Over the years the show ran, you could almost say that Andy Griffith played three separate Sheriff Taylor characters. There was the jovial country boy from Season One, the voice of reason in Seasons 2-4, and a bit more serious in Seasons 5-8. Obviously there is some overlap in the evolution of the three. I see a lot of similarities between the 5th season and the color years, as many of the showrunners had departed TAGS for Gomer Pyle, USMC.

A couple weeks ago in one of his excellent Mayberry History posts, Randy Turner mentioned something in the episode "Bringing Up Opie" that occurred only once in TAGS: Otis actually being formally charged with public intoxication before being sentenced. Watching that episode recently, I think I found another unique moment: after Opie leaves the abandoned mine, he walks down the dirt road, kicking a can, until meeting an older boy who lets Opie have some apples and sit in the back of the truck if Opie lets him kick the can. That maybe 20 second scene is totally silent, except for the background music (which I think is the only time I heard that particular music in any episode). The older boy is clearly talking to Opie - but we don't hear anything. This small scene reminds me a lot of the old, original "Our Gang" movies, before they became "talkies". I wonder if this was intentional, as a sort of tribute to those old films, or just that the writers or director were influenced by "Our Gang", which they probably watched as kids. Do any of the "trained observers" out there recall any other "silent" scene in TAGS like this one? (I'm not counting the episode where Gomer joins the Marines, and Sgt. Carter polishes his boots, etc. which is also "silent", because I think of that episode as the first "Gomer Pyle, USMC" episode.) Joe from G.I. Joe, If I am understanding your question correctly I believe the episode when Ellie is running for city council (silly idea) and the men folk decide to show them wimmin how silly an idea it is, shut down their credit lines at the department stores, you see, but don't hear the exchanges with the women and the store clerks along with musical instruments playing along with the scene.

Recently, I finally watched the classic film, "On The Waterfront". One of the main supporting characters, as a bad guy, was none other than James Westerfield a/k/a Uncle Ollie. Although filmed in 1954, a full 10 years earlier than the "Family Visit" episode, Mr. Westerfield looked exactly the same in both the movie and TAGS. Not sure if he aged well when he appeared as Uncle Ollie - or if he looked older than he was in the movie. But he was good in both.

There might even be more than 3, but that is all I could think of.2 of the answers are fairly easy, but the third person is pretty obscure. Let's see if anyone can get all 3, or even surprise me and think of more. Orville Hendricks - Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man.

Well my friends, I managed to survive a very emotionally packed night at my 50 year high school reunion. So much fun reliving old times with old friends whom I have known since I was 6 years old. A few tears were even shed by this overemotional guy. We were a class of 81 and we have lost only 6 thus far, so we have indeed been very blessed in that regard. The group just loved my "Special Reunion Mayberry Presentation " I did. I received a standing ovation and so many wonderful comments following. Some of the people there had not watched a TAGS episode since it was on TV back in its hay day. They especially enjoyed the clip of Barney and Ramona's reunion and that beautiful quote "The tears on my pillow bespeak the pain in my heart". We had kept my presentation a secret and the looks I received when I arrived in full uniform and gun belt was precious. But word soon spread that I was not a real policeman and that was when the fun began. Time for me to purchase a new laptop. I was unable to load any of my videos and music clips at first and I was just sick as it would have ruined the entire evening. However, I was able to get off by myself and do some work and was finally able to get things going. Good thing I tested everything out when I got there and before I was to begin. Sometimes those electronal marvels can be a real pain in the patoot. I noticed the cord they provided had thin wires so I suspect that was the problem.

