What is your reaction to the interaction between Andy and Ellie ("Ellie Comes to Town")? Does either character gain the upper hand in this relationship?"Ellie Comes to Town" Season 1, Episode 4 Andy remains a bachelor for most of the series, but various women characters are introduced to tempt him. The first one is Ellie (Elinor Donahue), who arrives in Mayberry to stand in for her uncle, the local pharmacist. Ellie is a "modern girl," a stereotype well- known to the audience of 1960. Not only has she graduated from college; she has also been trained in a nontraditional field for that era's women: pharmacy. Andy is immediately attracted to her and she to him, but his attitude is split. One side of him likes the idea that a woman could have such a position (although he is upset by her insistence on following rules, which is not the way of Mayberry); another side of him wants to reduce her from a professional to a love interest, so he refers to her more than once as the "lady druggist." This episode does not have much plotting; it is clearly meant to set up a difficult romance between the sheriff and the pharmacist. However, it is a good introduction to the world of Mayberry. Note the use of background ("mood") music, which matches the stages in Andy and Ellie's incipient relationship.
