Best color episodes
In response to which color episodes are the best, I would have to say the ones that are in Black and White. No just kidding. Now I don't want to seem negative, but I'm not a fan of the ones with Warren. The best way to watch the color episodes is to goto the settings on your TV and the one that says color, turn it all the way down so that the show appears to be in B&W. Makes it alot more enjoyable.

Lessons
We can learn a lot from the Darlings' song titles: "Keep your money in your shoes and it won't get wet," "Never hit your grandmaw with a great big stick," and then there's Briscoe's comment, "Got time to breathe, got time for music."

Negative Comments
I absolutely love this site. I am a disabled physician with a lot of time on my hands and I get very depressed watching and reading the news all day with all of the negative information floating around. I know that I can always go to this board for uplifting messages and a short respite from our downer world. For that reason I have vowed never to post anything negative here but I must respond to the horrible comments about Tom Kessel. I love Tom and Ken's contributions to this site and I'm sure that Ken doesn't share the same feelings I just read about Tom. From all of the positive comments I have read about Tom I don't think that anybody does. As has been mentioned in the past, Tom is very ill and it's a real challenge for him to type out his interesting contributions. I feel that he is owed an apology for the negative comments and the character assassination. I know that we all have different ways of expressing ourselves but in no way did Tom deserve what was written about him. It's a free world and I will say no more but will reassess whether or not I will continue to visit one of the few positive sites on the internet that brightens my day.

Jackie Joseph
If anyone else has more info on Jackie Joseph, please share it. Thelma Lou (Janet) I'd thought maybe our friend Tom Kessel may have had some interesting information about Jackie but since I see he didn't I'll gladly share my brief personal experience. This year at Mayberry Days I met Jackie at the autograph session after Saturday morning's parade. I was surprised and thankful to find the line at her table quite short. Jackie was so gracious and warm. She was in no hurry to end our conversation. She was truly grateful for all the fans that stopped by to visit. We talked about her career, as has been mentioned, she has quite a resume outside of her TAGS appearance. Then we talked about her bringing "Romeena" to life. That's how she signed her photo, "Love and Hugs, Jackie Joseph, Romeena." She also drew a small heart on her photo. When I look at it again it reminds me of her sweet and bubbly personality. When I told her how much I enjoyed that episode and asked for her recollections of playing alongside Howard Morris she got a big smile on her face and her eyes had that familiar sparkle. She said they'd hit it off immediately and they'd had so much fun chasing each other around Mrs. Wiley's front yard. Then she said, "wasn't I lucky?" with such tenderness and sincerity that I knew she really meant it. I've been fortunate enough to meet a few TAGS alumni over the years. To a person they've all been humble, genuine and truly gracious. My meeting Jackie was no different. I'll always remember that conversation and how special she made those few minutes.

Going back to Mayberry
Hello digest devotees.I tried to send a message similar to this last night,but it would not go through.Hope it doesn't appear later.Anyway,what I want everyone to do is simple.If you could be beamed back to Mayberry for two weeks,what would you like to do while there?I will get this thing off the ground by telling you some things I would like to do while in Mayberry,in no particular order. *ride on patrol with Barney or Andy.Maybe I could blow the siren like Uncle Ollie.NOT! *try my luck at fishing for Old Sam as long as Howard Sprague wasn't frothing up the water. *be given the chance to say Geronimo and drink a root beer with the fellas at the lodge. *would like to see the expression on Clara's face as she showed me her numerous flower & pickle ribbons. *be invited to dine at the Taylor residence and partake of one of Aunt Bee's wholesome and delicious meals.Afterward,go sit on the front porch and peel an apple in one continous piece. *go to the Darling's shack and listen to some good old mountain music.Maybe Charlene would favor me by singing "There is a time".That particular tune tears me up something fierce,but I'd work my way through it.Would not be able to spend the night with them though,too much snoring and grunting going on. *go to Wally's Garage and watch Goober at his finest hour,rebuilding a carbureator in record time. *accompany the choir at All Souls Church as they sing good old 14A. *hang around Floyd's Barbershop for a spell.At this fine old institution,one could catch up on news,gossip,not to forget grunting and snoozing. *go to The Snappy Lunch and chomp on a chop. *shoot slingshots with Opie,but Heaven forbid,not into a tree! *watch Emmett coax an appliance into functioning properly again. Well I think you have the picture.Be so kind as to share your time travel wishes to Mayberry.Remember though,you would have to leave your cell phone,pager,iPod,laptop and any other electronical marvel with 2008. Oh yeah,one more thing.If I was feeling extra frisky,would like to run into the fun girls,Daphne and Skippy!

