You got 10 out of 11 - Way to go, you nailed it! Missed #9. I knew 9 episodes was too many and was going to choose 5 but decided to pick 7 going right in the middle. I chose incorrectly. :( But I'll take it!!

I missed the one about the chin-ups. Howard Morris was so talented. I still can't believe how many cartoon voices he did, especially on the Jetsons.

Probably the number 1 Mayberry mystery is if he's illiterate who wrote the notes tied to the rocks? Also who cut Floyd's hair? 🤔

Remember when he said, "Surprize surprise I can see it in your eyes"? Wondered if that inspired Madonna's song "Angel"...LOL! A kid of the '80's would get that joke!

and then - this is a deep dig - but am sure 100% (helluuuuuuu wise guy : that Otis was on the radio for the barn ; cave rescue EP)

I think that was John Dehner on the radio (he played Colonel Harvey).

you are correct:) - The Indian Elixir and it got every old female crow shined up

Now this is a theme throughout the whole show/series ; How can anyone take a sip of hooch and not know it after the 1st taste?

Are these comments verified or can I lie and say I got 10/10 on every quiz?
That wouldn't be very Mayberry-like though then would it.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive
