Mayberry RFD
I'm really excited about all of the color episodes being released as well as Gomer Pyle, USMC. I was so afraid that after the black & white episodes were out that the "powers that be" would decide to end it there. My next "Christmas Wish" is that Mayberry RFD will follow as well. There was a rumor floating around less than a year ago that Paramount had plans to complete The Andy Griffith Show in 2006 and Mayberry RFD was slated to be released by Warner Bros in 2007. Since the TAGS part of the rumor appears to be genuine, maybe, if we're real lucky, they'll release all three seasons of RFD next year.

The cable american life channel is showing RFD reruns and they aren't all that bad really not as good as it could have been but Ken berry does a really good job of keeping it holsom. I would like to see some pics of the warner bros set of RFD , Are there any photos available. I'm a big fan of Wallys station and "goobers" station isn't shown too good to compare it to the original.

MAYBERRY RFD
For one reason and another (College, Army), I was away from a TV set from 1968 until 1972. This week TV Land had been broadcasting the final shows of Andy with Sam Jones showing up. It got me to wondering, since Andy and Helen left Mayberry in 1969, but Sam, Howard, Emmett, and Goober stayed around, did they ever show who replaced Andy as Sheriff on Mayberry RFD? TV Land does not show reruns of Mayberry RFD and I have not purchased the DVD's as of yet so I do not know the answer to this question. I know there are a lot of you who will know the answer to this question.

I have wondered why I never watched Mayberry RFD and realized by the dates it aired that Viet Nam got in the way. So, when I received the 1st season today, I was anxious to see if it had that "Mayberry feel." With Andy and Barney gone, the "feel" seemed to be gone...but then there it was... in Emmett's grouchiness, Howard's fussiness, and Goober's sweetness. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

I was delighted to see Mayberry RFD back. I missed some. Not like Dan, but I was baby sitting back then a lot. I did not realize Andy made appearances before getting married and on to Ohio for the postal service. I have two sets of Andy because I have watched them so much that some had bad spots.

TAGS fans, We purchased the first season of Mayberry RFD on DVD and have really been enjoying it. The first few episodes are (IMHO) a bit weak, but once everything and everyone is established, the show's very good. On the episode we watched today--which was actually a two-parter!--Aunt Bee falls in love with Will "Grampa Walton" Geer and gets engaged. In the story, they wind up not going through with it because he still loves the sea. Of course, we all know is that the real reason is that he married Hubcaps Lesch and lived out his days on Sam Jones' porch.

Mayberry RFD lot
***Was it still on the back lot at that time. If so,where was it located because the scenes are different even "goobers" garage is different. ( last nights episode Howard moves to a swinging singles apartment complex*** I'm told the first couple of seasons it was filmed at 40 Acres but during its third and final season it was filmed at Warner Brothers. The town does look different during that third season, including a grassy park in the middle of the town square, and a vintage theatre that looks different from the one we're used to. I think the apartment complex scene may have been filmed on location somewhere, not on a studio lot.

Re: Mayberry RFD
To answer Wayne and Anne Newsome's question, "Mayberry R.F.D." was a continuation of "The Andy Griffith Show," when Andy left the cast. Ken Berry, fresh off his run on "F Troop," was introduced as farmer and city councilman Sam Jones during the last season of "The Andy Griffith Show" and was now the alpha male of Mayberry. The show ran three seasons from 1968 until that fateful year CBS cancelled "everything with a tree in it," 1971, despite the fact "Mayberry R.F.D." actually finished that season in the top 20.

Mayberry RFD DVDs
Hello everyone- I am working my way through the Andy Griffith Show DVD collection--all 8 seasons--and realizing that when I finish viewing them all, I will miss watching them. I have no recollection of the follow up show, Mayberry R.F.d, so I did some searching and found that Barnes & Noble is going to be selling the 1st season at the best price I have found. I preordered the set. In case anyone else wants to do the same--the link is below. Shipping is free and taxes were about $3.00. I really enjoy getting the emails and comments from wbmutbb. Thank you to all of you for your comments and input. I find it all interesting and informative. Someone asked if the man wearing white in the Twilight Zone episode of The Ice Cream Man was Floyd.

Andy in Mayberry RFD
I have been getting into watching the Mayberry RFD episodes lately. I know they are not the same quality and don't have the same chemistry as the b&w TAGS, but it is the closest thing I can do to getting a fresh look at Mayberry! It is so nice to watch an episode that I don't know for sure how it is going to come out! Anyway, I just watched the episode of RFD where Andy and Helen come back (Andy is working in Charlotte) to have Andy Jr. christened. I didn't remember Andy and Helen having a baby in any of these episodes (I guess they ignore in on Return to Mayberry). My question is - is that the last appearance of Andy on RFD? It is sad how much his character changed by the time of RFD and the later TAGS. He seems upset most of the time and really not wanting to be there. It is so amazing to watch the first or 2nd year of TAGS up against the last years of TAGS and RFD. Have a great Christmas.

