It’s perhaps a silly question, but it’s pretty much covered in the thread title.
Well, thanks for your time,

(“Wait a second…in the title of “CHiPS,” what did the ‘s’ stand for?”)
from www.maybery.com:
I believe that was his name.
Slight hijack:
In an inteview, Ron Howard (Opie) was talking about how his career after the Andy Griffith Show was taking a dump (before he did American Graffitti) and he was so desperate to earn money, he was seriously considering doing a porno film. The title was going to be, “Opie Gets Laid.”
…why do I remember trivia like this, but can’t remember where I left my car keys…
There are 640 persons with the first name Opie in the Social Security Death Index (almost all of the people in the SSDI died in the period 1962-2003). Opie T. Cates (1909-1987) is among them.
Any possibility it’s a male equivalent to Opal?
just thinking out loud here…
Hi Opie
Maybe it was his initials like “Original Post” Tayler!
You mean Mayberry had the SDMB?!? Holy cow, it was the ideal place to live!!
Opium
It’s just a rural name as far as I know. I had a great uncle named Opie.
