Long Sleeves
When Andy and Barney and the other officers are hunting the crook in BARNEY GETS HIS MAN, it must have been terribly hot that day. You can see the sweat soaking through the mens' shirt..esp in the back. _ Lauren found her dream laptop.

Mayberry Cafe
We had the pleasure of dining at the Mayberry Cafe in Danville, Indiana yesterday afternoon on our way through the area (OK, it was our lunchtime destination driving back from vacation). We got to town before they opened and were walking around the square when we met some other out of town folks who were also killing time before lunch. We invited?them to join us and shared?stories like we were old friends. Something about Mayberry that can help create those special moments in life. ? Jeff I'm taking my mom to Nashville Friday and Saturday to enjoy a special meal at Stockyard Steakhouse, look through the Country Music Hall of Fame, attend the Mike Snider Show Saturday afternoon, and have front row seats at the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night. Sunday we're heading north to the Indianapolis area for our sixth or so visit to the Mayberry Café before heading back home to Missouri. We always try to incorporate Mayberry into our vacations whenever possible. Can't wait. Maybe we'll be lucky and talk to folks like Jeff did. Me? I'm heading to Nashville. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Re: first season?
In a message dated 7/9/2009 11:02:09 A.M. Central Daylight Time, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com writes: Got to thinking today. How can you tell you are watching an episode from the first season of Andy. A few ways: 1. Andy and Barney are cousins. 2. The squad car is a 1960 Ford Fairlane (in fact that narrows it down to the first half of the first season). 3. Andy makes more mistakes than usual dealing with/understanding women. In fact, he makes more mistakes than usual, period (remember the bit about investing in the folk song album?). 4. Crabby department store owner Ben Weaver seems to be all up in everyone's business. 5. The shadows on the lettering in the opening and closing credits appear to be thicker, and the letters themselves are in a slightly bigger font during the closing credits 6. If you know your cars, look for a 1957 DeSoto Fireflite to pop up a lot in the background. 7. Is it just me or does Andy seem to have thicker than usual hair during this season? 8.

RE: Hot Uniform
Ken said, I can attest that those long sleeve uniforms are indeed very uncomfortable in hot weather. I put mine on one hot humid day for just a few minutes to have some pictures.

Doctors
I think it was Doc Andrews that Andy advised Aunt Bee to visit before she decided to try Indian Elixir instead. She wasn't fond of him because he said, We're not spring chickens any more. So maybe Mayberry had a lot of older doctors who'd work a little while then retire. Also there was Dr. Pendyke, but he was a dog mange specialist and probably didn't practice medicine on humans.

RE: Barney's romantic kisses
I was watching Barney's Physical last night where it is decided that the Sheriffs and deputies have to maintain a certain weight and height. In the first part of the episode, they are having celebration for Barney being with the Sheriff's department for five years. When Thelma Lou is leaving the party, she and Barney share a very nice kiss (flat on the mouth - like when Andy told the story of Romeo and Juliet to Opie) at the door.

Guest Characters
Ted posed the question about any characters that appeared only once in TAGS that we'd like to have seen more of. It seems to me that shows today try SO HARD to have a CORRECT mix characters that they inevitably fall flat on their face. What they end up with seems forced and contrived. TAGS was a near perfect blend of characters. That being said, I would like to offer up a character that appeared once that I think could have been incorporated into the show. While I hesitate to tamper with perfection, don't you think it would have been a plus if Mary Grace (Gossage?), Thelma Lou's cousin (She's NICE), moved to Mayberry and she and Gomer became an occasional story line. Their relationship certainly was going in a positive direction when last we saw them. Mary Grace Canfield was the actress who played Mary Grace (guess the folks who came up with character's names weren't working that week!) and, of course, she later became Ralph Monroe the carpenter on Green Acres. Wikipedia tells me that she was born in 1924 and is still with us. Another one to consider for reappearance would be Michael J. Pollard as Barney's cousin Virgil. Though a little of Pollard goes a long way, IMHO. Which makes me think: what about a scene with Mary Grace and Virgil together!! That WOULD be awkward! And quiet... ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayor Stoner's tie
This has probably been mentioned before, but I wondered about the mayor wearing a tie to go fishing on The Bed Jacket episode. There's something I've noticed about Mayor Stoner's tie. In just about every scene he's in, the tie is tied sloppily with the narrow back part hanging lower than the front part. I wonder if this was the writers' idea, or if Parley Baer came up with it. I think it's a good touch. Mayor Stoner is usually so fussy and mean that his inability to properly tie a tie gives him a bit more humanity and makes him even slightly endearing (in a crotchety sort of way). Of course, in The Bed Jacket, we learn that his wife is not exactly all sweetness and light, so maybe that's why he takes out his frustrations so much on Andy!

