Ammonia or freon ?

2015-08-20 Thread Holland Shoaf
When Aunt Bea's refrigerator went out and she called Gomer ( instead of the man 
), Gomer busted the line and all went running. Aunt Bea referred to ammonia . I 
recover freon at my job sometimes and know ammonia is POWERFUL stuff and would 
run too if there was a leak.  I recover freon from all types of new and OLD OLD 
freezers and refrigerators. I often see freezers like the one in the episode in 
question. However I have never seen a floor freezer ( that plugs into an 
electric outlet ) that runs on ammonia. Ammonia freezers and refrigerators I 
see are the ones that go into campers and run off of propane.
I dont think that was ammonia in Aunt Bea's freezer.Do you ?

Really neat to see the old cars and the way people dressed and such.
Sheriff Wallace ( Andy Taylor ) was an EVIL EVIL Sheriff ! 
Bad Sheriff ! haha
Wonder if Coweta County was a reference to Sheriff Wallaces cow getting stolen 
for which the thief got murdered .???

How big is Mayberry ?

2015-05-04 Thread Holland Shoaf
How big is Mayberry ? Its big, real big ! O big aint the word !Andy and Barn 
have to drive many hours to the Darlings to take care of the long , very long 
arm of the law with Ernest T Bass. I mean Barney had to wake up at 4 am so the 
could drive across the Robert E Lee Natural Bridge during the day light hours. 
Andy said they had a long drive ahead of them so just how long was it ? How big 
is Mayberry or more realistically how far out is Andy and Barneys jurisdiction ?
If Dud and Charlene came into town to have Andy marry them, you can bet they 
took even longer to get there via their means of travel. I mean how often to 
stop for water at a horses water trough ?

In the Lodge , Howard tells Andy in the last 23 years his records show that 
females outnumbered the males ( in birth ) by 94 percent. An alarming ratio of 
almost 2 to one. What kind of strange circumstance could have taken place in 
Mayberry to cause this phenomena ?Could Colonel Harvey's Elixir have been 
poured into Mayberrys water supply caused this ?Maybe Opie made a 4th wish ( 
Opies 3 wishes ) that none of us know about. You know he did have an eye for

Barneys Bulllet and the Shoplifter caper

2014-11-21 Thread Holland Shoaf
 This is probably old news but then may be theres someone here who could find 
this slightly amusing. By now such TAGS findings should be drug through the mud 
many a time. Anyway, watching the Shoplifter ep I see Barney arms himself with 
his pistol while going through the back door of Ben Weavers. Only after 
entering does he put his bullet in. 

Thank goodness Barneys theory ( which is not very pretty ) was wrong. Had he 
been correct about Ben, then Ole Barn would have been an easy target when 
coming through the back door at Weavers store. Ben could have attacked him with 
that bottle opener/umbrella

50 mph minus 45 equals

2014-06-06 Thread Holland Shoaf
Long time since I posted. Good to be back in Mayberry. Was watching the episode 
where the fun girls drove through Mayberry doing 50 mph  ( as Andy said to 
Barney ) . Later Andy told Daphne she must have been doing 45.  If I take the 
latter from the former and use a popular algorithm, I would bet by mid show 
they wouldn't have been found guilty of speeding at all  ( which was in a 20 
mph zone )!
 
Also it must have took them at least a few minutes to catch up to them , but 
were they still in Mayberry ? Did Skippy and Daphne do a U turn on the road 
somewhere and end back in Mayberry or were they in another town where our 
fearless crime fighters had jurisdiction there too? Surely Mayberry wasn't big 
enough that the chase started and ended inside the limits of Mayberry. Don't 
remember Palmerton Café in Mayberry. Doesn't mean there wasn't one.

A Face in the Crowd

2013-10-18 Thread Holland Shoaf
Finished watching A Face in the Crowd last night.
 
Strange movie indeed. I thought ( I will refer to him as Andy ) Andy's 
character lacked so much talent in comparison to the fame he received. It was 
way off balance. It reminded me of the movie " The Patsy " with Jerry Lewis ; 
how the staff of a deceased famous talented man tried to make a somebody out of 
a nobody just to keep the " family alive  and working ". Not saying that Andy 
was a nobody, he did have some singing talent ( not much ) and liked to ramble 
on but I thought when the senator was asking for some help from ( Lonesome 
Roads /Rhodes ) in appealing with the United States voting population was just 
a bit too much ! A jailbird and loner who was taken out of his element probably 
would have been better off living the lifestyle that he had before being 
discovered. I would go on about it, but no need. The movies message may have 
been (  you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear ). Again it was a strange 
movie but worth watching even if you didn't know who Andy Griffith was.

