Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast #236: Disappearing Keys
Two Chairs No Waiting 236: Disappearing Keys http://twochairsnowaiting.com/ There are several times throughout the run of The Andy Griffith Show were we see continuity errors. From Barney’s badge being on his shirt in one scene and missing in the next to people missing from a bench on the street only to appear when the shot cuts to a different angle. On this episode a caller points out the disappearing jail cell keys while another person writes in to note the Taylor’s home moving right next door to Miss Crump’s house. Was there a continuity person? How might they have missed these errors? Let’s find out. == Links == # Andy's Vacation - http://www.mayberry.info/history/index.php?title=Andy%27s_Vacation_%28TAGS_Episode%29 # A Warning from Warren - http://www.mayberry.info/history/index.php?title=A_Warning_from_Warren_%28TAGS_Episode%29 # Sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast mailing list - http://www.imayberry.com/mailman/listinfo/twochairspodcast_imayberry.com # iMayberry Community - http://imayberrycommunity.com/ # The Mayberry Historical Society - http://www.mayberry.info/ # The Mayberry Channel on YouTube.com - http://www.youtube.com/user/mayberrycom ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
A Mayberry moment
Can't you just picture Andy and Barney doing this for Otis. Johnna Fayetteville, AR Town drunk was so beloved that even the local police mourn his death9 hrs ago Alvin Cote racked up 843 public drunkenness arrests during his time as a homeless alcoholic in Saskatoon, Canada. So by the time he died last month at the age of 59, local cops knew and tolerated Cote (Catchphrase: "I'm a fighter") so much that they put his police sketch on T-shirts to commemorate his death. Cote was so beloved during his life, the police gave him eyeglasses from charity boxes earmarked for Africa; they bought him food and celebrated his birthday. It might seem troublesome to lionize a town drunk, but if a man can be judged by how he's remembered after he's gone, Cote was much, much more than that.

A brush in the mouth is better than a punch in the nose !
Seems too obvious not to be intentional but in the episode Alcohol and Old Lace I see Floyd putting the brush ( with talcum powder ) right on Andys mouth as he's finishing up his haircut. Certainly this couldnt be scripted . Accident ? Strange how Andy didnt flinch or anything but continued on .. Its the actor of the man. I'm sure when a few years pass Floyd wont ever remember doing it and would certainly give Andy a punch in the nose if he said he did !

A question for the forum - ???
May I ask the forum a question ? Im lazy and do not feel like searching my Mayberry 101 book ( dont know if the answer to my quesion is in there to begin with ). Whats behind Andy Griffith making a quick change about continuing after the 5th season after claiming he wouldnt ? That was quick and painless ? Thank you in advance ! Holland Lexington NC Less than one hour from Mayberry ---heres a little reading on the subject Why did Barney (Don Knotts) leave TAGS after the 5th Season? Andy had originally signed to do the show for 5 years, and I had a five year contract. He said " I'm only going to do this for 5 years and then move on." Even in the beginning of the fifth year he was still saying that. So I started self-protecting immediately and began searching out what I was going to do next. I interviewed with all networks. I was very hot with that show, so I could have had almost anything I wanted. Finally, I wound up getting a very nice feature deal with the universal to make The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. Anyway, it came down to this: I hadn't actually signed with Universal yet but had made a lot deals and negotiated for a long time. Then all of a sudden Andy turned around and changed his mind. He came to me and said, "I've decided to stay on. What do you think? We've got a new deal to offer you. Do you want to stay. But by then I had already committed myself to universal, where I had an opportunity to make features. Although I didn't have a production company , they gave me an office, my own writers and a five year contract. It was a nice deal, and by then I thought it was time for me to move on - so I did. I came back and did a few shows with Andy. I used to kid them when I came back. I'd say "Are you still working with that little screen? Then they'd yell, "here comes the movie actor." ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Over the weekend, my family rented a DVD at the local video store, one called "Deep In The Heart".It is a heartwarming family story that I can recommend to everyone on this site. But any hoo, at the start of the movie our hero is nothing but a mean drunk, beating his wife and kids and losing his job. At one point in his drunken days, he is locked up in jail for drinking and fighting.The sheriff walks in and looks at him sitting in the cell and proceeds to tell him, "Look here, this has got to stop, I am not Andy Griffin and you are sure not Otis". I thought that was pretty funny.. Orville Hendricks - Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man. But the sheriff never mentioned a word about any chicken coop casanova. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
My Visit With A Former Policeman
Tonight I had the pleasure of having an old friend stop in for a visit. I haven't seen him in years. He is 84 years old and he is a retired homicide detective from Milwaukee. It was the first time he has seen my squad car. We sat in the car for a long time and he reminisced about some of his early days as a police officer in the big city. His experiences were a far cry from our peaceful little Mayberry. He began his career in the early '60s so he said he spent a lot of hours in a squad car very similar to mine. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry Foods
Mike was talking about Mayberry foodslet's not forget Hoot Owl Pie. On another food note, I was watching Those Gossiping Men this morning. When Wilburn Finch first appears, he comes into the drug store for a root beer. Aunt Bee and Emma are sitting there having coffee and what appears to be lunch. Don't know of any other instance where you could get anything at the drug store except soda fountain items. I also looked up Jack Finch who played shoe salesman extraordinaire, Wilbur Finch. IMDB only lists a total of 12 career appearances. I wonder what his story is? Stage actor, part-time actor, moved behind the camera in some capacity, sold cars? Makes you wonder. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
