Happy Days
I just caught a rerun of "Happy Days" with Jack (Howard)Dodson as Ralph Malph's father. I didn't realize that he and Ron Howard got to work together on this show. Does anyone know if any other Mayberry alum were on Happy Days? Jerry Graber Jerry Graber ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Happy Days
Someone mentioned Fonzie and how Happy Days shows declined in later yrs. Didn't the term "jump the shark" start with a Happy Days episode? Jump the Shark refers to a show where Fonzie is water skiing and jumps over a shark. The term got started from that show and now refers to any show that starts declining after awhile. When the writers run out of material and start writing unbelievable scripts or something that does not fit in. I think of Aunt Bee flying a plane. She certainly couldn't drive a car, as Goober well knows. I think it's a funny term. It makes me laugh every time I hear it. Bee in New Concord, OH Brenda J. Higgins 57 Year Old Mom Looks 27!

TAGS on Happy Days
I'd like to add an answer to my own question from a few weeks agoWhat TAGS stars appeared on Happy Days? I'd like to happily add to the list Eleanor Poutice aka; Big Maude Tyler (the ballroom dancing Ex-con). Our own Reta Shaw appears as a Babysitter for Joanie when the rest of the family goes to Opie's, er a Richie's High School Dance (the parents to Chaperone, just like Andy and Helen). It was great to see her in color. Its unfortunately a very short appearance, but she was funny as usual.

Happy Days/Tags --Halloween
Hey thanks for those Happy Days characters. I'll watch for Clint and Rance. Last night I saw another TAGS alum. Remember the guy who was hustling furs (Ronny Schell)??? Well, he moved up to bomb shelters. Wouldn't that be an odd anniversary gift? Thanks for your Halloween reflections Kenneth. I think Barney and Gomer would be over at the Rimshaw place warning kids not to go in there. I think Aunt Bee would be handing out something home-made like popcorn balls. I remember getting those, Do you?Great idea on Bert Miller..but he could just disconnect his doorbell and let them knock on the door. What do you think he would hand out? One thing and then another? Do you think Ernest T would try to sneak around with the kids? "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. Though my face you can not see The Voice tells you it's Earnest T Give me a treat, if you want no trick of breaking glass and a throwed brick He he ha ha he he he he It's Me It's Me Ernest T (He'd be dressed up as the No-account of Monte Cristo) The Untrained Voice--no relation to the Unmasked Singer ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

One that jumps out at me was Ralph Malph's father, the eye doctor, played by none other than Howard Sprague himself, Jack Dodson. And then there was the time Mork from Ork was watching TV in the Cunninghams' living room and it was playing..."The Andy Griffith Show." Mork remarked "Love that Opie!...I can't understand why an Earth child has a Martian name."

TAGS actors on Happy Days
I know that we've done comparisons of TAGS actors on Gomer Pyle, Dick
Van Dyke, Lucy and obviously Mayberry RFD...but has anyone ever tallied
the number of TAGS actors who also appeared on Happy Days? I enjoy
watching ole Opie as a teenager and watched a couple episodes last
night.
Amzie Strickland (Miss Rosemary, Mrs. Sims house-buyer etc.) was on one
as a nosy neighbor of the Cunningham's. On the next one, Herbie Faye
(who played various criminals, con man etc.) was on as a pool hall
Manager ("I just work here"). These are both from Season One.
Anyone have any ideas of other TAGS connections?
-
Ken, I liked your Halloween dress-up list from a few days ago.
I would add:
Aunt Bee as Madame Curie
Barney as Dr. Pendyke, with Gomer as Opie Taylor Senior
Goober as Spiderman, or Swamp Monster---one of his Comic Book Heroes
Ernest T Bass as a Man in uniform (perhaps Boy scout)
The Darlings as Kenny Rogers and the Oak Ridge Boys
Mayor Pike as the Mayor or Munchkin Land
Floyd as a Rich Widower, with his son Paul (Andy) as an actor (With is
sword and long coat collecting exotic foods)
Clara--reprising her role as Lady Mayberry
Otis--as his Ancestor and war hero Nathan Tibbs
Howard as Fred Astaire
Thanks for the Nellie Sightings, I'm adding to the list for a website
update!

Happy Days and Mayberry Connections in Eau Claire
I had new carpeting installed in my squad car today. Not sure if I ever mentioned it, but the body shop where I have all the work done is called "Happy Days". The owner named it such as he was such a big fan of the TV show "Happy Days" and especially Henry Winkler and Ron Howard. When I picked the car up there were two gentleman standing by it talking about just that thing. So I guess I couldn't have taken it to a better place. The owner of the shop is so proud of the fact that he gets to do work on it. He sponsors many of the car shows that I attend and he represents what so much of Mayberry is all about.

Ron Howard and Jerry Paris and Happy Days
> Ron Howard was a guest on the Smartless Podcast Interesting article, Jeff. Thank you for posting. I had to share the one paragraph when Ron calls Jerry Paris a genius. I’m a member on the FaceBook group Dick Van Dyke Show and Paris is a beloved character. Ron is so humble. He says he was offered chances to direct Happy Days episodes but didn’t want to rob the cast of even one week of no Jerry. Ron’s hair may be cut big city style but his heart is shaped in a bowl. Another TAGS link is Jerry’s wife on DVD Show…Ann Morgan Guilbert who appeared in Aunt Bee’s Cousin. Mayberry spreads far and wide.
