Barney & Thelma Lou
While watching a local program today the host was interviewing Tuwanda Coleman, who is retiring from co-hosting another local show. Retiring after 41 years at News Channel 5 in Nashville. Ms. Coleman was talking about doing interviews with Don Knotts and Betty Lynn, she said she loved watching The Andy Griffith Show. She said that was one of the biggest thrills of her career.

Barney goes to war...then he graduates high school
> If Barney graduated in 1945 how could he have served in the Army in WWII??? You aughta know…Barney was ahead of his time. He explained that over and over again. 😊 Harriet, the chicken thief ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Pets names.....and Barney in the army
First, to those folks who wrote in with all those TAGS names for their pets - thanks for sharing that - especially Ben from West Virginia. Really clever and fun to read. As far as Barney being a WWII veteran - I'm pretty sure during "Quiet Sam" in Season 1, they talked about serving in the Army during the Korean War - which definitely would fit the timeline for graduating in 1945.

Barney in WW2
Barney could have graduated from high school in May 1945, immediately volunteered and served until the war ended in Sept. 1945. Similar for Andy since he said he served in France during the war.

RE: Barney Fife (Janine L Johnson)
Got a nice surprise today. I had left the family room, went to the computer to do some things and heard a familiar voice from the tv, unmistakenly that of our Barney. I went back into the tv room and found him guest-starring on a show from the early 90s I believe called Step by Step. What a pleasure to see him in uniform again!

I just read about that big armored truck robbery last week outside of Los Angeles - wow. The two guards went into the restaurant for a bite to eat with nobody covering the truck during their break. The thieves broke into the truck and took millions in jewelry and gold. If Barney, Gomer, and Andy were on duty it never would've happened. P.S. to Elizabeth in GA from last week: the first person that came to mind as a returning "guest" was Jon Lormer (a/k/a Parnell Rigsby, Tate Fletcher, and Fletch Dilbeck) - he was very good in all those roles.

Barney reciting the preamble to the Constitution
While watching Andy holding the book on Barney while he recites the Preamble, we are all aware of Barney's hair. It came to me that since they only used one camera they had to shoot the same scene several times. The hair was a side effect of this method. I'm sure that side effect is what caused many of the visual mistakes we have seen throughout the show. I think it also added to the humor for us now.

While watching "Dogs, Dogs, Dogs" this morning, I noticed that after the "giraffes are selfish" scene, wgen they return from retrieving the dogs, Barney doesn't have his badge on, and it's missing for the remainder of the episode, until the epilogue, when it's back on. He's wearing it during the giraffes scene. You can also clearly see the outline of a pack of cigarettes in his pocket. I'm really surprised the state inspector didn't notice.

I enjoy the different list of episodes members come up with. So here is one I was thinking about. Something that you would think would rarely happen seems to happen to Barney quite a bit. That is getting accidently gassed ( as Andy would say). Some episodes off the top of my head: When Barney met the governor, When he was asked to leave his boarding house, when Ottis sued the county, When the Darlings tried to marry off Opie, I believe the episode where Opie and his friends were accused of burning down a barn.

Andy and Barney Early Jobs
According to TAGS episodes, we know that Andy and Barney grew up together in Mayberry and then graduated from Mayberry Union High. We also know that they both served in the army. However, then we know basically nothing about what either of them did until they were in the sheriff department in 1960. Of course Andy had gotten married about five years prior to that and had been sheriff for a short time, but there is about a ten year or so time span that is unaccounted for. So my question to you is this. What kind of jobs do you think Barney and Andy had between the times that they were in the army and when they joined the sheriff's department? I don't recall this ever being discussed before. I imagine they both returned to Mayberry when discharged from the army, so what did they then do? -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Although I am not citing specific episodes without Barney (there are many excellent ones!)

