Can you recognize Andy Griffith Show actors on Happy Days?

Ron Howard wasn't the only actor to appear on both sitcoms!

But he was not the only actor to pop up on both shows. Indeed, there were several mini Mayberry reunions.

We gathered some characters who appeared in '50s/'60s Milwaukee and '60s Mayberry. Let's see if you can properly identify them all!

This must have been an easy quiz, because I got a 10/10. I’m usually not good at these, or second guess myself. 😉