I've answered this question many times in the past, and I'm happy to repeat for this particular question. (what job do I have in Mayberry) I work for a telecommunications company in real life. Im Mayberry I would work for the Mayberry Bell Telephone (aka May-Belle). At night and on some weekends I would be Sara's backup. She has to sleep sometimes, so I take over the switchboard. People still say "Sarah Get me " I just set them up without explaining it is not Sarah. Its a good way to find out what's going on..who's talkng to who etc...and yes I've even heard the voice or Mr. Schwamp, a rare treat. I know who is moonshining, who is datin, who's going to win an election, and when out of town guests are coming in. So I've explained the "inside" part of my job. The outside part is, I get to team with another Mayberry favorite. I go out and help build new lines with Mr. McBeevee. Ocassionally I get to walk in the trees with him, but more often I work with him to run new drop wires to homes and Businesses. I also collect coins from the payphones, like at Walker's Drugs, and I do a litte repair. Its pretty easy to keep up May-Belle because we only have on line that leaves the town. You probably know that the Mendlebright sisters give that a good test every Sunday afternoon. When I'm on the switchboard, I put my feet up they talk so long..and you guessed it.. my feet fall asleep. Barney keeps asking me and McBeeVee to install a hotline from his room to Andy's house (like a Bat-phone!) But Andy keeps saying the only Hotline in Mayberry is needed at the ice house so someone can call and remind them to turn the light off.

I have played my DVD's all day on a holiday such as this, but there's just something to having the show on actual TV. In the Christmas episode, it dawned on me that the jail appears not to have glass on the windows in the cells.

The Sazerac is a local New Orleans variation of an old-fashioned cognac or whiskey cocktail, named for the Sazerac de Forge et Fils brand of cognac that was its original prime ingredient. The drink is some combination of cognac or rye whiskey, absinthe or Herbsaint, and Peychaud's Bitters; it is distinguished by its preparation method.[2] It is sometimes referred to as the oldest known American cocktail,[3] with origins in pre–Civil War New Orleans, Louisiana, though there are much earlier published instances of the word cocktail.[4] The defining feature of the Sazerac is the preparation using Peychaud's Bitters[5] and two chilled old-fashioned glasses, one swirled with a light wash of absinthe for the slight taste and strong scent.[6] The second chilled glass is used to mix the other ingredients, then the contents of that are poured or strained into the first.[7] Various anisettes such as Pastis, Pernod, Ricard and Herbsaint are common substitutes for absinthe when it is not available; in New Orleans Herbsaint is most commonly used.[8] NANCY ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

I've been watching TAGS and Matlock today (July 4th) and thinking about how much we will miss Andy Griffith, but how comforting it is that everyone can mourn together on this day that is marked by family gatherings, parades, and picnics. What a fitting time to remember him...I think I hear a band concert starting. Vicki ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

<< Do you know what type (design, model, brand, etc.) of boot Andy Griffith wears in The Andy Griffith Show? Any information is appreciated. >> I have always assumed they were "engineer" boots. At least that's what they were called back in the day. My mom wouldn't let me have any because they were usually associated with "hoods". But my guess would be that they were gov't issued - and i doubt they got them at JC Penny's... tom "PEACE is Patriotic" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Several kind folks emailed me reminding me that Mayberry folks did indeed have charge accounts and did not always pay cash. I purposely did not mention that in my post about credit as I guess I did not consider that as a debt as the folks would most likely have paid their accounts in full at the end of each month. I know in our small town all the merchants offered free charge accounts for the convenience of their customers. Of course everyone was expected to pay the account in full at the end of each month as my mother always did, so I don't think people would have run up very large amounts. I love it when people respond to me about things I post. It means someone is actually reading them and is interested enough to continue the conversation. To me that is the greatest thing about the Digest. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Hey Ken , maybe you suggest that Mara should get herself a husband. But be careful she doesn't mistake it as a proposal, or you will really be in trouble with your wife.

Last night I visited a church that we will soon be attending and the pastor announced I was a visitor and stopped and said "every time I think of you and your husband I think of The Andy Griffith Show because of your last name. I always think of the episodes with Mr. O'Malley" (O'Malley is our last name). He asked if that bothered me and I laughed and told him I LOVE TAGS so that was perfectly great with us. After church several members stopped by to talk about their favorite episodes of TAGS. I think we will fit right in with this church!