A little sixty watt bulb can really heat up a room. If you give truckers 40, they will take 45, and if you give them 45, they will take 50. The first words of Accapella are Acc A Pell A. The way to fight fire is with fire. Always wait for the Official Verification before doing anything. The sling shot David used to kill Goliath was made from an inner tube. Birds talk to each other just like people do. To sell newspapers you need to broaden your scope. Giraffes are selfish. Don’t ever say you have your girl in your hip pocket. Latin scholars didn’t sit around talking about bugs. The Emancipation Proclamation was written by some folks who wanted to be emancipated. If you shot yourself in the chest, it would smart.

favorite show w/o Barney
I am trying to decide what black and white TAGS without Barney would be my favorite. Of course, I prefer the ones with Barney, but there are some good ones without him. I am thinking the family visit with Uncle Ollie and Aunt Nora as one of my "without Barney" favorites. But, I can think of a couple of others, too. Mr. Goss at the cleaners going out with Aunt Bee, or the one with the broken freezer-"Call the man!"

Barney Runs for Sheriff
Today I watched an episode from Season 5, Barney Runs for Sheriff. In that episode Andy is contemplating taking an executive job offer from his friend Ed Crumbpacker. I find it very odd that Andy does not file a petition to run for Sheriff before he is offered the executive job from his friend. It seems that Andy was "putting the cart before the horse". Andy could have easily withdrawn his petition, if he was indeed offered the executive job. For Andy to assume he had the job and not to complete a petition for Sheriff was really strange considering Andy is normally very analytical when it comes to decision making. I hope all our WBMUTBB subscribers have a very Merry Christmas and a joyous and prosperous New Year!

Barney Gets His Man lighting issue
Being a trained noticer, I saw the episode Barney Gets His Man the other day on WDBJ Ch7 in Roanoke VA and I happened to notice a weird lighting effect. I think it's from one of those reflecting panels TV uses to direct the sun into the shot and take away shadows.

One of my all-time TAGS favorite episodes is Barney and the Choir. In my opinion, it's one of the funniest episodes on TAGS. It's also filled with great music, as long as Barney is using the "very sensitive" microphone that Andy provided him. I also think one of the prettiest ladies I have ever seen on TAGS is in that episode. She is a blonde haired lady who stands to the right of Thelma Lou when the choir is practicing and performing.

Barney Fife Syndrome
Our local radio station this morning had a discussing regarding students having concealed guns on campuses. A caller was very concerned that there would be a lot of students carrying guns on campus who have the Barney Fife Syndrome, meaning that they have no business carrying a gun because they do not know how to use it nor do they have proper training.

Andy and Barney in the city (Where?)
A couple of things with regard to the Oregon discussion from earlier. 1. In the episode Barney and the choir same season but earlier episode, Andy refers to the wanted flyers from Raleigh. This establishes that their location is North Carolina prior to the City episode. 2. In the Big city episode he tells Aunt Bee they would only be gone for 2 days. 3. I recall from some trivia picked up somewhere that the map behind Andy's desk is actually of Iowa, showing that they would often just use props or backdrops that don't always exactly fit.

Barney' Chants
I don't get on here very often and I don't claim to be a top notch "Trained Noticer."But what I discovered yesterday may be the mother lode of Notices.I was watching my DVD episode of "The Jinx"...where Barney claims Henry Bennettwill ruin the fishing contest if he goes with Andy and Barney. In the episode barneyrecites three supposedly good luck chants. "Come fish come, come fish come, Sam's at the gate with a frosted cake, Come fish come" "Fly away buzzard, fly away crow, way down south where the winds don't blowRub your nose and give two winks, and save us from this awful jinx" "Wink'um Pink'um, nodamus rex, protect us all from the man with the hex." Now knowing Barney he wasn't superstitious, just cautious. But I think if we reallystudy these chants we can see it wasn't Henry Bennett being a jinx but barney's chantsthat sunk Andy's boat. Notice the first chant it has 13 four letter word...13=an unlucky numberNotice the second chant it also has 13 four letter words...13=an unlucky numberNotice the third chant it has 13 words...13= an unlucky number So it wasn't the jinx of Henry Bennett that sunk Andy's boat it was the three (un)luckychants by Barney Fife.

