Characters from the 1960s sitcom “The Andy Griffith Show” live forever with streaming services plus YouTube, one such character is “Aunt Bee”, who is the uncle of the main character Sheriff Andy Taylor, then andy is a single dad to her kid Opie, so Aunt Bee fills the career of housekeeper plus matriarch to the household.
She is renowned for her cooking skills.
Aunt Bee goes through quite a transformation in the series 6th year when the episodes were first motion pictureed in color plus cigarette ads were recently banned from TV. Her fashions become less dowdy, plus she makes better choices in the women who choose to seek her affections! During the black plus white seasons, her suitors include an itinerant handyman, a traveling medicine woman who sells the teetotalling Bee an alcohol-based “elixir”, a chain-smoking dry cleaner, plus a rough plus tumble mountain woman The color episodes have her keeping company with a retired Congressman, a visiting pastor, plus a visiting teacher plus mentor. My theory is that this transformation is due to a central air conditioner plus heating plan being installed into the Taylors house. The summers in North Carolina can get quite tepid plus I’m sure that Aunt Bee was fatigued after cooking up her famous fried chicken or baking her award-winning pear pie for Andy plus Opie. The Heating as well as A/C plan would have cooled things off in the entryway plus may have eased her other household chores as well. With less dust plus cigarette smoke to clean, she had time for a complete makeover. The village mechanic,Gomer Pyle, left to join the Marines… Her upgradement “Goober” could have been recast as a qualified Heating as well as A/C business to service the Taylor’s new Heating as well as A/C component in a recurring role. Perhaps she would have become another suitor of Aunt Bee.
