Tim "Goober" Pettigrew
It is with great sadness that we let you know of the passing of Tim's Mom. (Darlene) She was 93 years young. She was a great fan of the Andy Griffith Show and enjoyed traveling with Tim and his sister to many, many Mayberry Events. She enjoyed meeting all of the other Mayberry fans and got to meet with many of the show's stars. She loved to go to Mayberry Days and looked forward to it every year. Over the years many of her sons and extended family attended with her. She loved Michael Hoover and never missed his show. We were so delighted when he was able to attend her 80th birthday party. It was one of her fondest memories. She made Tim's first goober beanie and shaped it over her bowling ball, and always made sure his white shirts were sparkling. We will miss our Mayberry buddy. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Goober waxing Howard's car.
I can understand why Goober waxed Howard's car. For one, I think he just wanted to give Howard a good send off and waxing the car is his way of showing his friendship and wishing Howard good luck.

Re: Where does Goober live?
Yes, that's the first time we see Goober's residence... RFD episode "Goober's Brother" (season 2). He lives in Mrs. Lowdermilk's boarding house. We see the boarding house again later that season in "Goober's Niece." His visiting niece is put up in the room next to Goober's. Brent -Original Message- Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 From: Paul Mulik Subject: Where does Goober live? do we ever see Goober's residence? I've been thinking and thinking (without a bucket) and I can't think of a single appearance, until Mayberry RFD.

Where does Goober live?
A day or two ago on one of the Facebook groups, the subject of residences came up, which got me to thinking: do we ever see Goober's residence? I've been thinking and thinking (without a bucket) and I can't think of a single appearance, until Mayberry RFD. There's a funny scene where Sam and Mike visit Goober, and a Mike is impressed by Goober's fishing trophy (mounted taxidermy fish), but it turns out Goober didn't actually catch it, he found it floating in the lake, dead. Anyway, someone said Goober lived at the gas station, but I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. For example, the first time we ever hear about Goober is in Man in a Hurry, when Gomer and Mr. Tucker are at the filling station. Gomer gives Mr. Tucker Goober's phone number, which implies that Goober doesn't live right there in the station. Then later, in Mind Over Matter (the one where Goober is convinced he has been seriously injured) when Aunt Bee drives to the gas station, Goober tells her, "I've got to go home, I've got to lay down right away ... I'll just go to my place," but Aunt Bee insists, "there's no one there to take care of you." So if someone can think of any TAGS episode in which we see Goober's residence or in which Goober mentions where he lives, please refresh my memory, which sometimes gets a little rusty these days.

Goober
As far as Goober wetting his gun sights, if you ever watch the 1941 movie "Sergeant York", Gary Cooper, playing Alvin C. York does the same thing. When they ask him why he does it, he says it cuts down on the glare. I guess that would take away any shine on the front sight. Orville Hendricks - Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man. I spent 34 years in the military, and every year I dreaded the rifle qualification weekend. I had bad eyes, and it was a terrible effort for me to pass rifle qualification each year.

I don't know why Goober does it but in the movie Sargeant York, Alvin did it. Said it cut down on the glare, helping his aim or something like that. But it also goes along with Goober's little schtick of how he'll say a line, giggle and poke at someone with his fist and pointed thumb. Almost like how our Jim Lindsey, James Best does his schtick in Dukes of Hazard.

Goober Beasley
"By the way I noticed that Andy introduces Goober as Goober Beasley to the tv producer for Sheriff without a gun but later on inthe series Goober gets the name Pyle. Curious, curious." David Oberly David, several years ago I had a close friend ask George Lindsey about that, because I had always wondered about it as well. George told her that sometimes Andy liked to use names of his friends on the show, and evidently he was friends with a "Beasley" family. Besides "Goober Beasley," there was Juanita Beasley, Barney's unseen girl at the diner. And one of the suitors Andy sent the way of Miss Ellie to " put her on the scent of other game" was Charlie Beasley. Maybe there was another reason, but this was Mr. Lindsey's take on it.