Dave Ramsey/ Barney Fife
A few days ago there was a Mayberry reference on The Dave Ramsey Show. If anyone is unfamiliar with this program, it is a radio show where folks call in with questions about money. A caller wanted to know Dave's opinion on homeowners' associations. His response was that most of the time they're fine, but once in a while you'll get one with a "Barney Fife" in charge, in other words, someone who abuses their limited authority and makes everybody miserable with their nitpicking attention to every minor regulation. I wonder what Dave would think about the financial habits of certain folks in Mayberry? Such as Barney trying to sell real estate, Aunt Bee trying to save money by buying a large quantity of beef, or a stranger turning up with a treasure map trying to convince locals to invest in his scheme. Paul Mulik Well Paul, I give Dave kudos for calling him Fife instead of Fice for starters. Secondly I suspect Dave's council to any of them would be "get out of debt first and foremost". ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Besmirching Andy and Barney
Yesterday I posted a reference to Mayberry that was in a mystery I am reading. Well folks, I am about to the end of the book when another reference to Mayberry appeared. And this one really has me tensed. The author actually besmirched the sheriff's department of Mayberry. Here is the exert. "You think I'm killing those people?" I asked. "Zero possibility." The definitive answer surprised me. "Why?" "Who do you think you're dealing with, Mayberry PD" Now if that isn't besmirching the good name of Andy and Barney, I don't know what does. Now if that author ever shows his face here in Eau Claire, you can be sure I will challenge him to a duel at high noon.

Barney Cracks Another Walker Robbery
Just heard over my police scanner that Barney has cracked another robbery case at Walker Drug Store. It appears a man was apprehended yesterday afternoon after Miss Ellie called Barney to say she notice a great deal of hand soap was missing. Turns out the perpetrator Barney arrested was a klepterminerac with a hand washing compellsion. When asked why he stole the soap, the robber said, "Cause I am rotten." Now here is a true story. At the supermarket where I work we have a regular customer who comes in about every two weeks. The only thing he eve buys is shampoo. He always buys between 20 and 30 bottles each time. I asked him once if he buys for a group home or another facility and he said no that he uses it all himself. I am serious, he does this every two or three weeks all year long. Now he definitely must have a hair washing compellsion. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Andy & Barney cousins
>>>But peoples answers brought up a question. I know Barney referred to Andy as >>>a cousin on the first episode but never again, right? I wonder why.<<< I saw an interview one time with Sheldon Leonard, the producer of TAGS. He was asked about this, and his answer was that it was just a throwaway line used strictly for the joke that this scene was building up to (Barney thanking Andy for hiring him as his deputy in the first episode). Mr. Leonard said it was only mentioned that one time and then forgotten about. However, he obviously didn't recall that it was mentioned in a couple other early episodes. So it was stated more than once, but I don't think it ever came up later in the series. It would seem, based upon remarks both Andy and Barney made, that past the first season, we were to think of them as only good friends and not relatives. In fact, in one episode I believe they say that they had been friends since fourth grade. If they were cousins, they would have known each other since very early in life, I would think.

Scene with Andy and Barney in squad car
I'm watching "Man in the Middle" from season five, and I just noticed something. There's a scene where Barney is picking Andy up in the squad car in front of Andy's house, and Andy tries to patch things up with Barney over the argument they had concerning Thelma Lou and Helen. They sit in the squad car and talk with the doors closed. However, when the camera moves in tighter, it's apparent that it is shooting through an open door, not through the window of a closed door. If you look carefully, you can see the inside edges of the door frame, and on Barney's side, you can even see a little bit of the open door in the top left corner. So, when the camera is on Barney's side, his door is open and Andy's is closed, and when it's on Andy's side, his door is open and Barney's is closed. But, of course, the viewer is supposed to think that both doors are closed the whole time. It's a very minor thing, but I just never noticed it before now, and I'm always excited to notice something n ew on TAGS.
