Crazy Secrets You Didn’t Know About The Andy Griffith Show. Bonus: What The Stars Look Like Today!

Star Trek Visits Mayberry

When Star Trek first debuted, the show was so underfunded that the set of Mayberry was used to film several different scenes. You can see Mayberry in the episodes “Miri” and “City on the Edge of Forever.” You can actually see Floyd’s Barber Shop in the background of scenes where Captain Kirk is walking with Edith Keeler. Also visible are the Mayberry Courthouse, Walkers Drugstore, and several other major landmarks.

Barney’s First Car

In one of the most memorable episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, Barney decides to buy his first car. He finds what he think he’s looking for in an ad in the paper and meets the little old lady who is selling it. He soon finds himself wrapped around her finger and even overpays for it, only to find out it really is a lemon.
