Dinner At Eight
We just had our November meeting of the Wally's Front Porch chapter and had some delicious spaghetti. I think it had a secret sauce. After we all filled up we watched of course, the episode Dinner At Eight. It was brought to our attention by one of our club members that during each of the three dinners that Andy ate they had nothing on the table to drink. That got me wondering if that had been discussed here before. Was this just a blooper or what? I imagine Andy would have liked something to wash down all that food. Opie even said a peanut butter sandwich was better with milk. just curious. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Dinner at Eight
Well folks, my wife is in Florida, and I am home alone for three days. What I am about to tell you is the honest truth. Today is the first day Linda has been gone. A short while ago there was a knock on the door and my nice widow lady from next door brought me some supper. Guess what it was. SPAGHETTI There was even a bread stick and salad; which was the exact meal Goober made for Andy. And it was exactly eight o'clock when she came. And wouldn't you know Linda called while she was here. Boy or Boy have I got some explaining to do. The widow is a blond and is five years younger than I am.

Dinner At Eight
One of my favorite color episodes of TAGS is Dinner At Eight. I was in the kitchen deciding what I should fix for supper and decided on spaghetti. I turned on the t.v. so I could watch TAGS while I was cooking and there it was-Dinner At Eight!! We had a good laugh at our house because the meal I was preparing directly corresponded with what was on the t.v. There was enough spaghetti left for our lunches for the next day. My husband commented that he liked my spaghetti but was glad he didn't have to eat it three times!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Dinner at Eight
I saw the epilogue to Dinner at Eight for the first time last night. It makes the episode even funnier than it already is.. Aunt Bee returns the next day and talks to Andy. As she always does, she feels guilty about leaving him there. She thinks he is hungry and decides to cook him a spaghetti dinner. I laughed out loud. It was a real treat to see footage I had never seen before. This is extremely rare!

Dinner at Eight
I watched Dinner at Eight last night on DVD, and the recent comments about the episode were fresh in my mind, so I thought I'd offer my own thoughts. I, too, think it rather odd that Andy didn't just explain the mix-up to Helen. This would have diffused the whole situation. However, his approach, when you stop to think about it, is not really inconsistent with his character. Andy generally tried to avoid confrontation when he could, but would take that step when necessary. We are more apt to see Andy confront someone, though, when that someone is a MAN. Andy appeared to have a much more difficult time confronting WOMEN. Now, he usually didn't have any problem putting his foot down with Aunt Bee, but she was family (although he went to great lengths to avoid confronting her about her kerosene cucumbers!). With other women, Andy seemed to think that explanations would complicate, rather than simplify, any difficult situation. His approach was ignore it and it will go away. I think that's why Andy didn't explain to Helen that Goober didn't tell him about the dinner invitation and that he had already eaten two dinners because of Goober! He figured he would keep quiet, she would get over it, and the whole thing would blow over. We could probably come up with many examples, but here are a couple just off the top of my head: Andy didn't want to tell the fun girls to just go home, and he didn't want to tell Helen about these girls, which only made matters worse. Andy wouldn't tell Flora that he didn't want to date her until she forced his hand by kissing him in public, and he didn't explain to Helen what was going on, leading her to become jealous and angry. Can you think of other times when Andy avoided confronting a woman? I wonder how many we could come up with!
