The Darlings Are Coming
Hey Mayberrians! Today, if anyone were to ask me about The Darlings on TAGS, I would have to say there were a cross between The Beverly Hillbillies and Hee Haw! I really enjoyed their first appearance on TAGS.

The Darlings Are Coming
Hi Mayberians, In "The Darlings are Coming", there is a scene where Charlene is chasing Andy around the office. Andy jumps over the banister (I think that is what it is called...lol) and then he says, "Charlene, I am old enough to be your father!" Then Charlene utters something. I cannot understand what her response was even after I viewed that episode several times over. Can someone tell me what Charlene said to Andy after he told her he was old enough to be her father? Also, I saw on a later episode, when the Darlings returned, that she had divorced Dudd. Why did she divorce Dudd? Too bad because I felt that mostly marriages would have survived during that time. Didn't she still have the hots for Andy? I think she did.

"The Darlings Are Coming"
THE DARLINGS ARE COMING..I have watched and re-watched this great episodes so many times. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I discovered that the man who played "Brisco Darling" was actually Denver Pyle, the beloved "Uncle Jessie" from The Dukes Of Hazzard. I was so shocked! I wonder could he really "jug" in real life like he did no this episode. I guess that was my first taste of blue grass music. They are can really play, can't they? Anyone heard anything recently about the lady who played Charlene? I did go to a website to look for info on THE DILLIARDS (that was the real name for the Darlings) and I think some of the guys are still living. Great musicians. One of my favorite lines from The Darlings episodes was what Brisco told Andy while they were in front of the horse's trough.."...she's promised so don't go making any fancies for her" and "...just see that it don't" or something like that...lol Sincerely, Valerie ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
The Darlings Are Coming
I just watched this episode and heard Aunt Bee say something I had not caught before. When the Darlings had eaten in the jail cell and Aunt Bee was picking up the dishes she referred to Mr. Darling as "Mr. Briscoe". Maybe she "specializing" on him then! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
"The Darlings Are Coming"
On Friday I read a post by Joe Suszcynski about the Darlings in the Mayberry jail when they were eating the Navy beans. This is the only scene I have seen where any of the boys says anything. I can hear one say "About to Pop" and right off the top of my head I think one says something else. You can see their mouths move during the scene also (or at least I can). This has been discussed and discussed about "IF" the boys say anything. What are some other opinions on the scene as to "IF" they actually speak during this scene or not?

"The Darlings Are Coming"
Last night, I was on the "Remembering Mayberry" website, and happened to be looking at Maggie (Charlene Darling) Peterson's script from "The Darlings Are Coming" when that actual episode came on MeTV. I couldn't believe the coincidence. I thought it would be fun and interesting to follow the script while watching the program to look for differences and changes; there were more than I expected. The pages were all in light blue, which indicates , as Randy Turner mentioned in his excellent blog posts about researching the TAGS scripts at UNC, that they were revised from the original script. There were handwritten notes throughout the script written by Maggie, which were pretty interesting. The first thing I noticed was on the third page of script, listing the cast. The hotel clerk was named "Walter Harris", and there was no actor listed yet for the part - obviously this changed when they cast Olan Soule as the clerk, and used the name "John Masters" that was used in other episodes when he was the choir director. Also, there were only 2 Darling boys mentioned, "Jebbin" and "Frankie" - these parts were not cast yet either. So, at some point soon afterwards, the decision was made to add 2 more Darling boys. Reading the script along with the show surprised me with the frequent changes in words and dialogue, mostly minor, but some very interesting. For example, when Andy is waiting at the bottom of the rope outside the hotel and catches the first Darling boy, the script has "Frankie" saying "Thank ya" - but as we know, in the filmed version he says nothing. In the jail cell scene, the script (and Maggie's notes) show that during the song, Andy was supposed to pull a chair up *outside* the cell where he played the guitar along with the Darlings. Charlene was supposed to get up and dance around the cell to the music. But, as we know, in the filmed final version, Andy sat *inside* the cell while Charlene sat still but kept touching him with her foot. Also in the cell, just prior to the music, Aunt Bee says something to Charlene like "You're a pretty young thing, aren't you ?" - but in the script, this line is not there. Aunt Bee just asks Briscoe if he liked the beans. In the script, and in the full filmed episode, the Darlings and Andy played a second song: "Salty Dog" - this song is cut from most of the syndicated episodes, Finally, near the end of the episode when Charlene is chasing Andy around the courthouse, the script says that Charlene is about to put her arms around Andy when Briscoe opens the door and enters, and yanks Charlene away. But, as we all know, in the final filmed version, Charlene had Andy wrapped up in a big hug and doesn't let go even when Briscoe enters. So, I know this was pretty long, but I couldn't help it - it was just so interesting to read the script along with the actors and note the differences.
