What a co-inky-dink!! On Gunsmoke yesterday there was Aneta Corsaut as a Nun and TAGS comes on right after that but that one was before Helen...but she did show up before the series was over for the day! We are seriously considering a trip to Mayberry Days again next year. Can't promise, can't say for sure at this point, but sure would look forward to it so we can see all our old friends again! If the car holds together, we'll set a record of some kind. We went from 2000 - 2015sixteen trips to Mayberry Days plus extra trips in between! So don't tell me American cars ain't as good as them Foreigners! Plus we have been up Pilot Mountain at least 15 times in it! So we'll go again soon to get rid of our stuff for the silent auction, get a pork chop sandwich, visit a few stores like Mayberry on Main and some more, and just enjoy the day!

Did anyone else catch TAGS's Helen on a TVLand episode of "Bonanza" Monday afternoon? Rather an unusual role for Aneta Corsaut, playing the daughter of an itinerant & religiously devout Jewish peddler who sparks a romantic interest in Adam Cartwright.

I watched that episode of "Bonanza" - thought I recognized the girl, but she looked so different!!

"It seems to me that anytime Helen lost her cool it was because Andy either did something or failed to tell the entire truth about something. My experience is that seems to set off any woman.

Helen Crump
To the people to do not like Helen's attitude, think about how sometime you could be a bit testy when you don't get your way. I know that I can get a little peeved at people when they don't do what needs to be done. Then they turn it around on me and say that I have a bad attitude. Usually I try to shrug off the bad attitude comment and go on about my business. A few weeks ago three teenagers parked in my yard and I had to ask them to move their car. They said that they didn't realize that they had parked on my property (three feet of grass and a fence gate). Before they moved the car I told them that they needed to respect the neighborhood and to park in the paid parking area behind the restaurant's down the street. Some woman who just happened to be walking down the street called me a feisty old woman. I was just sticking up for myself and my property. The restaurant's didn't come into the neighborhood until a tornado hit my part of town in 1998. The parking has gotten worse and the people going to the restaurants' and shops are very rude. So as you can see I can understand Helen's attitude and sometimes wanting her own way. The one time Helen didn't stick up for herself and neither did Andy was at Howard's house party and she had to dance with Goober, Howard and Andy, then Emmitt. Okay that is my rant for the day.

Helen, The Authoress
I've been watching the seventh season on DVD and I would like to pose something I noticed while watching the episode, "Helen, The Authoress". Helen and Andy are heading to meet the publisher in Richmond and the scene transitions from the Taylor living room to Richmondor does it? A city is shown in the transition, but I'm certain the city show is not Richmond, but instead Charleston, South Carolina. Give me your thoughts.

Helen the Authoress
Seeing I am in the process of having a book published I decided to watch "Helen the Authoress" last night. I must admit I am going through some of the same anxieties Helen experienced. There are so many things to do and think about, I find most of my time is spent on my book and I am not having time for my wife. Very similar to Helen and Andy. However, my wife is very understanding, so I don't think things will get nearly as bad as they did for Andy and Helen. I would like to mention to any of you who may be considering doing a book, that we have an excellent person among us could help you greatly. When I decided to go with Westview Publishing, I requested to have Kathryn Darden be my author representative. In case you have forgotten, Kathryn put together the delightful book "A Tribute to Mayberry". I have a number of poems in her book. Kathryn will be having two Book Signings at Mayberry Days of Friday, September 22 and Saturday, September 24 at Page's Book Store. For more information you can check out http://www.christianactivities.com/mayberry/story.asp?ID=5862 Kathryn hopes to have copies of my book with her if they are ready by then. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend Mayberry Days this year. So if you are considering a book in the future, be sure to request Kathryn as your author representative. She does a fantastic job with publicity packages for inspirational and/or Christian books, and I am sure she would be more than happy to help anyone get started. Kenneth G.