Remembering Doug Dillard and Goober
This is truly sorrowful news. We lost Goober just a couple of weeks ago, and now Doug Dillard. I was one of a privileged few who, through the generosity of our own Jim Clark and Allan Newsome, got to surprise Doug Dillard on his birthday, some years back (I think it was in the late 90's). We had a very pleasant and informative lunch there in Nasville, and the wonderful surprise on us with the appearance of George "Goober" Lindsey himself. Jim Clark gave us each this fabulous picture of the entire group including Doug and Goober, and it is hanging on my wall today. Thanks to Jim and Allan for that experience and to Doug and Goober for a lifetime of entertainment.

Unfortunately, I've never gotten to meet any of the TAGS cast members. Once, in the early 90s, George Lindsey visited Hugo, Oklahoma, a small town down the road from my even smaller hometown of Soper, Oklahoma, and the county seat of Choctaw County. I don't know why I didn't go see George. I'm not sure if I was still in high school or if I had already gone away to college. (College for me was never more than a couple hours away.) I do remember seeing George's face on the front page of the Hugo Daily News, his picture having been taken with the sign at Floyd's Barber Shop. I remember reading in the article that, of all the places he has performed, Hugo is the only place where he's actually seen a Floyd's Barber Shop. Nowadays the shop still stands, but it is called Robbie's Barber Shop, but I think ol' Floyd might still work a day or two each week. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

In the book "Mayberry 101", I'll always remember this story that George Lindsey tells. He said he had a hard time knowing how to play the part of Goober. He asked Andy Griffith about it. Andy told George that Goober was the type of guy that would go into the diner and say "This place has good salt." From then on, he knew how to play Goober. Also, he loved to watch Howard McNear act and would hang around just to see Howard play Floyd. We are enjoying seeing "Hee Haw" reruns on RFD-TV on the Dish Network. Every Sunday nite at 8 pm. George is in almost every show. So much fun to watch. They don't make TV shows like TAGS or Hee Haw anymore. Good clean fun. "Speed, speed, speed, that's all you ever think about."

Things I Learned About Goober from Mayberry RFD
Here are a few things I learned about Goober by watching Mayberry RFD. Goober's family owned the rubbish hauling business in Mayberry. Goober's older brother Braydon was a brilliant engineer who worked at NASA. Goober was given a job teaching Driver's Education at Mayberry Union High even though he never graduated from high school. Goober helped write a comic book story and received half of the money when it was published. Goober was the deputy and only law official in Mayberry after Andy left. Goober never talked over three minutes on the phone and used an egg timer to make sure. Goober owned a reel to reel tape recorder. Goober lived in the boarding house right next to his new gas station. Goober's life long ambition was to become an elder at the Mayberry Church.

Amazing Triva About Goober
Maybe everyone knows this anyway, but in 2006, Gene Roddenberry ( creator of Star Trek ), said that his first choice to play Spock was George Lindsey! George turned it down. Alsosomeone had mentioned about Goober saying he fished at the Warrior River. George is from Jasper, Alabama and the Warrior River runs though the west central part of the state.

Stuck on a deserted island-I'd have to go with Andy and the Guitar. This is because he would know how to survive, have fun stories, and be able to sing.

Goober
The other day someone was counting the number of different TV shows which specific Mayberry characters appeared on (not the actors, but the characters). George Lindsey did indeed appear as Goober Pyle in TAGS, GP-USMC, MRFD and The New Andy Griffith Show. On Hee-Haw, he was a mechanic called Goober, however I'm not sure if the last name Pyle was ever used. We watched that show fairly regularly when I was a kid, and it seems to me he was always just called "Goober." Back around 1970 or so, George did a pilot for a show called "Goober and the Trucker's Paradise Cafe" or something like that, but unfortunately it didn't sell. In it, he played Goober Pyle, and he operated a truck stop with his sister Pearl Pyle. No copies of this pilot are known to exist anywhere. If anybody should happen to have a lead on this, I'd love to have a look at this film someday. Last time I checked, George himself was trying to track down a copy as well. So anyway, if you count that one, then George played Goober in SIX different TV series. That's got to be a record.

