Can you recognize Andy Griffith Show characters in Westerns?

How far is it from Mayberry to Dodge City?

There may have been a sheriff and a deputy, not to mention all-American morals, but it's hard to label The Andy Griffith Show a Western. And not just because the show took place in North Carolina.

But if you love Westerns, as well as the citizens of Mayberry, we have good news for you. The cast of The Andy Griffith Show popped up in all sorts of cowboy tales.

Below, you will find some familiar Mayberry denizens on other classic TV shows. Can you recognize them — and name their Mayberry characters?

* Saw Emmett on an Alfred Hitchcock episode a few days ago as a safe-cracker challenged to open a new burglar-proof safe! Great episode!

"Peggy" was planned by Joanna Moore, Tatum O'Neil's mother and Ryan O'Neil's ex-wife.

Ken Berry, who was the star of MAYBERRY RFD for 3 years after TAGS ended, starred in a comedy western series on ABC called F TROOP in the 1960s. I think it ran for 2 or 3 years.
