20/25. And I think I've been watching too much Murder, She Wrote. I got to the question about Julie Adams and wondered "What the hell was Eve Simpson doing in Mayberry?".

What about Goober's girlfriend Lidia (Josie Lloyd)? I have always thought that was one of the funniest episodes of the whole series!!

Andy should have married southern bell Peggy McMillen, so much prettier than Helen Krupp and a better personality, plus her daddy was rich, a definite win win situation.

That kid who played Aneta Corsault’s little brother, Danny, was probably the worst child actor, in the history of Hollywood!
