Mayberry Corner
Just checking in to let everyone know that our Mayberry Corner on our Red Rooster Party radio show has become a hit! We do a trivia question (OK, not really trivia.but we are slowly increasing the level of difficulty) and CD giveaway as well as playing music and Andy's stories from the show (we did Jack the Giantkiller last Sunday). I've had the opportunity to meet with some of our listeners and they all have stories about their favorite AG shows. I also teach school and my advisory group begs me to put in a DVD of AGS every day. They sit mesmerized by the story and characters (lots of tears for Opie the Birdman). I live in the State of New England, not what I considered a hotbed of AGS followers, but I've found that they are here, just not showing themselves. I invite you all to tune in Sundays, 2-4pm (assuming no sports pre-emptions) for the Red Rooster Party (old-time/pre-country roots music + education about the music) on whus.org. We'd love to have you participate in the AGS trivia question of the day. Mayberry Corner usually occurs at 3pm. The phone number is 860.429.9487 (that'll give you a head start on the other folks). If you have any ideas on how to improve the segment, let us know. Thank you again for being a pleasant diversion, Marti (NC native stranded in New England). Check out the new AOL.

Mayberry moments
Doug in Montgomery wrote: A co-worker asked me today if I knew Al Becker, who works at a local ad agency. Of course, I kind of rubbed my chin and said, Al Becker. Al Becker. No, I don't think I know him. Even though he didn't make the connection, it made for a nice little Mayberry moment for me! I love those Mayberry moments! I wish everyone could make the connection when we sneak little quotes in, but I guess it's enough that we enjoy them and can share them here. We went to that Smith Brothers Institute down in Washington but I didn't see Barney's motorcycle or anything from TAGS. The American History museum is closed but there was a little display in the Air and Space museum. I guess I'll need to go over to the Armory there in Mayberry. To Brian in Maryland: I did see the Smithsonian Castle as we were dashing by. As it happened, Washington was having a snow storm and was quite windy the day we were there (Sunday). We were all tired, hungry and cold so I didn't make the kids or hubby wait. We just ran for the car. (But actually, it was warm by NY standards). To anyone who goes to DC, the Holocaust museum is well worth a visit. It's horrifying, but we need to see it. To John: Thanks for the explanation that ramps are leeks. I know what a leek is but had never heard of the eating kind of ramps. This digest surely is educational.

Out of Order Episodes
Did TV Land lose the rights to the black and white episodes that they skipped? The black and white episodes only started again on February 7th. Has anyone heard if TV Land is taking TAGS off? They have been airing the episodes very strangely... skipping seasons, etc. ` No, TAGS is not leaving TVLand. Things get a bit messed up when TVLand shows marathons... Here is what the TVLand board moderator posted about the skipped episodes: The situation involves trying to equalize the number of plays (times an episode airs) among all off the episodes. It is a contract requirement that can take a cycle or two to accomplish. BRBRBR**BR Check out free AOL at http://free.aol.com/thenewaol/index.adp.

Has anyone heard if TV Land is taking TAGS off?
I haven't heard anything but, some of you may remember a few years back just prior to TV LAND removing Leave It To Beaver they did the same thing as well (Leave It To Beaver has since been added to the line-up again). I've had the thought that TAGS was being shown so many times a day in order to finish the reamaining episodes before a certain date, maybe the current contract is about to expire and there's no plans to renew it at this time. Just a guess though, Mike I got contempt Creech ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

pickles
Kelly, do the horseradish pickles have all spice in them? I've been secretly planning to go wild with all spice one day, but haven't had a good recipe. Kim - Wylie, TX - Food fight?

Re: Wild Leaks - Ramps
I grew up in NC calling them Spring Onions. I never ate them, but instead I just lopped off the tops when I mowed the grass. **Barn (Ron McLendon) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TVLAnd's episode senquencing
I work in the TV industry and I'm THINKING that TVLand is airing TAGS out of sequence due to certain episodes cpoyrights expiring. You see, when a network buys the rights to air a show, they have so many air plays and/or a deadline date until those episodes expire. TVLand's renewal MAY be coming up on certain blocks of TAGS (as rights usually aren't for an entire season of programs) and they want to make certain they honor their obligations contractually. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
