The Relationship Between Andy and Barney Changed
In the series’ first few episodes, Andy and Barney are revealed to be cousins. The initial idea was to make jokes about the southern relationships that stereotypically helped people get small-town government jobs. After season one, however, that backstory was dropped. Andy and Barney became childhood friends instead.

The Mysterious “Mister Schwamp”
“Mister Schwamp” occasionally appears in random episodes. He is a middle-aged man who has dark hair, which appears to be a toupee. Usually, he is spotted in crowd scenes or taking a seat on a park bench. Andy or Barney acknowledges him by saying, “Hello, Mister Schwamp,” and he nods and smiles. To this day, no one knows who portrayed Mr. Schwamp.