Mayberry RFD & Gomer on DVD
This is from TV Shows on DVD. Sounds like there is a good chance that Mayberry RFD and Gomer are coming to DVD!! The 8th and final season of The Andy Griffith Show is set to come to DVD before the end of the year, according to our friends in the home video industry who pass on such rumors and gossip to us. The 30 episodes that wrap up the series are supposedly in the works to hit store shelves on December 12th. That is, by the way, the same date that we were told to expect the first season DVDs of the spin-off series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.!! And speaking of spin-offs, don't forget that The Andy Griffith Show finished with one! The final episode of "TAGS" aired on 4/1/68, and re-ran in primetime on 9/16/68. A week later, on 9/23/68, Mayberry R.F.D. debuted, picking up right where the last Andy Griffith Show episode - called "Mayberry R.F.D." (and not by coincidence, either!) - left off. Look for guest starring shots from Jack Albertson, Harry Dean Stanton, Alan Oppenheimer, a VERY pre-WKRP Howard Hesseman, an even-younger Teri Garr, Ken Berry and the cast of Mayberry R.F.D., and a single-episode return of the late great Don Knotts as "Barney Fife"! Stay tuned, and as soon as Paramount Home Entertainment makes this date official and thereby validates our info, we'll have more details for you! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

She played a soda jerk in a lengthy scene with Arlene Golonka in episode "Millie and the Golf Pro".

Re: Mayberry RFD on Youtube
Someone has posted all of seasons one of "Mayberry, R.F.D." on Youtube.
Finally great to see it someplace since it's apparently not commercially
available on DVD or on higher quality streaming. These episodes were recorded,
apparently on VHS, from a TV Land marathon several years ago.
Some observations:
Andy and Helen's wedding (specifically, Barney's role in it) still cracks me
up. If that were to happen now, it would have been a two-part series finale
for TAGS during ratings sweeps.
Opie sure was a good kid. Mike seems to get into trouble a lot more often and
doesn't seem to be as smart.
The Aunt Bee in the wedding episode is more liberated than the one in the TAGS
pilot, even though the script appears to be a remake.
We've talked alot about African Americans in Mayberry; R.F.D. seems to show
even more diversity. Sam has an African-American neighbor, Ralph, who has a
son slightly older than Mike and a daughter Goober taught in driver's ed.
Some of us have complained about the scripts on "Mayberry R.F.D" and
specifically, how the writing doesn't fit the characters. One example I saw in
season one: Clara Edwards is a lot meaner than she was on TAGS, and pointedly,
she doesn't seem to have any scenes with Aunt Bee anymore. I wonder if the two
actresses had some kind of falling out and one refused to work with the other?
Another example: Howard suddenly caving in too much during a debate, certainly
not the guy we saw take Aunt Bee apart in another debate when they were running
for town council.
There are some good moments throughout season one, and one episode ("The
Camper") actually made me laugh out loud repeatedly. I honestly think that one
could've worked with Barney and Gomer years earlier, it was that funny.
At least one of Andy's appearances, the one in the episode where Mike loses his
wristwatch, didn't seem necessary at all to the plot. It was still good to see
him (and the squad car, and the inside of the sheriff's office) again.
And some of the episodes could've played just as well with Andy in Sam's role,
which made me wonder if they used any leftover scripts that were intended for
Andy. (On the other hand, some of the episodes obviously could only be done
with Sam and Millie, like for instance the one about Sam's bean crop failing
while Millie grows a bumper crop in her back yard.)
Car nuts will notice Mayberry went from being a Ford town to a Mopar city, and
Sam drives a new Dodge truck every year (as opposed to the older Ford truck he
drove on "The Andy Griffith Show"). We even get a brief glimpse of Andy
driving a Dodge Coronet in the Mayberry Sheriff's Office striping package. Sam
also has a new Plymouth sedan every year, compared to Andy, who only had his
one work vehicle.
Two episodes feature a then-unknown Jodie Foster, and in one of them, she
doesn't speak and isn't even credited!
I sure wish they would release this series on DVD. What are they waiting for?
It has a ready made audience.

Fwd: Blacks in Mayberry RFD
Anybody looking for Black people in Mayberry should watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B6QVxGa7gg&feature=related The Youth Day. It is a season one episode focusing on the three boys chosen to run Mayberry for a day. The Black kid takes over as County Clerk under the supervision of Howard Sprague & he gets as much attention as Mike & Arnold do. His father has even more scenes than Arnold's though I always thought his dad was a doctor. In this episode Andy calls him by his first name. Enjoy! I did.

