It looked to me like he was unloading those guns but I wasn't 100% positive. Thank you for clarifying it! I kinda had the feeling that he didn't really want them shooting at each other!
This show raised me on virtues of honesty, kindness and compassion. I held them as my guiding star and still do. Looking around this sorrowful world in October of 2020 I’m praying these virtues take our world by storm. I worry for us. I do.
Right there with you, along with all the Saturday morning shows and The Lone Ranger. Hopefully, with your prayers and mine, this country will open its eyes and heart to Jesus and repent of sin and get saved. Otherwise, time is running out.
Anybody who thinks Andy Taylor was a dumb hick never saw this scene. Changing from a count of ten to a count of three, checking the guns to make sure they both "have an equal chance", the line about the impact of the blast taking care of the extra seven steps, all simultaneously scaring the feuders into calling it off while making them think he *wants* them to shoot each other...this is a guy who's not only brilliant, but can think on his feet.
Just applied psychology. A good lawman, especially one who knows his community and the people in it, will use that far more than he will ever use a gun or a nightstick.
This is one of the only episodes where Andy actually had a functional revolver on his hip Or in his hand... and LOADED (though its probably just one bullet) Wouldn't surprise me if that was Barney's gun
That was precious!Arthur C Honeycutt ,looks just like he stepped out of a John Wayne movie. That seems like that is the 1st time that I have seen sheriff Taylor actually fire his service revolver or even carried one for that matter
Interesting (to me anyway) that both people to play Uncle Jesse in two Gy Waldron creations had bit parts in "The Andy Griffith Show." Arthur Hunnicutt - Jedediah in this clip - played Jesse Haag in "Moonrunners" ("Moonrunners" set the stage for the other Gy Waldron creation "The Dukes Of Hazzard") and Denver Pyle - of whom played Jesse Duke, of course - was Briscoe Darling.
Wakefield was played by the great Arthur Hunnicutt. He appeared on many TV programs in the early 1960's, most memorably in an episode of "The Twilight Zone" called "The Hunt."
Yes, him and his hound dog I think. The devil tried to trick him into going into the wrong place. Seemed like they both drowned after the guy jumped in the creek to save his drowning dog who in turn was chasing after a rabbit or something
He also was on a episode of Perry Mason. He shot a tree limb out of a tree. The girl standing beside him Said, you shouldn't have done that . Arthur said, " There is no law that says how a man can pick his Oranges "
My great uncle was that kind of small town sheriff in Florida. Only wore a gun when he needed it. And he didn't need it on Saturday nights when his brother rode his horse through town shootin' his six shooters off!
My first video VGG video was the "Harley Davidson Revival" in 2018. Four hard-working years later and he's making over one million fans happy every week. God Bless Derek.
Now I'm from Kentucky, and don't nobody do feudin' like we do in the Bluegrass state, but let me tell you one thing now boys, I DO NOT want to get into a duel with double barrel shotguns at 20 paces, no sir. That's gonna get bloody. 3 paces? Well, that's just crazy. At that distance, knifin' and eye gougin' is more the rule of the day.
@@firemangan2731 ered is full of crap. Fueding here is getting your girlfriends drunk enough to do your fighting for you. Hair pulling and name calling.
Just like how you can't have Road Rage in a small town.. Everyone knows where you live. Everyone knows where your mother lives. Everyone knows your Grandad......
Plenty of fighting that goes on in small towns but I understand what you're saying. Hard to get away with calling someone a son of a bitch when you're both going to the only grocery store in town. Or both go to the same bank. Or see each other at the gas station.
I caught a few moments of the Andy Griffith Show, A Feud is a Feud. (It’s in my book, Mayberry at Arms.) This time I noticed that when the face off occurred, Mr. Carter arrives from the right, and Mr. Wakefield is on the left. Both are holding double barrel shotguns. Wakefield’s SXS is a sidelock shotgun. Carter’s SXS is the more common boxlock. Andy goes to check the feudee’s arms, turns his back to both and proceeds to unload both shotguns. He then hands each back a shotgun, but neither got the shotgun back that they arrived with!
He was also in the Twilight Zone. He played a fellow who died hunting raccoons. He didn’t know that he was dead and followed a road with his dead dog until they eventually found the entrance to heaven. One of my favorite episodes.
