Continuity mistake: At the end, when Aunt Bee serves dessert her spoon and napkin are on the table, but in the next closeup of just Andy and Opie her spoon and napkin have vanished, then when Bee's seated she removes her napkin and her own dessert and spoon should still be on the table, but in the closeups of Andy and Opie they're not.
The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
1 continuity mistake in The Tape Recorder - chronological order
Starring: Ron Howard, Don Knotts, Andy Griffith, Frances Bavier
The Taylors in Hollywood - S6-E8
Revealing mistake: While Andy, Aunt Bee, and Opie are at the Hollywood studio watching a scene being filmed, when Andy mistakenly stands up and interrupts the filming we can see the wall and shelves behind the director, and it should look familiar because it's the wall and shelves from Floyd's shop in Mayberry.
Opie's Group - S8-E9
Andy: Clara, sometimes a parent can't see what he should do, and sometimes it takes a person from the outside to show him. And I'd like to thank you.
Clara: Groovy.
My Fair Ernest T. Bass - S4-E17
Trivia: At different points during this episode both Barney and Andy make the exact same comment, "If you wrote this into a play nobody'd believe it." This episode is based on My Fair Lady, which in turn is based on Pygmalion.

Answer: In S3 x E11 Convicts-at-Large, there is a character named Big Maude Tyler, who is the leader of three female escaped convicts. Andy listens to the radio as the news announcer says that Big Maude's aliases include Clarice or Annabelle Tyler and also one amusingly named Ralph Henderson.
