How are these Mayberry characters related?

Can you tell us how these 'Andy Griffith Show' folk are kin?

 CBS Television Distribution

Have you seen enough of The Andy Griffith Show to consider yourself an honorary citizen of Mayberry? The beloved sitcom was populated with dozens of colorful characters. We met everyone from the mayor to the local sot. Because it was such a small town, many of the folks were related.


Let's see how well you remember these relations. To make it a little more challenging, we threw in a pinch of Mayberry R.F.D., too.

Good luck!

Watch The Andy Griffith Show on MeTV!

It was mentioned in the first episode of TAGS that Andy and Barney were cousins, but, to my knowledge, it was never alluded to again!

11/11 Pretty easy with exception of one that I guessed about Sam and his replacement housekeeper.

"You got 10 out of 11. Well, shoot! Well done! We might just have to make you a deputy."

Missed #8, that's going pretty deep into the weeds to have to know Johnny Paul Jason's
uncle owns Foley's Grocery. Not many people know Johnny Paul was adopted, his real parents are
the roue Floyd Lawson and Daphne the Fun Girl.

Don't feel bad because she did go to a dance with Goober but wanted to be with Sam.

How could you possibly get 11/11 and not know what TAGS means? That is an easy one compared to some of those questions. I only got 8/11. I missed the first one, I did not know that Andy and Barney were related, and then two of the colored episodes as I have never seen any of those.
