[edit] Overview

Sam lives in the fictional community of Mayberry, North Carolina. He is a farmer, thus lives outside of town. He does not appear in The Andy Griffith Show until the final season when he is elected to the town council.

Aunt Bee moves in with Sam and his young son following Sheriff Andy Taylor's marriage to Helen Crump. Aunt Bee stays with Sam through the beginning of the Mayberry R.F.D. series, but eventually she moves away and is replaced by Cousin Alice (Alice Ghostley).
