I don't remember Andy having another son with Helen. Must have not watched many of those. Did they ever show him?

The question said how many kids did he have at the end of the spinoff mayberry rfd.In the first episode of the second season on RFD Andy and Helen return to mayberry with their new baby Andy Jr,to have him Christen in Mayberry.But then in 1986 reunion movie "Return to Mayberry" Andy Jr is never mentioned.

* On a Mayberry RFD episode Andy & Helen had a few volunteers to be their baby's godfather at the christening. BTW Andelina (Charlene's baby), Andy (Quiet Sam's son) AND Andy Junior were NEVER seen beyond infancy!

8/11; I never paid much attention to phone numbers or population and missed those questions. Also missed the one on Goober's carburetor - never card much for the colored episodes.

Easiest one of all for me was the number of seasons, because earlier today I was just thinking about Allan Melvin, and how he had recurring roles on everything from the Dick Van Dyke Show to Gomer Pyle to the Brady Bunch to Magilla Gorilla and the Banana Splits, he played a different character in every TAGS episode he appeared in: eight, one for each season.

7/11 I can't believe the population was that high.

Well, how was I to know that Andy and Helen were going to give Opie a baby brother? And, I never did care much for Warren replacing Barney as deputy of Mayberry, and for Barney to be working someplace else. It just wasn't right.

* Barney had delusion about being a big city cop and followed his dream. Jack Burns as Warren had a thankless job of trying to win over viewers as the new deputy which was as difficult as anyone replacing Curly as the 3rd stooge. Yet no comedic actor would've ever been accepted as the new deputy.
