I don't get TV Land either, but the special I saw was on Nick at Nite. It
consisted of the special that aired on network TV around 1993, the one where
the men sing the Mayberry High song at the end of the show, wearing their
letterman jackets. Then there were two episodes of TAGS.
OK, so what did each of them letter in at Mayberry Union High?

If you have access to the WESTERN CHANNEL (a part of the ENCORE package on
satellite), they are showing the old black and white episodes of GUNSMOKE at
7 pm eastern every weekday. I usually see at least on TAGS cast member
everyday. Denver Pyle is on there quite often but I've seen a very young
Elizabeth MacRae (Lou ANN Pouvey), James Best (Jim Lindsey), Dabbs Greer,
Howard McNear and so many others. If you get this channel, check it out.

>>I just saw the episode today of "Stranger in town" episode # 10. At the
end
of the episode is seems like Ed Sawyer (the stranger) fits into Mayberry and
even buys the Filling Station. However...do we ever see him again?<<<
Josh, that's an interesting question that I have thought about as well. In
fact that episode, I believe, contains more characters that we never, or
rarely see again in Mayberry, than any other episode! (stranger indeed) To
answer your question, no we never see Ed again, nor do we see Lucy Matthews
(who he wants to call on), or Floyd the original barber, or Mrs. Buntley and
the twins, or Bill Matthews, or George Sepley!
The actor Pat Colby, who plays Bill Matthews returns once as Jimmy in "The
Filling Station Robbery". Jason and Pete return as extras 3 and 2 times
respectively. William Erwin, who plays George Sepley returns once in
Mayberry on Record, as an investor. Sara Seegar as Mrs. Buntley also has
just one more appearance as Mrs. Farmer in the Merchant of Mayberry.
So was Ed really the only Stranger in Town???
Here is my conspiracy theory. Ed married Lucy Matthews and starts his own
town. He becomes a lawyer and owns a bowling alley (oops sorry wrong Ed,
and wrong small town..that's Stuckeyville). When Ed goes to draw up the
papers on the filling station, he actually persuades George Sepley and Floyd
the Barber to come to his small town "Sawyerberry" with him, and fianci
Lucy. That cleared the way for Wally to buy the station, and Floyd Lawson
to take over the Barbershop. Think about it!!
Now Ed doesn't feel like a stranger anymore, and no deputies accuse him of
being an alien or a fereigner (spoken de deutch) Its entirely possible!
----------------
Here's a Trained Noticer comment on another episode, "Floyd the Gay
Deceiver". When Andy sits down with Madelyn Grayson to expose Floyd, before
he mentions that he is not Floyd's son, he say "When people start writing
letters in those groups like You and Floyd"...She is not surprised that he
called his "dad" Floyd!! She just lets him go on with his explanation. Not
so sharp after all is she?

IThe same night that the spscial aired on Nick at Nite, I understand that a
special also aired on "E!" network. I was out of town and asked my wife to
record it, but told her the wrong time (I forgot to adjust for Central Time
rather than Eastern). Did anyone see it? Is it worth watching?
Thanks....Skip

You might have seen him again if you watch "Newhart" (another show with a
great theme song). William Lanteau, Ed's alter ego, played the role of
Chester Wanamaker.
