The Darlings - Andy Griffith Show

Description

[@gregatkinson7276]

"The Dillards" were known to be one of the best Bluegrass bands ever....

[@marianmoser-otto3590]

The episodes with the Darlings are my favorites.

[@lonecrapshooter67]

They should a got their own series

[@tffan1029]

The only episode involving the Darlings that is actually good, in my opinion, is Mountain Wedding. That episode doesn't have Briscoe jumping to conclusions like an idiot, ignoring what's right in front of his face, Charlene being lovey dovey towards Andy (the least of my problems), and ignoring anything that someone says to him about something (like Andy telling him so many times that he doesn't want to be with Charlene, or that he doesn't want to marry Charlene after she divorced her first husband, Aunt Bee telling him that she wasn't trying to impress him with her household manners, and doesn't want to marry him, or Andy telling him NO! about Opie marrying Charlene and Dud's less than a year old daughter (Yeah, you heard me. I've heard of different cultures and customs, but a ten year old boy marrying a less than a year old baby girl sounds ridiculous)). And the best part is that Briscoe gets a taste of his own medicine from Ernest T Bass wanting to marry Charlene. By that, I mean that Briscoe deals with someone who won't listen to him, just like how Andy, in the previous episode that they showed up, had to deal with Briscoe not listening to him about Charlene. It's legit the only episode that I actually like the Darlings. Every Darlings episode before and after, well.....

[@adriantomlin2902]

Lol!! My wife says they frustrate her. She likes The Andy Griffith Show though! Hanha!!

[@tnelson4593]

Charleen Darling. Maggie Peterson had a wonderful singing voice. I seen the Darlings years ago I believe on the Merv Griffin show. Maggie Anderson also performed very good voice. RIP Maggie

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

One of the best shows on TV when I was a kid!

[@libertygiveme1987]

Rhonda - As far as I'm concerned, one of the BEST SHOWS EVER!!!!

[@ericprice8879]

"We gotta finish before that clerking fellow returns". 😅 I just love the episodes when the Darlings were present. 🤠

[@mizzyroro]

"Dawg gone sheriff, you sure can render!" The way they used words in an unrecognised way is thrilling.

[@doreenardourel7921]

I also loved the shows where the Darling were on! I could listen to them all day!!!

[@alisonoverton]

"Jest jump in whar ya can an' hold on!" :)

[@genesistaylor1065]

[@tinaborich4313]

YEEEEEHAW

[@starey1]

"A- ONE AN' A- TWO AN' A-WAY WE GO!"

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

My Mom played guitar, her brother played Banjo, I remember them singing this song as a kid!

[@willdrucker4291]

FUN FACT:…Andy Griffith was a very good guitar player and was “rendering” right along with The Dillards on these songs..

[@jamesha175]

that one makes me cry

[@ianlosz5338]

This was the line before every song suggestion on every episode they were in.

[@234dilligaf]

LOVE that hillbilly music! God bless the south!

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Amen! Grew up there for a few years! My Mom played guitar, Uncle played the Banjo! Loved how I grew up!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

WE THANK Ye!

[@steelcantuna]

The invasion from the north, south of Texas, north east & west coast is too much. Texas should have remained independent.

[@genericwhitemale1114]

@@steelcantuna Texas Nationalist Movement is the way to go. Texas should be governed by Texans. It's about time we go back to our roots as a country.

[@tommypetraglia4688]

That's Bluegrass my Darlin'

[@h.e.s.5248]

I just love the Darlings. My favorite song was "Dooley."

[@great-ok-good]

That’s a good one but my fave is ‘Ebo Walker’….until I “hang on” and learn a bit more!

[@utbr01]

The Darling family episodes were ALWAYS the funnest. Knew there was gonna be sum goooood sangin' and picking

[@WornoutRNPARAMEDIC]

One of the very best on TV ever. Still watch the reruns, especially the episodes and/or with the rock thrower Ernest T. Bass.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

You ain't heard the last..................

[@christianne3098]

Truth!!!!!

[@lauriedavis5946]

❤’d this show all my life (lol lonng time) but i have never warmed up to Ernest. i don’t know bc i still watch his episodes & even laugh *BUT* always in the back of my mind, something ab him bugs me!? lol thought maybe since he’s your big ol’ hero you might help me figure this out? What annoys me most is that i should ADORE Mr Bass, sort of rude & crude is my kind of humor! For real it truly _IS_ frustrating! i mean, i want to know what i’m missing!😢 _siiiigh_ tried every which way but couldn’t find a sentence to fit but also wanted to say _why don’t you just_ _MARRY HIM?!?_ 😂 Funny thing to say when i was a kid. i feel like you’re judging me. So _HOW OLD_ are you anyway?! lol? 😬

[@d.w.591]

This is a VERY GOOD episode of The Andy Griffith Show back in the early 1960's !

