show him walking. We had him sitting or we built a stand that supported him. He could then stand behind the barber chair and use one hand. Most of the time, however, we had him sitting. His mind was not affected at all. He was with us about two years after that before he died. Finally poor Howard died. I'm sorry because there was never anyone like him. Kind, kind man." <br />
<br />
Also in Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague) had this to say about Howard:<br />
<br />
::"Unfortunately, I didn't know Howard before his stroke. Even after his stroke he was just a wonderful human being and a splendid actor. Sadly, it was during the playing of a scene with Howard that we realized he couldn't go on anymore.<br />
<br />
::It was the segment where I wanted to raise the rent on the barbershop. The characters had a great falling out and then, at the end of the show, they were brought back together in the courthouse. Howard had a little difficulty with that segment. We had to change our shooting schedules a little so that his days were not quite so long as they had been. And then, finally, we had a very simple scene of reconciliation. He couldn't remember it. He went over it and over it, frustrated with himself. Seeing his despair and anxiety was the most painful experience that I've ever had. And then he didn't come back after that." <br />
<br />
On January 3, 1969, Howard McNear passed away of complications from pneumonia caused by a stroke at San Fernando Valley Veterans Hospital in Sylmar, California. He was interred in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. Actor and old friend Parley Baer delivered his eulogy.<br />
<br />
=Passing=<br />
Richard Linke (Associate Producer) had this to say about McNear's funeral: <br />
<br />
::"We went to the funeral, and I have to say that it was the only funeral I've ever been to where the laughs exceeded the tears. There were a couple of people who knew him well. They spoke in the form of a eulogy -- I guess you could call it that. Oh, but it was funny. They related Howard McNear stories from the pulpit. It was something else. Really, it made a nice thing. I think Hal Smith, who played Otis, got up there. It was something else, those stories. And yet, it was all done with dignity. Oh, he was a nice man." <br />
<br />
When McNear passed in 1969, it was his old friend Parley Baer who delivered the eulogy at the funeral.<br />
<br />
Howard was survived by his wife, Helen, and son, Christopher (a.k.a. Kitt).<br />

It has been reported that Howard first appeared an uncredited role in the 1951 sci-fi film The Day The Earth Stood Still as a boarding house resident. The film also featured Fances Bavier (Aunt Bee) and Olan Soule (choir director John Masters) from TAGS.<br />

<br />
Howard Terbell McNear was born January 27, 1905 in Los Angeles, CA. His mother and father were Inzetta Spencer and Frank Ellis McNear. He had three older siblings: a brother named Frank Wood McNear (b: 29 Mar 1896 d: 29 Dec 1957); a sister named Ruth Ellis (whom Howard never met because she only lived 8 months and passed away 6 years before his birth (b: 29 Apr 1898 d: 5 Jan 1899) and a second brother named Ellis Hedges McNear (b: 7 Nov 1899). Both Howard and his oldest brother Frank married wives named Helen. <br />
<br />
=Career=<br />
Howard studied at the Oatman School of Theater and he joined a theater company in San Diego where he was a leading man. Howard began working in radio in the late 1930s, finding some fame for himself as an action star in the 1937–1940 radio serial "Speed Gibson of the International Secret Police". In this "Johnny Quest" type adventure show, he played the role Speed Gibson's uncle and ace operator Clint Barlow. <br />
<br />
Howard was effective in authoritative roles like Clint Barlow, but he gravitated more toward character roles that often had a comic leaning.<br />
<br />
He enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army Air Corps on November 17, 1942 during World War II serving until 1945 (AAF MOS 442 USAAF). <br />
<br />
In 1952, he created the role of Doc Charles Adams in CBS Radio's Gunsmoke that ran until 1961. Fellow citizen of Mayberry, Parley Bear (a.k.a. Mayor Stoner) played Chester on the radio version of Gunsmoke.<br />
<br />
Howard was under contract to CBS for many years and was featured in many of the network's radio and TV programs. From 1955 to 1960 he appeared frequently, in various roles, on the popular radio detective series "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar."<br />
<br />
Howard made his film debut in the 1953 film Escape from Fort Bravo. Over the course of his career, he would appear in over one hundred film and television guest spots.<br />