Shorted on the shortwave.

2013-06-24 Thread Holland Shoaf
In the color episode with the band of gypsies ( so wild and free ) the large 
shortwave radio  supposedly worked on batteries ( never seen one that big that 
works on batteries ). Being an amateur radio operator for 15 years doesnt make 
me the final word on that but I did take notice. 

It was interesting that when Goober held it at the end of the episode it 
worked. When Andy tried to turn it on, he found the inner working parts of it 
had been removed. The gypsies left town the moment their source of weather 
knowledge was found out.  Maybe it was " Behind the scenes Barney " that had 
chased them down and confiscated their shortwave. And why was the whole town of 
Mayberry being kept in the dark to the weather reports ( those that only a 
shortwave broadcast could reveal )? All I can say is the weather people still 
cant get it right !

ps. Always feel free to correct me on my insight. Sometimes I dont write about 
episoded until after many days of viewing them.

Extreme fabrications on TAGS

2013-06-10 Thread Holland Shoaf
Could this be the most extreme ( lets call it a fabrication ) on TAGS ?

Near the end of the episode " Mans Best Friend "; Goober tells Tommy (when 
Tommy is asking for the phone number of the man with a horse ) that HE DIDNT 
HAVE A PENCIL HANDY and told the number to his dog ( the one that could talk ). 
So Goober was asking Spot the dog for the number. Can you imagine Goober not 
having something to write with ??? Is there any other exteme " fabrications"  
on TAGS that you can think of ?
 

Also this is another momentary suspension of disbelief scene, I still like to 
point them out. Opie was explaining that the walkie talkies transmit button had 
to be pushed to transmit and released to recieve, it makes you wonder how Spot 
operated the thing !

Go easy on Emmett

2013-06-02 Thread Holland Shoaf
 

It was about 4 of the past few episodes I've watched ( I love my TAGS all 
seasons box set ) and Emmett was having a rough time on all 4.

1. Emmett is stuck between saving for him and Marthas retirement years and 
buying her a very expensive ( and not needed ) mink coat ; what did Martha get 
him ? 

2. Howard Sprague is having a swinging " singles " party and doesnt allow 
Emmett and Martha to come over ( but though not married, Andy and Helen are 
invited ). Well you see the party they missed out on huh ? ( Luckily Emmett 
crashes the party and shows em how to really dance ).

3. Emmett run for city counsel and right of the bat Andy , Howard and Goober 
take aim to find someone better fit. Yeh, Emmett takes offense and so did I !!!

and D... Emmett was having such a rough time with his brother in law and the 
new Insurance salesman job. Too bad they didnt have Paxil back in Mayberry , 
Emmett would be a good candidate for some !

I'll keep a close tab on the other color eps I see Emmett getting a raw deal.

Aunt Bea the Warden

2013-05-24 Thread Holland Shoaf
Good eyes Thelma Lou ( Janet ) for noticing the number of people in the squad 
car on Aunt Bea the Warden. I did a freeze frame of that car scene but it was 
hard to see with Andy flying down that dirt road. It obviously didnt look like 
5 people in the car. which would bring to mind some questions.

Interesting how Andy ( after having a fight to the point of bodily harm / and 
carrying a rifle ) could detain such villians in a car without the necessary 
detainment equipment. And I would love to see Andy detain these ornery 
moonshining men while he was getting his hand bandaged up at Dr Zacks.  Was one 
hand being doctored while the other was holding a rifle ?

 And why was Andy flying so fast down the dirt road for ? He already spent who 
knows how long at Docs. Malcom Tuckers not the only one that gets in a hurry in 
Mayberry !  I know I know, here I go again. Im a glutton for ignoring a major 
rule while watching TAGS; momentary suspension of disbelief. I wonder if Barney 
has a statute number for that  ?

For Pauls continuity error question.
 
Let me take a stab at your question. Could it be the belt packs on Andy's Belt 
being in one place in one scene and another place in a latter shot ?
Holland
 
REF: make a game out of it. It happens during the first five minutes of "Aunt 
Bee the Warden" and here's a hint, it has to do with police equipment. Put in 
your DVD (season two) or find the episode on Netflix and see if you can spot 
what I'm talking about. If no one gets it I'll give the answer in a couple of 
days.

