I watched that episode this week, and as much as I like TAGS, I've always
disliked that episode, not for the fact that Thelma Lou married (frankly
Barney deserved it for abandoning her). But rather for Barney abruptly
getting over his grief because a woman he barely knew (Nettie) came on to
him. It's shallow writing and it makes it seem as Thelma Lou and all those
years together meant nothing to Barney.

I recognize that there are some huge TAGS fans in this area.  Additionally,
I also am a huge TAGS fans.  So much so that when my children were still in
their cribs (they are now 17 and about to enter college) I would play TAGS
episodes recorded on cassette tapes instead of lullabies.  I also remember
from the forum rules that we are to keep things positive and discuss the
better things regarding TAGS.  However...

First, let me say that I believe TAGS is the absolute best Television has to
offer.  Yet with that said, there is one TAGS episode that I will probably
not be watching again.

I happened to watch the above mentioned episode just last night on a local
cable access channel and was very disappointed in the story line.  I even
knew what was going to happen and it still aggravated me.  I will never
understand why this episode was written as it was.  The former gentleman's
remarks are absolutely correct.

The look on Barney's face at the very moment Thelma Lou introduces her
husband is without a doubt one of the lowest moments of any TAGS scenes. 

When I need an uplifting moment, I turn to TAGS.  This particular episode is
not very uplifting.  It is way to true to life.  I'll be stickin' to my
beloved B&W episodes.

Enjoy the forum...

I can't help it - I am partial to Nettie. Alberta Walker who played 
Nettie went on to play Flora Malherbe who was Goober's girlfriend in 
the color episodes. If Barn hadn't had a little chemistry with Nettie, 
then Goober might have never had Flora as a girlfriend! But I have to 
agree, it was a rather shallow flip flop for Barney
