*** News From TAGSRWC HQ: Aunt Bee Story ***

The Mysterious Disapperance of Rance Howard
This is for those of you who are diehard TAGS fanatics. I recently obtained a copy of the pilot episode that appears to be fully intact, running over 23 minutes. It has an entire scene featuring Will Wright (a.k.a. Ben Weaver) that is completely omitted from the episode that aired on Nick-at-Nite in the 1980s. Here's my question. The closing credits list Rance Howard as one of the actors in the episode. I've searched over and over and I cannot find Mr. Howard anywhere in the episode. Does anyone know what happened? Maybe he was in a scene that was later edited out, but my copy doesn't appear to have any edits. Perhaps he was originally in the episode and it was left on the cutting room floor before it first aired and they accidentally kept his name in the credits (I think this happened at least once in a later episode). I thought that maybe he was one of the cameramen seen in the courthouse interview scene, but neither of these guys look like Rance and they don't usually credit the folks who don't have speaking parts. This has got me stumped! What happened to Rance? This may be one of those big unanserable questions, kind of like "Who played Mr. Schwamp?" Can anyone out there please shed some light on this for me?

[no subject]
Ken, Hope that the book is a great success.I look forward to adding it to my Mayberry book collection. As to chicken owners,the first one to come to mind was the cute little man that was being evicted and had the chicken in the house when Andy came to serve the papers.Then there was the man making the "shine" that the rooster got drunk on the corn. "Growing up Southern is a privilege. It's more than where you're born, it's an idea and a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than lovin' fried chicken, sweet tea, football, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, devoted to screen porches, moon pies, sun dropand each other. We don't become Southern, we're born that way." - Stay in the know. Pulse on the new Yahoo.com.

TAGS Air Time
Maybe my memory is fuzzy, but wasn't there a stink raised when TAGS was moved from "dinner time" to 9:00? Seems I remember something like "This will be the first time TAGS hasn't been on the air during dinner time in ?? years!" In fact, I am sure I remember this. Now, there seems to be the opposite argument - "don't take it away from prime time." Looks like they sort of put it back where it wasOf course, my memory ain't what it used to beAnd some people don't eat at 5:30What time do the Indians eat?

Pictures of my car tag
Greetings Andy Griffith Show Fans, Allan, this is really a question for you, but we could all be involved. I am very proud of my Florida License plate, JL 327. I have the only one in Florida. Each year I get a new sticker for the renewal, but every few years they send me another actual plate. I now have FOUR!!! I would love to send a picture of me and Opie holding them to share with the WBMUTBB gang! Is there a way we could share pictures of our favorite Mayberry items that we cherish? I know pictures can start eating up space and time downloading, but what about a link to them? Maybe a .Mac account? I had one for awhile and they are great! I just never took the time to utilize all the features, but this would be fun. Let me know your thoughts.

Talk to the car
My wife has one of those cars with "Bluetooth capabilities" which, best I can figure, means you can talk to the car. I finally got everything working on it and you can say things like "Call home" or "Dial David" and it will make the outgoing call for you. I'm trying to figure out how to make it recognize "Sarah, get me my house." dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Not eggsactly
Boy that's pretty bad when I make a mistake correcting my mistake--regarding Helen showing Slides to the Sunday School class. "It was the Mr. Frisbee episode, not Fred Goss" I guess I got my chicken owners mixed up--so please be kind trained noticers. It was Orville Hendrix that Aunt Bee had the made-up romance with not Fred Goss and Not Mr. Frisbee. OK lets turn this snafu into a positive. How many other chicken-owners can you name in and around Mayberry??? Mr. Frisbee, Orville Hendrix (Mt Pilot counts) .and Chicken thieves and fried chicken makers don't count.
