Mayberry sighting on an early Columbo episode
Recently watched a Columbo episode from 1971 called "Ransom for a Dead Man", and thought a face looked familiar. The character's name was Paul Williams, who was quickly disposed of by his wife, played by Lee Grant during the opening scene of the episode. After checking IMDB, I realized the actor, Harlan Warde, appeared in 2 TAGS episodes: - Barney Fife, Realtor (1965) ... Mr. Williams- Opie and the Spoiled Kid (1963) ... Simon Winkler Ironically he played a Mr. Williams in the episode where Barney was a realtor. He played Howie's father (I thought Howie's last name was Pruitt) and lived in the house that Andy/Bee thought they wanted (the Williams place), but it turns out the house had furnace problems and a foot of water in the basement. He portrayed Arnold Winkler's father in "Opie and the Spoiled Kid" episode. After realizing his boy Arnold was way out of line discipline-wise, and took him out to the "good old fashioned" woodshed behind the Mayberry courthouse for some well deserved corporal punishment. If anyone is interested, there's an excellent website dedicated to Columbo, one of the best characters/detective shows in history. They really get deep into all things Columbo, and there are others TAGS alumni that have appeared on Columbo episodes. Columbo's first run of episodes (the classics), along with TAGS complete episodes are both now on Amazon Prime, although the Columbo's are "free with commercials", which you can't fast forward through. TAGS show the original episodes along with the epilogues, commercial free. Cheers. http://www.columbophile.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

This morning my wife, that is the lady I am married to, was watching a couple of episodes of "The Rifleman". He has more than one bullet in his gun. Well to make a long story longer, I heard a couple of familiar voices. One belonged to Wally Cleaver's girlfriend Jody Foster and the other was no other than our own Mr. Fred Goss. He was a telegraph operator. Must not have made much money so that is why he moved east to Mayberry and opened his cleaning business. We are off to a car show at the Classic Garage Diner today and then tomorrow we have a parade at a Broiler Festival. "Tomorrow. The best day. Why there isn't anything a person cannot do. Tomorrow."

I was watching a very old episode of Dragnet when I had a Mayberry sighting. Sergeant Joe Friday's partner was Sergeant Ed Jacobs who later appeared in Mayberry as escaped convict Eddie Brooks. Brooks was the man Barney "tackled" on Main Street which led to Brook's arrest. Now I wonder what would cause a successful Las Angeles policeman to go bad and end up as an escaped prisoner in Mayberry. -- 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.wbmutbb.com/

Mayberry sighting
Reading Angel Lane by Sheila Roberts and one of the three main characters compares her hometown of Angel Falls, WA to Mayberry. Another compares it to Bedford Falls without Mr. Potter. That started me to thinking. Did Mayberry have a Mr Potter? Somebody who truly didn't care about others? Even Ernest T Bass had his good moments as did Ben Weaver.

I had the most wonderful Mayberry sighting tonight on New Years Eve. Antenna TV is running a Jack Benny/George Burns marathon, and I was watching a Jack Benny episode where he goes to a restaurant with Jimmy Stewart and Gloria Stewart.While there, Jack and his date decide to do a little dancing. Out on the dance floor, Jack's date bumps into Rolfe Sedan (veteran character actor who was a regular as the postman on George Burns).Rolfe Sedan stops dancing and turns to Jack and his date to say Please excuse me.Well, you would never guess in a million tries who Rolfe Sedan was dancing with.Since you cannot guess, I think I will tell you, it was Nice Dress Nelly. She was featured in a close up shot and for a second I thought she was going to say something.Later in the show I spotted her sitting at a table in the restaurant.That is the first time I have ever found her in any show but TAGS.I watched the credits, but they did not post her name, shucks .Orville Hendricks - Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man.Happy New Year Everyone.Eat more eggs. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry Sighting and Andy's Job
Haven't posted in a while, sorry about that. Flipped over to one of the retro channels the other night and watched Perry Mason. Who did I see on the witness stand..the lovely Jean Carson or Daphne from Mt. Pilot. I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but I was wondering something the other day. I wonder what Andy Taylor did for a living before he became Sheriff of Mayberry. I wonder if he was a deputy or worked at the pickle factory or at the gas works. We know he didn't get right out of school and become sheriff. Anyone have any ideas? Harry in Salem, VA ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Was watching an early episode of Leave it to Beaver today and before there was a Gus at the firehouse, there was a Pete. Played by none other than the original Ben Weaver actor.

Today I saw Mayberry's very own lovely Joanna Moore, aka, Peggy McMillan, on an old Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode entitled Post Mortem.

Well, actually a hearing. There's a Christian comedian that I've heard on the radio several times. I don't know her name, but she speaks with a rather strong Southern accent. I heard one of her bits today in which she was talking about watching TV as a child. Her parents were careful about what the family watched, so the only programs she ever saw were evangelists, news documentaries and Andy Griffith. She went on to say that these days, the stuff on the news tends to be so negative that the only thing left worth watching is Andy Griffith.

Had a Mayberry sighting over the weekend. Sunday on one of the HD channels they were showing Advise and Consent, the politcal drama from 1962. Great movie with a great cast. During several scenes shot on the U.S Senate floor, they showed extras who played senators not involved in the plot of the movie. At a desk on the back row of the senate floor was Tom Jacobs, often scene as a TAGS extra and brother of Danny Thomas.