<br />
In 1958, Howard guest starred as a barber named Andy on an episode titled "The Shave" of "Leave It to Beaver", a role which proved prophetic of what would come his way couple of years later.<br />
<br />
=Floyd the Barber=<br />
[[File:Howardmcnear_beaver.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Howard Mcnear as Andy the barber on Leave It To Beaver ]]<br />
In 1961, he was cast as the talkative barber Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show. During the show's run, Howard suffered a stroke that rendered the left side of his body nearly paralyzed. He was off the show from the episode "Convicts at Large" which aired December 10, 1962 until March 30, 1964 in the episode "Divorce, Mountain Style."<br />
<br />
In Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Andy Griffith had the following to say about actor Howard McNear (Floyd): <br />
<br />
::"Then Howard had a stroke and was bad off for a long time. He was out of our show for about a year and three-quarters. We did a lot of soft shows, that is, those that were not hard on comedy -- stories about the boy or the aunt. But we needed comedy scenes to break up things.<br />
::We were working on a script one day, and Aaron [Ruben] said, `Boy do I wish we had Howard.' And one of us said, `Why don't we see if we can get him.' So right then we called up Howard's house and we got his wife, Helen. `Oh,' she said, `it would be a godsend.'<br />
<br />
::Well, we wrote him a little scene. He was paralyzed all down his left side and so we couldn't show him walking. We had him sitting or we built a stand that supported him. He could then stand behind the barber chair and use one hand. Most of the time, however, we had him sitting. His mind was not affected at all. He was with us about two years after that before he died. Finally poor Howard died. I'm sorry because there was never anyone like him. Kind, kind man." <br />
<br />
Also in Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague) had this to say about Howard:<br />
<br />
::"Unfortunately, I didn't know Howard before his stroke. Even after his stroke he was just a wonderful human being and a splendid actor. Sadly, it was during the playing of a scene with Howard that we realized he couldn't go on anymore.<br />
<br />
::It was the segment where I wanted to raise the rent on the barbershop. The characters had a great falling out and then, at the end of the show, they were brought back together in the courthouse. Howard had a little difficulty with that segment. We had to change our shooting schedules a little so that his days were not quite so long as they had been. And then, finally, we had a very simple scene of reconciliation. He couldn't remember it. He went over it and over it, frustrated with himself. Seeing his despair and anxiety was the most painful experience that I've ever had. And then he didn't come back after that." <br />
<br />
On January 3, 1969, Howard McNear passed away of complications from pneumonia caused by a stroke at San Fernando Valley Veterans Hospital in Sylmar, California. He was interred in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. Actor and old friend Parley Baer delivered his eulogy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Howard Terbell McNear was born January 27, 1905 in Los Angeles, CA. His mother and father were Inzetta Spencer and Frank Ellis McNear. He had three older siblings: a brother named Frank Wood McNear (b: 29 Mar 1896 d: 29 Dec 1957); a sister named Ruth Ellis (whom Howard never met because she only lived 8 months and passed away 6 years before his birth (b: 29 Apr 1898 d: 5 Jan 1899) and a second brother named Ellis Hedges McNear (b: 7 Nov 1899). Both Howard and his oldest brother Frank married wives named Helen. <br />
<br />
=Career=<br />
Howard studied at the Oatman School of Theater and he joined a theater company in San Diego where he was a leading man. Howard began working in radio in the late 1930s, finding some fame for himself as an action star in the 1937–1940 radio serial "Speed Gibson of the International Secret Police". In this "Johnny Quest" type adventure show, he played the role Speed Gibson's uncle and ace operator Clint Barlow. <br />
<br />
Howard was effective in authoritative roles like Clint Barlow, but he gravitated more toward character roles that often had a comic leaning.<br />
<br />
He enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army Air Corps on November 17, 1942 during World War II serving until 1945 (AAF MOS 442 USAAF). <br />
<br />
In 1952, he created the role of Doc Charles Adams in CBS Radio's Gunsmoke that ran until 1961. Fellow citizen of Mayberry, Parley Bear (a.k.a. Mayor Stoner) played Chester on the radio version of Gunsmoke.<br />