Dear Tags,I enjoyed looking at the behind the scenes of the unknown character of TAGS. Every night in Birmingham, AL channel WTTO-21 CW shows TAGS from 10pm to 11pm CT. They showedthe Gold Truck the other night, and I foundseveral bloopers, I was shocked at how manyI found. I actually went to Youtube and foundthe episode and watched it. When Andy firstpulls up to the courthouse and everyone is cheering, there is a man right in front of himthat looks like Nate Bracy from the Class Reunion.I saw him there, out in the audience down thestreet, standing by Aunt Bee and waving and cheering when Andy would speak. There was 2 ladies that had umbrellas next to where Aunt Beewas and then when Andy told everyone to go homeAunt Bee was not there. Jud or Choney, the older man was everywhere too.And I don't understand why didn't Gomer just go and put Regis's sign and lean it against the wall. Also, was watching Ozzie and Harriet Nelson showthe other morning and I could not believe who was one of their neighbors! Mrs. Mendlebright.The actress that played Mrs. Mendlebright was much younger looking, in a nice dress and it wasso nice to see her in modern clothes and youngerlooking. Also, when Andy opened the Coin OperatedLaundermat, when he sold it to the guy who hadhis eye on it ever since he opened it up, he told Aunt Bee that he got back exactly what he put intoit. Remember when Howard was going to buy theBarber Shop and rent it out to Floyd and the bankertold Floyd that Howard was entitled to 5 percent.Why didn't Andy get at least 5 to 10 percent overwhat he had put into the Laundermat? He wasat least entitled to that. Always went whoa! whenAndy gently tossed the shotgun on the couch.I am afraid of guns and was always taught to treatthem loaded, always. Howard: How bout you dear?Millie: Ah, it all sounds so dull...let's see...I'll have ah, shrimp cocktail, and a porterhouse steak, au gratin potatoes, and a celery hearts and probablyfudge layer cake, I'll see. Millie: Is there anything wrong dear? Phil. 4:13 I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

<< Those directions sound like complete nonsense to me. The courthouse/barber shop/grocery store area must be the center of town, right? Andy's house is roughly a block away from the courthouse, yet his directions would have Malcolm travel several blocks, making two or three turns along the way, before he even reaches the middle of town. How can this be? >> i think the writers wanted it to sound very difficult and complex so that poor old MM had no idea how to follow those directions! tom "PEACE is Patriotic" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

well it's good to be back and read all the things I've missed. I remember the last time I read a WBMUTBB post was on March 10. I remember because that afternoon I had a severe stroke and ended up in the hospital. I'm better now although I have some paralysis in my left hand and not able to hold bigger than a pencil. But I'm far from admitting to handicap status so life goes on. I came back and found over 1200 e-mails and all the WBMUTBB posts for the past month and a half. Got a lot of reading and scrapping to do. Anyway while convelescing My wife bought me the 50th anniversary DVD. I got to tell you I teared up watching "Return To Mayberry". That is one awesome movie..I had kind of forgotten the plot although I remembered it had something to do with a monster...I've also continued to watch and re-watch all the episodes..I noticed something in 'A Wife For Andy". That's where Barney tries to set up Andy with every girl in town. When the girls come through the door at Andy's they come from the left..The porch steps are on the right..for them to enter they would have to step across the porch in front of the door but they don't..And when Andy looks out to see if any more girls are coming he looks to the left not back toward the steps...Wonder if anyone else noticed this... Didn't mean to carry on so, but its good to be back.

Dear Tags Newsletter, A while back we were talking about the Star Trek episode where Capt. Kirk and Dr. Spock appear on Earth and were walking around in town where Floyd's Barber Shop is. I looked at it on Youtube and the girl that was helping them was no other than a young Joan Collins. Also, on Bonanza, the other day, Rory Calhoun was on and it was a really good show. The title was, Thanks for everything, Friend. It begins with Adam falling into the river and Rory throwing him a rope. It didn't take long for his character to cause problems for Little Joe's friend and the Cartwrights. Love the lines from the show!

Hey Chuck, (I hope it's ok to call you by your first name) I was there too. It was one of only a couple times all the Dillards were at an event. That was really special for me. I had all of them sign one of my "jugs" (which I have now retired that jug). Everybody on the truck!!