Mayberry doctors
I can offer my doctor list I don't know how complete it is. Dr. Bennett Dr. Burnside (my two), Dr. Carruthers, I think their might be a Dr. Springer unless that was a nickname then there was a Dr. Benson. Of course Arnold's dad was Dr. bailey and their was old Dr. winters and also a Dr. Anderson. What Doc Malloy ? Didn't Aunt Bee mention a Doc Andrews in the episode Aunt Bee's Medicine Man?

Mayberry moments
Had two Mayberry moments the other day while flipping thru the channels. In Bachelor Flat, there was our Floyd, in a striped robe, fussing about something. Then in A Life of Her Own, you could hear the strains of Good Ol' 14A in the backbround of one scene. Warms my heart!

First season characteristics
Does anyone else have a sure fire way to tell you are watching a first season show? Andy's southern accent and colorful expressions are more exaggerated in the first season. By the second season, they've toned down and gradually become more understated with the passing seasons.

Re: Guest Characters
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 09:22:24 -0700 From: (Ted)Theodoric of York Subject: Guest characters Can you think of any characters that made only one appearance, but that you'd really hoped would be on again? This question came to me when I was watching the Ed Sawyer episode. One of my favorites. Why did he not re-appear? He bought the gas station, he called on Lucy Matthews. Curious, curious, curious. Actually I would love to see Lucy Matthews again, too. Ted Hey Ted, How bout Uncle Ollie and Aunt Nora? I think they could almost have been regulars on the show.

mayberrians in shorts
Ok enough about hot uniforms. Its hot where I am right now and reading all this stuff about sweat stained uniforms just makes me hotter. I'm still looking for people in shorts. I know Howard wore shorts on the Island and Aunt Bee bought matching sets for Opie and Andy for their California trip and I think one time or maybe a couple of times Andy is in his boxer shorts but how about the ladies I can't remember seeing any in shorts. I know it wasn't until Peggy wore slacks that we even saw women in pants other Frankie Flint and she wore overalls.

Vic's time
Vic interesting but it forces me to say you don't have enough to do --Bob Bob, Now everybody must think I'm lazy. When in fact I worked 50 and half hours last week and drove nearly 3000 miles. Watching time is part of my job since the Federal DOT requires every truck driver to log their time . So it isn't very hard for me to notice little things like the 12:34:56/07/08/09 when it comes up. In fact tonight I'm leaving home around midnight so I can make all the deliveries and get my truck back to the warehouse before the weekend kicks in. i got less than a year to go and I won't have to drive anymore. I wonder if Howard ever had the crazy hours I have when he drove for the Mayberry Transfer Company. Well, anyway Bob now you know how I notice things like that clock time. But i'm still looking for shorts in Mayberry and everyone else is talking about a mayor wearing a crooked tie or lawmen in sweaty uniforms. I feel like E.T. in the classroom when he wanted to write his sen-tence and Helen told him to Please Sit Down ! and he responded something like 'You always want to do something else, everytime I want to do something else. Anyway now everyone knows I'm just a regular working Joe like everyone else. I wonder if any of the stores in Eau Clare Wisconsin will need a bagger when I retire.