Opie Loves Helen
I bought TAGS Season 5 on DVD yesterday, the day of its release, February 14 (Valentines Day). I thought it fitting that the release date falling on Valentines Day was all the more ironic when, lo and behold, the first episode I watched was 'Opie Loves Helen' an episode with a love theme. Ronny Howard later guest starred on the 'Love, American Style' episode "Love and the Happy Day", the pilot for 'Happy Days.' In the last scene, Andy, with Helen by his side, explains to Opie that one day he and Helen may marry. (That would prove true four years to the month later on 'Mayberry R.F.D.') In reality,though, I believe that Aneta Corsaut's Valentine might have been writer Jim Fritzell. I would like to see the chalkboard writing there.

Warren, Andy, Helen
I agree, Andy's demeanor did change greatly in the color episodes. There is one episode where he is asking about Opie, Andy asks Aunt Bee, "Where's the boy"? Opie comes in and leans back against the kitchen door, as if in fear. That upset me, and I knew then Andy was not happy. I think Warren was a fun character, he wasn't Barney, but he was funny, and I enjoyed him. I think they gave Jack Burns a bum rap, they could have given him more time to endear the audience with the new Warren character, but chose not to. By this time, I was no longer enjoying Helen either. She changed drastically from the black and white episodes. Except for one black and white episode where she was jealous that the family friend was visiting, who was upset about a broken engagement. Helen behaved badly in this episode, I thought. She was both insensitive and rude. Thelma Lou was always a delight! Silvia, aka Josephine Pike ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Debaters and defending Helen
Neil Bentley, you noted some fine political debates, Thank you!! Yes Aunt Bee did do a good job then, and also as someone mentioned, in the Mr. Frisbee Eviction informal debate with Andy. (Aunt Bee the Crusader). She had several good debates with Andy. One of them ended with him saying "Call the Man!" Barney was a great relentless debater also. Remember the Motorcycle episode? He just seemed to wear Andy down...like he did with his slingshot in the courthouse debate. Now I'll tell you another good debater. Helen Crump! With that in mind, let me comment on this post. >>anyone know any personal info on the lady that played Helen Crump, Anita Corsette (spl?). I haven't googled her, but I've never seen much about her personally. I must admit, I never liked her character much, and felt Andy could have had a nicer girlfriend. She always seemed to be in a bad mood. My ex wife was like that a lot!!<<<< Ttown, buddy it sounds like you've got some issues there, but lets not take it out on Helen Crump, OK. As a man (I shave and wear aftershave) I used to think Helen was kind of grouchy also...BUT if you watch carefully, most of the times she was upset, Andy deserved it. Like when he lied to her about Lee Drake, or the Fun Girls, or Gloria, or got out of shape because of her attention as an author, or when she beat him at bowling and her niece beat Opie at sports, need I go on? I do think Andy was on more solid ground with Frank, and why she was sitting on the same side of the booth with him, after working on that blamed gradin manual, but most of the time, Andy made mistakes we guys all make, and deserved a little anger. If you'll remember the same thing happened with Ellie (when he thought she was on the hunt for him and he tried to pawn other guys off on her) and Peg (when Opie's little games caused a rift, and when he thought the fact that she was rich would be a problem) and even Karen, Thelma Lou's cousin, because he expected he to be a stereo-typical women, instead of a better shooter than him. Aneta Corsaut has a modest but impressive list of TV and Movie Appearances. Cancer ended her life too soon, before she could enjoy the adoration of Mayberry fans that many of the stars did and continue to.

Sitting on the same side of the booth implies some intimacy that should not have been there, and if I were Andy, I wouldn't have liked it, either! Helen should have recognized that and should have offered an explanation to Andy, such as, "Frank just sat down beside me. What could I do?" She was a little too offended about that, which would seem to indicate, if not guilt on her part, at least perhaps some unspoken attraction to Frank that she didn't want to admit. In some of the TAGS storylines, it's apparent that the writers have had the characters do or say things that aren't necessarily logical or even true to themselves for the purpose of creating a conflict that will drive a story. There is no story without conflict, but the key is to create believable conflict. The conflict is this episode was believable except for that one detail. It's easier to talk to someone when you are face to face, so the only reason for sitting side by side is for closer physical contact. I know, I know, I'm probably over analyzing things, but, as Barney would say, I can't take any credit for it--that's just how my mind works.

