Does anyone notice how Matlock has connections to Mayberry(TAGS)? It's obvious, first Aaron Rubin was a producer on Matlock and there were a few characters from TAGS on the show. Don Knotts, who played Les Calhoun and I think he wore a similar suit to that of Barney Fife's. Second, Aneta Corsaut, who was Helen Crump on TAGs, portrayed a judge. Third, Betty Lynn was on 2 episodes as a secretary to Ben. Fourth, Jack Dodson was a character on the episode, "The Cult." Lastly, Ron Howard's mother Jean Howard was on there as well.
