Aquarium on Andy Griffith

I love Andy Griffith. I know it can be corny and my wife roles her eyes at me and smirks when I turn it on. but it gives me a glimps of simpler time and what I wouldn't give to live in mayberry (good ol hometown usa).

Episode 11 of season 7 Howard catches "old sam" a large carp and donates him to the museum and the town is disheartened that there legacy is no longer in tupper pond. But they had very good reason to worry about the aquarium old sam was in. take a look at this pic.

Stocklist of the first tank they show is.

Exadons
Fancy gold fish
Platies
Angelfish
Piranha ( I think Rhom but I'm not really into piranhas so not sure)

old sam was about 24" and in a 55 gallon.


I am surprised this tank made it through filming. The one good thing about modern age is fish keeping sure has gotten better. My wife really rolled her eyes when I pointed this out. I am the biggest dork lol.

yep this tank is from the 60's took the picture from my TV the aquariums are all old school some of the tanks have metal frames with two bolts in each corner.

I remember the episode a long time ago, but I don't generally watch Andy when it went to color. It just lost too much with Barney and Gomer leaving.

I completely agree 100% Barney was the best. I don't care for the color episodes as much either it losses something. Love it when Barney used to carry the one bullet in his shirt pocket and ask if it was ok to put it in the gun, always be the end of the show had an accidental discharge into the floor.

Haha that show is crazy how it's still so popular with just reruns. This coming generation will be watching like reruns of Jersey shore lol.

Oh man I hope not! I don't think I have watched one episode of that. I love the old shows even when I was a kid on Saturday mornings I watched reruns of leave it to beaver, honeymooners, and little rascals.
