Horsehair answers
Thank you Richard, Brian, Dennis, and Silva for your input. Great answers. Man in a hurry is my all time favorite episode. To me it encompasses every thing of what Mayberry is about such as friendliness. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

TAGS on bluray
Just saw an announcement on blu-ray.com that the complete series will be released on bluray on December 7th of this year. I have been hoping Paramount would eventually do this.

Ted Koppel Mt. Airy segment
I just watched the video about Mayberry and Mt. Airy and parts of it were good. However for the most part it was way too political. Ted Koppel tried to make this a hit piece on conservatives. That part was really disgusting. I am glad the people on the trolley car stood up to him and let their beliefs be made known. I always knew Koppel was far leftist so it did not surprise at all with what he tried to do. He should have left politics out of it. Mt. Airy is a great place and bravo to the people on the street car who love Mayberry. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Don Knotts in B&W episodes
It seems like Barney could have been in all of the first 5 season's episodes since he was such an important character. I think the writers could have written him in some way to every story line. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Alumni sighting
Saw Aneta Corsaut(Helen Crump)on TCM last night in The Blob with Steve McQueen. What was interesting was Ben Mankiewicz closing comments after the movie where he said Corsaut was best known as playing Helen Crump, " the prettiest girl in Mayberry. " I don't think so. This shows how little Mankiewicz actually knows about the TAGS other than the names of some of the stars. There were better looking women on the show than Helen in my opinion. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Thanks Paul, Harriet and Patricia for your input on this. I know there are other moments that I have not thought of yet. Great posts you all. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
My top 5 TAGS moments that get to me
Here are my top 5 moments from the show that make me tear up a little or get me a little emotional. 1.Andy on Trial-When Barney defends Andy by saying "This is a small town." 2.The Song Festers-When Gomer sees Barney softly singing the song inside the vacant . performance room. 3. Barney and the Cave Rescue-When Thelma Lou and Helen say that Barney is quite a guy after he becomes the hero in the rescue. 4.Man in a Hurry-(my favorite episode by the way)-when Malcolm Tucker starts to leave after his car is fixed and he looks at the faces of all those that are saying goodbye. Also the end shot of him falling asleep with the peeled apple core in his hand. 5. Floyd the Gay Deceiver-When Floyd watches the lady drive away and admires her so much. Andy in turn sees how much this means to Floyd. One additional-The Christmas Story-Ben Weaver singing Away in a Manger from the outside looking in. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
