The Andy Griffith Show (Season 2, Episode 15) - Bailey's Bad Boy. Originally aired on CBS-TV on January 15, 1962.
Even when you can see the moral of the story miles away -self-reliance- it's still goes down nice and smooth like homemade strawberry ice cream on Andy's front porch on a hot summer day.
Collier County, FL couple subject to harassment by Bank of America over nonexistent mortgage contract gets court to foreclose on Bank of America branch, complete with Sheriff Dept. deputies to enforce order.
Just the latest example of the sweet justice of the Goose:Gander maxim.
Meanwhile, below, our old friends Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife of Mayberry get their point across in another matter involving a foreclosure, in this case, for the amount of $780, on account of a missed payment of $52.50 due to Mayberry's number one hard-ass businessman, Ben Weaver, the man in town who not only has all the money in town, but as Andy dryly notes, "all the meanness, too."

The Tennessee National Guard drove their Army tanks right past our apt. complex at night on their way downtown as everyone in our neighborhood, young and old, watched quietly from the sidewalk, utterly transfixed, almost breathless, unsure of what the next day would bring.
Dr. King Is Slain By Sniper headline in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, April 6, 1968. Because I was a very precocious kid and early reader, and was easily bored with kids books, just as Andy Griffith's hugely-popular TV show helped instill in me a certain moral compass about the right way you treat people, The Memphis Commercial Appeal was the newspaper that helped me learn to read and make sense of the wider world beyond the Mississippi River's banks. http://www.commercialappeal.com/
