Betty Lynn
Just returned from a nice weekend in Mt. Airy, NC. Got to meet and speak with Betty Lynn at the Andy Griffith Museum on Friday. She is the sweetest lady! Very friendly. Still has that "Thelma Lou" smile. There were probably 40 people or so in line, she took the time to speak with every one, sign autographs and have photos made. I mentioned to her that she is the first person I have met who was in a movie with Betty Davis. She laughed and told me how nice Betty Davis was and mentioned that she also got to work with Maureen O'Hara, Robert Montgomery, Fred McMurray and others. That was a memorable few minutes for this TAGS fan. Randy Perdue Sevierville, TN ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Re: Writer's blips
Subject: writer's blips "Has anyone else noticed how very controlling Helen could be and that Andy let her get away with it? I've been watching some color episodes that I taped recently and found this disturbing as I feel it is out of character for Andy. When she was first introduced to the show she was rather a humble, lady-like woman. However, even tho Andy should've been more forthright, in the episode where he had to confer with the lady attorney in Raleigh, she is downright nasty and not the least bit mindful about embarrassing Lee Drake and then very snide at the end. Again, in the episode where she wants to get Howard and the new nurse together, she is flat-out demanding and mean to Andy till he caves in. And why didn't she reveal her scrape with the law in Kansas City to Andy before he had to inadvertently discover it for himself? I feel these instances were poor mistakes made by the writers fumbling for new storylines. Just my two cents worth. Aunt Bee of Orlando" I agree. Helen is my least favorite character on the show. She is not very "Mayberry-like". Have you read the book "Andy and Don"? It appears that in real life Andy allowed himself to be dominated by demanding women, including Aneta Coursaut.

To spank or not to spank
Val, I am a dedicated TAGS member and have even discussed this episode with my 2 kids (b-15, g-11). I will, at this time, only spank them if they tell a lie. Otherwise, I take favorites or privileges away when they misbehave. This has worked really well with my 2 children. Keep in mind, before I spank them I allow myself a cooling off period (10-30 minutes) before I dish out the punishment. This way I don't spank them in anger. It's interesting to note that my son and a few of his buddies have watched this episode and they all commented that there parents would have done the same thing. That's my take on this. Have a Mayberry Day. Randy "Rafe Hollister" Davis 1. Sensitive Topic: To Spank or Not To Spank? ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Hi Fellow Mayberrians! Tonight I was watching an episode where Opie's new friend was so used to having his way, and as a result, he usually got what he wanted from his old man. He then taught Opie what to say and how to act up in order to get his way. But, of course, Andy didn't fall for it. By now you know the episode, right? The little boy disobeys the law by riding his bike on the sidewalk even after Barney told him not to do it again. after he disobeyed again, Both Barney and Andy decide to take the bike away from the kid. Later in the show, the little boy's father shows up to get the bike back from Andy. To the little boy's surprise, the father decides to take Andy's advice and take the little boy out to the woodshed and give him a spanking. How do you feel about this? Of course, I do understand that most of us really love the TAGS so much, but in today's society we may not always agree with certain things they did back then. I am a newbe here at TAGSRC, so if this has been discussed before or if you are too sensitive about this, please do not respond. Not looking for a debate, just a simple opinion.

Good Day my fellow Mayberrians. I was watching Ange and the boys the other night and saw Andy himself step out of the office with Barney smoking a cigarette.

It's so refreshing to him them laugh at Barney antics. I usually hear the comment about how they wish there were shows like that on TV now and how the lessons of the show apply to their life now.

Rafe
I didn't mean cause a big milange. I just wondered if anybody else had noticed. I wanted to make sure, so last night I pulled out my brand new boxed set of DVD's and played that part over and over until I came to the conclusion that Rafe was really saying, "Hal, that's me!" I don't know what "hal" means. It could be a contraction of "huh well" with a little Mayberry twang. I'm sure it was not anything naughty, though. We all know that's just not possible in Mayberry. That would be just "crude talk" as Gomer would say. And besides, if Rafe had used a bad word, his face would have become colored like in that movie "Pleasantville."

Rafe Hollister expletive?
In the episode "Rafe Hollister Sings", has anyone besides me ever noticed the word that Rafe uses when he tells Andy that he is the prisoner that Andy says was released without getting his new suit of clothes? It sounds awfully close to "_ell, that's me!" I think I hear an "H", though. Growing up, I used to hear people begin a sentence with " ell " as in " Ell let's go." They probably used " ell" instead of "well." But I don't think that's what Rafe said. It's not offensive but I was wondering why it wasn't censored in 1963.

Re: Funniest Episode
One candidate for funniest eoisode has to be "Opie's Charity". Opie gets off a lot off funny lines when he and Andy are talking about poor Horatio the half a boy. And the scene with Andy and Tom Silby at the cemetery talking about Tom's funeral is hilarious too. Any episode with Gomer probably ties for first place though. I think the funniest instant in any episode was when Andy drove away on Barney's new motorcycle and the camera cuts to Barney sitting in the sidecar by the curb with all the old timers rolling on the sidewalk and doubled over in laughter. I envy people who see that for the first time. Randy Moffett Gardendale, Alabama - Yahoo! Photos Showcase holiday pictures in hardcover Photo Books.