-ALSO

In the scene with Andys hand being wrapped up. I think its my understanding 
that Andy hurt his hand when he punched a wall in his house during an argument 
with his wife. If so I have to say better this than hitting her with a leg of

 If there was ever an audit, Andys numbers and Malcolms pounds, shillings,

food talk

2013-05-19 Thread Holland Shoaf
With all the food talk going on here, I was compelled to watch " The Mayberry 
Chef " episode.  I was going to surf the scene ( chicky baby ) for food dishes 
but then I got kinda ill at the portrayal of the masculine genders inability to 
live without a woman in the house via going hungry. The writers laid it on hard 
with Andy burning up the corn beef hash and cutting his finger on the tuna can. 
And then theres poor Opie resorting to vitamins for survival and even offerning 
his paw to pay for a meal at the diner. Well not only is reminiscing about food 
items from Mayberry fun, it may be interesting in conjuring up episodes where 
food played an important scene in TAGS. One of my favorites is Ernest T Bass 
passing the bread to Opie. This scene for some unknown reason is one of my 
favorites -

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f5hCdyGEYM 

Perfect timing with everyone at the table; Opies hands are down at his side 
before the heaving of the bread and the sense of complete suprise from Andy and 
Aunt Bea at the caveman like food transport system of Ernest T . You cant blame 
Ernest T here since he's probably not familiar with a dinner table to begin 
with !

---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."

Aunt B, a lady of your caliber should have never made such a mistake. Even if a 
loose pipe was found, overflow suds come out around the top/ lid of a washer 
correct ? If so, what was the reason the director had them come out at the 
bottom of the washer ? ps. I believe I saw Aunt B put ONE coin in the washer.

The law of numbers

2013-05-08 Thread Holland Shoaf
Shazam Harriet Browder for straightening me out on Barneys " string to camera " 
system on the Great Filling Station Robbery.Your right, even if the door opens 
inward OR outward the camera's shutter would be triggered. If it weren't for 
the # 4 eye loop near the stations door, the cameras shutter would not have 
triggered. I never debated about the subject but I have read about it here in 
the forum and replied to a certain post without going back to the clip and 
looking. Barney is a marvel when it comes to stringing up things. Just like the 
jails cell doors , Barneys eye loops are numbered first on the right and 
increase in number going left. Now for something I noticed when watching this 
video segment.Look at how the cans are stacked on the left and right of the 
camera ( the one that is secured with the famous screwdriver )  in the first 
shot, then look at the way they are stacked in the second shot of the 
camera notice any difference ? Also ( when will I ever stop ) , is it a 
coincidence that every one of the cans on the shelves are facing is such a 
fashion that the brand names can not be read ? Whats the chance that could 
happen after simply throwing cans up on a shelf ? HollandLexington NCLess than

Doug Johnsons find on the great filling station roberry

2013-05-02 Thread Holland Shoaf
Good find Doug! No surprise since I cant figure out what the screwdriver was 
used for.Good eyes and a mind DougHolland

Has anyone ever noticed that when Barney rigs up the hidden camera at the 
filling station he attaches the string to the camera and then ties it to the 
door.  Well, that's all well and good, but when he demonstrates it to Gomer, 
the door opens IN rather than OUT.  So rather than tightening the string and 
clicking the shutter on the camera, opening the door actually created slack in 
the string and couldn't have caused the camera to take a picture.  Always 
seemed kind of strange to me...

She was pretty insistent on having Barney take the car to a mechanic and being

Cheers, bottoms up and "skoal" ?

2013-04-30 Thread Holland Shoaf
 
Interesting word I learned today thanks to TAGS episode of Barney tags the 
governors car.  
Todays TAGS mystery word is skoal.  
At 20 min 14 sec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcxWDwGHb9M
Otis says cheers, bottoms up and skoal when someone takes a gulp from the crock 
( someone needs to clean that thing ). 
skoal (sk½l) interj. Used as a drinking toast. [Danish and Norwegian skaal, 
cup, skoal, from Old Norse sk³l, bowl, drinking vessel. See skel-1 below.] 
Interesting note that the audience laughs at the word skoal as though they all 
know what it means. Either they are all Norwegian or a laugh track is being 
used here. I choose the latter.

A lemon phosphate

2013-04-29 Thread Holland Shoaf
I was watching The Bank Job and noticed that Andy suggested to Barney he go to 
the drugstore and get a lemon " phosphate ". I looked it up cuz my young self 
never heard of it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospho_soda
 It appears the drink is used for a laxative. Maybe since this was a specialty 
drink at a drug store and not a drink that can be found at a restaurant would 
suggest that it definately is a drink used as a laxative. 
Question : Was Andy suspicious that Barneys irritability about the bank being a 
pushover had something to do with a possible digestive problem ? You know how 
sensitive Barneys digestive system is.

