Valentine's Day gift giving
Laura Lee Hobbs, over at the Mayberry Five & Dime, told me that they still have plenty of the Miracle Salve gift tubs available for Valentine's Day. These one-gallon tubs, says Hobbs, come with an applicator dauber and are fancy wrapped in pink cellophane and silk ribbon. H makes me wish that I hadn't already bought my best gal those two dozen glass canning jars with scratched lids. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
IRS Agent in Mayberry
In the episode "Aunt Bee on TV",she wins several prizes on a game show while in Hollywood.Upon the Taylor's return to Mayberry,an IRS agent comes to town and stops by the barber shop and asks the whereabouts of Andy Taylor.Upon meeting Andy, the agent states that Aunt Bee owes taxes on the prizes.My question is,why would he be looking for Andy as opposed to Aunt Bee,who actually won the prizes? Dewey in NC Speaking of the IRS,what do you get when you combine the word "THE" with IRS?..."THEIRS". ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Walker Store Robbery
In the episode "Andy the Matchmaker" with Miss Rosemary and the alleged Drug Store Robbery. If I saw that correctly when Andy was talking with the Sheriff on the phone and got off the phone, he said we have to drop the charges of the Drug Store Robbery and hold him for extradition. Yet Barney gets a right up in the paper that he solves the Drug Store Robbery. This seems like it should have been, Barney nabs Criminal wanted other state or something like that. Wonder if this was a oversite, or just maybe they couldn't come up with a better ending. Just thinking! Also I liked Miss Rosemary, wish she had been in more episodes. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Advertising on TAGS
The one advertising gaffe I have spotted is in the "Aunt Bee the Crusader" episode.Mr.Frisbee has a hidden moonshine still that Opie uncovers during the state's demolitition of said property.Towards the end of the episode,you can see a bulldozer with the brand name Case written on the side of the dozer,with the model name Terratrac written on the front.

Aunt Bee Suitors
I noticed that someone voted for Floyd to be Aunt Bee's significant other. That got me to thinking if Aunt Bee and Floyd did get married, I guess Carl Benson and the Wildcats would play "Roses of Picardy" at their weddingOrville Hendricks - Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man. Martha always says a man is never complete unless he is married. Then he is finished. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Old filming studios
I was surfing the internet to find where an old western show was filmed. I have always been interested in behind the scenes or where shows were done. I ran across this website:http://www.retroweb.com/tv_studios_and_ranches.html If you scroll down to "Desilu-Cahuenga" studios, you will see some info on The Andy Griffith Show. If you get time check out the whole website and links for all kinds of shows of the 50-70's. Anyway I thought it was interesting and thought I'd pass it along. I don't know if you all may have seen this. I'm not sure if I have seen it. But then again, I don't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.

When I was growing up, all of us teenage boys had an expression we would use when we were feeling especially frisky, "I'll put something on you that BAB-O won't clean off"." I have never heard this expression but burst out laughing upon reading it. I would like to send a can to every politician in the country.

Brand names on TAGS
Throughout its entire run, TAGS was sponsored by General Foods, maker of Post cereals and many other fine products. In the cereal industry, besides Post the other major brands include General Mills and Kellogg's. In Opie's Newspaper, when the boys are in the garage, observant viewers may have spotted shipping cartons for Cheerios and Frosted Flakes, BOTH of which were/are produced by the major competitors of General Foods. I hope the sponsors weren't trained noticers, or they would have been very upset at this.
