Mayberry sighting on an early Columbo episode

2020-06-29 Thread David and Angela Forbus
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

I remember that Walter Baldwin (The Best Years of our Lives, The Lost Weekend) was the original Floyd the Barber in one episode.  I recently did a double-take when I recognized him in Rosemarys Baby.  Hope Summers (Clara) was also in the movie.   I'm sure its been discussed here previously, but

Most despicable characters in Mayberry

Mayor Stoner, hands down.  Though Parley Baer was a fine human being and excellent character actor and voice-over man (Winnie the Pooh), Mayor Stoner was a dreadful individual.  Full of graft/corruption, greed, jealousy and distrust of his employees and others around him, he epitomized what it

Barney the Lawman

During the Barney the Lawman episode when Allen Melvin and the other vegetable salesman are topping of their radiator water at Wally's, and overhear the guys laughing about Barney Fife, does Floyd say something about Barney using his pistol to 'start the potato sack race at the Mason's picnic'? 

TAGS/Oscar winner

I thought that maybe The Meathead (Rob Reiner) may have won an Oscar.  He's won an emmy, and has been nominated for an Academy and Golden Globe award, but never won an Oscar for his acting, writing, producing, or directing.  I believe he may have been part of a picture or 2 that won Oscars,

TAGS on DVD

I found a good deal on TAGS episodes on DVD ($16.99 per season), which include epilogues and commercials (lots of Sanka commercials).  I was wondering which was the last season of black white episodes.  Was it 1964 or '65?  Was that season 5 or 6?  I found seasons 2 3 at a local store, but

On memorial Day, we watched The Dirty Dozen and Kelly's Heroes (both classics) for the hundredth time, at least.  This time I noticed that one of Carroll O'Connor's staff (O'Connor played a General in Kelly's Heroes) was the same character who was in the TAGS episode #42 (The Club Men), where
