Skipper Duke Posted November 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipper Duke Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 Season 2 Andy on Trial Barney Fife:"You gotta understand. This is a small town, the Sheriff is more than just a Sheriff. He's a friend. An' the people in this town, they ain't got a better friend than Andy Taylor! As for Andy doin' his job, I'd like for you to take a look in the record book Mr. Jackson! Do you know there ain't ever been a major crime committed in this town, thanks to Sheriff Taylor? In fact, the only ruckus you'd ever have in Mayberry, is if you tried to remove him from office. Then you'd have a riot! You asked me if Andy runs a taut ship Mr. Milton. Well, no he don't! But, that's because of something that he's been tryin' to teach me ever since I started workin' for him, and that is, that when yer a lawman, and yer dealin' with people, you do a whole lot better if you go not so much by the book, but by the heart! I guess maybe that's to hard for some of you to understand. I don't know. That's all I got to say." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
