A spin-off of The Andy Griffith Show, Mayberry R.F.D. became successful in its own right. The show aired from 1969 through 1971 and was consistently in the top 15 of the Nielsen ratings. Its demise was caused by the sudden elimination of rural-oriented series by CBS in 1971 in order to make room for more ""realistic"" fare. The show's popularity owed much to the casting; George Lindsey (playing Goober Pyle), Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague), Paul Hartman (Emmett Clark), Ken Berry (Sam Jones), and others who moved seamlessly from The Andy Griffith Show to the new series. Episode-by-episode, this is the definitive reference to Mayberry R.F.D. Each entry provides episode title, writer, director, regular and guest cast, and numerous other facts about it. Capsule biographies of guest stars are given within the entry for the initial episode in which they worked, while more detailed biographies of the writers, directors, and major stars follow the episode guide.

It is not only a bio of Jasmine but also it's a bio of me (Dale).

Jasmine Nicole Robinson was born July 29, 1994 at 11: 31AM. She weighed 1lb. 5oz. and stayed at Georgetown for 12 months and Hospital for Sick Children for 2 months. She fought blood infections and having 60% of her intestines removed because of NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis). Through the grace of God she survived every battle and won. The first part of the book (Jasmine) are individual poems that are read separately. The other part of the book (A Year at Georgetown) are autobiographical and are read together. I did this book for my daughter (Jasmine) to remember me by when I am no longer around. I wanted the world to know our happiness and joy we shared together. A father and daughter's journey together.

The book is a fun book for children and adults alike to enjoy. "Playgound Beyond" was inspired by working in a museum as a security guard. I got a chance to see all the museum exhibits and fell in Love with all of the art coming through the door. It started in 2000 when the Salvador Dali exhibit was at the Hirshhorn museum and sculpture garden. I read how surrealist artist detach their minds from creating art by using their minds from creating art by using their subconscious minds. I thought to use that technique in writing my poetry. The exhibition HC Westermann that can to the Hirshhorn museum in 2002 started to influence my way of thinking as well. I love how the existential movement was so in tune with the world around them and thought how I can use that technique in writing my poetry. But the one that got me actively writing in a surreal existential matter was a French surrealist painter by the name of Yves Tanguy. He taught me to write as though you were writing beneath your direct thoughts without effort being applied into thinking. It helped me to relax more so my thoughts come easy to write. I wrote my first thirteen poems before I had a writers block. It took me three years before I picked it back up and finished my book in 2005. Whimsical thinking also helped in my writing by being more relaxed, so I introduced that in my writing. So have some fun and enjoy my work.
