From puppy crushes to long-term romances, the show wove sweetness into its most memorable plots. One of the earliest and most charming arcs of affection comes from young Opie Taylor. In Season 5\u2019s \u201cOpie Loves Helen,\u201d he awkwardly but adorably develops a crush on his schoolteacher, Miss Helen Crump \u2014 even going so far as buying her a gift with his hard-earned 74 cents! Opie\u2019s loves continued into season 8, where in \u201cOpie\u2019s First Love\u201d he musters the courage to ask classmate Mary Alice Carter to a party \u2014 a classic tween drama complete with dance plans and mixed signals. Aunt Bee Taylor\u2019s love life also got its share of spotlight. From an old beau, Roger Hanover, returning to Mayberry to court her to trying out the idea of marriage with dry-cleaner Fred Goss, Aunt Bee was hit by Cupid\u2019s arrow from time to time. This episode we\u2019ll explore how Andy & Helen and Barney & Thelma Lou romances didn\u2019t rush it, and as fans know, but ultimately end up together. Love in Mayberry wasn\u2019t about drama or high stakes \u2014 it was about sincerity, community support, awkward moments, and personal growth. We\u2019ll play some trivia with the topic \u201cOh, you\u2019re funny, you are!\u201d by Paul Mulik. To wrap things up a song for Jenny Boone from her husband Fred. The lyrics are by my friend Ronnie Felker but it is most certainly Fred\u2019s \u2018hort\u2019 speakin\u2019 to Jenny\u2019s \u2018hort.\u2019 Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don\u2019t forget to sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting e-mail mailing list.  I want to be able to reach out to you if there\u2019s a problem with the website and the best way to do that is by using a mailing list.  Don\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t be filling your mailbox with e-mail but I would like to have a way to say \u201chey\u201d if the need arises.