Goober
For some reason Goober has been on my mind lately. I got to thinking today that Goober's name was mentioned twice on Andy before he was ever shown. In January 63 in the episode "Man In A Hurry" and again in October 63 in the episode "Sermon For Today". Then Goober first appeared in April 1964 in The Fun Girls. I know that there were a lot of people mentioned on Andy who never appeared, but does anyone know of another character on Andy whose name was mentioned before they appeared? I mean several episodes previously, not a few minutes previously. Also on the subject of Goober, I was reading a trivia book that asked which character appeared in 3 different shows using the same name. The answer was our old friend Malcolm Merriweather. He appeared in Bewitched, Tabitha, and in the soap opera Passions using the name Dr. Bombay. But then I got to thinking today that George Lindsey has appeared in 4 shows using the name Goober Pyle. He appeared in Andy, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C., Mayberry RFD, and he also appeared for one episode in The New Andy Griffith Show using the name Goober Pyle. I guess a lot of people would count "Hee Haw" as well, but I do not think he used the name Goober Pyle in that show. Everytime I saw him they refered to him as George Lindsey. So take that Mr. Smart Alec Trivia Book. Orville Hendricks - Peddling Butter and Eggs. My name is the answer to a trivia question about Andy. Which character appeared the least number of times on The Andy Griffith Show? Answer: Me (1 time, tied with about a thousand other people). ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

RE: Goober and the car in the courthouse
>In the episode "Goober Takes a Car Apart",what "safety point" did Sheriff Jackson think the car in the courthouse was bringing across? Possibly the point would be to make sure your foot is on the correct pedal when backing up (from inside the court house the car was facing the front door). Here in Florida we have SOOO many people suddenly driving thru store fronts when they thought their foot was on the brake. Personally, I think Andy was using the Safety Week issue to justify having the car inside the courthouse. No real point, just an association. If you notice, it takes the 'interlopers' a few seconds to "get it". Wether they do or not, doesn't matter. He bamboozled them with the stark realization of a car actually BEING INSIDE the courthouse and it fit Andy's point-thinking.

That maybe one of those things we have to figure out for ourselves. Personally I think opening the courthouse door, walking inside and suddenly seeing a '58 Rambler staring you in the face, emphasizes the point that you need to watch where you're walking and be aware of your surroundings, since cars can often come out of nowhere. Kind of an odd way to make the point but you have to admit it's eye-catching and memorable. Dixon ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Goober Beasley
Jon, You'll probably get lots of responses to this. Goober was first introduced as Gomer's cousin Goober Pyle. Then in the episode "TV or Not TV" Andy mistakenly introduces Goober to the would-be bank robbers as Goober Beasley. That was the only instance in the entire series where Goober's name wasn't Pyle. I know because I was there sitting on a bench, smiling and nodding with a nice rug on. Mr. Schwamp >--- Got to wondering today.

Double Trouble with Goober
Double Trouble with Goober was a short-lived comic book from the early 1950s. It was about a little boy who got into mischief, and it was obviously inspired by Dennis the Menace. The Goober in this comic book wore a beanie just like the one Goober Pyle would wear about ten years later; this could hardly be a coincidence. A number of years ago I gave one of these comic books to George Lindsey, and he said he'd never heard of it. I'll bet that one of the producers had though. George said the way he understood it was, the idea for him to wear such a cap came from real filling station mechanics who worked under cars on lifts, and that the upturned brim all the way around the cap was to keep oil that dripped on the mechanics head from running down onto his face and neck.

Goober in Church answer and other mysteries
>>We saw Gomer in church, but I don't recall seeing Goober. Thanks, Silvia<< ? I don't know why, but folks don't answer my post questions :-( ? Sylvia..I did answer your question a few days ago, and speculated a little as well. I believe Goober, like Thelma Lou is never seen in church. This is due in part to the fact that most of the church episodes were during the Gomer era. There are two missed opportunities for Goober though. The Organ episode and the Church Benefactors (where the building slopes to one side) Therefore, my theory below I think Goober went to the Methodist Church where Thelma Lou attended. They always get together with All-Souls for Pot Lucks and other social get-togethers. I heard the main difference is that their minster's sermons can be "dry as sand" Hazel is the pianist over there but she don't say much about it. John Masters teaches Sunday School but he refuses to direct the choir because they only use local arrangements rather than sending to New York for them. Lydia is going there too ever since someone played a Guitar at All-Souls. She's OK with a little piano or off-key organ, but hates the guitar.