<br />
Howard was under contract to CBS for many years and was featured in many of the network's radio and TV programs. From 1955 to 1960 he appeared frequently, in various roles, on the popular radio detective series "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar."<br />
<br />
Howard made his film debut in the 1953 film Escape from Fort Bravo. Over the course of his career, he would appear in over one hundred film and television guest spots.<br />
<br />
In 1958, Howard guest starred as a barber named Andy on an episode titled "The Shave" of "Leave It to Beaver", a role which proved prophetic of what would come his way couple of years later.<br />
<br />
=Floyd the Barber=<br />
[[File:Howardmcnear_beaver.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Howard Mcnear as Andy the barber on Leave It To Beaver ]]<br />
In 1961, he was cast as the talkative barber Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show. During the show's run, Howard suffered a stroke that rendered the left side of his body nearly paralyzed. He was off the show from the episode "Convicts at Large" which aired December 10, 1962 until March 30, 1964 in the episode "Divorce, Mountain Style."<br />
<br />
In Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Andy Griffith had the following to say about actor Howard McNear (Floyd): <br />
<br />
::"Then Howard had a stroke and was bad off for a long time. He was out of our show for about a year and three-quarters. We did a lot of soft shows, that is, those that were not hard on comedy -- stories about the boy or the aunt. But we needed comedy scenes to break up things.<br />
::We were working on a script one day, and Aaron [Ruben] said, `Boy do I wish we had Howard.' And one of us said, `Why don't we see if we can get him.' So right then we called up Howard's house and we got his wife, Helen. `Oh,' she said, `it would be a godsend.'<br />
<br />
::Well, we wrote him a little scene. He was paralyzed all down his left side and so we couldn't show him walking. We had him sitting or we built a stand that supported him. He could then stand behind the barber chair and use one hand. Most of the time, however, we had him sitting. His mind was not affected at all. He was with us about two years after that before he died. Finally poor Howard died. I'm sorry because there was never anyone like him. Kind, kind man." <br />
<br />
Also in Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague) had this to say about Howard:<br />
<br />
::"Unfortunately, I didn't know Howard before his stroke. Even after his stroke he was just a wonderful human being and a splendid actor. Sadly, it was during the playing of a scene with Howard that we realized he couldn't go on anymore.<br />
<br />
::It was the segment where I wanted to raise the rent on the barbershop. The characters had a great falling out and then, at the end of the show, they were brought back together in the courthouse. Howard had a little difficulty with that segment. We had to change our shooting schedules a little so that his days were not quite so long as they had been. And then, finally, we had a very simple scene of reconciliation. He couldn't remember it. He went over it and over it, frustrated with himself. Seeing his despair and anxiety was the most painful experience that I've ever had. And then he didn't come back after that." <br />
<br />
On January 3, 1969, Howard McNear passed away of complications from pneumonia caused by a stroke at San Fernando Valley Veterans Hospital in Sylmar, California. He was interred in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. Actor and old friend Parley Baer delivered his eulogy.<br />
<br />
=Passing=<br />
Richard Linke (Associate Producer) had this to say about McNear's funeral: <br />
<br />
::"We went to the funeral, and I have to say that it was the only funeral I've ever been to where the laughs exceeded the tears. There were a couple of people who knew him well. They spoke in the form of a eulogy -- I guess you could call it that. Oh, but it was funny. They related Howard McNear stories from the pulpit. It was something else. Really, it made a nice thing. I think Hal Smith, who played Otis, got up there. It was something else, those stories. And yet, it was all done with dignity. Oh, he was a nice man." <br />
<br />
When McNear passed in 1969, it was his old friend Parley Baer who delivered the eulogy at the funeral.<br />
<br />
Howard was survived by his wife, Helen, and son, Christopher (a.k.a. Kitt).<br />
<br />
=Corrections=<br />
