Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: As Warren, Jack Burns would occasionally use his stand up trademark of making a statement to another character [[Rapid-Fire Interrupting|then saying "huh?" "huh?" "huh?" until then when the other character shouts an agreement with him to get him to shut up.]]
* [[The Danza]]: Andy Griffith as Andy Taylor and Elinor Donahue as Ellie Walker.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[wikipedia:List of The Andy Griffith Show guest stars|Lot of guest stars]], though this troper remembers Lee Van Cleef in a ''very'' small role as--surprise--a bad guy in the carnival episode.
Line 8:
** Ben Weaver, the department store owner, was played by three different actors over the course of the show.
** Four different actors played Wally, the owner of the filling station.
* [[The Pete Best]]: McNear took over the role of Floyd after Baldwin's one-time appearance as the character.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: An example was Frank Sutton, who portrayed Sgt. Vince Carter, in an episode that's called "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." about Gomer joining the U.S. Marines. This episode led to an actual [[Spin-Off|spin-off]] series.
* [[Reality Subtext]]:
** Griffith is a native Tarheel. Mayberry is a pastiche of Mt. Airy, where he grew up. Nearby to Mount Airy is Pilot Mountain, renamed to Mount Pilot for the show.
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
** In a more literal sense, as mentioned about, scripts were already written with Barney in them for the beginning of Season Six, but with Don Knotts not returning, Barney was simply replaced with Warren in the scripts.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Originally, Andy was supposed to be the comedic lead with Knotts as his straight man (similar to their roles in ''No Time For Sergeants'', but they quickly discovered it was funnier the other way around: "By the second episode, I knew that Don should be funny, and I should play straight."
* [[Write What You Know]]/[[No Communities Were Harmed]]: Mayberry is based very heavily on Griffith's home town of Mt. Airy, NC.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [https://mayberry.fandom.com/wiki/The_Andy_Griffith_Show_Wiki The Andy Griffith Show Wiki].
