but how is her "Oh Maaaarrrrkkk?"MarkA said:She certainly does!
I believe you are correct in terms of the conception of the show. But I think they gave "hints" early on by referring to a very small, yet real, Fancy Gap in a season 1 episode. Not positive that it was S1, but I think it was. And of course, any time we heard a mention of Mount Pilot they were pinpointing the setting pretty straightforwardly.FanCollector said:I think there was an evolution of the specificity of Mayberry in the course of the series. The initial idea was to make it as vague as possible in terms of location or geography, but Griffith himself championed the idea of making Mayberry a version of his own Mount Airy. As the seasons went on, and Griffith's own influence grew, the details given started to match Mount Airy more directly.
Maybe one of those convicts running around in the striped shirt have it?Shatner's Grim Reaper said:I tell you what Gary...you sure are schooling this native Tarheel on "Mayberry"....mmmm boy. Now where did i put my Big Orange???
Yeah, I loved her place... and the Elgins.shc57783 said:My vote would be for Ojai, California, circa 1975 (The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman). Looks like a friendly, beautiful small town. Jaime Sommers' carriage house is the coolest! And who wouldn't want parents like the Elgins and a dog like Maximillion?