MAYBERRY RFD coming to DVD
Well, it's about time! Mayberry RFD will be available on DVD (season 1) April 8 2014. I actually like Mayberry RFD more than TAGS, but I guess I'm wierd (no comments on that please). Hopefully all three seasons will be released quickly. Mike ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
MAYBERRY RFD screen used prop
My daughter and I volunteer at a local animal shelter that operates entirely on donations and I have been toying with the idea of parting with one of my collectibles to raise money for that shelter. I have the original "Sam Jones Councilman" name plate that was used throughout the run of Mayberry RFD. It has a signed, C.O.A. from Ken Berry, who played Sam Jones and I can provide screen shots from numerous episodes proving its authenticity. It was even used in scenes with Andy Griffith in at least one episode of Mayberry RFD (Help On The Farm). If anyone is seriously interested in this item, email me personally at docholi...@indy.rr.com (please do not respond to the digest ). I have a lot invested in this item and I'm not going to just give it away, so bargain hunters need not inquire. I'm not trying to be mean about it, just honest.

More thoughts on Mayberry RFD
TAGS fans, Almost through season 1 of Mayberry RFD (and hoping they'll release 2!) and had some thoughts on the show: - After the first few episodes, when they were mostly establishing themselves (I guess), the show got much better. - How did Milly Swanson afford that huge house on the salary of a counter girl at a bakery?!?! It's made clear she doesn't own the bakery herself. One episode mentioned that she used to be a chorus girl, so maybe she made a lot of money at that and retired. - When Aunt Bee throws her engagement party, how come Andy and Opie don't attend?

Mayberry RFD Seasons 2 & 3
Hey folks, let me first say I'm happy to be back in "Mayberry" after falling off the WBMUTBB rolls for several years. Glad to see the recent discussions about Mayberry R.F.D and it got me to thinking. I know Warner released Season 1 several years ago, but does anyone happen to have "home recorded" copies of Seasons 2 & 3 on DVD that you would be willing to share with me? For years I've been relying on an old set of VHS tapes of RFD from TNT airings in the early 1990's. They were copied for me by a member of this group many, many eons ago. I realize RFD airs in some markets on ME-TV (lucky people!) so I was hoping someone might have recorded the last two seasons? As a bit of trivia... I actually started the internet's first ever Mayberry RFD site back in the early 1990's. It is the one listed in the Mayberry R.F.D book by Dale Robinson. If you can help please contact me directly. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Sam Jones Mayberry RFD Desk Prop
Greetings fellow Mayberrians! I'm moving soon (no, not to Raleigh, just across town) and need to clear out a few things. Is anybody interested in this authentic prop desk plaque that sat on Sam Jones desk in several episodes of "Mayberry RFD?" (Yes, it's the real thing!) See photos and description here: http://tiny.cc/02j9e It didn't sell on eBay so I'll consider any reasonable offer over $500. Lots of luck to you and yours!

re: TAGS/Mayberry RFD to MeTV
Metv will not be airing both shows in any market. where it can be shown TAGS will air on MeTV but if another one of your local channels has the rights to TAGS then in your area will be receiving Mayberry RFD. MeTV has no intentions of showing them both in both markets the Mayberry RFD is just for areas with contract issues (another LOCAL channel having rights to TAGS). Here in Cincinnati since our local wkrc holds the rights and airs TAGS week day mornings in an hour block beginning at 10am we will get to watch Mayberry RFD each evening on Metv. Hope that clears some confusion on this matter. Just remember no matter where you live you will be getting Mayberry it all depends on the area of the version.

Does a "Mayberry RFD" sighting count?
While sitting here on the couch with a pan of cashew fudge between "Charlene", aka "Bulbsnatcher" and me, watching the Millie the Model episode of "Mayberry RFD" on MeTV, it was pointed out that one of the bit-characters was possibly played by Farrah Fawcett. I Googled it and IMDB confirmed it. I mean, who'd a thunk it? It really makes ya' think about the super stars that once starred in minor roles on TAGS or MRFD.

