THE BOYS:
Not alot can be said about the Darling boys that hasn’t been said already. You’ve got the quiet one, the quiet one, the quiet one, and the quiet one.
Aside from their singin’ the boys only talk once and this is in "The Darling’s Are Coming."
The Boys are terrible cooks. Briscoe testifies to this in "Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee."
Influences: Sherriff Andy Taylor - Always was such a good influence on me and my boys
...And who could forget ole Jim Lindsey and Bobby Fleet- and his band with a beat!

FAMOUS BRISCOE FACTS:
Briscoe Darling is the head of the Darling family and a widower.
Briscoe married at the age of thirty; his wife was seventeen, and this was her second marriage.
Briscoe is the father of Charlene Darling and The Boys (Doug, Rodney, Dean, & Mitch). But don’t think the boys are the only musicians, Briscoe plays a mean jug.
One of Briscoe’s favorite stops in town is The David Mendlebright Memorial. (He stops here to fill up the truck’s radiator)
Briscoe’s a sensible man. On the matter of how to deal with Ernest T. Bass, he replies "Thought about killin’ him. Hated to go that far"
He had a one time crush on Aunt Bee. Although he moves pretty fast for Aunt Bee, he say’s he’ll "put on my square wheels so things won’t get to roling too fast."
