It just dawned on me why Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet...

....nobody was married.

Here are the single people that come to mind: Andy, Barney, Aunt Bea, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Ernest T. Bass, the Darlin family, Helen, Thelma, Lou, Clara, just to name a few.

In fact, the only one married was Otis...
