Mayberry Phone Book

2009-02-13 Thread Dave Strang
I was wondering if any trained noticers had ever discussed the Mayberry phone 
book. Early in the episode where Goober assembles the car in the Courthouse, 
Andy can't find anyone to stay in the Courthouse while he's out of town and 
Goober asks him who he's going to get. Andy says he doesn't know but will look 
in the phone book (as he pulls the phone book from the drawer).  Wellsince 
that, I can't keep my eyes off that phone book!!  It seems to appear in alot of 
the season 5 episodes I'm watching now. It's always either next to the phone or 
under it. It's a small booklet, which would be pretty authentic for a community 
the size of Mayberry, and even looks a bit dog-eared.

Cleaning TAGS Discs

2007-12-10 Thread Dave Strang
RE:  
I got out my Andy Griffith show Season 4, discs 1 and 2 and discovered that 
some sort of film or junk has formed on these two discs. I have tried to clean 
them but with no success. The other discs in the season 4 set are fine. Discs 1 
and 2 were ok when I first got the set but for some reason they are now ruined. 
Any suggestions about a replacement? I went to Paramount's web site but it does 
not contain any info short of having to replace the whole season 4 set. Thanks.

Bee vs. Bea

2007-11-15 Thread Dave Strang
Thanks for your great response to the family tree questions, Paul.  

But it brings up another nagging question...

I am curious as to why it's Aunt Bee when her first name is Beatrice, which is 
most commonly abbreviated as Bea? Where as, a Bee is defined as a flying 
insect. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, 
presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. There are slightly 
fewer than 20,000 known species of Bee, in 9 recognized families, though many 
are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on 
every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains 
flowering dicotyledons. Either way, I'm sure they are particularly fond of 
Nectarine Crush.

Family Tree

2007-11-13 Thread Dave Strang
Watch the trained noticers squirm. Even though it's been discussed a hundred 
times, please explain the family tree.  What is the family connection that 
makes Barney and Andy cousins? And where does "Aunt" Bea fit into the picture? 
Is she really anybody's aunt? And why is Andy not related to Barney's cousin 
Virgil if Andy and Barney are cousins. While we're at itwhat about the Pyle 
family tree?  We know that Goober and Gomer are NOT related to the famous 
General Lucius Pyle, but are they perhaps related to Denver Pyle?  I guess that 
wouldn't officially make them part of the Darling family, would it??  Anyway, 
inquiring minds always love to hear the answers.

Chilly Francis

2007-10-29 Thread Dave Strang
As an actress who did both Broadway and movies before TAGS, I believe Francis 
felt the role was below her.  Perhaps that would explain her giving the other 
cast members the "big freeze".  
   
  As for phony instrumentalists, I would have to include the whole parade of 
Mayberry residents that auditioned for that shoe salesman. I don't think anyone 
actually played a note.
   
  Now, on to another pressing Mayberry debate I know you've all been thinking 
about (well, at least I have been thinking about)PIE vs COBBLER.  As for 
me, I prefer apple pie to peach cobbler, but either is paradise. And berry pies 
of any kind are just dandy. Don't forget the whole family of cream pies. Pie, 
Pie, Pie!  (and a small hunk of ice cream) Pie wins!

I guess everybody has been so wrapped up in Mayberry Days activities, that we

Spiders and Bats

2007-09-18 Thread Dave Strang
The other day a friend asked me to help him light the pilot on his water 
heater.  The water heater is in a storm cellar underneath the house.  The 
opening that goes into the cellar was almost completely covered with spider and 
cobb webbs. As I began making my way into the entrance to the cellar, I 
suddenly felt an icy chill run down my back and immediately felt like Gomer 
with the band gazebo. We had a good laugh about how "spidery" it looked down 
there. I was brave, however, and inched my way in using a big stick. No spider 
bites. (I may have had a bat lay eggs in my hair, though)

Mystery of the Two Juanitas

2007-09-05 Thread Dave Strang
I am going out on a limb to speculate that there were indeed TWO Juanitas. 
First, there was Juanita Beasley who worked out at the Junction Cafe (where all 
the truck drivers go) and there was the Juanita down at the Bluebird Diner.  
Now everyone (including those writing books) contend the same Juanita worked 
first at the Junction and then at the Bluebird. Not so, say I.  It is my firm 
belief that while Barney called on both of them from time to time, the Juanita 
who worked at the Bluebird was Juanita Pike (the Mayor's daughter).  
Please...PROVE ME WRONG!  
   