The Great Filling Station Robbery and the screwdriver

The Great Filling Station Robbery.
Whats the screwdriver for when Barney says " Screwdriver Gomer" ..
watch at 18 minutes 08 seconds - http://youtu.be/pv5_EXUTUzY
Some added notes for those who say its for the camera.
I would wouldnt think a nice browning type camera needed a screwdriver to get 
the film out and secondly even if the film was extracted from the camera with a 
screwdriver, why would Barney or Gomer do it ? You would take the film out of 
the camera in a darkroom. Knowing that there could be spiders in the darkroom , 
that would eliminate Gomer from doing it , and an old tramp would keep Barney 
out !

Notes on the Big House

2013-04-28 Thread Holland Shoaf
The episode is the Big House. The place is Mayberry. The names have not been 
changed to protect...  When Barney slams the two cops in jail, I 
notice he has the jail keys in his hand. He doesnt reach on the wall to pull 
the keys off the wall in this scene . Thats when # 3 and # 4 bad guys come in 
and one takes the keys out of Barneys hand.  ((See they were not in the cell 
DRAWER... or near the DOOR )).  Apparently Barney doesnt put them in the drawer 
which is what I " used to think" was maxium security. He carried them with him 
this time. 
Question : How many times has Barney or Andy kept the cell keys on their person 
?

Also Gomer has a few Christmas lights in his hand when he comes into the jail 
at the very end of the show. Did Gomer carry those few Christmas 
lights/ornaments into the jail so to fool Andy  into believing he had been " 
cleaning up the roof " ? Right after Andy comes around the building with the 
rifle you can see Gomers feet once again hanging over the edge of the building. 
He couldnt have been working with this feet hanging over the building. Which 
then would raise another question why would Gomer dump the Christmas 
decorations  over the edge of the roof when Andy called out his name ? There 
was no accident in this because the basket of Christmas decorations were not on 
the edge of the roof wall to be accidentally knocked over but they had been 
sitting in a chair ( a little below the edge of the roofs wall ) in a previous 
seen. Gomer had to have picked the basket up and then turn the basket over. If 
he knew to do this just after waking up from a nap, then I must conclude that 
Gomer DOES have eyes in the bottom of his feet !!!
I'm thinking too much. I need a vacation, maybe do some gardening and read the 
geographics.

Andys tall tales

2013-04-24 Thread Holland Shoaf
Being an avid motorcyclist I couldnt help but feel ill toward Andy pulling the 
wool over Barney's goggled eyes with the famous motorcycle story. Barney went 
from his bike being accepted ( via the new seat covering ) to losing it via the 
fake sign under the seat. Wow, Barney was hurt, he felt terrible Im telling 
you. I've felt his pain a number of times losing a bike ( Ive had many ) but 
only due to a wreck or resell. Barney ( dont look back ) had to live with 
knowing his beloved bike would sit on display and would probably never be 
ridden again.
Well its best for the people of Mayberry that the bike went were it did because 
Barney just about ran over Aunt Bee , and for her to want to string up a line 
and chop his head off would be a bit understandable.
I know its just a show but I would have like to see Andy come up with at least 
a half honest way of getting the bike away from Barney. O and this isnt the 
first time Andy made up such a story.  The Teddy Roosevelt war canon was a tall 
tale.  H, did Barney ever create such a story for Andy ?

Fairy stones

Someone sent a message to me and asked what fairy stones were on the sign in my 
pic   http://www.pbase.com/kippercat/image/149573877
I called up to the store and the proprietor said " you will have to come in and 
look ".
I thought that was typical of an answer any salesman would give.  He then went 
on to say they were stones that came from Fairystone Park somewhere between 
Woolvine and Stuart Va. Well Ive been to both towns but havent been to this 
park http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/fai.shtml ( stones

I suppose I will have to put it on my to visit list !
Thank you Larry in Lincolnton for asking me about the sign on the store. It 
didnt cross my mind when I was there nor did I look around in the store very 
much. I agree with you about the possibility that Earnest T Bass had a few of 
them in his possession at one time.

