Why Did They Never Do A "Very Special Episode" About Aunt Bee

and her obvious eating disorder.

And don't say sitcoms didn't do "special episodes" back then because they did. Ann Sothern had one about the American Indians and Donna Reed had one about Jeff's friend being addicted (he stole Dr Stone's prescription pad).

Weren’t there 2 Special Episodes? Her inability to make edible pickles and her in inability to orgasm with the butcher?

Water cooler talk for months that swept the nation.

Aunt Bee and her friend Clara were very close.

Aunt Bee went off her psych meds, hit the bottle hard, then slashed Barney’s tires and molested Helen Crump.

My family ate a lot of pickles after that episode r1.

No, the pickle episode wasn't "special" because Aunt Bee never learned her pickles tasted like ass.

I know you gays think that is a GOOD thing but it ain't.

Aunt Bee was NOT lesbonic in any sense. She clearly loved men. She worked in the back room of the bakery where Millie also worked. She was billed as "mounds of magnificent mama" ""

Ann Sothern should've had a special episode called "Standing behind things does not make you thin."

She asked for her own very special episode after the one where Gomer Pyle came out to the guys in the barber shop and Howard Sprague fainted.

There was an episode about her "feminine problem" called "What's That Smell?," but it's been removed from the syndication package.

Aunt Bee was actually a lush. She was a klepto who stole from everyone in order to afford her ' Indian Elixir' containing 90 proof moonshine which she purchased from the nefarious Colonel Harvey.

Because Frances Bavier’s contract would not permit any reference to her weight.
