Do You Remember ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ Fun Girls, Skippy and Daphne?

Most characters on The Andy Griffith Show were either wholesome to the core or comically wayward (think boozy Otis Campbell and mountain man Ernest T. Bass). However, in the sixth episode of the show’s third season, the show got a dose of “here for the good times” with the introduction of Daphne and Skippy, also known as “The Fun Girls” of Mount Pilot.

Played with vigor by Martin Kane actress Jean Carson (Daphne) and The Outlaw Josie Wales star Joyce Jameson (Skippy), the bombshell blondes got their collective nickname from Barney Fife’s disdainful gal Thelma Lou, who considered them a bane of her existence.
