Skipper Duke

Update y'all. The New Dukes thru Ding Dong, the Boss Is Dead are all available now.

In book, Regina thought Leigh was a nice girl but not quite good enough for her son. What did she want? Arnie to date a girl who behaved like her?

Arnie Cunningham:"Come on. Cut it out. Don't." Leigh Cabot:"What's a matter? Don't like me slapping your girl?"

Arnie is busted in book for running contraband cigarettes.

In a book scene, Arnie or Dennis one tells the other "F*** you Range Rider, and the cayuse you rode in on!"

Someone on Facebook said in a post "Moochie was a dope for not thinking the car was immortal when the radio came on by itself right in front of him." My Facebook friend Mary Lou Tringali said "That’s how it was written. He’s an actor. Duh." I said "Yep and plus to be fair he didn't know had no way of knowing couldn't have known it was haunted either to be fair."

I had to tell my friend something. She thinks the Christine cars were really haunted and could drive themselves and all that. Told her "Um you know there was really no demons in the cars right? You know it was all rigged special Hollywood effects."

Christine Fun Fact: Arnie threatens Regina in book. He threatens to drop out of high school. And not go to college either.

Christine Fun Fact: Stephen King author of the novel is a fan of John Carpenter's movie version Christine.

Dennis Guilder:"What about Sally Hayes huh? She's cute."

State Police Detective Rudolph Junkins:"I wouldn't feel so bad if I were you. You two are heroes you know." Dennis Guilder:"Yeah. A real hero could've saved Arnie." Leigh Cabot:"We didn't do to hot." State Police Detective Rudolph Junkins:"Hey, some things can't be helped. Some people too."

Boss and Rosco were always on a QUEST to nab the Dukes

Hey y'all. Mom and I drove by Delmar today, and I got a piece of the red tile roof that was left behind in clean up. I have a souvenir from Delmar Ave now!

(Season 5 Lawman of the Year) Vance:"Things are beginning to smell like an acre full of onions to me cuz. It just ain't like Boss not to be worried after seein' that wanted poster." Coy:"That's just what I was thinkin'. Seein' Morris is a bank robber, an' Boss has the only bank in town. It's like he don't wanna stop 'em!" Vance:"Hey! Maybe that's the reason he ain't so worried, 'cause he's tied up with 'em!" Coy:"I know Boss is slipperier than 7 acres of goose grease, but rob his own bank?!" Vance:"I wouldn't put anything past him. An' it doesn't hurt any to be on the safe side."

Post from Andy Griffith Museum #WednesdayWisdom life lessons from the "Deputy Otis" episode Ralph Campbell, Otis's brother, makes a surprise visit to Mayberry. Otis, never expecting his brother and sister-in-law to visit, led them to believe that he works in the Mayberry sheriff's office. Otis tugs at Andy, Barney, and the viewers heartstrings when he talks about his family's comparison, "Ralph's gonna do real good. Ralph's gonna do fine. Why can't you be more like Ralph?" However, we find out Ralph also likes to get drunk on Saturday night and lock himself in jail, just like Otis. #lifelessons from #theandygriffithshow ⭐Too much comparison leads to unhappiness and low self-esteem. ⭐Sometimes you've got to have more faith. You never know how things are going to turn out. ⭐Don't walk to far while trying to keep it all sucked in. It ain't easy. #bekind #BeEncouragedToday #friendshelpingfriends #loveyourneighbor #andygriffithshow #goodtv #lessonslearned

Christine Fun Fact: The guy carrying the boom box listening to Rock N Roll in the junkyard, was George Thorogood(Bad to Bone)writer and singer. He was supposed to speak in the cubed Christine scene. But his acting was very bad, he wound up with that non speaking role of the boom box music listener instead.

Christine Fun Fact: Did you know in the book, Leigh thinks of the car Christine as "Arnie's steel girlfriend!"

Did y'all catch the blooper in Season 1 Episode 1 One Armed Bandits in the junkyard? The Dixie horn is blown. It stops. Then it finishes before they leave on the stake out of Rosco's slot machines.

Christine Fun Fact: Bits of that scene in Darnell's Garage when Dennis and Leigh crush Christine with the Cat dozer is shot in a mirror. A mirror designed specifically for shooting film thru.

Christine Fun Fact: In the book, State Police Detective Rudolph Junkins likely knew Arnie Cunningham was running something else for Will Darnell. Arnie's lucky he only got charged with the cigarettes rap not for coke.

Those cars all became red and white later. They were first used in Buckskin Beige to film those opening scenes.
