Who is Goober on the Andy Griffith show?
He was a borderline mental retard that also co-appeared as an occasional guest character in Gomer Pyle. I vaguely recall one episode where Opie pulled some sort of prank on Goober (never really addressed as an adult, not Mr. so and so) and this involved a walkie-talkie to simulate a Talking Dog, Opie was reprimanded for this prank, daddy took back the Walkie-Talkie at least for a time. It was never really stated the man was mentally retarded, but he surely acted like one, even dumber than the Marine recruit. They may have been ( in fiction) related.