Mayberry RFD on DVD...A Logical Guess
I've also been wondering about RFD on DVD. My best WAG is they'll probably issue that show season by season after TAGS' final season has been released - I'll start looking for it possibly in Spring or Summer of '07. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
blooper about Andy's house on Mayberry, RFD
I just watched the Mayberry, RFD episode "An Efficient Service Station" (season 1 episode 22) on YouTube. I was shocked and appalled at the blooper I saw! Goober was selling shoes door-to-door and went up to Andy's house. There was a sign nailed to the porch that said "Room and Board". When he rang the doorbell, some cheesy salesman opened the door and sold Goober a pen/pencil. It was obviously a rooming house. But in RFD Andy hadn't moved away from Mayberry yet. (They mention his moving in season 2 episode 1 of RFD when he and Helen bring Andy, Jr. to show off.) To see Andy's house as a boarding house (like Mrs. Mendelbright's) was quite disheartening. I'm going to have to pour me some sweet cider and sit on the porch and count cars for a while to calm down.

Mayberry RFD another comment and Insecticide convention
I know the question about Barney on Mayberry RFD got answered. I have anothe RFD question. I have watched most of the episodes on Youtube, since DVDs of RFD are not readily available. Are all the episodes there? I have not found episodes such as Goober's Brother, and Millie the Secretary, the numbering seems to be off also. My book (Fernandes and Robinson's A Guide to Television's Mayberry RFD) says that Season two Ep 1 is Goober's brother..but the Youtube episode S2E01 is Andy's Baby. Any help would be appreciated. This week in my local paper (Westfield IN) the first sentence was "the 10th Fumigant and Pheremones Technical conferencebut for those in the pest control industry it was a can't miss event. IT was a bonafied international insecticide convention!! I'm dying to find out who sang the national anthem. I wonder if they did as good a job as Leonard Blush..or if they wore a mask??? Th next confernce in 2014 will be in Krakow Poland...so this year's event was the last chance for a while to sing our national anthem. This was a regular international event on the scale of Mayberry's the Summit. representatives from 33 countries attended!! You just never know when Mayberry is going to pop up.

Re: Why Aunt Bee left Mayberry RFD
> Does anyone know why Frances Bavier left Mayberry RFD after the second season? You'll most likely get several versions, this is just one from a Google Search I've driven past her multistory, red brick home in Siler City, and visited her grave. Siler City is peaceful, serene, and very small town sized. ~~~ Born in Manhattan, Bavier was a city girl. She went to college uptown at Columbia University. She began her showbiz career on vaudeville and Broadway stages. But something about the quiet life in the Carolinas appealed to her private personality. In 1972, not long after her final appearance on Mayberry R.F.D., Bavier left Hollywood and purchased a home in Siler City, North Carolina. Despite the fact that her TV shows were filmed in California, Bavier noted, "I fell in love with North Carolina, all the pretty roads and the trees." Siler City sits about 90 miles southeast of Mt. Airy, North Carolina, Griffith's hometown and the real-life inspiration for Mayberry. At the time, both little burgs were about the same size, with about 5,000–7,000 residents. It's easy to assume that life in Siler City was akin to living in Mayberry. Bavier lived the rest of her quiet life in the town, until she passed away in 1989. She was buried in Siler City. Chiseled on her tombstone, under the name "Aunt Bee," the inscription declares, "To live in the hearts of those left behind is not to die." ~~ Harriet, the chicken thief ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Re: blooper about Andy's house on Mayberry RFD
I would not categorize this as a blooper. I doubt if production personnel were implying it was the former Taylor house. It was just a 40 Acres set that was available for that day's RFD shooting schedule. If anything, staffers probably assumed that no one would notice... 50 years of reruns, fans, TAGSRWC, etc., have shown that to be an error in judgement. However... "An Efficient Service Station" aired March 1969, and by that time viewers were led to conclude that Andy, Helen and Opie have moved away from Mayberry. There were no specific, prior mentions establishing this, but the clues are there. Andy Griffith's last season 1 guest appearance was "Mike's Losing Streak" (aired January 1969); in "Aunt Bee's Cruise" (February 1969), Bee has a telephone conversation and is told the Taylors will return for her wedding to Capt. Wolford, implying they are no longer in Mayberry. And, in season 2's opener "Andy's Baby" (Sept. 1969) we learn that Andy and Helen moved away months earlier.

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. Goober slept in bright red pajamas. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mr. Schwamp Spotted in Season 3 of Mayberry RFD
In watching another episode of Mayberry RFD last night, I spotted our elusive Mr. Schwamp. I did a pause and it is definitely him. He appeared in Season 3, Episode 16 "Millie's Egg Farm". He was in the coffee shop having coffee at a table at the very end of the episode. He also appeared at the bachelor party for Andy in the episode Andy and Helen Get Married. I wonder if those trying to find his real identity have investigated the Mayberry RFD angle. If he was in the third season, he stayed around for quite a while. I am going to go through all my Mayberry RFD episodes to see if I spot him anywhere else. So, does anyone know if the RFD folks were contacted about him? -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
