Mayberry Trivia Challenge: Championship level Andy Griffith Show questions

Try to answer actual questions from the annual Mayberry Days World Championship of Trivia.

 

You think you know The Andy Griffith Show? These are some of the actual questions asked at the Mayberry Days World Championship of Trivia, held every year at Mayberry Days in Mt. Airy, North Carolina.

Well, there is one key difference — contestants there do not have multiple choice!

"Mayberry Mike" selected these questions for the ultimate fans. Put your knowledge to the test! 

Round One — How well do you know Sheriff Andy?

Round Two — How well do you know Barney Fife?

Round Three — How well do you know Opie Taylor?

Round Four — How well do you know other Mayberry characters?

It's time for the Final Round — Can you answer real questions from the World Championship of TAGS Trivia?

Seriously? You practically have to be an actual writer on the show to get these (without cheating).

I tried this quiz again and got 12/20 but it comes up as 12/12. Me TV needs to fix this glitch.

So far, trivia questions here have been Great--NOT this one. . .this was bogus { obviously some answers were not right }; whoever culled these questions must have had a drinking competition with Otis before creating this debacle!

Thank God the form of torture known as The Month of Mayberry is rapidly coming to a close and "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "My Three Sons" are returning to their regular time slots beginning on Monday morning. And what better way to celebrate than with the airing of the incredibly hilarious "Manhattan Hillbillies" episode featuring guest star Phil Silvers and an uncredited cameo appearance by the one and only Sammy Davis, Jr.!
