Floyd Lawson

He was played by Howard McNear. Floyd Lawson is the barber in Mayberry. He has barbered for over 30 years and has learned some stuff about love apparently! He has a wife named Melba (never sawn on the show) and TWO sons named Randall (seen in one episode called "Those Gossipen' Men", and Norman never seen on TAGS who plays Baseball, some once thought that Norman played the saxophone but if you listen carefully in the episode "Those Gossiping Men", you'll see Floyd says "You hear that Randall" it actually sounds like "Wendall" and he has a nephew Warren Ferguson (who replaces Barney as deputy when Don Knotts quits the roll and is seen numerous times about a dozen times.) His barbershop is where the Mayberry gang plays checkers and loaf around and talk and is the only barber in Mayberry. He has always dreamed of having a Two Chair shop. Floyd is a funny character who at times misunderstands things and doesnt focus on what the other chararcters are trying to get at and talks about another subject of the opposite meaning.
