Thank you for all the times you have made me laugh and continue to do so.
George signed a Mayberry book for me at Mayberry in the Midwest II. I had
such a great time.

George Lindsey Article

2012-05-08 Thread Gary Wedemeyer
I was just looking on the Internet (like a lot of folks have been doing 
for the last couple of days) and found this nice article about our 
friend George.




http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-george-lindsey-goober-pyle-20120507,0,1472663.story


For those of us who had the opportunity to know him, we will remember 
him not as Goober but as George, a warm, wonderful, caring person who 
allowed us to see the real man under the beanie. I urge everyone to read 
more about George and his life outside of Mayberry. It was an amazing 
life. Thank you George Jr. and Camden for sharing your dad with us. 
Thank you Anne for always being there and putting a smile on George's 
face. And from the heart, thank you George. You were one-of-a-kind. I'll 
miss you my friend.

I enjoy watching lots of the old TV shows.  George Lindsey had some very
good acting parts on shows such as the Twilight Zone  Alfred Hitchcock
Presents.  However, I think most of us will always remember him as
Goober!!!  What a legacy he left for the world to enjoy!

What Mayberry Means to Me by George Lindsey

2012-05-06 Thread Good, Don
What Maybe Means to Me by George Lindsey
(from Goober in a Nutshell BY Ken Beck and Jim Clark, 1995)

Mayberry is going to church on Sunday,
and then after church going to the drugstore for a cherry Coke.
It's sitting around the barber shop reading the sports page,
and getting a shoe shine,
and listening to Fred and Spooky tell their corny jokes.

It's goin' to the wrestlin' matches on Saturday night,
or maybe to the county line for a beer or two.
It's sitting in your car on Main Street watching the people pass,
when there's nothing else to do.

It's shelling corn and making quilts,
and sometimes there's a remnant sale.
It's getting a call in the middle of the night,
to get a good buddy out of jail.

It's book satchels and cloak rooms and notes from your mother
when you're late to school.
It's getting a basketball for Christmas, and practicing the Golden Rule.

It's getting one of those Parker pen and pencil sets
for high school graduation,
Or, if you're a girl, it's always Evening in Paris perfume.
It's being scared to ask that special girl to dance at the senior prom;
That happens every June.

Oh, it's trying to learn to smoke cigarettes and dip snuff and chew tobacco,
and you get so sick you think you're gonna die.
It's trying to get somebody to show you how to make a Windsor know,
in your daddy's brand new Sunday tie.

It's everything and everybody, and when you talk about it
you get that very, very special itch,
but the think that I like about Mayberry, most of all,
IT'S MADE OL' GOOBER RICH!


(Jim, I hope you don't mind me posting this. - Don)

Hey, Mayberry friends. I saw a great interview with 'Goober' on Ralph Emery 
last night from 1997. He talked about his career, his book and working on TAGS 
and Hee Haw. His favorite thing from the 'Griffith show' was working with Andy 
and Howard McNear. His favorite thing from Hee Haw?.the girls.

Such a nice and interesting man. (a real Prince.)

About being typecast as a country bumpkin he says Well, I am one.

He may be George Lindsey but he'll always be 'Goober' to me.

Hope everyone has a great Mayberry weekend.

I can't do William Holden, he talks like everybody else. Goober.

James Best and George Lindsey on Alfred Hitchcock

2010-07-31 Thread Ken Anderson
When we visited with James Best last week he told us he appeared in some of 
the old Alfred Hitchcock Hour programs.  I found one he was in this weekend 
and watched it.  It was a really treat because our good friend Goober was 
also in it in a rather dramatic role. The lead role was played by Mr. Haney 
from Green Acres.  If you would be interested in seeing it just go to 
www.hulu.com and search for Alfred Hitchcock's The Jar.   On a side note, 
today is our 40th anniversary.  Sure wish good old Newton Monroe would pass 
through town so I could do some shopping.  Thought about a septic tank, but 
we are on the city services so can't use that.

I just received notification that the Hee Haw Show featuring George Lindsey 
has been cancelled at the Crystal Grand Theatre in Wisconsin Dells, 
Wisconsin.  It was to be on November 11, and no reason was given for the 
cancellation.  Needless to say I am very disappointed as I was looking 
forward to seeing Goober in person.

Also I received notification that the Hawthorne Mayberry Christmas Village 
would not be shipped until December 3.  This too is a change, so not sure if 
those of us who ordered will be able to have all the buildings by Christmas. 
I would suspect probably not as they were going to ship them one at a time 
over a period of weeks. Again no reason was given for the change.

George Lindsey the Matchmaker

2006-05-19 Thread brodahaver
Some people have recently posted on WBMUTBB about the Howard and Millie and  
Goober and Sam foursome. In reality, at the same time, George Lindsey 
introduced  Arlene Golonka to her future husband. Was it 'Goober and the Art of 
Love?' 
No,  not really. They divorced shortly thereafter.