It has been reported that Howard first appeared an uncredited role in the 1951 sci-fi film The Day The Earth Stood Still as a boarding house resident. The film also featured Fances Bavier (Aunt Bee) and Olan Soule (choir director John Masters) from TAGS.<br />
<br />
Howard McNear was NOT in The Day The Earth Stood Still. The person mistaken to be Mr. McNear is actor John Brown (who play boarding house resident George Barley). He is seen in the image below on "I Love Lucy."<br />

[[Category:The Andy Griffith Show Actors|McNear, Howard]]</div>Anewsomehttps://www.mayberry.info/history/index.php?title=Howard_McNear&diff=6129Howard McNear2024-01-03T18:16:39Z<p>Anewsome: /* Career */ Corrected information about Howard's first appearance.</p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:Howardmcnear.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Howard Mcnear]]<br />
<br />
Howard Terbell McNear was born January 27, 1905 in Los Angeles, CA. His mother and father were Inzetta Spencer and Frank Ellis McNear. He had three older siblings: a brother named Frank Wood McNear (b: 29 Mar 1896 d: 29 Dec 1957); a sister named Ruth Ellis (whom Howard never met because she only lived 8 months and passed away 6 years before his birth (b: 29 Apr 1898 d: 5 Jan 1899) and a second brother named Ellis Hedges McNear (b: 7 Nov 1899). Both Howard and his oldest brother Frank married wives named Helen. <br />
<br />
=Career=<br />
Howard studied at the Oatman School of Theater and he joined a theater company in San Diego where he was a leading man. Howard began working in radio in the late 1930s, finding some fame for himself as an action star in the 1937–1940 radio serial "Speed Gibson of the International Secret Police". In this "Johnny Quest" type adventure show, he played the role Speed Gibson's uncle and ace operator Clint Barlow. <br />
<br />
Howard was effective in authoritative roles like Clint Barlow, but he gravitated more toward character roles that often had a comic leaning.<br />
<br />
He enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army Air Corps on November 17, 1942 during World War II serving until 1945 (AAF MOS 442 USAAF). <br />
<br />
In 1952, he created the role of Doc Charles Adams in CBS Radio's Gunsmoke that ran until 1961. Fellow citizen of Mayberry, Parley Bear (a.k.a. Mayor Stoner) played Chester on the radio version of Gunsmoke.<br />
<br />
Howard was under contract to CBS for many years and was featured in many of the network's radio and TV programs. From 1955 to 1960 he appeared frequently, in various roles, on the popular radio detective series "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar."<br />
<br />
Howard made his film debut in the 1953 film Escape from Fort Bravo. Over the course of his career, he would appear in over one hundred film and television guest spots.<br />
<br />
In 1958, Howard guest starred as a barber named Andy on an episode titled "The Shave" of "Leave It to Beaver", a role which proved prophetic of what would come his way couple of years later.<br />
<br />
=Floyd the Barber=<br />
[[File:Howardmcnear_beaver.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Howard Mcnear as Andy the barber on Leave It To Beaver ]]<br />
In 1961, he was cast as the talkative barber Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show. During the show's run, Howard suffered a stroke that rendered the left side of his body nearly paralyzed. He was off the show from the episode "Convicts at Large" which aired December 10, 1962 until March 30, 1964 in the episode "Divorce, Mountain Style."<br />
<br />
In Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Andy Griffith had the following to say about actor Howard McNear (Floyd): <br />
<br />
::"Then Howard had a stroke and was bad off for a long time. He was out of our show for about a year and three-quarters. We did a lot of soft shows, that is, those that were not hard on comedy -- stories about the boy or the aunt. But we needed comedy scenes to break up things.<br />
::We were working on a script one day, and Aaron [Ruben] said, `Boy do I wish we had Howard.' And one of us said, `Why don't we see if we can get him.' So right then we called up Howard's house and we got his wife, Helen. `Oh,' she said, `it would be a godsend.'<br />
<br />
::Well, we wrote him a little scene. He was paralyzed all down his left side and so we couldn't show him walking. We had him sitting or we built a stand that supported him. He could then stand behind the barber chair and use one hand. Most of the time, however, we had him sitting. His mind was not affected at all. He was with us about two years after that before he died. Finally poor Howard died. I'm sorry because there was never anyone like him. Kind, kind man." <br />
<br />
