Nice Dress Nellie on Newhart

Did anyone pursue this connection when we were trying to find out the name of the actress who plays Nellie? Since it is not a speaking part on the Newhart show either, I don't suppose it was ever listed in the credits. Ellen Message: 3 Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:57:42 -0600 From: Janet

Nice Dress Nellie sighting?

I have been recording The Bob Newhart show on The Hallmark Channel, since is comes on about 1:00 am. Last night I was watching one of the recorded episodes, it was about Bob's birthday. The surprise party guests come out of hiding and I really think one of them was nice dress Nellie. Did anyone

Helen's degree

Was it a Master's in Journalism? At least she was writing that thesis about organized crime. Ellen ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry kisses

The couple at the trailer parkThen the next day when they come to report the peeping Tom (who was really Barney) Barney puts on the fake nose from Opie's detective kit. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Mr. Potato Head

Since the Hasbro folks are producing an Elvis Mr. Potato Head, why can't they do a Barney Fife Mr. Potato Head? Just wondering, he seemed so fond of Mr. Potato Head that he actully bought one to rehabilitate a prisoner. Seems the least they could do! Ellen

Loaded Goat episode

This is one of my favorites. According to the Mayberry Memories book Jimmy's owner was Cy Hudgins. Just one letter off my maiden name, Hudgens. When Andy calls Cy Hudg I always think of my Dad saying he was called that a lot in the Army. He served in WW II. Ellen

Wally's Malcom Tucker

One thing I've wondered...The point was very well established that his car had gas, lots of gas. The filling station was only open for Gomer to pump gas. So why did Andy take Mr. Tucker over there in the first place? But, he did seem a sort of pushy type, maybe he forced the issue.

Women in the Barbershop

There was that woman reporter who wrote the column Meandering with Margaret who was in the barbershop. She was only there briefly because when she found out that Andy would kill a Carp she went home where that would never happen. Ellen ___ WBMUTBB

Divorce in Mayberry

Barney wished Mrs. Mendelbright's upcoming marriage to Mr. Fields would end in a quickie Mexican divorce...of course, the marriage never took place, so that may not count. But the word was mentioned. Ellen ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Electric clippers

I think the electric clippers would have been too noisy...Of course, Floyd could have just pretended to be actually cutting the hair with them, same as he did with the scissors. But might have been more noticeable that he was just pretending. Ellen

Nathan Tibbs episode

I'm sure there is a logical explanation, but how did the Ladies' Historical Society know there was a direct descendent of Nathan Tibbs living in Mayberry but not know who he was? Seems the tracing might have gone the other way. But I'm not much into geneology so maybe if a person knows enough

A duck pond

I subscribe electronilly to my hometown newspaper. Well, as close as I can get to my hometown. My hometown is Waldo, Arkansas. The newspaper is the Banner News from Magnolia, Arkansas. Sort of like Mayberry/Mt. Pilot, I suppose. Anyway, according to the Friday edition, the college in Magnolia

In defense of choir robes

Hi all, Just my take on Aunt Bee and the choir robes, from the  ladies' point of view. Yes, it could have seemed she and the others were being a bit pushy but I can just see it now. They had probably baked countless cakes and pies for charity bake sales, raising funds for choir robes. Then at

Letter in Dear Abby

Did anyone read Dear Abby on March 6 and think of Floyd Lawson? The headline in one paper said False Profile About to Rear Its Ugly Head...and Abby even said others in the letter writing group might have misrepresented themselves as well! Sure sounded like an outline of Floyd, the Gay Deceiver

Valentine's Day in Mayberry

Is there a reference to Valentine's Day in any episode? I can't think of any, not even when the Morrison sisters were talking about all the valid reasons for nipping. Ellen ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Goober Thelma Lou in Church

I believe Goober, like Thelma Lou is never seen in church.  But we can safely assume, I think, that Thelma Lou did attend the same church as Edgar Coleman...At least they were gluing the covers back on some hymn books you recall. Ellen ___ WBMUTBB

The Big House, again

Check out this piece in the Sunday paper here in Northwest Arkansas. This refers to an incident the other day where a prisoner being booked slipped out of his cuffs, snatched the key from a desk and made a run for it. I  All this was caught on surveillance tape and then shown on the news! Not

Vices

I remember thinking it odd one time when Aunt Bee mentioned some homemade wine that Andy made...Was it the episode with Frank and the blamed grading book? Can't remember for sure, but I do know Aunt Bee was trying to point out Andy's talents. Didn't show them drinking the wine, but I just

Opie crying

Seems like I remember that he puddled up a little bit when Andy was trying to get him to say Mr. McBeevee was just make believe. Don't remember if the tears actually fell or not. And on another note, saw in our Sunday paper where a lot of stuff not allowed was found in a Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Arkansas TAGS fans

As another TAGS fan in Arkansas, I've already challenged that only part...When you find the card, maybe we could have the letter written from both of us! By the way, if you don't mind my asking...what part of Arkansas are you from? Ellen Being as I grew up in Arkansas and am a

Opie's tonsils

I was watching the episode where the new doctor in town removes Opie's tonsils...it implies the surgery was done at the doctor's office. Then I started thinking about when I was growing up in Waldo, AR. Seems that one doctor did have a small hospital with his office, all at his residence. Don't

Taylor house

Just wondering if anyone has ever sketched out a floor plan of the Taylor house... Ellen ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Thelma Lou's name

I can't remember...in the class reunion episode where she introduces her husband of 6 weeks to Andy and Barney and breaks Barney's heart...did she say what his last name was? And along those same lines, how was that guy accounted for when she and Barney were married? I have never seen the show

Andy's Expression

I think he is referring to the chili having so many spices that it makes his face break out in a sweat. But it is s spicy, his whole head gets all wet! Ellen ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Barney tobacco

I watched the Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfttt! episode last night. I had not remembered that when describing his perfect den, Barney says he wants to be alone and smoke his pipe there after a hard day enforcing the law. Ellen ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

Barney's shirt pocket

Just thinking...Doesn't Barney pull his ticket book from his back pocket? So could he have his wallet in the shirt pocket? Remember, he stashes cash all over...pulls cash from his hat, sock, when starting the Save the Scobey's fund. As for the lighter in the Loaded Goat episode, I always just

Andy's room outside door

I noticed this first in the episode about Opie and the bully...Looks like you can see the side of the house, the door is open. You can catch this in the scene where Opie takes the extra clothes for Andy to keep at the courthouse in case he shoould get dirty. At least that's where I think it

Military service age

I've noticed in the class reunion episode the banner reads Class of 1945. Andy in earlier episodes mentions being in Paris during the war (He says it is a good smelling country, or something to that effect)...In the Quiet Sam eposide Barney says he did his part to defeat the dreaded Hun. So how

Jack the Giant Killer

Well, having grown up in Southern Arkansas, I've always heard that as I'll grind his bones to eat with my pones as in a pone of cornbread. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com