re: Andy & Helen Getting Married?
Sharon, more & more married women went to work outside the home as the '50s ended and the '60s began. But I think in smaller towns there existed a certain stigma about women who chose that role. I distinctly remember my paternal grandmother, who lived in a small Iowa town, "tsk, tsk"ing with a group of her fellow housewives about a neighbor who had gone to work in my grandfather's office, even though she didn't "have to work". That was something I remember hearing from lots of housewives as I was growing up in the '50s. It was a sort of domestic badge of honor to be so completely supported by your husband that if you didn't have to work, why on earth would you want to. Pretty much why I decided, at about age 10, that I never wanted to be a housewife! I couldn't then, nor can I now, fathom dependency in an adult as anything to be desired.

Helen Getting Married and Teaching
Probably the biggest contributing factor to women wanting to be in the work force was World War 2 when millions of American women entered the work force, mainly in factories, to help fill the need for workers when war production was at full force and most of America's young men were in the military. When the war ended many of the women did not want to give up the money they had come to enjoy and also their new found independence. I always thought too that it was a bit strange that Andy and Helen couldn't get married and continue to both work. After all they were not young kids, Andy being in his 30's and Helen probably being somewhat younger. But it was also very common back then for most women teachers to be married. On the other hand, I remember when I was a child back in the late 50's and early 60's, my mother was the only mom who worked among all my friends' families, except for my good friend Dan's mother, and you guess it, she was a teacher.

I'm not sure if the actress Larry was referring to was Charlene Darling's portrayer, Margaret (Maggie) Peterson, or if he was thinking of the female lead on F-Troop, Melody Patterson. Both are blonde, and look very similar. Also, it's ironic that their names sound so much alike! It's really fun to hear about the many regular and character actors from TAGS can be seen on so many other shows! Keep up the good work, and long live TAGS!

Helen Crumps Non De Plume
Well my wonderful wife for the last 48 years has lately been thinking of changing her first name from Helaine to Lainey even though I tried to convince her that great and creative people think that the name is upper class. The professional book publishers believed that or why else would they want to change Helen Crump to Helaine Alexia Dubois. After expending my best efforts, going so far as trying to convince her to put the bucket on her head and just thank about it, she handed me the bucket and said ,"just call me Lainey". I guess I will wear the bucket and see if I can thank of some thing other than Louis, even though it has served me for well over 70 years.

Helen Sighting and Claude Akins
Hey, Mayberry friends. I just watched our favorite teacher, Helen Crump, (Aneta Corsaut), playing a nun on Gunsmoke. Claude Akins played a featured character in this episode from 1967. Mr. Akins was a popular tough guy/heavy from the era. I wonder why he never showed up on TAGS? When my daughter was a child (she turns 41 this week, she'll appreciate me saying that), we gave her a pair of parakeets. She named them Barney and Andy, but we never knew if they were boys or girls. A diet of biscuits and honey kept them from flying very well, too.

Frank Smith moving on Helen
I can see Andy getting jealous over Frank Smith, but what really would have taken the cake me would have been seeing Frank Smith sitting beside Helen in the diner. They weren't looking over paperwork or anything. Now maybe I'm old fashioned but it's my understanding that if you're sitting beside a gal in a booth it means yall are more than just friends. Andy brought this up to Helen on the porch in his rant. I was not surprised while Helen was defending her point of view that she did not touch base on that fact which in turn made it more obvious that sitting beside Frank Smith was wrong. If I had walked in on my gal sitting beside Frank Smith at the diner, Well that's all I'm going to say about it!

Re: WBMUTBB Helen Crump et al
Anyone know any personal info on the lady that played Helen Crump, Anita Corsette (spl?). I havent googled her, but I've never seen much about her personally. I must admit, I never liked her character much, and felt Andy could have had a nicer girlfriend. She always seemed to be in a bad mood. My ex wife was like that a lot!! I think he should have stuck with Peg, or Ellie Walker, or even charlene. I was IN LOVE with Charlene when I was growing up (I'm 52 now). Turns out Maggie isnt that much older than me, SO, Charlene/Maggie, I know you are married, but I would marry you in a second. Oh yea, and Ellie, I'd marry you too! We may have to move to Utah so I could have two wives. **Start the year off right.