A picture from last Sundays motorcycle ride. 
http://www.pbase.com/kippercat/image/149793656  
I often get on my motorcycle and ride all around the Blue Ridge Parkway area.
This picture was taken on Squirrel Spur Road between Ararat and Meadows of Dan 
looking southwest toward Pilot Mountain. You can see Pilot Mt in the 
background. Mt Airy is somewhere between me and Pilot Mt.  ( I think I heard 
some bluegrass playing in the area ).
Along this road were two roads named Mayberry Church Road and Mayberry Creek 
Road. You should have seen me on my bike doing a double take when I passed the 
first road and then another when I passed the second one !! Later when I got 
home I looked them up on satellite view and discovered I was less than a mile 
from the Mayberry Trading Post (on the Blue Ridge Parkway) which  I wrote about

Pictures and video - Mayberry's origin

2013-04-08 Thread Holland Shoaf
Wonderful weather today for motorcycling here in the real Mayberry !
I took a few pictures of this old store on the Parkway not too far from Mabry 
Mills. VA
Of course seeing the " Mayberry " signs up from the Parkway, I had to stop and 
ask questions.
The lady ( proprietor)  said the area has been called " Mayberry " for 300 
years. I thought Andy came up with the name " out of his head " to reflect Mt 
Airy.  This had to be where he got the name  or its an astronomical coincidence 
!  And about 4 miles north of this store is Mabry Mill ( a very popular 
attraction on the Parkway).  Both these places are on the Blue Ridge Parkway. 
Mabry Mill is only 21 miles line of sight from Mt Airyh ?
 I wonder which came first Mayberry or Mabry and is there a connection ? Do we 
know if this area is where our beloved TAGS hometowns name originated ? Do I 
need to go up there an interview this lady some more or am I just late getting 
this revelation ?
8 pictures of the store start at .

click ( NEXT ) for next picture
A one minute video with the lady can be seen at ... 
http://youtu.be/d1BRWOwHs7o
( let me make a correction via the end of the video, the store may have not 
been there for 300 years but the area was called that for as long ). There may 
have been a building on that site for who knows how long. 
 Please forgive my motorcycles noise in the background, I left it running while 
in the store ( I could barely hear it while in the store ).

On the episode where Opie tries to win his pa an electric razor at the

the cord was gone from the rifle/s and I " think " I remember hearing Goober 
refer to the guns as 22's. Either way the guns didnt make what I would think a

Near Death Experiences for Andy

2011-04-19 Thread Holland Shoaf

I was watching "Barney gets his man " and saw where Barney about shot Andy in 
the chicken shed scene.
Andy is hiding behind a post, throws a rock at a metal can and startles Barney. 
Barney then turns around and shoots " aimlessly" in the direction of Andy. I 
watched the scene over a few times and would guestimate that Barneys bullet was 
in the proximety of 10 to 15 degrees off the direct path to Andys position.
 
Has there been any closer to death experiences for Andy than this one ? Andys 
been shot at several times but Im talking about situations where Barney about 
killed him.

3.2 percent and my response

2011-04-15 Thread Holland Shoaf

Thanks to all who wrote in about what 3.2 is. I assumed it was just that. 
Alcohol.
I was more interested in Otis's 3.2 drinking days. Evidently he started out 
with the mild stuff ( though still intoxicating ) and worked his way into the 
illegal moonshine ring. I could dig deeper and asked where he bought his beer 
back in his younger days if he was just that .. a beer drinker in Mayberry . 
Obviously he was a resident of Mayberry ( and Mayberry was a dry town/county ) 
since his first offense was in Mayberry. Wait  maybe the report Andy read 
was just that, his first offense in Mayberry at that time. Otis may have lived 
elsewhere and then once he moved into Mayberry found the spirits their were 
just as lively as Count Istavantaleky ( spelling ? ).
 
 
 
ps. I did not know that the book of Psychic Phenomona was missprinted on the 
book that Andy held in the episode of Opies 3 Wishes-

What does 3.2 mean ?

2011-04-11 Thread Holland Shoaf

Hi, I was watching a case of the punch in the nose - 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKB1vhAewYw
At 2:03 Barney says " a good bit of 3 point 2 too ( also ). Because of subject 
matter of the conversation, I would assume it has something to do with alcohol. 
  Could it mean 3.2 % alcohol ? Certainly Otis doesnt drink the water'd down 
stuff.

3rd shift in Mayberry

2011-04-11 Thread Holland Shoaf

Cerainly most of the good folk of Mayberry put the lights out early but then 
theres probably a few that stay out late. 
Who keeps law in the wee hours of the morning ?
Usually its Barney and Andy on Patrol during the day and even if that wasnt the 
case, we could guess that each one does an 8 hour shift, totallying 16 hours. 
Who works 3rd shift in Mayberry ? Who would chase down Otis on his cow if he 
was out later than usual and who would arrest Mr Darling and the boys while 
they were singing to Aunt Bee ?