In 2004, Mayberry In The Midwest III was held in New Castle, Indiana (Hoosiers) and it was a very good Mayberry Cast Reunion. There were so many cast members there that they had to use some adjoining towns to hold the autograph sessions. I really wanted to see her and get Maggie Peterson Mancuso's autograph (Charlene Darling) so we drove a short distance to Knightstown, Ind. where she was in the Hoosier Gym - Home of the Hickory Huskers. For the non - basketball fans, this is the gym where they filmed the movie "Hoosiers" and it was exactly like in the film, which remains one of the better sports films of all time. I did get Charlene's autograph (she was absolutely delightful) and a picture of me taking a basketball shot which I made. It was a lay up. Not only were the stars there, but a whole host of tribute artists were there including "Barney", "Otis"," Goober"," Opie", "Howard", "Ernest T" and "Floyd", ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

During the 60's I beleive that there were still a minority of women working in the work force and there were many many jobs that they would not allow women to perform. I clearly remember than when I finished my four year term in the Air Force in June 1968, I was approached a few times while I was just walking down the sidewalk and asked if I want or need a job. There was a shortage of men for a lot of jobs. I beleive that the womans rights move began in the 70's and eventually employers were forced to give jobs to women that they really didn't want to. Morals and ethics changed by the 90's a large number of people began hollaring that they want things to again be like they were in the days of The Andy Griffith Show. I know this as I am a portrayal to Don Knotts and I was hounded to change things back. Maybe the word of that reached the media or something because soon after came the last movie that Don Knotts stared in; Pleasantville. Bob Phillips (West Coast Barney) Glendale, Az P.S.

There was the doctor (played by "Fr. Mulcahy") who took out Opie's tonsils and Andy was leary of the operation from an inexperienced doctor. Barney was Dr. Pendike selling Miracle Salve. Does that count? While we're on this train of thought, how many people are seen or mentioned in he show with doctorates? Not the M.D.s. There are bunches of those, but the cademic doctorates. Can anyone name them? I am assuming the following would have had academic doctorate degrees: (I am including psychology but not veterinarians) Dr. Harrison Everett Breen of New York City, the visiting preacher Neil Bentley, Attorney at Law (It takes a doctorate now - not sure about then.) The Lady Goober dated after the computer matchup. (Wasn't she a psychologist?) Lee Drake, another lawyer Arthur Harrington, Ron Bailey's attorney A number of attorneys Frank - the friend of Peggy who was a pharmacist Fred - Ellie's uncle Dr. Merle Harmon, (He was a licensed PPD according to Barney) Jack, Charlie's nephew was a candidate for a degree in Psychology...

dear Tags, I just found out that Joy Ellison played Mary Alice's best friend in the episode where she broke her date with Opie to go out with the older young man, Fred Simpson. She seemed more upset about what it was going to do to Opie than Mary Alice did! All she wanted to do was be seen with Fred Simpson! I just can't believe that girl in that episode is the same little girl in the Beauty Pageant, Scobbies Foreclosure. I know these aren't the real names of the episodes. that little girl eating the cookie with Andy was so cute. God Bless her going on after TAGS and having a wonderful career as a dialect coach. Oh, I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but I saw a big, it's big oversight of the prop dept. In a drug store scene with Ellie, i believe it was Andy something, can't remember. Andy and Ellie were standing in front of the counter where Emma Watson had tried to sneak behind to help herself to her pills. Anyway, the sign above the counter on the shelf advertising the photo lab said Enlargements, but it was Misspelled! it was spelled: ENLARGMENTS! I just thought wow! Someone check it when they see a scene in the drug store. Our local tv station shows TAGS at 10 thru 11 pm every night 7 days a week. last night was the Christmas episode. My favorite part is when Ben gives Bee the sewing basket and Ellie and Mrs. Scobbie a gift and they instantly turn and start singing Noel the Angels and making him a plate and as Andy is taking him to put him in a jail cell, they say Ben? and he turns around and is given a plate and a cup of eggnog. just beautiful, just beautiful!!!
