312- MR. McBEEBE...And THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW...A MORALITY PLAY?...

A) A social commentary....
B) Thank heavens that there are Andy Griffith reruns out and about on television. TV, by the way, can be a total learning experience, very cleverly created by brilliant thinkers and writers and actors like Andy Griffith.
C) While writing at my TYPEWRITER, at times, I have a GOOD habit of listening in the background to music or TV...news. Some of us, by the way, have been involved in multi-tasking long before it was listed in the latest dictionary.
Opie, remember little Opie before he grew up to become a superstar director, and his Dad had a special relationship. Once, Opie met Mr. McBeebe out in the woods as he was climbing trees to install lines. When Opie tried to tell his Dad about this neat guy named Mr. McBeebe, Andy didn't believe his son and brushed him off as it was simply being imagination. The Dad didn't believe his son!
D) Funny, in the last scene, someone is coming down the tree talking up a storm, jingling with his gear, near Andy...it was Mr. McBeebe!
Andy smiled and realized that his son, little Opie, was telling the truth!
Andy Griffith always, in each episode, had an around-about moral to cleverly share.
E) The show, therefore, WAS a morality play...every week!
