Dinner
>>>To answer the dinner question, dinner is lunch. I once was invited to >>>"dinner" at my grandparent's house so I showed up in the evening. Grandma >>>was rather upset that I did not show up at noon, when dinner was served. >>>They did not call it lunch, it was dinner. Dinner was at noon.<<< Yes, when I was growing up on the farm, we ate breakfast, dinner, and supper. Dinner was the noon meal and often was the most substantial meal of the day, and supper was usually mid-evening, around 8:00, give or take an hour, since my dad was a farmer and didn't get back in the house till evening, after all his chores were done. People in Mayberry would have used "Sunday dinner" to refer to the midday meal, not the evening meal. I think that terminology was more common when our culture was more rural and less urban. When I got in high school and college, I started using the word "lunch," which I heard used more often. But I still call the evening meal supper and probably always will.

Mayberry Keepsakes
These "Keepsakes from Mayberry" do not necessarily have to have ever been seen, do they? I'm thinking I'd like to have the corner street sign that designates Rockford and Haymore, since that is Andy Griffith's home street and corner in Mount Airy. I don't believe it's ever shown but in the last black and white episode, with Jerry Van Dyke, Andy offers him the prestigious position of crossing guard. He walks Jerry outside the courthouse, points down the street, and tells him school is just about to be let out and he needs to go to Rockford and Haymore. So that's what I'll take as my choice of a Mayberry Keepsake. I belong to a Walton's Mountain on line group (their newsletter comes out only once a month). They want members to choose a "Keeper of." I'm the Keeper of John Boy's typewriter. I would have picked the typewriter in the Mayberry courthouse but who needs two typewriters?

keepsake
Wow! Thank you guys for all the great answers to my "what keepsake would you like to have" question. You all had great answers. Im sure we have all thought about something from the show we would love to have. I have often wondered if the cast kept anything as a keepsake. Thanks again, it was interesting to see all the different thoughts and answers. Your Mayberry Pal Debbie in SC ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Dinner/replacement
I remember visiting my grandparents in Arcadia, California in the 1970's and dinner was, indeed the noontime meal. I always thought a great replacement for Don Knotts would have been Jerry Van Dyke. -- Walter "Ted" Kamprad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

dinner time
To answer the dinner question, dinner is lunch. I once was invited to "dinner" at my grandparent's house so I showed up in the evening. Grandma was rather upset that I did not show up at noon, when dinner was served. They did not call it lunch, it was dinner. Dinner was at noon. And, do not forget because Grandma gets upset.

RE: Keepsakes and Digging
That's a great thought...I wonder what's under that blacktop?! Maybe, if it's anything like Opie's controversial newspaper or Barn's magazines (purchased to put a kid through college), they might be better under the pavement. However, just thinking about the outdoor props that might've been junked makes me want to go on a treasure hunt. Anyone want to go in on an investment for renting digging equipment?

We're Home...well...almost
Jan and I have made it back to dry land returning from the Mayberry Cruise 6. It was a great time and I think all those that were part of the Mayberry portion of the cruise had a wonderful time. They announced that there will be a Cruise to Mayberry 7 in 2012 that will be at sea during Halloween so start making your plans to go with us! I'm hopeful that others will tell their stories of this years cruise in the coming days...as they return to their homes and places of business. --Allan "Every things okayin Mayberry." --Floyd Lawson ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