Also in Richard Kelly's book, The Andy Griffith Show, Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague) had this to say about Howard:<br />
<br />
::"Unfortunately, I didn't know Howard before his stroke. Even after his stroke he was just a wonderful human being and a splendid actor. Sadly, it was during the playing of a scene with Howard that we realized he couldn't go on anymore.<br />
<br />
::It was the segment where I wanted to raise the rent on the barbershop. The characters had a great falling out and then, at the end of the show, they were brought back together in the courthouse. Howard had a little difficulty with that segment. We had to change our shooting schedules a little so that his days were not quite so long as they had been. And then, finally, we had a very simple scene of reconciliation. He couldn't remember it. He went over it and over it, frustrated with himself. Seeing his despair and anxiety was the most painful experience that I've ever had. And then he didn't come back after that." <br />
<br />
On January 3, 1969, Howard McNear passed away of complications from pneumonia caused by a stroke at San Fernando Valley Veterans Hospital in Sylmar, California. He was interred in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. Actor and old friend Parley Baer delivered his eulogy.<br />
<br />
=Passing=<br />
Richard Linke (Associate Producer) had this to say about McNear's funeral: <br />
<br />
::"We went to the funeral, and I have to say that it was the only funeral I've ever been to where the laughs exceeded the tears. There were a couple of people who knew him well. They spoke in the form of a eulogy -- I guess you could call it that. Oh, but it was funny. They related Howard McNear stories from the pulpit. It was something else. Really, it made a nice thing. I think Hal Smith, who played Otis, got up there. It was something else, those stories. And yet, it was all done with dignity. Oh, he was a nice man." <br />
<br />
When McNear passed in 1969, it was his old friend Parley Baer who delivered the eulogy at the funeral.<br />
<br />
Howard was survived by his wife, Helen, and son, Christopher (a.k.a. Kitt).<br />

==Plot Summary==<br />
Mr. Maxwell, an independent record producer, passes through Mayberry and records some of the local talent. After Barney, Floyd, and several other locals invest some money with Maxwell, Andy becomes suspicious. Having convinced the town they've been conned, Andy has to eat his words when Maxwell returns with the syndicate's first dividend check.<br />

Set in Rachel Kansas, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is the first of Don Knotts movies after leaving The Andy Griffith Show. Many actors from Mayberry showed up Rachel.<br />
<br />
The first is, of course, Don Knotts as Luther Heggs but we should start of with behinds the scenes folks. <br />
<br />
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken was written by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum. Andy Griffith also helped re-write the script but is uncredited for his efforts. Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum co-wrote 29 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and one episode of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C..<br />
<br />
Those are only the beginning of the connections and fun trivia relating Mayberry and Don Knotts' first movie. Turns out there was so much that this will be the first of two episodes of Two Chairs No Waiting that we'll do on The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.<br />
<br />
Episodes of the Two Chairs No Waiting Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast have focused on this wonderful movie.<br />

==Background==<br />
<br />
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken was written by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum. Andy Griffith also helped re-write the script but is uncredited for his efforts.<br />
<br />
===The Simmons House===<br />
<br />
http://www.thestudiotour.com/ush/backlot/street_colonial_2.html<br />
<br />
Originally built for the 1946 movie "So Goes My Love".<br />
The MR. CHICKEN house (known as the Allison house) was built in the '40s for the film SO GOES MY LOVE with Don Ameche (as was the Munsters' house). The Allison House has similar characteristics to the PSYCHO house, but it is a different house altogether. Both the Allison house and the Munster house can be seen on the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES TV show.<br />
<br />
Featured in "Harvey" with James Stewart (1950) as no.348, the Dowd house <br />
<br />
The house also featured in the short-lived Animal House spin-off Delta House.<br />
<br />