  I have hired an investigator from Raleigh to look into the whole matter.

Foxes and Green Beans

2007-08-22 Thread Dave Strang
Hello Neighbors...
   
  With reference to the presumed stolen food in the office kitchen, Dennis 
thought it was a fox. We all know that. But since the foxes are foxy, and this 
perpetrator was stupid enough to mistake a bag containing someone's lunch for a 
bag of green beans, I doubted it was a fox. While it IS true that foxes prefer 
yogurt over green beans (foxes hate green beans), I was actually thinkin' maybe 
Luke Jenssen was back around. With his eyesightyou never know. I didn't 
want to make a moulage out of it, though.
   
  On to the campaign...please stop attacking our fat little mayor. Mayor Stoner 
can't hold a candle to Pike when it comes to delivering a flowery introduction. 
And, at least mayor Pike's interests are right here at home in Mayberry and not 
down the road in Mt. Pilot. 
   
  Vote PIKE!

I think Schwamp was actually the one moonshiner the Mayberry Sheriff's

Interior/Exterior Shooting

2007-07-02 Thread Dave Strang
For Rick, who had a question about shooting interiors and exteriors.  Yes, it's 
true that the exteriors were shot on the RKO/Desilu 40 Acres Backlot in Culver 
City, while the interiors where shot on the soundstage at the Desilu Cahuenga 
Studios in Hollywood. There were also exterior fronts of the Taylor House, 
Courthouse row, etc. on the soundstage at Cahuenga, which allowed them to make 
it look as though you were following them from "outside" to "inside".  One of 
the easiest ways to tell whether you are looking at a "real" exterior shot as 
opposed to a soundstage outside shot is the lighting. You can generally tell 
when the SoCal sunshine is beaming down, that it's a "true" outside shot.

Barney Badge Observation

2007-06-20 Thread Dave Strang
I've noticed for some time that while Barney's uniform is generally always 
pressed and neat, with a straight gig line and a properly tied tie, he seldom 
had symmetry in the placement of his badge. It should be centered over his left 
shirt pocket (as Andy's usually was).  I was watching Dogs, Dogs, Dogs this 
morning, and noticed that Barney's badge disappeared completely when he, Andy 
and Opie returned with the dogs following the "giraffe's are selfish" scene. 
The State Investigator should have noticed that and offered Barney a new badge 
while he was being so generous.  Sheesh!
   
  Oh, by the way.he DID have the bulge of a cigarette pack in his shirt 
pocket though.

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette

2007-05-23 Thread Dave Strang
Janet, thanks so much for bringing up Barney's smoker's bulge. When you 
mentioned that, it brought to mind the "loaded goat" episode. It always struck 
me as odd that when the non-smoking Barney went into the dynamite shed out 
back, he whipped a zippo lighter out of his pocket and used it as a light 
source.

Hittin' My Sinkin' Spell

2007-05-22 Thread Dave Strang
Does anyone have a recipe for "salt risin' bread"??  I've never even heard of 
it, but I do hear that it will go nicely with my "mr. cookie bar."

Those Gabby Darlin' Boys

2007-05-21 Thread Dave Strang
Cheri,

I can only think of one time I heard the Darling boys speak, and that was to 
thank Aunt Bee for the supper in the jail cell.

Smoker's Bulge

2007-05-21 Thread Dave Strang
I know this is a knitpicky one, but a trained noticer can't help it.  In the 
episode where Andy delivers the baby out at Sam Becker's house, you'll notice 
that Andy's shirt pocket is closed and flat against his chest until after the 
baby is delivered, and he decides to go out on the porch to have a smoke. Then 
his pocket flap is open, and he has the distinct "bulge" of a pack of smokes 
which evidently magically appeared in the pocket.

Were there any episodes where Barney had more than one bullet in his

2007-05-17 Thread Dave Strang
Judy, 
   
  I remember at least one time when Andy and Barney were after a desperate 
fugitive and Andy handed Barney the box of bullets and said "go ahead and fill 
'er up".
