Sitting here watching The Andy Griffith Show, because I can’t find the remote, and who comes into the courthouse riding a cow? An old hero of mine, Otis Campbell, the unabashed town Drunkard of Mayberry.

Watching Otis as a child so enthralled me that I knew that my life's mission was to become a drunk.

Another great thing about Otis was he never ratted out his moonshiner. No matter what trickery Andy and Barney brought to bear, he kept his mouth shut.

I belive the most wonderful thing about Otis is that despite living in a small, quit, church-going town he is allowed to drink as much as he pleases. You never heard anyone try to talk him into sobering up. They just let him sleep it off and in the morning Aunt Bea would bring him breakfast.

I liked Aunt Bea. She made some damn good looking food. Those pies, mmm mmm.

I like to think that whatever chicanery Andy and Barney brought to bear upon Saint Otis was more about (A and B) wanting to know exactly what it was that made Otis so blissful. And Aunt Bea so woosy...
And then that there was that crazy ol' Rafe Hollister! And those Darling family folk...Remember Barney's cool new car episode? Ah, youth.

Wasn't there an episode where Aunt Bea's church group hosted some snake oil salesman who got them all hammered on moonshine?

i think i know what you're talking about. the guy promised a cure for all lifes ailments or some shit and told them it was medicine, but andy ended up busting him because it was just liquor and these women didn't know the difference. anyhow, quack or not, i agree, it is the cure to all lifes ailments, except cirhosis of the liver.

Anybody know the Mojo Nixon song "Take me to your leader'? Its about aliens landing and asking to be taken to our leader, or course. So Mojo brings them down to Mayberry, to see our leader, Otis Campbell.

O-T-I-S, Otis is the very best!
