Andy and Barney cousins
Aunt Bee is not Barney's aunt. We discover this in "Aunt Bee's Invisible Beau" when Andy and Barney are discussing what Andy should do about Barney discovering that Orville Hendrick has a son and is married. Barney says, "If she were my aunt" So they must be cousins on Andy's mother's side. Or, of course, they could be distant cousins, such as second or third cousins, but just drop the second or third part. That's my theory anyway. What's your theory?? Mr. Schwamp > Now for my next question. How are Barney and Andy cousins? Aunt Bee >(Taylor) must be Andy's Aunt on his Father's side. Barney calls her >Aunt Bee, but so does everyone else in town.

RE: Andy and Barney as Cousins
Ken, I believe the third reference to cousins is in the first episode - The New Housekeeper - had Andy and Barney talking about being cousinswhen Andy was waxing the car..

Cousin Barney
Now I'm jumping to conclusions here, but I always thought that Barney was related to Andy on his mother's side... The reason being, is that Barney is never referred to by Aunt Bee as her nephew or cousin or a kin of any kind. And though Aunt Bee and Barney obviously liked each, I never felt they "family" close as relatives usually are. And lastly, in the episode where the relatives come to visit from Lake Charles, Barney makes no references to "his" cousin's visiting Well,,,back to my bucket. I'll think on it some more...

Thelma Lou in pants
>I've been thinking. I don't recall ever seeing Thelma Lou in anything but skirts and dresses. Did she ever have slacks on in any show? < -There is an episode, I believe when Bob Rogers comes down from the State AG's Office and Barney is put out about it.eventually leaves the force to sell vacuumsand he's over at Thelma Lou's and she's cleaning house.wearing pants. This is also the episode in which Barney utters the famous line...Who's Been Messin' Up The Bulletin Board...!--- By the way.What exactly does Thelma Lou do for a living? I've heard her say "she had to get back to the office". Any other known clues? How Barney could have left Mayberry without hitchin' up with that girl is beyond me! What a sweetheart!

Nothing about her that I can add but Loved her daddy, Norman Lloyd, when he was Dr Auschlander on "St Elsewhere".

cousins
>>> Now for my next question. How are Barney and Andy cousins? Aunt Bee >>> (Taylor) must be Andy's Aunt on his Father's side. Barney calls her Aunt Bee, but so does everyone else in town. Does anyone know the answer? I sure don't. Let's analyze the situation. If Andy and Barney are FIRST cousins (which we don't know for sure, but let's assume this is the case) then there are four possibilities: A: Andy's father is the brother of Barney's father 2: Andy's father is the brother of Barney's mother c: Andy's mother is the sister of Barney's father IV: Andy's mother is the sister of Barney's sister We can rule out A immediately, because if that were the case then Andy and Barney would have the same last name. As you pointed out, Aunt Bee's last name is Taylor, so she must be the sister of Andy's father. We learn in "Aunt Bee's Invisible Beau" that Aunt Bee is not really Barney's aunt, because when Barney is trying to rile Andy to action, he says "... I can't figure you out, Andy. If Aunt Bee was my aunt, I wouldn't be staring out of windows, I'd drive straight over the Mt. Pilot " From this, we can rule out number 2, because is 2 were the case then Aunt Bee really would be Barney's aunt (Andy's dad, Barney's mom, and Aunt Bee would all be siblings). Thirdly, when Andy is about to meet Barney's cousin Virgil for the first time, Barney says Virgil is from his mother's side of the family. This implies that Andy does not know any of the relatives of Barney's mother, so this rules out IV. So, unless somebody comes up with a better analysis, I'm sticking with option c: Andy's mother and Barney's father are siblings. --Paul Mulik ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
"AUNT" BEE
I think that Aunt Bee really was Andy's blood relative. But calling ladies aunt even when they aren't blood relatives is a Southern thing, I think. I have two dear ladies that are like a second Mother and Grandmother to me and I refer to both of them as "aunt". It's really a term of endearment and respect and sometimes has nothing to do with being a relative. ..."If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you." - Winnie the Pooh. - Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

Tuesday's Events
My wife Linda and I just returned from our third overnight stay at the Taylor Home Bed and Breakfast. We had a wonderful time as usual and we met some delightful small town folks at the Clear Lake Library where I did a presentation. Unfortunately our visit was saddened by the tragic events at Virginia Tech. How ironic that during a time of a terrible national tragedy we were able to escape to Mayberry and for twenty four hours be shielded from the bitter realities of today's world. Isn't that what Mayberry is all about? A place where we can go to find release from society's pressures and demands. A place where there may be discord, but certainly no hate. A place where the only time you hear gunfire is when Andy is shooting crows or Barney is putting another hole in the courthouse floor or ceiling. My heart and prayers go out for all the people who were affected by the events at Virginia Tech. May the true spirit of Mayberry somehow find its way into all those unfortunate people and may it help them to still find the goodness and love that abounds in so many people and in so many places.

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 8, Issue 107
I don't recall her wearing slacks ever, but there was one episode where she wore her hair down. I think it was in "Barney Mends a Broken Heart." She should have worn it down more. She looked cute and younger.<<< She also wore her hair up in a scarf once...when Barney came over to talk to her about Bob Rogers, and how he thought Andy was grooming him to replace him. I think Thel left the slack -wearing to Peggy and Flora. >>>Anyway, when the camera shows Andy & Opie, Andy's hair is parted on the left side. Then, when the camera shows a close up of Andy, his hair is parted on the right side.<<< That's either a case of the film getting reversed--or...The actor in the hair (sorry couldn't resist.) >>> Barney calls her Aunt Bee, but so does everyone else in town. Does anyone know the answer? I sure don't.< Interesting comment, but not every one does call her Aunt Bee. It seems that most of her Lady friends do not (Clara, Tilly etc. "Oh Bee, it is Heaven on Earth") Also, her various boyfriends do not (the ones I can recall at the moment at least.) Any else???

Sam Becker
I was watching Little House on the Prairie last night " the episode where Rev. Alden gets married" and noticed that the Preacher that Mrs Olsen called in to put a stop to the wedding was none other than Sam Becker I guess he gave up farming. I had a question on the same episode there was an elderly gentleman that made Rev. Alden think about being alone. I think it was Fletch from Baileys Bad Boy episode but not sure. I would like someone to help me out and see if I was just seeing things or not.

I'm not a barber but
Now, you'd probably have to take this question to Floyd as the final authority, but in scenes where Andy's part jumps from one side of his head to another, I'd have to guess that the negatives got reversed in one shot. Don't you have to cut hair to part on one side or another? You can't just decide one morning to move your part. At least I can't. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
