LONG RGF Bonus: How Norman Fell aka Mr. Roper knew not to take part in a spin off series, how Don Knotts aka Mr. Furley personally shopped for his own wardrobe and how Pennsylvania hosts an annual Mrs. Roper Day that actually draws huge crowds. How Dave and his Puppet @adventureswithdavid are the ventriloquist team to watch, how Matt from @vintagevideobasement decorated his basement to look like the year 1972 and how life here can't be so bad when you get to do all of the above.
