As this is Easter weekend, it got me to thinking ( good for the head!). Other than Christmas, were there references to any other holidays on TAGS?

Halloween was mentioned a number of times. Mayberry folks were told to get out of their Trick or Treat outfits. Barney told Andy when Inspector Case was coming that he was supposed to be dressed for Trick or Treat. Barney mentioned nabbing some kids ringing doorbells on Halloween, and Goober mentioned guarding the cannon on Halloween. Memorial Day aka Decoration Day was mentioned when Barney wanted to wear his Smokey Bear uniform. 4th of July was mentioned one time when council was considering having fireworks for Founders Day. Andy mentioned the beer opener would make a good Mother's Day present. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Barney hauled the teenage boys in for knocking on doors at Halloween not exactly a "holiday," but more of a custom or observance Seems I remember some reference to the 4th of July, like fireworks or something Then there was Founder's Day Also, Bastille Day and some others mentioned to the Morrison sisters Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Good one Harriet. I like watching holiday shows during the holidays so I dig out the Waltons which I am a big fan of too! I am disappointed that TAGS only made one holiday show in 8 years, I wonder why? John 3:16 ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

I agree, I wish they had made more holiday episodes. I often wonder what it would have been like if an episode was made of the main cast of characters were invited to the Darlins for Thanksgiving. And what about the menu? Rick Charlottesville Sent from BlueMail ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

I was wondering if anyone knew why there was only one Christmas show in all those years. I’ll bet Aunt Bee would put in an exceptional Thanksgiving meal as well the writers should have taken advantage of that I think that would have been an exceptional show any input on this idea John 3:16 Thelma Anderson ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Thank you for the comments Janet and Ed good reasons but you know what, I would rather watch A holiday show from that era any day of the year than any junk that’s on today John 3:16 Thelma Anderson ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
happy holidays
Happy holidays everyone I too wish TAGS would have done more than one holiday episode it would have been nice to see them do a thanksgiving episode... maybe with a play (like they did for founders day), a new years episode (perhaps Otis could have spiked the punch at the party). I really would have liked to seen (but they would have had to be WAY ahead of the times) them make homage (sp?) to ALL the holidays in nov/dec such as Rahmadaan (guess there werent any Muslims in Mayberry), Yule, Kwanzaa (did it even exist?), Hanakah (sp?)... but shows today dont even do that. I think a groundhogs day episode would have been funny... maybe they could have lost the groundhog. Of course a Halloween episode would have been my favorite I just take the Haunted House as my "Halloween TAGS". Happy Holidays everyone they are upon us!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Holidays & Weather
Hey, Friends, I'm a little behind times, but someone asked if Halloween was ever observed in Mayberry. It was mentioned in the episode when Ed Sawyer comes into town wanting to make Mayberry his home when Barney is in the barber shop telling Andy about the time he "arrested" some twelve-year old boys for ringing door- bells and running off at Halloween last year. (Barney wanted permission to run Ed Sawyer in for ringing Lucy's doorbell.) So, I guess that provides some evidence that Halloween was observed in Mayberry. Take care of yourselves. Man, it's hot down here. Laura Lee Hobbs can't even watch out for Gold Trucks it's so hot. Now that's hot!

Happy Holidays
We want to wish all our TAGS friends a very Merry Christmas. I received the book " Andy & Don" this morning as well as the movie, "Murder in Coweta County" with Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash. I have not seen this particular movie, but am looking forward to watching it. I have heard a lot of pros and cons about "Andy & Don" so looking forward to reading it! It is indeed wonderful that the spirit of Mayberry lives on in this crazy, scary world! Hope 2016 is a great year for everyone. Lotsa seasons greeting to you and yours!