The other day John L. asked some questions about TAGS. I'll take them one at a time. >>> why did Jim Nabors leave his Mayberry TAGS Role of Gomer Pyle to go >>> continue playing Gomer on "Gomer Pyle, USMC?" I'd think that just about any supporting actor would jump at the chance to star in his/her own show. I've no idea what sort of salary Jim Nabors earned while working on TAGS, but I would guess he earned at least 20 times that amount when he starred in Gomer Pyle - USMC. Someone recently mentioned Ronnie Schell's short-lived show "Good Morning, World" which co-starred Goldie Hawn. Ronnie walked away from the role of Duke Slater on Gomer Pyle - USMC to do that show, which unfortunately flopped. Luckily he was able to return to the role of Duke Slater later. >>>Did TAGS ever say how Ernest T. Bass escaped from jail? In the epilogue of Ernest T. Bass Joins the Army, Barney searches the cell and finds an old bent fork. He concludes that Ernest T. had been using the fork as a lock pick; however when Barney "locks are practically my middle name" Fife tries to open the lock with the fork, he fails. Side note: Barney claims the fork "presses against the tumblers" and in the Cousin Virgil episode, Andy concludes that the shiny, polished keys "won't turn the tumblers" anymore. I'm not a locksmith, but I do know something about locks. It is obvious by looking at the keys that the jail cell doors are simple WARDED locks, which do not have tumblers. >>>And Lastly where were the outside and inside scenes filmed and can you >>>still see the outside place or is it torn down? I heard that the outside >>>scenes were done at a place called 40 acres. Is that true? Yes, almost all of the exteriors were filmed at 40 Acres, a legendary lot in Culver City, CA which was used for many hundreds of films and TV series, notably the original King Kong and Gone With the Wind. Remember the famous shot in GWTW in front of the train depot where all of the dead and wounded soldiers were laying in the street? The same railroad depot was used on TAGS, in the episode The Legend of Barney Fife. A few other buildings scene in GWTW would be used on TAGS as well. The whole lot was bulldozed around 1976, and office and industrial buildings now occupy the site. Kipp Teague of Virginia has created an AMAZING website dedicated to 40 Acres. It oughta be required reading for every law enforcement officer, uh, I mean every Mayberry fan. http://www.retroweb.com/40acres.html The interiors were filmed a few miles away at DesiLu Cahuenga studios; as far as I know these studios are still in use today. Seinfeld was shot there (hard to believe that show is now over 20 years old). Paul Mulik ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TAGS episode "Bailey's Bad Boy" Question
In the episode of TAGS "Bailey's Bad Boy". There is a question that does not make sense. At 13:50 Andy walks into courthouse and him and Barney are both dressed up and Andy tells Ronald Bailey that they're closing since it's Sunday and Otis is still asleep, but Andy tells Ronald Bailey that they are going to Andy's house and eat dinner HOw does that all add up? A: Otis is still asleep. B: Barney is reading the comics. C: Andy and Barney are dressed up for church. D: They are going home to eat dinner. E: They're closing now. F: It looks like morning How does that all make sense? DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER?

well since I can't have the pin that Aunt Martha gave Aunt Bee (Thanks to Goober and Warren), I guess I'll take the bucket to put on my head. OOH wait I already have that bucket in my Mayberry room.

KeepSake
As far as Mayberry Keepsakes go, if you are going to wish for one, why not get one that people would know was authentic? There are so many reproductions around today.My thought is I would have liked to have had the sign from the Mayberry depot that was shown in the final episode of TAGS. You know the one that said: MAYBERRY Pop. 5360Elev. 671 That got me to thinking, can you imagine how many of those keepsakes were just thrown in the landfill when 40 acres was razed?Every time I watch Antique Roadshow on PBS, there is some guy with a painting telling the host, "They were about to throw this in the trash when I saved it". Then the host will say "That is worth $15,000". Just think, probably Floyd's barber chair, and Andy's front porch, the bulliten board, the gas heater, and everything inside the courthouse, all thrown in the landfill. And it's not like we all can walk down to the landfill like Barney, Aunt Bea, and Andy did one time and retrieve the stuff. Just thinking. Orville Hendricks - The Butter and Egg Man from Mt. Pilot. I still have one keepsake. I have my delivery truck that was on the show. It still runs fine and I still use it to deliver eggs and butter. (Before you go Emailing me trying to buy it, that truck only exists in my feeble mind). But wouldn't it be great if I did have it? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
