Squad Car info
Okay folks, I'm sure someone here will know this. I'm trying to get a definitive answer on how may different models and years were the Sheriffs Car on the show. I always thought they had a new model every year and they were all Galaxies. I was watching the 6th season and see a Ford Custom. Also, was there a model 1960 through 1968 or did they have some on for more then one season? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

mealtimes at the HOTEL
My take on the HOTEL meal times is this. I don't think many N. Carolina farm families could afford to eat at the HOTEL or anywhere away from home. Those mealtimes were for citified folks who were staying at the HOTEL. Others went to the Snappy Lunch or the Bluebird Dinner where food was more affordable. Kurt Watching #16 today, "Andy Saves Barney's Morale," there is a scene on the porch of the hotel (small as it is) with Jud and Chester playing checkers. Behind Chester is a sign detailing the times of the meals at the hotel. I don't recall such a sign in other episodes nor do I recall any mention of food being served at the hotel. Plus, to me, the sign does not properly portray small town NC in the 60s. First of all, it notes Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Back in those days, we were more likely to call them Breakfast, Dinner, Supper. Breakfast didn't start until 8:00. Heck, in a small, agricultural town like Mayberry, breakfast would have been over before 8. And Dinner (Supper) wasn't served until 7:00. Again, the last meal of the day would have been over well before 7. I guess the prop dept didn't know any better dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
backdrops and Paris
I was watching 'Andy's Rich Girlfriend this morning and as Peggy is standing in the doorway of the courthouse questioning Andy it looks like a big screen behind her. It certainly doesn't look like a building across the street. Almost looks like she's standing in a closet. Another thing when they are in the restaurant and she comments how New orleans is like Paris. Andy asks, 'You've been over there?' end if conversation. I wonder why he didn't talk about his tour in France. seems like it would have been a good ice breaker or conversation piece. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

I have a question about wallys, at the end of the island where the gas pumps are there is a box on a small pedestal, what is that used for?

Andy's long sleeves
Has anyone ever noticed that Andy always wears long sleeves? I was watching "Bargain Day" last night and the scene where Aunt Bee was on the back porch "sitting" with the freezer and Opie comes outside without a shirt on (naked savage!) because it is SO HOT, Andy has long sleeves on. Several times during this episode they mention how hot it is. I also noticed on other episodes where the hot weather is mentioned that he always wears long sleeves. I guess maybe they didn't have summer & winter uniforms back then. Debbie in SC ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