>>>I was wondering if anyone knew why there was only one Christmas show in all >>>those years. I?ll bet Aunt Bee would put in an exceptional Thanksgiving meal >>>as well the writers should have taken advantage of that I think that would >>>have been an exceptional show any input on this idea.<<< Thelma, the general consensus is that holiday-themed shows were often avoided for syndication reasons. Popular shows were syndicated and shown in reruns after initial broadcast, and since the episodes could appear anytime during the calendar year, a Christmas episode, for example, could be shown in July. Traditional thinking was that this should be avoided. Some series never had holiday-themed episodes, while others did. In addition to TAGS only having one Christmas episode, I believe "I Love Lucy" also only had one Christmas show, and that was late in the series. A notable exception decades later was "Friends," which had holiday-themed episodes every year. Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Let's not forget National Potato Week and Bastille Day as well as Founders Day and Barn's 5 Year Party! Peggy " I never knew there were so many Moslems in Mayberry!" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Possible Mayberry Holidays
There is "National Still Smashing Day" too. They must have had a "Seth Taylor Day" after putting up that heavy duty wobbly statue that the stone mason carved out of Styrofoam. I think too a holiday was created when Barney and Andy received their medals for keeping Mayberry so crime free. At least the school principal declared one for the kids. I definitely think they should have a "Tom Silby Day". After all, he came back to life after being dead and buried for two years. That's no small feat. They certainly should hold a "Rock Fest" each year in honor of Ernest T. Bass. I am sure the window manufacturing companies would help sponsor it.

Holidays in Mayberry
Tom, You got me to thinkin about that and all I could come up with was birthdays. There was Arnold's and Thelma Lou's birthdays and there may have been more. Speaking of Thelma Lou's birthday, I bought a cheap feather boa to wear at Halloween. It molted all night. I bought it at a store but I think Newton Monroe was their supplier.

RE: Holidays in Mayberry
Don't forget the most important holiday of allit was officially verified by Andy and Barney. There is a "Still Smashing Day" in response to discovering the sisters ran a still in their hot house, where they kept special flowers. "The trouble I'm in with Miss Johnson, I could use special flowers."

The Holidays and a Platex glove
I want to wish each and everyone of you here at the message board a most blessed Holiday Season! You all play such an important part in bringing Mayberry to me. I used to feel so alone out there always wishing there was really a Mayberry and so much wanting to step back in time and live there. This past year, I found the message board and found all of you. All of you are so awesome! So kind and always helpful. Just like Mayberry. Allen, thank you to you and your family for the wonderful Christmas card. I looked back over the others you sent out over the years and they are all awesome. Some even brought tears to my eyes. As far as the latex glove story goes. All the talk about Snails & Worms lately reminded me of a funny memory. Me and my children had conquered the fear of putting a worm on a hook, but not the fear of touching the fish to take it off the hook if we did catch one. So, one beautiful summer day we wanted to go fishing, but we had this dilema...my husband was at work, so we had no one to to handle the caught fish for us. Finally, my son Josh, now 20, then 12 or 13, says "I can take the fish off the hook if you can figure out a way for me not to have to touch it." I turned on my thinking cap and thought of those yellow, platex gloves I use to do dishes. I was out of them, so my two boys went to the store and bought a pack of two, so off we went to the lake. There were several others there fishing as well, so we found our spot and started to bait hooks and get them in the water. We usually didn't have much luck catching anything, but of course today was quite the opposite. It's like the fish were under the water watching us fools and wanted to have some fun with us. It's like they were jumping on our hooks. Every time one of us caught a fish, we'd yell for Josh to "Get the Gloves!" He couldn't get them on fast enough, soon there was another fish, and then another, and then yet another. It never failed, he'd just take them off and we were yelling for the gloves again. We all got laughing so hard that our stomachs just hurt. The other people around the lake had quite a show that day, as we could hear others laughing at us. It was a wonderful day for all of us that day and we still share many laughs over it yet today. All it takes is someone saying "Josh, get the gloves!" Ben, this is the first time I seen the Night Before Christmas in Mayberry Poem. It was very well done, thank you for that. Well, I had better let someone else get a word in, I just wanted to share.
