Mr. Schwump first appeared on TAGS on 'My Fair Ernest T. Bass.' He was ideally cast as that special someone to sit on a bench or to just sit down generally. Just for the record, here is a list of the episodes that Mr. Schwump appeared: Episode 113: My Fair Ernest T. Bass Episode 133: The Education of Ernest T. Bass Episode 123: Fun Girls Episode 141: Otis Sues the County Episode 175: Otis the Artist Episode 203: Only a Rose Episode 210: Floyd's Barbershop Episode 240: Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting Episode 247: Sam For Town Council My source was 'Inside Mayberry:The Andy Griffith Show Handbook' by Dan Harrison and Bill Habeeb. Note: He also appeared in at least one episode of 'Gomer Pyle USMC.' It was the episode where Gomer was organizing Marine supplies by either animal, vegetable, or mineral. Jack Dodson spoke of Mr. Schwump on the TBS production of '30 Years of Andy Griffith: A Mayberry Reunion' in 1990. In addition to the well chronicled bad toupee remarks, he said Schwump had a close-up in which he was pouring root beer into a glass in the lodge. His hands were shaking like leaves on a tree. That would have put him in appearing in 'The Lodge' episode as well if they didn't delete his scene. ANDY: (Friendly) Mr. Schwump. MR. SCHWUMP: (Smiles, Nods).
