George Foley
I was watching the George Foley (Tex) episode yesterday and have a question. Why did Andy get upset with Opie about telling him his friends pushed his car in front of the fire hydrant?

This weekends episodes-questions...
Barney was making fun of Opie and his friend getting the "squidgets" after visiting the rimshaw place. Have you ever heard this term used before? Also when Barney and Gomer enter the Rimshaw house Gomer says "Age before beauty." What does this mean? How could a competent teacher as Miss Crump make such an error when she transcribed the grades onto Opie's report card?

Benji
Thanks for your comment yesterday, Ken. I laughed out loud: always crack up when Barney tells Thelma Lou how Andy has gotten burned a few times when he lined up blind dates for him.

Thomas A Moody
When Thomas A Moody came to town why did Andy and Barney refer to him as "Davis?" Did they find out his real name?

The American Flag in Mayberry
The American Flag was shown in the closing credits in "Return to Mayberry." Andy and Barney are either taking it down or putting it up after Andy was re-elected sheriff.

Sheldon Leonard
I was searching for info on a certain Dick Van Dyke Show that I have never seen, but would like to, and I found out it this episode influenced Sheldon Leonard: >From a 21st-century point of view, it seems ridiculous to praise a series for using African-American actors in roles other than maids or railroad porters. But when The Dick Van Dyke Show premiered, the world of prime-time sitcoms was a different place. Even though the Civil Rights movement was slowly progressing, TV was still dragging its feet when it came to change. As a result, one of the most popular episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show – “That’s My Boy?” – almost didn’t make it to film. In the episode, exhausted and overwrought new dad Rob was convinced that the hospital had sent him and Laura home with the wrong baby. A couple named Peters had welcomed a baby in the same hospital on the same day, in a similar hospital room number, and the Petries had even received some of the Peters’ gifts in error. The comedic (and controversial) payoff to the episode arrived when Mr. and Mrs. Peters visited the Petrie household and were revealed to be a black couple, played by Greg Morris and Mimi Dillard. The positive response from the studio audience gave producer Sheldon Leonard the confidence to sign Bill Cosby for a co-starring role in a new series he was producing, I Spy. -- Ted (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Jeopardy
I was flipping channels the other night and "Who is Jim Nabors" was the Final Jeopardy question. Did anybody see what the answer was? -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Scenes that always make me laugh
What lines/scenes make you laugh out loud no matter how many times you see it?? One of mine is when Otis is singing, then bawling, and when asked what's a matter says "The Old grey goose is dead!" Mine: Andy's face after he hears Goober's imitation of Cary Grant. Barney's expression after the judge calls him to be a witness against Andy. Barney walking like Frank Sinatra at end of Lady Speeder episode. Opie laughing in church after Clara hits a sour note. -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Old lady
Does anyone know the name of the actress who played the liitle-old-lady shoplifter at Weavers? I think I have seen her on "Little House on the Prairie." -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Stunt doubles
The man who was a Karate instructor could have been Barney's stunt double. It sure fooled Fred! -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TV guide
Can anyone supply a link to a still picture of the Andy and Opie TV guide that is seen in Walker's Drug Store in "The New Doctor?"

TAGS Movie
Okay everyone...who would play Mr. Shwump? Nice Dress Nellie? They should base the plot of the movie on the "Stranger in Town" episode and have Tom Hanks play Ed Sawyer! And Angelina Jolie as Lucy Matthews! -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Guest characters
Can you think of any characters that made only one appearance, but that you'd really hoped would be on again? This question came to me when I was watching the Ed Sawyer episode. One of my favorites. Why did he not re-appear? He bought the gas station, he called on Lucy Matthews. Curious, curious, curious. Actually I would love to see Lucy Matthews again, too. -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
dialog
Does anyone know the exact dialog where Andy and Barney were trying to figure who people were by looking in the yearbook and Andy was pointing out about a certain fellow who was involved in a lot of sports and Barney says: "Oh yeah, I remember now, he was always sweating!" One of my favorite TAGS lines.Thanks! -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Picnics
Every time they show the front of the grocery store there is a sign for "Picnics" and gives their price.

Favorite scenes
What's your favorite scene not involving Andy, Barney, Opie or Aunt Bee? Mine would have to be the three gentlemen at the counter at the drugstore trying to impress Ellie. It was brilliantly written, and the sound effects were perfect. -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg (Theodoric of York) "We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid."-Benjamin Franklin ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Andy and Mary
Have you ever noticed how uncomfortable Andy seemed around Mary? And how comfortable he was around Helen. Do you think it has something to do with the chemistry between him and the actresses or do you think it was written that way? -- Ted (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Juanita
In last night's episode on TV Barney was talking about the time he was supposed to "squire" a girl around town, but Andy ended up being the one to do it. Barney mentioned the date in 1952 when it happened, and mentioned that Juanita saw them together at the diner. Just how long did Juanita work there? -- Ted (Theodoric of York) "Oh, stewardess.
