Some were Mayberry locals, others caused a stir when they came to town.

Many characters on The Andy Griffith Show are defined by what they do for a living. It’s impossible to hear Andy, Barney or Floyd and not think of the occupations that go with each of those names.

We’ve collected main Mayberry residents along with a few one-off characters only the biggest Andy Griffith fans will know. Can you match each person to the right job?

15 out of 15. This was so easy for me since I grew up watching the series and own all the seasons on DVD, still watch it faithfully on MeTV.

15/15. I only saw that episode once or twice, but I remember it. He was new in town and very young. The old doctor had moved away or retired, and nobody wanted to give the new guy a chance. Opie got sick, tonsils I think, and Andy let the new doctor take care of Opie. Then the town's people accepted doctor. He didn't become a regular character.
