The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
I watched The Ghost and Mr. Chicken on Svengoolie Saturday. I won't go into how many Mayberrians were in the movie or all Mayberry references...since these have been discussed on here before. But during the commercial breaks Svengoolie was making a lot of Mayberry comments. Such as Floyd being a bad barber and when Luther was dismissed from the newspaper Svengoolie said Don't worry Barney there's an opening for a Deputy Sheriff in Mt. Pilot. But two things Svengoolie mentioned that really surprised me were that the Simon haunted house was once seen on the Desperate Housewives series. I have never watched that show so I have no idea whether he was making a joke or if he was serious. The other remark was that the three off camera comments Atta boy, Luther! made first while Luther was giving his speech after spending the night in the Haunted House, again in the court room at Luther's trial and lastly at the wedding were made by TAGS writer Everett Greenbaum The other thing I caught that I never did before was that there was a Mr. KelseyWonder how he ever found his way out of those woods. Anyone know if the above remarks are really facts. ??? Vic Friskey ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

I now am enjoying them all equally as well. I came across TAGS again on netflix and watched the entire series in about two months.Someone has posted half the series of RFD on youtube too. Interesting to note is that no one has insisted he remove it. The same person posted all the TAGS episodes too. I guess that could be a bible study in itself.One is apt to find TAGS at their local library too, but I can't find RFD at all. Anyway,just wanted to say hey and that I want to move back to Mayberry. +===+ My name is Shelia Brown and I am from Hattiesburg, MS My Email address is: s_speig...@bellsouth.net Brown, Shelia - s_speig...@bellsouth.net Hattiesburg, MS COMMENTS: I have grown up watching The Andy Griffith Show.

Betty Lynn autograph session dates
She does the sessions on the 3rd Friday of each month at the museum. They are around 12:30pm to 3:30 but I know she was there until at least 4:30 this past Friday. She is SO pleasant! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Vic, The Simmons house could very well have turned up on Housewives. That show was filmed at the same studio lot. Also, besides Everett Greenbaum's writing talents on Ghost, check out the movie on http://www.imdb.com http://www.imdb.com/ and click on complete cast and crew and take special notice of the third writer. Maybe that's why there were so many similarities to Mayberry, especially the little exchange between Luther and Calver Weems and Luther saying Why don't you run up an alley and holler fish? to Billy Ray Fox. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Eating Sunday Dinner
Today is Sunday and so many families are gathering around their dining room table for Sunday dinner. It got me to thinking that almost every person in Mayberry ate at Andy's house one time or another. Floyd and Clara ate with the new doctor. The Darlings hollered while they were eating. Goober ate spaghetti. Gomer ate several times while he was the house guest. Barney ate there to try to get fatter. Even Fred Goss partook of a meal. As a matter of fact, it is easier to try to remember which regular did not eat with Andy than remember all the ones that did.How many regulars can you think of who were not shown eating with Andy? Orville Hendricks - Butter and Egg Man From Mt. Pilot. I never ate at the Taylor house, but I supplied the butter and eggs for the meals. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Thank you, David Oberly
I wanted to shout out a big thank you to fellow Mayberrian, David Oberly. When I asked if anyone knew where I could send a letter to Betty Lynn, he offered to have me email him a letter for her since he and his family were going to see her in person. He printed it and hand delivered it to her on Friday! Now that's right neighborly and it just goes to show how most of us really do feel like we're all apart of Mayberry. This sure is a friendly town! Thanks again, David! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Nice Dress Nellie
Hey thanks Trained Noticers for the Nice Dress Nellie sightings and references to her webpage. As the orginator of that page (with Allan's great help) I'm thrilled that it is being used and generating these comments. I will try to get those addtions made this week. (if not already done) Thanks so much!! Can I plug something else I've contributed to regarding Nice Dress Nellie? I hope most of you listen to Allan Newsome's Podcast Two Chair's No Waiting. Episodes 191 and 192 are called Mayberry after Midday. I have been a Fan Fiction writer off an on for the past 10 years or so. A Fan fiction writer is kind of like a Tribute Artist..but in Tribute to the writers rather than the Actors. A few years ago Allan and I talked about doing a podcast with a script using Floyd and Bert Miller since he can do both voices. So we did that one..I wrote, he performed it very well. That first one took place totally in the Barber Shop. About a year later we collaborated again with another Floyd and Bert episode that creatively took them out of the Barbershop just a bit, and referenced a few other characters. That one went well also, and we left the door open for another one. When I used to write Fan Fiction just for reading..I always tried to include something in Mayberry that I would have like to seen (but we didn't) such as more about Opie's Mom, a story about basketball..and another Christmas Episode..so this time I applied that principle to the third Floyd and Bert Podcast. (I'm getting back to Nellie here) The thing that I would have like to seen that we featured was..more about the Silent Characters. Mr. Schwamp and Nice Dress Nellie..why are they often seen together? What about Edgar Coleman? What about Hazel? Phoebe? the Beamons? This Podcast brings all of them together as well as a Mayberry Hayride. I think you will enjoy it. There is a little scandal on a very tame Mayberry scale..and thus the title Mayberry After Midday. We find out about an unusual friendship between two of our favorites. OK that's enough of a tease..check it out when you get time. The current series of podcasts are of course tribute to the man Andy Griffith, after our great loss, but these Fan Fiction episodes can wait. I'd love to get any feedback from anyone who listend to them. I hope the story develops in your imagination like it did in mine. The two episode together ironically are about the length of a broadcast episode!!!
