Odd Facts Known by Few

  • James Best, Jim Lindsey on this episode, is a painter. He creates many oil paintings and has his own website.
  • Much has been said about whether the buildings on the 40 acres backlot had interiors. In this episode Freddy Fleet's band is in a restaurant situated where the drugstore will be in the next episode. A plain view out the window shows that this set is really where it purports to be. What's funny, is that it was never used again.

Memorable Quotes

Andy: Jim?

Jim: Huh?
Andy: Why in the world don't you do somethin' about yourself?
Jim: What do you mean, Andy?
Andy: Well, you got a fine talent there. You're the best guitar player I ever heard.
Jim: Well that's mighty nice of you, Andy...but Mayberry ain't very big.
Andy: Well now, who says you got to stay in Mayberry? You heard all these fellas that come through here playin' in the shows. How 'bout that fella we see every now and then on television, a'shakin' and a'screamin' - sounds like somebody's beatin' his dog. You're better than all of them.
Jim: Well now, I wouldn't say that.
Andy: Well yes you are, too...
