Re: classic lines
I recently read a DVD review on Amazon.com about season four of TAGS and one poster said in the episode "My Fair Ernest T. Bass," Barney delivers the funniest line in television history. I presume he means this one (recalling strictly from memory): "Dogs, Andy, nothing but dogs...I'll bet if someone flew a quail in this room every woman in here would point." So let's say someone's compiling a list of the funniest sitcom lines in television history, and picking from all the classic TV shows, from "I Love Lucy" to, say, "My Name is Earl." Question: which lines from "The Andy Griffith Show" would make the list?

The Mayberry Expletive
Whether Jack Prince accidentally swore in a line of dialogue on TAGS is really immaterial. It's ever so slight. How do you think it was in the prop room when Andy and Don Knotts were on a break? How about being a fly on the wall in Sheldon Leonard's office during a heated conversation? More recently, look at Jim Nabors as 'Lugs Harvey' in the film "Stroker Ace" when Stroker T.C.ed into the wall during a NASCAR race. Don't forget Andy's mild expletive he frequently used on "Matlock." It is the common slang for a flop eared mule. "He did it again!" (I changed the pronoun).

More on Columbo
Re: I can say with certainty that Columbo's first name was never given in any episode of that show. Let me guess: somebody told you it was Philip, right? Without making a moulage about a non-TAGS item, let me just say that no! - it's not Philip. I'm aware of Mr Worth's made-up name in his trivia book, and I'm aware of his reasons. The real name has nothing to do with that. You are right to say it was never mentioned on the show, but I'm just saying that it was seen! Clearly visible when he shows his ID to Eddie Albert in "Dead Weight" (1971). I imagine the prop man just scribbled any old name he could think of on the ID to make it look real, but it's there, nonetheless! I've had many interested parties ask me (and have emailed them), so I'll tell you right here and now: Look away if you want to retain the mystery. Sorry if I got off the Andy subject for a bit there, Allan. Lord, I apologize! ***SPOILER ALERT* It's Frank.

Mr Masters
Not only was John moonlighting at the Dragnet Lab but I just saw him in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock as a private lab employee who analyzes some coco for a guy to see if it was poisoned.

Ben Weaver's Tie
Hey Andy, Hey Barney! (Can't you just hear Gomer saying that?) I just had to post this handy little item that I discovered whilst watching my DVDs the other day. I was watching The Shoplifters episode where Weaver's is being robbed by the little ole lady that clanks. In the scene at the end where they weigh the lady I noticed Ben Weaver's tie. If I'm not mistaken, and I looked gd, It's the same tie that Gomer bought for his date with Mary Grace!!! I couldn't believe it! That is such a great touch to put that in twodifferent shows. Who'd a thunk it? I hope this gets me a trained noticer's award. I always wanted to be a trained noticer! Gomer Says Hey!

RAFES "BAD WORD"
Hi all, I would like to officially put this to rest. Rafe did NOT say any bad word. If you put in the DVD with closed caption you will see for yourself. In fact he says "well, that's me". The Andy Griffith Show is a very wholesome show with heart, courage, love and an escape from the sin soaked world we live in. I never take that for granted and I never let my faith in it, or the loving Christian messages it gives us, fade in any way and I hope you all will do the same. God Bless and Keep your eye on the prize.

Rafe
I didn't mean cause a big milange. I just wondered if anybody else had noticed. I wanted to make sure, so last night I pulled out my brand new boxed set of DVD's and played that part over and over until I came to the conclusion that Rafe was really saying, "Hal, that's me!" I don't know what "hal" means. It could be a contraction of "huh well" with a little Mayberry twang. I'm sure it was not anything naughty, though. We all know that's just not possible in Mayberry. That would be just "crude talk" as Gomer would say. And besides, if Rafe had used a bad word, his face would have become colored like in that movie "Pleasantville."

boys in the lab
If you remember "Captain Midnight" from the 50s (I was a mere child) Olan Soule (a.k.a.John Masters) played a scientistyou know,one of the boys in the lab. Funny that he would play a similar role on Dragnet. I guess he just looks like a lab technition/choir director.

The White Horse Knew
We were watching "Divorce Mountain Style" the other night and my darling person pointed out that when Barney mounted the horse, he did so from the wrong side. It's obvious to see, but I'd never noticed it before. It makes perfect sense to me since Barney didn't exactly claim to be an equine expert. Don Good "East to west.

RE; Mayberry People
Andy never lost his cool and always did the right thing except when it came to Opie. We see him a few times lose his cool and jump to a conclusion. How many of us have made that same mistake only to find that it is our child that ends up teaching us the lesson instead of the other way around. We are never to old or know so much that we cant learn something from our children, it is a lesson I have learned many times. The bible tells us that only as a child shall we enter the gates of heaven. I can right at this moment close my eyes and see Opie`s eyes as he say`s " dont you believe me Pa." WWAD, he is asking us to believe and trust in our kids. I think as we grow older that we forget how to trust and love sometimes. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Not Phillip And Spoiler Alert
I hate to be the one to correct Paul, but Colombo's first name, as supplied by John S. is NOT Phillip--and read no farther if you don't want to know, but it is Frank. As John explained in His Post, this name was on the Lt.'s badge and he was able to see it by zooming in on it when Colombo showed it to the suspect, Eddie Albert, during one of the series earliest episodes. I think that will stand up under scrutiny as when this series was made no one dreamed of dvds and people being able to see something like the Lt.'s badge with the clarity that we can today. Anyway, it satisfies me and Laura Lee Hobbs; can't tell how it will satisfy Paul, he's a hard one Lydia ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Adventure Solution
OK, here's the solution to my little Adventure from yesterday. Walking down Andy's driveway to the sidewalk and turning right would take you in front of Wally's house (Man in a Hurry), you'll see the stump in the front yard that Ernest T and Romena leapfrog over in My Fair Ernest T. Anyway, continue down the street past all the houses and you'll come to the corner when the commercial buildings start. The church would be on your opposite corner. Turning right and following the sidewalk, you're now going down the street to the side of the courthouse. You walk past that odd door you see in about the 3rd building down and continue until you are directly across from the Feed and Seed that is located behind the courthouse. Crossing the street to the Feed and Seed, turn left and you'll have to cross the street that runs immediately behind the courthouse (where they worked on the bandstand in Sermon for Today). Obviously, the first building you encounter will be the courthouse with that door about in the middle of that side. If you enter that door, you'll be in 1 of 2 places, depending on which episode you're watching. 1. It is usually considered the back door to the jail. Where Opie took the dogs out in Dogs, Dogs, Dogs. Enter here and you're in the back room of the jail where Barney takes his naps. 2. It has also been the entrance to the Mayor's office which is considered to be above the jail. Andy and Ellie leave the Mayor's office and exit the building through this door. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

I've read a lot of your good posts here on WBMUTBB about the inspiring people in Mayberry and the lessons that they teach us. Many times I try to think of how Andy would have handled certain situations in my life. In an effort to try to continually improve myself, I've decided to make a small change in an already popular phrase (WWJD). I've decided to change that to WWAD (What would Andy do). Many times, it helps me to be more understanding and patient with my situation and ultimately make better decisions.
