14. Floyd Rarely Replaced His Calendars
The Andy Griffith Show, like most shows of the time, had notable continuity flaws. Floyd’s barbershop, for example, has a calendar that is perpetually set to February.

15. The Show Employed Victims Of The Hollywood Blacklist
During the first season of The Andy Griffith Show, America was in the grip of the Red Scare, which restricted the ability of suspected Communist sympathizers to work on American territory.