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Andy Griffith was a favorite of mine while I grew up!

[@brownliquor2452]

I always loved that song "Slimy River Bottom".😍😍😍😍

[@amyg.1011]

That one always makes me cry.

[@kevinfay4062]

This one is actually "Doug's Tune." A great banjo tune.

[@russellfields375]

[@juliemitchell3794]

[@agoraphobicadam1171]

That Song Makes Me Cry.

[@dianemitchell4595]

Love this music.and Andy.

[@nathanhicks2000]

Nostalgic! for me because of my grandfather i knew most of the songs before i ever watched a episode.

[@kristinetompkins4261]

Only bluegrass I ever heard growing up in Wisconsin.

[@davidsnyder9661]

How could you not like bluegrass

[@adriantomlin2902]

That tears it?! I'll raise my voice, I'll raise hogs?! I'll raise any durn thing I wanna?! Lol!! Loved oh Briscoe!!

[@briscoedarling3237]

[@lewiemcneely9143]

That was GOOD STUFF!

[@libertygiveme1987]

Lewie - ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[@AudioAndroid]

[@jeffadair646]

Fun fact. Denver Pyle, The elder gent playing the jug, is aka Uncle Jessie from The Dukes of Hazzard.

[@jeffscott8323]

RIP Denver's Pyle

[@bigal8218]

JEFF SCOTT DENVER PYLE I REMEMBER FROM GRIZZLY ADAMS AS MAD JACK THEN DUKES OF HAZZARD UNCLE JESSIE R I P DENVER PYLE THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES PEACE

[@johnyoung9874]

Denver Pile was a real life Jed Clampet . He took the money he made on tv shows and bought up oil wells .

[@chevylandt.v]

"I ain't your uncle Jesse." Favorite saying from uncle Jesse aa well as " jump in and hang on."

[@tedlee2861]

He's heck on that jug. Ain't he 😂👈

[@richardwillmarth5689]

She is a great addition to the Dillards. I think she is so cute.

[@malcolmburns7320]

They finally took the loud jugging out because it was overshadowing the Dillards.

[@briscoedarling3237]

Worst mistake ever was made….

[@beckybarnes1059]

The Dillard's are the best 💜

[@thecowboy6617]

Denver Pyle was on the rifleman ( fun fact)

[@dmbirkeland]

He was in a few "Perry Mason " episodes as well.

[@Robard65]

He was Uncle Jesse Duke in the Dukes of Hazard.

[@jimmyz2098]

Denver Pyle was on everything worth showing on TV. He was on the Lone Ranger. Dukes. Grizzly Adams. Perry Mason. The Waltons. Andy Griffith. Gunsmoke. On. And on. And on. He was awesome.

[@quick-silver860]

"Just jump in and hang on!"

[@erictate4943]

How come the song was cut out on the DVD of Andy Griffith Show the complete series

[@jamespeddycord4705]

Not real sure why Andy avoided Charlene's advances. Guess he was afraid of those mountain wild cats. I always thought there was something about her that was just a bit hot. I think it's her singing on.. there is a time.

[@user-pl2yt1qf6o]

I doubt there is a set of lips around with that much versatility

[@jamiethomas5782]

And ah one and ah two!!!

[@nf2885]

👍👍😊

[@williamharvey4788]

The Darlings is what makes the show of course i still like andy though and Barney the Darlings are great museiuens aren't they.

[@bill99208]

Charlene (Maggie Peterson) sure could render! Wonder what Dud would be saying?

[@jackcrane7853]

BEST version of A SALTY DOG I have ever heard. Maggie was CUTER THAN DEBBIE HARRY!!

[@quick-silver860]

Kids growing up now will think computers make the best music.

[@foxypeppermint5175]

Does anyone know the name of this first song they were playing ??

[@H.E.LThrows]

season 3, episode 25

[@martinmahern7268]

Andy should have gone for Charlene. Prettier and much sweeter than old lady Crump.

[@sandrasillery4493]

He couldn't live with the snoring. LOL

[@briscoedarling3237]

And she could cook pert near as good as her Ma…..

[@martinmahern7268]

I liked Ellie, the lady druggist too, but I read that she never felt comfortable in that role and didn't think she did a good job. I thought she did great.

[@martinmahern7268]

Pretty exciting that Briscoe Darling himself responded to my comment! How are the boys?

[@johnguilfoil7218]

I never understood why Andy didn't get him some