Hey Syliva, (That song Leonard Blush sang, came to mind when I wrote your name.)... Sorry. Don't go punishin' yourself because no one wrote back an answer to your question right away. Maybe they are like me and had to go put a bucket on their head and do some "thankin under thar". As to your question about anyone seeing Goober in church, the answer I came up with was that he always took his Mama for a ride on Sundays. Remember when they were going to rebuild the bandstand.(is that a spider bite?) and have the Sunday evening band concerts? Gomer brought his cousin Goober's tools, but of course only he could use them, what with bein' a relative and all. As I remember, Goober couldn't come because he always took his Mama for a ride on Sundays, of course after washing the car, because he wouldn't take his Mama for a ride in a dirty car.

Goober as a boy in Mayberry
In the Case of the Punch in the Nose, Goober is called in as at witness of the original event and it was stated that he was just a boy (sitting in the barbershop) when it happened. This is sort of a strange twist because he is one of the few characters that was an "unseen character" (talked about by Gomer) before he became a real character. Good memory above by Aunt Bee of Orlando. The last reference I remember to Howard was his first job at Mayberry Transfer Company. I still say my thing to do in Mayberry would be to train with Sarah and be her backup operator. I work for a phone company and I am not as good a tool man as Mr. McBeevee to be a pole or tree man. So I'd work the switchboard for a while and learn all kinds of stuff.

George Lindsey, AKA Goober, turns 72 today. Happy Birthday,Goob! From all my cats, Andy, Barney, Opie, Otis, and Lester,also my house cat, Blondie(right out of the bottle). Watching "Goober's Replacement" the other night, noticed the scene where Andy & Floyd stopped at Wally's to check up on Flora, and sometime much later when Goober pulled up, maybe the next day? are the same scene. Camera angles are slightly different, but the same cars are in the same places and the same 2 people are talking at the gas pumps. Just finished season 6, understand why Andy gets owly more in the color episodes. When Barney was there, he always could do a little trick to him to relieve his tension. After he left, I noticed Goober, Floyd, Aunt Bee, and Helen are badgering him constantly. He usually gave in to them, especially Helen, who knew when to give him the cold shoulder. Just an opinion.

Goober "The Greek"
Each Friday in the Tennessean sports section, the writers give their picks of the college football winners. This week's special guest is George "Goober" Lindsey. We'll see if he happens to have ESP for the weekend games. He was the only one to go out on a limb and pick Tennessee over Florida (better watch for crazy owls while he's out there on that limb!)

What was Goober drinking?
Hi ya'all, I have a question. I was watching "A warning from Warren" this morning and noticed something I hadn't noticed before. ( I could be wrong, as usual :) ) When Goober & Warren are in the diner, Goober orders, besides a peanut butter&tuna sammich, a chocolate shake. When Warren suddenly decides they need to leave, Goober grabs up his sammich & shake and follows Warren out the door. When they arrive at Andy's door, Goober still has his Sammich& a glass but the contents of the glass seems to have changed from a chocolate shake to what looks like iced tea or coke. Do any of you with a trained eye have any imput on that? It always seemed odd to me too, that there were so many customers eating in the diner at that time, and when Warren & Goober show up at Andy's house, he is already in bed and asleep. One of those mysteries I'll never get solved, I suppose.

Man in A Hurry did insult Goober
bothers me, also. I never did like that part of the episode. besides, we all know that only an episode or 2 later Gomer will be the best Mechanic in Mayberry, even Wally had to admit such. > We all know the terrific episode "Man In A Hurry".Many of us, rank it as > the number one episode to capture the essence of TAGS. I'm right there with > you. But there is one troubling aspect of the show, and I'm not talking > about how the man walking into to town, right up to the Taylors coming out > of church and addresses Sheriff Taylor by name.. > > What really troubles me is the scene when Gomer brings the car back and > won't take money for the repairs and is so proud of the work he and Goober > have done get it running smooth as silk--- Then the man has a change of > heart and decides to stay with the Taylors...and of course I'm happy that he > didbut they present it as because the car isn't running right.

Goober and Gomer
How many shows did Goober and Gomer appear in together? I can only think of one right now-with the fun girls. Any others? And also, I grew up like Leon, running around the neighborhood on a bike, on foot, on a horse. I was in the woods with my dog. I walked to and from school, to piano lessons. This was back in the sixties and my town was a lot like Mayberry. We didn't wear helmets, knee-pads, or seatbelts. We never rode in a car seat. If you fell off, you got scratched up, got a band-aid and kept on going. Life was good.