RE: Last night's show - Helen the Authoress...
I noticed that the plate number for the squad car was JL-327. Unfortuantely I haven't saved all my other digests so don't know if this number has been bandied about or not. Also, from that episode, Helen is referred to as (S)Andy's fiance - did I miss the episode where he formally proposed Granted I don't watch the colored episodes much, but I don't remember if he did. One more thing - I grew up in the 50's, but in a community very much like Mayberry, and I don't ever remember wearing shorts, at least not after 6 or 7. I doubt I would have had any skin left on my knees... tom ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Helen on Adam-12; Re: opposites
I thinkand I've been doing a lot of thinking with my bucket on, that "I want to moveI never get to move" is from Season 1, when Mayberry celebrated The Apricot Festival. Someone on the celebration committee moved to use balloons instead of paper lanterns or something of that sort. In regard to opposites like "pretty ugly" or "jumbo shrimp" I think that's called an oxymoron. (Not to be confused with a Nazi Moron!) Keep a good thought.

Re: Helen Crump is not a grump
> When she was first introduced to the show she was rather a humble, lady-like > woman. The brief introduction to Helen was in the classroom where she discovered the boys were taking their direction from Opie who was taking his direction from Andy with regards to the history of this country, and dates and stuff. While she may have been quite meek in the classroom, you can't say she was "rather humble" or "lady-like" as she really did give the devil to Andy in the court room, even causing Barney to take a step back as she stormed out. And Andy's only comment was "See that foot? How can that great big foot, all of it, fit in my mouth?" I won't comment on the rest of her appearances as we all have different feelings on whether she was lady-like or a witch..and we know very well, that only shows with some controversy are going to keep watcher's attention. If every character was as sweet as we wish them all to be, there's not much of a story line to create. She was quite lady-like in the reunion movie and that's the Helen I'll remember. Regarding the fact that she should have been upfront with Andy about her undercover work in college, she had no idea he was doing a background check on her at the time. However, as fast as rumors spread in Mayberry I'm surprised the school board was able to keep all that information under their hats for long, with those wagging tongues of theirs.

Frank and Helen sitting on the same side
I always suspected that Frank did have some designs on Helen, and maybe Andy suspected it also. Notice he is on the outside of the booth, meaning Helen sat down and he slid in next to her. Also when they come over to Andy's for dinner, Frank escorts Helen to the table with his hand on her back - as one would do a date. And I suspect he did intentionally show off a bit, he could have politely refused to play the guitar. Ummm, h - something was up.

Would love to see Andy and Helen getting married!
Dear Tagsnewsletter, I barely remember watching Andy and Helen getting married on Mayberry RFD. I remember Helen in a wedding dress coming around the corner and starting to walk down the aisle. I would like to see it again, does anybody have a link to it? Saw the Mayberry Gazette society reporter on The Dick Van Dyke Show. When I saw her, all I could think of was her telling Aunt Bee, it would be the social event of the season or year? She was so excited that Bee's Cousin Bradford was coming to town.

A letter to Helen Crumps friend, Frank Smith from Raleigh
Frank Smith. Ok so your Helen Crumps teacher friend from Raleigh. No big deal with me but Andys getting pretty upset about it, with your book smarts and worldly ways. Why were you sitting on the same side of the dinner table at the diner with Helen ? You and Helen were supposed to be working at the school. No books or work to be looking over seen at the diner, so why are you sitting next to Helen ? Andy even mentioned you being on the same side of the table to Helen to her, and in her tirade about her life being her own personal business didnt address the issue he brought up. So why are you sitting on the same side of the table with Helen ? Your awful lucky eagle eye Barn isnt around. - I always welcome everyone that would like to post their picture at http://www.pbase.com/kippercat/the_andy_griffith_show to please send it and a short letter on their appeal to TAGS to hollandsh...@yahoo.com thanks Holland Lexington NC about 50 minutes from Mayberry _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
