Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 24, Issue 92
"Tonight the episode:? "Class Reunion of '45".? If Barney graduated in 1945 how?? could he have served in the Army in WWII???GabeBoca Raton, FL" It's possible that he did what so many others (including my dad) did ... they left school to serve in the war, then finished high school after they were discharged.

Someone you won't see on screen but is "in" that movie is Bob Saunders as the Asst. Director. He is a behind the scenes TAGS alumnus as the Asst. Director for 186 TAGS eps and all 78 Mayberry RFD eps. Jeff Wow, cool info. Thanks, Jeff! Reading back over my post, I see that I forgot to mention Lillian Bronson (Erma Bishop) who was also in "Christmas in Connecticut."

Sightings I haven't seen mentioned
I usually don't mention 'alumni sightings' because, knowing the caliber of the actors and actresses who appeared on TAGS, it isn't really surprising to see them in other shows of that era. I do, however, get a little kick when I see them in much older, or much newer, movies and TV shows. I have watched a few episodes (mostly from 1951-1954) of "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show" lately and have seen Parley Baer (Mayor Stoner), Tol Avery (Ben Weaver), Willis Bouchey (O'Malley and others), and Charles Lane (Mr. Frisbee). But the best were seeing a young Betty Lynn as Virginia Beasley (the daughter of the Allen's postman, Gracie was giving her a baby shower) and seeing Bob Sweeney, who directed 80 episodes of TAGS, playing the role of George and Gracie's new gardener. I have also been watching Christmas episodes of older TV shows and just today I saw Barney Phillips (escapee Eddie Brooke) and Parley Baer (Mayor Stoner) in a 1957 episode of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, George Petrie (safe-cracker Joe Layton) in a 1955 episode of "Ethel and Albert", and then Mary Treen (Rose and others) in a 1954 episode of The Red Skelton Show. Also, I finally watched 1945's "Christmas in Connecticut" for the first time and saw Dick Elliott (Mayor Pike), John Dehner (Col. Harvey), Walter Baldwin (the first Floyd), and Mr. Schwamp. Oh, and the next time you watch "North By Northwest" starring Cary Grant (JudyJudyJudy), see how many future TAGS actors and actresses you can spot. It is the most I have noticed in any movie other than the Don Knotts ones.

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 21, Issue 126
Netflix is canceling Tags because it?s about cops and it?s racist jaws that for a stretch I cancel Netflix John 3:16 Thelma Anderson That is how rumors get spread and it is NOT what we need these days (or any days). If you have been paying attention and reading actual reports instead of conspiracy theories, you would have known that all CBS shows have been being pulled from Netflix (pulled by CBS, not cancelled by Netflix) at the ends of their current contract terms with Netflix because CBS wants to air them on its own new streaming service. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Each question begins with a number followed by some initials. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out what the letters stand for. All of the answers have something to do with TAGS. For example, the answer to 2 C N W would be 2 Chairs, No Waiting.
