Andy Was Originally Meant To Be Funny
In the show’s original concept, Andy was the resident comic. His character could be described as the Will Rogers-type who commented and made jokes of the other characters on the show. However, one episode into filming, he immediately knew that Barney would be perfect as the resident “funny man” who paired up with his straight man. Andy realized this when he watched Don Knotts perform.

Floyd’s Calendar
If you look closely at the calendar on the wall of Floyd’s barber shop, you will notice that it is on February every single time. We’re not sure whether this was an oversight or if the show’s producers and directors chose that detail for some reason. Whatever the case may be, in Floyd’s barbershop, it’s always February. It’s as if they knew that the show would end up becoming a timeless classic.
