Dan and Marty bring a weird energy into one of the bleakest darkest episodes of TV we've ever seen, but it's okay because we talk about horses. Like, a lot.It's Season 5, Episode 18, "The Rehabilitation of Otis"

In this episode, the Andy Griffith writers create a situation so infuriating that it challenges the boys' moral stance on police brutality.Also, Marty ages 100 years in one sentence.It's Season 5, Episodes 16 and 17, "Goober Takes A Car Apart" and "Barney Fife, Realtor"

Magic is real in the Andy Griffith universe and no one seems to care that much about it! Also Dan nearly blows up his entire house! It's Season 5, Episode 14, "Three Wishes for Opie"THIS MONTH!

(The two annoying guys are not us, for the record)Okay, you know how your relatives are kind of annoying to be around?

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.

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