Lexington and all its charms outpace even Mayberry

2011-01-24 Thread Holland Shoaf

Hi Mayberry fans ! I sometimes post here from time to time. Im an avid TAGS 
viewer and read the forum here often.
You will see at the end of every post I sign my name and city with the " less 
than one hour away from Mayberry " tagged at the end.
I live in Lexington and we have a circulation newspaper here called the 
Dispatch. Today that printed an article that got my feathers riled.
 
 
http://www.the-dispatch.com/article/20110124/COLUMNISTS/101244008/1051/COLUMNISTS?p=1&tc=pg
 
 
I overviewed the article and didnt see any reference to Mayberry, but its 
understood in the title someone is trying to draw contrast between the two 
places or draw attention to the article using my beloved Mayberry. I have lived 
in Lexington all my life and visit Mayberry ( Mt Airy ) not often enough. I see 
the charm in both towns but why one " writer " would take a poke at wonderful 
Mayberry just to draw attention to an article that doesnt include Mayberry in 
its story kinda takes the cake. Its as though all the nice things that were 
written about Lexington doesnt include Mt. Airy in any form or simularity. Our 
paper is owned by the New York Times if that tells you anything. I will write 
them a little something. I feel like Barney did when he wrote his resignation 
papers to the Esquire Club.

Bill Bixby and the flying celery stalk

2011-01-13 Thread Holland Shoaf

 
Theres always something that gets my attention when I watch the Bill Bixby 
episode when he ( Ronald Bailey ) comes racing through town.
When he said to Andy " Noones going to be hurt if we just drop the whole 
thing", and then he said " Sherriff, Maybe I better straighten you out "  as he 
was getting out his car. Both Andy and Barney just stood there. No one bullet 
drawn or anything. Today the man would have been tazed the moment he reached 
for his door handle. 
 
And a question-  Circuit Judge " Judge Parker" was to come in and try this case.
 
I know about zero when it comes to law but wasnt Andy the Justice of the Peace 
? Isnt that the same thing as a district judge... one that tries cases as 
wreckless driving as was in this case ? Or was it a hit and run which should be 
held in the criminal court system ? There was vegetables in the back of Ronald 
Baileys car.  There were a number of cases that Andy tried as a judge that 
included vehicles correct ?
 
Would yall help to clear things up for me ?
 
I could imagine Fletch behind Ronald Baileys Lawyer Mr Harrington saying " shut 
up boy " your going to ruin my chances of getting a new truck "
 
Well thank goodness, law and order prevailed once again in Mayberry.

He said he usually takes his deputy along when he goes there.
 
How many trips did Andy make to Raleigh with Barney ?

you remember Baked Alaska, its the new desert that came since it become a

originated at Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City in 1876, and was created 
in honor of the newly acquired territory of Alaska.
 
 
Not only does Barney have insight into Baked Alaska, he knew a little something 
about Giraffes getting hit by lightning.

Larceny ?

2010-08-26 Thread Holland Shoaf

Got your attention ?
Was watching the episode where Howard Sprague gets tricked by his study pal 
Tommy . Tommy cons Howard to stop studying with him by having him drive his sis 
to a dance hall. Howards there dancing too ! Andy goes to check in on Howard.
I got the biggest laugh watching Howard walking by Andy and unknowingly give 
him an "anybodys " hi on the initial face to face contact.
 
Back to Larceny.
 
At the end of the show Andys scolding Howard for forgetting his priority study 
plans and explains how Tommy is a smart boy and has alot of "Larceny" in him. I 
looked up the word and the only definiton I could find was the bad one we all 
know about.
 
That kid is a smart kid and hes got alot of larceny in him and he outfoxed you.
 
Whats your take on the word? Is my hearing going bad or am I going deaf ?

Come on now Opie, you knew you werent going to get all A's on that report card

Shouldnt Andy have questioned the A ? Certainly a good parent will be up to

Shouldnt have Miss Crump recieved an F in transcription ?

Did Andy go back to the courthouse ( after smelling her perfume on his collar )

1. Because he was going back to " be with her "

or

2. Because he knew Barney wouldnt be able to fight of the persuasion of a 
beautiful woman ?

The Cannon (11/22/1965) to B athing suit or not to B athing suit ?

