I agree with Harry, Convicts at Large is the best episode ever. That was a cabin-full of talent right there! The best part being what Harry said, "you're beginning to get to me". And Floyd's extreme case of Stockholm Syndrome "Better phone him, Al". I also like Jailbreak. that's the one where they figure it out because of dog hairs on the suits. Barney is so good in that, He goes undercover in the jail and says "yeah, you was sleeping pretty good when they brought me in. But I don't go easy (smacks fist into hand) got two of 'em". The best part is when Barney is in front of the station wagon hitched to the trailer. The woman starts it up and Barney digs his heels in like his body is going to keep the car from moving. I know my description doesn't do it justice. Better watch it, Al. Karen (sometimes known as Sharon) _ You keep typing, we keep giving.

Picking a favorite episode of TAGS is almost as hard as picking a favorite song, or a favorite child. I found 4 different polls and combined the results of each (1) a poll of TAGSRWC members several years ago, (2) a 40th reunion poll that I believe was conducted by TV Land (3) a poll of TAGS cast members - this was also for a TV Land special and (4) the current ongoing on-line poll at mayberry.com Of these 4 polls there were 9 different episodes mentioned in the top 10 for more than one poll. In each poll, I gave the #1 episode 10 points, the #2 episode 9 points, etc. Here are the results: #9 The Christmas Story (4 points total) #8 Barney's First Car (6 points total) #7 Opie's Charity (7 points) #6 Mr. McBeevee (15 points and mentioned in 2 different polls) #5 Convicts At Large (15 points and mentioned in 3 different polls - I used this as the tiebreaker with Mr. McBeevee) #4 Barney's Sidecar (18 points) #3 Man In A Hurry (29 points) And now (Drum Roll) the winners - a tie for first place - both mentioned in all 4 polls and both with 30 total points - "The Pickle Story" and "Opie the Birdman" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Favorite Episodes
My favorite episode was Convicts at Large. This showed off the great talents of Don Knotts and Howard McNear. I loved when Floyd looked over at Barney and said, "Dance with her Al". And of course when he kept time to the music with the banana, genious. The camera work in this episode was also excellant. The great shot of Barney standing and saying, "Let's you and me dance" to "Ralph" Henderson (Mrs. Poltice). And when she asks him what changed his mind, he lowers his voice and says,"You're beginning to get to me". I just love it. Of my DVD collection, that episode has definately been watched the most.

Favorite episodes
I have enjoyed reading the selections but I maintain it is impossible to choose a favorite episode in each of the first five seasons. There are too many exceptional episodes. When people ask my favorite TAGS episode, I say Man In a Hurry," but only because that episode so very well shows us the peaceful, gentle, humorous, considerate life of Mayberry. But I can think of three dozen B/W episodes of similar quality. I love the color episodes, but they are easier to grade: Season 6: Opie's Job Season 7: Dinner at Eight (I think this is the finest color episode) Season 8: Emmitt's Brother in Law Doug Gibson Ogden, UT - It's here!

RE: Favorite episodes
While my all-time favorite is often the one I'm watching at the time; if pressed to name one, I'll have to go with "Dogs, Dogs, Dogs." Next time you watch it, see how many familiar lines are in it. Ah, that's a good'un!

Least favorite episodes
My least favorite episodes are the one in which the Boone couple are always fighting; just breaks my heart to see a non-loving marriage; and Senior Play too. That whole premise of having to accept whatever dance craze was currently popular with teens as a public performance event is beyond me. What made it a play? Oh well, we know that despite being the greatest TV program ever, some of the writers suffered a few lapses in judgement and we can surely live with that!

I am a big fan of the show but I have to admit that I wasn't fond of any of the episodes that Warren was in. Nothing personal against him. Just didn't care for them. Rick Charlottesville Va Sent from BlueMail ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

I may be stepping on a few toes or break some rules but there are two episodes that I do not like. The one where Andy and Barney are practicing self defense against someone with a knife. The other one is when Barney gets frustrated when he recites something, I don't know what it is, and he messes up his hair. These two incidents took way too much to time to do in my opinion. Some people like it and some people don't. Count me in as someone who doesn't. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

trivia, rain and favorite episodes
I'm tickled to hear that Cheri's trivia event was such a huge success. I'll bet her next one will be a humdinger! I'm with most of you on the favorite season and episode question. It's hard to pinpoint just one as almost all of them were so wonderful. I'm still partial to Only a Rose due to Clara's magnificent gesture of friendship. As for rain, be careful what you wish for. Down here we have many citizens flooded out and wishing for a draught (not really)! Mother Nature has been messing with us big-time!!!
