The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married ….
Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T. Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara ……. and, of course, Opie– all single.
The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk……….

My guess no blacks
I never thought of that. But as an alcoholic married thirty years now, it makes sense.
Helen and Thelma Lou thought about it…
Tommy, Gomer wasn’t married but rumor has it he was in a serious relationship with Roman Gabriel, Deacon Jones, and possibly Merlin Olsen. Too funny bud. By the way he had the hots for Jack Snow, but he was to damn fast.
If that was true, the core of every big city in America would be fricki. utopia.
Definitely no Muslims
Rough week Moe?
i agree heartwholetely
Wasn’t it Mayberry RFD?
Ready
For
Divorce
Gaulleeeedey
Yeah. It’s true. Andy Griffith, a commie. Mm.
Peace would be great if we could just get the sexes right with each other. Males fill the deep needs of females. Females to know the needs ( past sex) of the male.
Mayberry isn’t a libtard town run by a libtard Mayor .
Poor Otis his wife was probably a liberal feminist .
Word was that once Barney fired his lone bullet he was done for the evening and had to sleep on the couch…
Nah… It was peaceful because Andy only gave Barney one bullet and Barney kept it in his pocket.
Nah, it was the Fun Girls, big city girls from Mt Pilot, that kept things mellow Mayberry.

Curly once asked ‘Are you married or are you happy?’
I have autographs of all those football players – I’ve had them since I was 12. (Jack Snow’s son JT graduated high school the same year as my little sister – they went to the same school).
Once everyone got married, the show turned into Mayberry RIP.
It was over when Andy married anal-retentive ballbuster Helen Crump.
His first girlfriend Ellie (Elinor Donahue) was way hotter and cooler.
Other girlfriends Joanna Moore and Sue Ann Langdon were real honeys.
No wonder the guy went commie.
Or as my uncle says, “Do you wanna be right, or do you wanna be happy?”
Maybe Gomer wuz onto sumthin…
I’ve seen a lot of the Andy Griffith Show and only once did I spot a black woman in a crowd. There is no such thing as a southern town with NO blacks in it.
A guy at work announced that he was gonna marry the girl he’d lived with for 25 years, or so.
Another guy asked “What, you tired of fucking her?”
One of my favorite episodes is when the two spinster sisters shut down all the moonshiners in town so that they can sell their “elixir” which is just moonshine but according to them not bad because its used for religious and medicinal purposes.
One guy comes back multiple times for the elixir. One of the old gals remarks about how much they’ve sold to him and then says “who knew Mayberry had so many muslims?”.
So apparently they did have muzzies in mayberry–hypocritical drunken ones
That’s funny but it’s not really accurate. Floyd was married and had kids. We even meet his son on the show. Both mayors of Mayberry are married and have kids. Thelma Lou leaves Mayberry to get married. I think Andy and Helen get married in the very last episode. And if you count the “Return to Mayberry” special Barney finally marries Thelma Lou and Opie (all grown up but still played by Ron Howard) – is married and has kids. And Clara is a widow.
Also the people that Andy and Barney have dealings with are usually always married. And Mayberry is full of kids. Just sayin’ :–)
Huh. And all this time I thought it was peaceful because it was all made up and had nothing to do with reality.
..kinda like Washington DC
It really wasn’t that peaceful anyway. In one ep all of the women in town protest to keep a man being thrown off his property to build a highway. In another Andy returns from a business trip to find that Barney had the whole entire town locked up in jail. There are countless attempts to rob the bank and fugitives always seem to end up there. When a criminal is brought in he almost always escapes (usually because of Barney) – and then a full scale manhunt ensues. Mayberry is really a pretty jumping place it just looks peaceful on the surface.
Ernest T. Bass/ also single.
He was on the list. Check it out.
