Okay, so you know MANHUNT? What if that, but there was a dog? Is that... is that anything? Do you like that? No? Okay, well, how about 22 minutes of adults misunderstanding each other in the dumbest ways possible? That do anything for you? Still no?

In this episode we describe a drug-addicted cartoon rabbit, and it's nowhere near the most upsetting thing that comes up.It's Season 5, Episode 4, "The Education of Ernest T. Bass."Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

(The two annoying guys are not us, for the record)Okay, you know how your relatives are kind of annoying to be around? Wouldn't it be great to spend some TV time with very realistically annoying people? No?Well, too bad, because that's what's happening, this is the Andy Griffith Show!Covers AG Season 5, Ep 3 "Family Visit" and Episode 5 "Aunt Bee's Romance"Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

Okay so look in this episode we thought we'd have fun with the concept of MILF Manor but we absolutely do NOT have fun with the concept of MILF Manor.We do have a lot of fun with Barney Fife hanging in a closet though, so there's that.We return to Mayberry with Season 5, Episode 1 "Opie Loves Helen" and Episode 2, "Barney's Physical"Check out Flaming Nose TV Blog: http://flamingnose.blogspot.com/Check out Surf Kings of Gotham: https://anchor.fm/kyle4788Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

It's the final PARENTAL CONTROL and we brought back Marty's sister Mickey to talk about the TV show which inspired her name - Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.We cover two episodes of the family-themed Western show. Marty gets mad at the past (like always), Mickey has conflicting feelings about her namesake, and Dan introduces us to a man with a "striking" history.

Okay look let me tell you up front: This episode spends a LOT of time talking about Marty's scrotum. And then it spends even more time talking about the Dukes of Hazzard. You can decide which is more unpleasant.It's the Duke boys and their new friend Mason Dixon, P.I. No... no that can't be right. They seriously named the guy "Mason Dixon?" Okay that's not a good start.UPDATE: The narrator of Dukes of Hazzard is Waylon Jennings, not Merle Haggard like we keep saying. But Merle Haggard is a lot funnier to say?Trae Crowder the Liberal Redneck on BLM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l71Pvvnp3oEFollow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

Our exploration of failed spinoffs continues as we look into a Golden Girls spinoff that actually did make it to the air... kind of!Behold the shockingly mean sitcom EMPTY NEST, which is sort of a spinoff of Golden Girls but not really because THAT pilot was totally different and also sucked, but in a totally different way than how this show sucks. Also Full house is involved and Hollywood legend Rita Moreno is deeply disrespected.

Adam's back to tell us about a show his Dad loves and his mom hates - 60's Western THE BIG VALLEY.

Our trip through TV Shows that never were continues, as we briefly step into the seedy criminal monster mash of SUPERNATURAL: BLOODLINES, a proposed spinoff of the CW hit that launched a million gross fanfics.Using the very original idea of a turf war between monsters, Bloodlines imagines a Chicago where rich shapeshifters feud with handsome werewolves, and also a Chicago where Sam and Dean Wichester just sorta... stop in for lunch.Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

Welcome to our new NEW miniseries, Backdoor Lovers, where we explore episodes of shows that were meant to create new shows... but didn't.We explore the Charlie's Angels episode TONI'S BOYS, an attempt at setting up a "Charlie's Angels but with boys!" show that no one could possibly have wanted. Thrill as a man struggles to understand what a strip club is, cheer at an emotionally available Mafioso, and be amazed at what a boy can do with a horse and a rope.BACKDOOR LOVERS!Music by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyFollow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

We start our brand-new miniseries, Parental Control, and we have a special guest: Annie "Dan's older sister no matter what the calendar says" Ludwig!We talk about the ultimate Dad sci-fi - Stargate SG-1. We debate the hotness of James Spader, analyze Marty's Tweeting style, and ponder how it's possible to travel to infinite universes when you have the brain capacity of a small fish.Music by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyFollow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

UNLOCKED PATREON BONUS:This hurt, this hurt a lot. It hurt so much we brought in Dan's brother Max Ludwig to share the pain. Max searches for the secret of the runes, Marty channels his energico and Dan breaks down halfway.Look, this one sucked, okay, we hate you for making us watch this. Fuck Dana Carvey.

It's the Season Finale and we're going back to the seemingly endless well of Andy Griffith TV Movies where he plays an unrepentant psychopath!This time around it's Murder in Coweta County, a tense game of cat-and-mouse between Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash, only it's really more like cat-and-guy-getting-his-absolute-shit-wrecked-by-Johnny-Cash-the-whole-movie.Music by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyFollow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

Look, I don't know what this episode title means either but I do know this THIS episode is agonizing for Marty and Dan.Turns out, there's a good reason why TV seasons aren't 32 episodes long anymore, and that's because you run out of plots REAL FAST. These episodes aren't technically reruns, but pretty darn close. Somehow, though, the Andy Griffith Show finds new ways to disappoint us.It's Andy Griffith Season 4, Epis- you know what, who cares?Marty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theluddsSUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyFollow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com

There are many ways to learn a new language, but only one that will let you do what Marty does to Dan in this episode. We also learn the greatest nicknames of all time, and eventually we talk about the Woo Girls of the Andy Griffith Show.It's Season 4, Episode 27 "The Fun Girls"To join Toucan, go to https://jointoucan.com/ Marty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theluddsSUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/breakingmayberryMusic by Max Ludwig: twitter.com/sleeptalkyFollow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter: twitter.com/BreakMayberry,Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/383110240030195/or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com
