Opies Rival really shows what a little possessive brat Opie can be.

I love this show. I can't go a day without watching it. I think I need the 1-800 number. 😂😂😂

13 out of 13 just because I love The Andy Griffith Show. 😊 Same actress (Ronda Jeter) who played Karen Burgess was also later Sharon Porter and in the season 4 episode 29, “The Rumor” is one of Helen’s students named ‘Ethel’. Also, in the season 4 episode 7, “A Black Day for Mayberry” she was in the crowd next to Opie when the gold truck came in town. Ok, I’ll shut up now lol 😆