- smells like chili an' crackers
I bought a second hand dresser from a thrift shop located in the outskirts of Mt. Pilot. After getting it home and wiping it down with Foster's Furniture Polish, I couldn't help but notice that the dresser smelled of chili an' crackers. Real spicy smelling and I couldn't figure out why. I upended the dresser to polish it some more and saw an old shipping label from Ft. Lauderdale on the bottom - 'ship to Mendlebright Rooming House, Mayberry NC' Mystery solved. _ See how Windows® connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/119463819/direct/01/ ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Tom Kessel "Fan Club"
>>>As I have stated before, I absolutely love Tom Kessel's interesting >>>information he shares about various old character actors. I think that even >>>though we are all TAGS fans first, we are vintage television fans as a close >>>second.<<< I agree with Robert in that I thoroughly enjoy the information Tom provides on character actors. I have long had an interest in the character actors of classic TV and old movies and love to find out more about them. Often, Tom is able to give us information that we could get NOWHERE ELSE -- exclusive personal info. I hope he will continue to post and share his knowledge with us of the many character actors on TAGS. I will not presume, of course, to demand a change in the digest rules. I understand that Allan is in charge, and that decision rests with him. But you have my support, Tom.

Ramona & Bunny
Years ago there was a cable channel that showed old game shows. They showed reruns of the 1970s show Tattletales, where famous married couples came on and tried to match stories. If they did, they won money for their rooting section. I remember seeing Jackie Joseph on with Ken Berry, and she was so cute. Also on several times were Barbara Stuart and her husband. Barbara told a funny story about how they fought over putting dry ice in the punch bowl.They also had Gavin Mcleod, Linda Henning and Glenn Ford on - but he didn't really Glenn Ford around the studio the way one might expect.

noticing Andy
I was watching the TAGS last nite when Goober has the gas station prizes and Floyd wins $200.00. At one point Goober has his hands on Floyd's car and Floyd says"Would you remove your hands from my car." Andy is in the background and I noticed him "mouthing" the words that Floyd was saying, almost as if he was trying to help him get the words out. And, about that show. Wasn't that Floyd's last appearance? I always wondered why they made him act so mean to Goober. Floyd was never that way in earlier shows. In fact, he always seemed to look on the bright side and seemed to see the good in everybody. Just rather naive about things. Just some thoughts.

He started the War She Provoked it..Im Stopping it...
no one will defame my good name and reputation and allow thousands of readers (So I been told) to get the wrong impression of me. im a man of conviction and i fight injustice. One person despite whatever good intentions he had , went on the board and assumed i was thinking of writing a book. im not and i wanted to defend myself and clear the record.I was impressed by Roberts very kind words to me yesterday. But when i read the other one from a person who who said what she said i cant take that sitting down. ive done nothing wrong except in other peoples minds interview 125 character actors only to see remarks imflammatory to be sure suggesting im the reason why no one may not want to reply to my posts. I stand by anything i say and submit. But im too d... sick to allow this to go on and get out of line. im as Barney said (And im funny but serious) nipping this in the bud. im bringing this to an end NOW>I want no more discussion about making a mountain out of this molehill.i dont need wrong negative impressions against my good name and good intentions. i put my heart and soul into 125 interviews (Let alone 1000 autograohs) what i collected amassed and over the years try to share with a select few. .im not overreacting. far from it. im defending myself for unflattering words aimed to put the wrong impression about me into peoples head. that simple. i dont need aggrivation and defamation done to me at this stage of my life. I might be better off therefore if thats the impression others might get, to back off altogether and keep my interviews and hollywood collection to myself. im sorry folks for bothering you with this silly petty stupid embilliac message i am sending in when it destracts us from its sole purpose of keeping alive the memory of the beloved cherished TAGS but you can be sure its my honor my good name im looking at here. deathly ill as i sm fighting against time and im on the losing end, ill take on anyone who slanders my name or the good ive tried to bring to the DIGEST> Goodbye.Tom Kessel. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
