There were an awful lot of single women on that show, and they all owned their own houses! Thelma Lou was a catch, but old Barney would rather live at the Y than get hitched and move into a house free and clear?
But all kidding aside, one of my favorite shows of all-time.
Oh yeah, if Aunt Bee wasn't a dyke, then I don't know who is.
Helen Crump and Thelma Lou each had their own house, but whenever Andy and Barney wanted to get "intimate" with them they'd go on a double date and drive out to the lake (illegally using the town owned police car). If Andy went to the lake with Helen alone, it seems Barney always stalked him out there.
And Aunt Bee and Sarah....how obvious can you get?