2010-03-31 Thread Holland Shoaf

In the episode where Warren and Goober guard Raleighs Mobile Museum, it was 
rather strange to see the issue of a gal in a bathing suit being brought up. No 
big thing really until it was evident that Aunt Bees obvious displeasure in the 
idea was quickly brushed and then she quickly hushed. 

 

Was there any underlying story to this? It seems rather odd.

Bad Boy Bailey

2010-03-25 Thread Holland Shoaf

I want to thank everyone for replying to Andys comment about the " The fish 
isnt the only one that got away ".

 

I took a step back from the pier scene and view the rest of the episode as it 
was one long sentence.

 

I see the writer showing the reality of treating people with kindness. Kindess 
doesnt always produce fruit immediately. Some people are kind to others ( to 
get something in return ). But after a while Ronald B saw that Andy was a fair 
game player in other situations and began given in to being a fair game player 
too.

 

Pure genious in this episode.

 

Andys comment about " your a better man than I am " was a bit awkward sounding 
but he had to say something off the wall to spark Ronalds skepticism with his 
kindness.

 

I,ll say it again... pure genious in this episode.

What did Ellen Brown say ?

2010-03-24 Thread Holland Shoaf

When Ellen Brown the manicurists is explaining to Andy that she cant marry him 
at the very end of the episode, she says something I cant make out what it is.

 

Right before Ellen says " I will always have fond memories of you" it sounds 
like the words she spoke were not the ones she moved with her lips. Sounds like 
it was dubbed. I cant figure out what she said. The closest guess I can make 
out is she said " Although Im married to Pierre "... but we know she wasnt 
married but only engaged. Im real curious as to what she said.

 

 

ps. It was also nice to see that Andy was cleaning his pistol in this episode. 
Wonder if it was the same one he keeps on top of the china cabinet in the 
dining room.

Dismissing the Mt. Airy Connection

2010-03-19 Thread Holland Shoaf

I read at http://www.telovation.com/articles/andy-griffith-show.html that Andy 
often "dismissed" any ties between Mt Airy and Mayberry. It is under the 
subject (The Mount Airy Connection ).

 

Like the story says " there are too many similarities to ignore the Mt 
Airy-Mayberry connection ". So with all these similarities, why did Andy 
dismiss them to begin with? It took 45 years before Andy acknowledged the 
connection.  Was he just being humble or was their a bigger plan involved ?

 

It is very neat to read about how the residents of Mt. Airy resorted to 
renaming their businesses to ( anything TAGS related) to help with the 
declining economy.  Reminds me of the episode where the whole town of Mayberry 
goes "Hollywood"  when the Hollywood film crew comes to town.

 

 

If you would like to have your pic and appeal to TAGS posted at my website

mystery episode idea

2010-03-16 Thread Holland Shoaf

I was reading this during my downloading of the 2 Chairs no Waiting Podcasts.

 

Thought " how neat it would be " to have a group play out this mystery episode 
on stage during A Mayberry Days celebration !or have I missed the 
event already ???

 

Holland

 

 

Q. Were there any TAGS scripts which were written but never filmed?

A. Yes .Paul, I wrote one ..( I don’t know if other writers wrote any.) Our 
unfilmed episode was THE WANDERING MINSTREL, which I wrote with Ray Allen 
Saffian for the 1962-1963 season.. It featured a charming footloose guitar 
player we called “Wally Jordan.” ( based on an actual musician Andy had great 
respect for, Brownie Mcghee)

Andy had constantly spoken in praise of Brownie, so it was inevitable someone 
would write the story. We wrote the outline and then the fully completed 
script. Now the weird part. To this day nobody on TAGS can give a reason why it 
wasn’t filmed. It’s still a mystery.

If you’d like to read the script, it is printed in its entirety in Richard 
Kelly’s seminal book THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW .. Pickled Tink to hear from you.

Today in Mayberry

2010-03-13 Thread Holland Shoaf


My friend Mike and I decided to kick it a bit around Mayberry today. March 13, 
2010

First thing we did was enjoy a delightful porch chop sandwich at Snappy Lunch. 
http://www.pbase.com/kippercat/image/122706454

 

While eating there, a couple from West Virginia overheard us talking "Andy 
Trivia" and began chatting with us. Like us, their eyes widened at finding a 
fellow fan to share the

love of "anything Mayberry". Its like this every time you visit Mt Airy.

Now its off to see the new Andy Griffith Museum. Before we got there, we took a 
close look at the vandalized statue that has been in the news. 
http://www.pbase.com/kippercat/image/122706403

 You still can see some blue and red paint left on the statue. I heard the 
restoration has been miraculous compared to what it had looked like. I could 
only imagine what it did look like and dont think I want to see the "before" 
picture. Ok , on to the museum.

