the darlings made their first appearance on "the andy griffith show" in episode #88, "the darlings are coming". in their second appearance, episode #94, "mountain wedding", andy and barney must pay a visit to the darlings' home to rid the family of ernest t. bass, a pesky neighbor with an affinity for rock throwing, who was intent on marrying briscoe's daughter charlene. andy asked briscoe if he and "the boys" couldn't take care of ernest themselves, to which briscoe laconically replied, "well, we thought about 'killing' him... kinda hated to go that far." their appearance on the show was always supplemented by a song (provided by bluegrass band the dillards, who played the darling boys), usually with andy accompanying them on guitar.
