FYI The original Andy Griffith show intro (it's a little racist)

[CunningLinguist]

Many people don't know this, but 'Mayberry' started out as a white-only North Carolina town. The writers of the Andy Griffith show decided to change the intro into something a little friendlier. I happen to have a rare copy of the original intro.

Hey Paw!
Yeah Opie ? ...
I got that Nigger right in the back of the Head !!

That's my Boy, good job Ope.

Now, Son ...
Help me tie some Bricks to this Burr-Head and roll him into the lake,
then we'll go get us a big plate of Aunt Bee's Rhubarb Pie ...

Yeah ... but
It's a heck of alot better to let kids watch that nowadays, than some truly Crapola
stuff, they've put out since. The show will teach kids valuable life lessons and Morals.


A Bit of Show Trivia:
* Andy was raw-dogg'in the pretty brunette Pharmacy gal, while married.
* Don Knotts had the reputation (off-screen) as a real Alley Cat, more like
his character Ralph Furley in Three's Company. (Dirty Old Man theme)
* Opie grew up from being a cute kid to Uglier than Homemade Shit.
* Aunt Bee didn't like most fellow cast members.
* Gomer Pyle was as Queer as Goldfish Toes.
