20. Griffith’s Family Did Not Waste Any Time In Planning His Funeral.

21. Bass Didn’t Make An Appearance Until Late In Season Three.
In The Andy Griffith Show, Bass was a mad mountain guy who occasionally came down into Mayberry to wreak havoc on Sheriff Andy. He was a bundle of energy and ridiculous screaming as played by Howard Morris. He was perfectly described by Barney Fife: “I think he’s a nut!” His first appearance, however, came late in season three, in the 94th episode of the show!