You may notice that the house has many elements in common with the "Psycho" house (shown at right) , as they were both built from the same "stock" units.<br />
<br />
The house on The Ghost and Mr. Chicken has been used as Gabrielle's house in "Desperate Housewives" but has a slightly amended roof, possibly to avoid comparisons with the Psycho house. <br />

== Interesting Information ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== At a boy, Luther ===<br />
<br />
"Atta boy" voice was Everett Greenbaum, one of the writers.<br />
<br />
===Reta Shaw's character name===<br />
Fritzell and Greenbaum DID write the episode "[[Darling_Baby,_The_(TAGS_Episode)|The Darling Baby]]" when the name "Halcyon Loretta Winslow" was mentioned. Likely where the name "Halcyon Maxwell" came from for Reta Shaw's character.<br />
<br />
=== Cast Member Information ===<br />
Philip Ober who played Nicholas Simmons was born 23 March 1902 in Fort Payne, Alabama, USA. He was married to Vivian Vance from ''I Love Lucy'' (12 August 1941 - 24 April 1959) (divorced). His best remembered roles would probably be that of the murder victim who dies in Cary Grant's arms in North by Northwest (1959) and the bullying officer whose wife is having an affair with his subordinate, Burt Lancaster, in From Here to Eternity (1953). He retired from acting and went into the U.S. diplomatic service, and, while working at the U.S. consulate in Mexico City, died of a heart attack in 1982.<br />

== Interesting Information ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== At a boy, Luther ===<br />
<br />
"Atta boy" voice was Everett Greenbaum, one of the writers.<br />
<br />
===Reta Shaw's character name===<br />
Fritzell and Greenbaum DID write the episode "The Darling Baby" when the name "Halcyon Loretta Winslow" was mentioned. Likely where the name "Halcyon Maxwell" came from for Reta Shaw's character.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Cast Member Information ===<br />
Philip Ober who played Nicholas Simmons was born 23 March 1902 in Fort Payne, Alabama, USA. He was married to Vivian Vance from ''I Love Lucy'' (12 August 1941 - 24 April 1959) (divorced). His best remembered roles would probably be that of the murder victim who dies in Cary Grant's arms in North by Northwest (1959) and the bullying officer whose wife is having an affair with his subordinate, Burt Lancaster, in From Here to Eternity (1953). He retired from acting and went into the U.S. diplomatic service, and, while working at the U.S. consulate in Mexico City, died of a heart attack in 1982.<br />

Set in Rachel Kansas, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is the first of Don Knotts movies after leaving The Andy Griffith Show. Many actors from Mayberry showed up Rachel.<br />
<br />
The first is, of course, Don Knotts as Luther Heggs but we should start of with behinds the scenes folks. <br />
<br />
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken was written by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum. Andy Griffith also helped re-write the script but is uncredited for his efforts. Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum co-wrote 29 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and one episode of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C..<br />
<br />
Those are only the beginning of the connections and fun trivia relating Mayberry and Don Knotts' first movie. Turns out there was so much that this will be the first of two episodes of Two Chairs No Waiting that we'll do on The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.<br />

===The Simmons House===<br />
<br />
http://www.thestudiotour.com/ush/backlot/street_colonial_2.html<br />
<br />
Originally built for the 1946 movie "So Goes My Love".<br />
The MR. CHICKEN house (known as the Allison house) was built in the '40s for the film SO GOES MY LOVE with Don Ameche (as was the Munsters' house). The Allison House has similar characteristics to the PSYCHO house, but it is a different house altogether. Both the Allison house and the Munster house can be seen on the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES TV show.<br />
<br />
Featured in "Harvey" with James Stewart (1950) as no.348, the Dowd house <br />
<br />
The house also featured in the short-lived Animal House spin-off Delta House.<br />
<br />
You may notice that the house has many elements in common with the "Psycho" house (shown at right) , as they were both built from the same "stock" units.<br />
<br />
The house on The Ghost and Mr. Chicken has been used as Gabrielle's house in "Desperate Housewives" but has a slightly amended roof, possibly to avoid comparisons with the Psycho house. <br />