Who would you date in Mayberry
A tough question to answer. I borrowed Gomer's bucket to give it a think and here's what I came up with. I think I would have asked Miss Peggy out. I would take her on a picnic to Myer's lake.There we could paddle around in a canoe or row boat and relax. We'd have to find a remote spot of course to keep Barney from inter loping with us. Afterwards we would take a quiet walk in town and maybe get a cup of coffee at the diner. From there I'd walk Peggy home and serenade her with a few songs while I played the guitar. Maybe if I was lucky we'd hold hands and if I was really lucky I'd get a kiss on the cheek before leaving to go home.

My mother was a telphone operator in the small town of Linton Indiana for many years. As a child I remember picking up the phone hoping to here my mother on the other end say number please. There was sometimes more than one operator on duty so I didn't always get her. I remember her telling me not to do that. But I know she liked it when I did. I haven't lived there for many years but this small town will always be my Mayberry and I go back there as often as I can. I was looking through an old 1959 yearbook and saw the number of the local dry cleaners thr phone number was 5. It was in the ealry 60s when automation put dials on our phones and closed our local telephone office forcing us to move to a larger town that still had operators. to this day Linton is my hometown my Mayberry.

Just thoughts
I saw the episode last night where Bernanard P./Milton/Oliver Fife actually says "Who's been messing up the bulletin board?!" It's Roger, the lawyer sent to get practical law enforcement experience who is a stickler for rules and statistics. I've haven't seen a color episode in ages, so no Emmett or Howard for me in a long long time. Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Mr Wheeler lousy pick
Horrible pick for Aunt Bee. He was a lazy goldbricking freeloader! Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Color Episodes
TV Land is showing color episodes right now. I know a lot of people don't like them, but several of them are quite good. It's nice to watch them as they are so rarely shown. Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Man in a Hurry and Mr. Foster
I just saw the Foster's Furniture Polish episode (color) for the first time in decades. I'd forgotten that the same man who played Mr. Foster also played the Man in a Hurry. Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
HS graduation year
Ever notice that two years are given for Ange and Barn graduating high school? In a B&W episode it's 1945 but in the color episode "The Return of Barney Fife" the banner at the dance says 1948. - Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Gold Shipment Misdirect
Ever notice in the gold shipment episode that they say it's coming from Denver (CO) and going to Fort Knox (KY)? Then why would it go through North Carolina? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Biology in 1938?
In the episode where Andy delivers a baby, Barney says something like "Mrs. So and So's biology class in 1938"? Uh, they would have been in grade school then. Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
{Spam?} Run Silent, Run Deep (1958)
Pat Colby who plays the young man who is suspected of robbing the gas station, but is cleared when the electrifies the cash register, has an uncredited role as a submarine crewman in Run Silent, Run Deep. Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Maps on wall
In an episode I don't recall the name of, there is a map of Montana on the wall. In episode 26 "The Inspector" there is a map with all of Idaho, some of Montana, and some of Wyoming on the wall. This is the one where the inspector is a stickler for details. Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
{Spam?} The Gold Shipment
Did you ever notice the route of the gold shipment (Denver-Maybarry-Fort Knox) makes no sense? That's a lot of unnecessary driving. Randy in Virginia ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

{Spam?} Otis Campbell related to Charley Foley?
On Otis's wikipedia page it says he's related to Charley Foley. How are they related? Randy ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
favorite TAGS episode
It is so hard to choose just one favorite, but the ones at the top of my list are: The Pickle Story, Barney and the Choir, Aunt Bee the Warden and from the color episodes, Dinner at Eight. Also, I believe that the episode where Barney attempts to recite the Preamble to the Constitution is called Opie's Ill-Gotten Gain. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Trivia
Is the answer to your trivia question Howard Sprague? In the episode Howard the Bowler, I seem to recall him getting out of bed and getting a book. I don't remember everything he said but I do remember Howard reading a line that went something like "What's more, you'll be a man my son". I don't know my poetry well enough to know if this is the right answer or not. Hmmm.maybe I should put a bucket on my head and think about it. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
wrong time
I think the reason Andy gave Opie the money at 3:00 and didn't wait until 3:05 was of a comment that Barney made. Andy had wanted to give Opie the money at 3:05 and Barney commented that "he's been here five minutes already" so Andy said that Opie could have the money at 3:00. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Marines Hymn
The school where I work part time is hosting an assembly tomorrow for area Veterans. The high school band and choir will be performing patriotic selections as a part of the assembly. I was rehearsing with the high school choir yesterday and a portion of one of the songs they are singing includes a part of the Marines Hymn. When I am at school working with the students, I take my job very seriously. However, as they started singing the words of the Marines Hymn, my mind immediately wandered to TAGS and the episode where Gomer marches into the courthouse singing the Marines Hymn to Andy. I couldn't help but smile. Later, I explained to the choir director the reason for my smile and she too thought it was funny. I think what makes me smile the most about Gomer's singing is the way he says "Montazumer". ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Snow in Mayberry
It is snowing here today where I live and it got me thinking about Mayberry and snow. I wonder if Ernest T. Bass would throw snowballs instead of rocks if Mayberry got a bunch of snow. Ornery as he is though, he would probably still throw rocks but hide them in a big snowball!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