Their were so many unbelievably interesting things to see in the museum.

We spent about 30 minutes just within the first couple of steps past the 
entrance door.

One thing that I was interested in was a check written by Andy to some movie 
studio for about 18 dollars. It was on the wall in the very back.

I wondered why he wrote a check to the movie studio. I thought it should be the 
other way round. The attendant there couldnt answer it and said the check was 
up there only because of his signature. Maybe so, but I'm such a skeptic that I 
couldnt accept that. Certainly there is some story behind that check he wrote.

My favorite thing to see what the actual wooden chairs that Andy and Barney 
used in the show. I was simply in awe !

During our visit, I heard a deligthful Mayberry quote . 

A married couple who were both proprietors in one of the many stores we 
visited, were cutting up amongst themselves. The wife replied to her husband " 
alright # 3 .watch it "  Wow, these Mayberrians are really into this. 
Ive died and gone to Mayberry heaven.

Always an enjoyable visit at Mayberry.

ps. Heres is a large copy of a picture I bought. Ive made it into my desktop 
background. you may use it for something...

its not an emergency

2010-03-12 Thread Holland Shoaf

Im not coldhearted, cruel or insensitive. But Id like to know what you think , 
not about me, but about how NEWS/Stations will interrupt normal tv broadcasting 
for non public emergency news.

Holland

 

 

 

The story is 

http://www.digtriad.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=138736&catid=57

 

The situation was that Im sitting on my couch watching The Andy Griffith Show 
on WFMY here in Lexington NC and about 10 minutes in the show, WFMY interrupts 
the show at 5:40 pm to notify the public that a verdict has been reached in the 
killing of Winston Salems Police Seargant.A terrible terrible tradgedy and 
Im truly sympathetic toward all in involved, but couldnt WFMY have waited 20 
minutes to air this at the 6 pm news ? What could I do " Mr TV viewer " with 
this news that I couldnt have done if I had to wait 20 minutes more. I dont 
understand it. They done this with a small airplane crash once. Cars crash all 
the time and people die here in the triad constantly but the news doesnt break 
tv broadcasting for that.

 

TV Sensationalism is my answer.

 

 

 

Wonder if the adminstrator will let this one slip through .

Cave near the lake at Franklin County

2010-03-10 Thread Holland Shoaf

Reading my Mayberry 101 book..again.

 

The cave in the scene were Helen and Andy get trapped in ( and Barney came to 
the rescue) was all synthetic according to the writer. Man is that some good 
trickery ! 

The scenes in front of the cave are claimed to be very close to the Myers Lake 
which can be seen at the start of every show.

 

So is there really a cave near that lake ?

Andys Hand

2010-03-05 Thread Holland Shoaf

I have the answer here in Mayberry 101 book. But I have to find it.

I read the book but forgot. If I remember correctly Andy and his wife were 
having a tuf and he punched a wall in the house. A rumor for now till I find 
it. When I do I,ll type it out as its read in the book if yall dont turn me in 
to the copyright infringment dept.

Vandalized Statue and WHAT IF

2010-02-24 Thread Holland Shoaf

What if someone came into the Mt Airy Police Station and 

said " What yall didnt know was the Andy Griffith Statue was under my 24 hour 
constant 

surveillance and I hold in my hand the folder which contains the picture of 
said perpetrator that vandalized said statue. 

 

And you could see the Chief and everyone standing around anxiously peering at 
the folder as the pic is slowly drawn out.   And its the same picture that 
Barney took of himself in the great filling station robbery !!!

 

 

 

What do you think would happen to this fellow ?

 

If it was in Mayberry you might hear Andys """ welll " or " i got a right 
mind to arrest you " or "citizens arrest citizens arrest" or Barneys " Halt " 
!!!

   Any others ? 

 

Trying to make light of a unpleasant situation

email address

2010-02-16 Thread Holland Shoaf

I only touch base with TAGS forum ever so often and when I do I read 1 or 2 
interesting letters . I overviewed the disussion about removing or adding email 
addresses in everyones post due to unfortunate circumstances.

 

Why not leave it up to the member writing ?

 

Leave out the address in the headerfield per the administrator and allow the 
writer to add  his name and email address when he/she chooses to do so ?

 

When I post I like signing my name to things. An email address ? Wouldnt bother 
me to copy and paste that too in the letterhead . I dont write that often.
