I know that TVLand has been a hot topic on here at times, but I have to say that I had a great six weeks this summer with Andy on the channel each weekday morning, then I had a great day cleaning house all day today while listening/watching Andy. I have played my DVD's all day on a holiday such

I'm just curious...

Hello, Fellers, I've noticed a few things lately that are preying on my mind: 1. In the show when Sheldon was going to give Opie a black eye if he didn't hand over a nickel, I noticed that Andy's bedroom has an opening like a walk-out patio in it - he was near it when Opie showed up to give hi

Pet names

For 19 1/2 years I had an orange tabby cat named Opie. He was truly my best friend. When I had to have him euthanized due to renal failure, I was devastated. It took a long time to get over it, but it's finally better. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMU

Barney's apartment

In the episode where Barney is cooking chili in his apartment and Mrs. Mendlebright smells it, there is no refrigerator to the right of the door. However, in the episode where the crook puts drops in Barney's milk, there is a refrigerator to the right of the door, near Barney's bed. My questio

I agree with Johnna from Fayetteville. I was excited to buy People magazine, but when I saw how little space they gave our dear Andy, I put it right back. I don't even know Katie and Tom's problem, but it doesn't deserve more space than the passing of a true entertainment legend. Yes, so sad.

RIP

Just heard the news - Andy Griffith passed this morning. We're never ready for it, are we? Andy was the best - still the best show on TV in my opinion. His show has influenced my family and me in more ways than we can count. When we actually quote lines from the show and smile with that unde

Happy Birthday, Andy!

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest actors ever to share his talent with us. He will never know what an inspiration his show is to me...life lessons, little times of trials and tribulations when I think "WWAD?". Thank you, Mr. Griffith, for being a part of TV history and our lives forever. _

There was the doctor (played by "Fr. Mulcahy") who took out Opie's tonsils and Andy was leary of the operation from an inexperienced doctor. Barney was Dr. Pendike selling Miracle Salve. Does that count? While we're on this train of thought, how many people are seen or mentioned in he show wit

In tonight's episode of "High Noon in Mayberry" Barney received an investment check for 27 cents. Just wondered what that might be in 2010 money. Anybody know? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Dillards

Congrats to the Dillards for their accomplishments. I feel compelled to share a story about them. On July 5, 2008, I attended the Sally Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Queen City, Missouri, Rhonda Vincent's old stomping ground and the festival that's hosted by her parents, Johnny and Carolyn. Rodn

Alaska

My mom and I returned home Monday night (which happened to be Andy's birthday) from a wonderful Alaskan cruise, a trip of a lifetime. While on water, I sure was glad Henry was not there to jinx us! Rocking to and fro at night in bed was pure adventure sleepin'! Standing on our balcony observing

Pets

I had an orange tabby cat, Opie. He joined my household when he was six weeks old, and he was euthanized last year on October 29, left me after 19 1/2 years. It was quite a change without him, but my outside kitties have helped immensely, especially Mayberry, my calico with an attitude. :) ___

New cats in town

Last October I had to put my dear orange tabby cat Opie to sleep due to old age - he wasn't a spring chicken anymore. I had/have many outside kitties, and my best friend named a special one Mayberry. She's quite a young fun gal - just turned a year old this month, and last night, Mayberry had

My numerical idea for admission

Be great if it was some numerical amount linked to the show maybe someone could come with a numerical # close to 3 dollars that would be fitting for the show. Anyone have any ideas? I think 6 and 7/8 of a dollar would be ideal! Maybe paying $13.50 like Barney did for Thelma Lou's fur would

Thanks for the notes

Dear TAGS friends, I am truly touched that so many of you wrote me a personal note to send condolences about losing my dear Opie cat. Monday was one of the saddest days of my life. It has been a quiet, sad couple of days for me. For almost 20 years I have rushed home from college or work jus

Today I lost my pet Opie

Dear Mayberry Friends, Today I had to have my orange tabby cat, Opie, euthanized. He was my best buddy for 19 1/2 years. I have been a TAGS fan all my life; testimony to that is naming my dear pet after a character! The doc said it was renal failure, and even though I selfishly wanted to kee

Barney's appliance

I have a question that's been preyin' on my mind. In the episode where the gangster is in Barney's apartment and puts knock-out drops in the milk, I noticed a huge "something" on top of the refrigerator. What is that??? I can't even imagine. Thanks! __

Waitress

I was so excited to see Waitress last weekend! I REALLY enjoyed it. I have to respectfully disagree with Aunt Bee and others who have not recommended the movie. It's a Hollywood story, remember, and we can't expect it to be Mayberry-like just because Andy is in it. It was GREAT seeing Andy o

Jim Nabors's hometown

Hey - I'm planning my vacation for this August, and I'm heading into Mississippi (Tunica and Tupelo) and into Alabama (mainly to take my mom on the Hank Williams, Sr. Trail). Today I located Jim Nabors's hometown, Sylacauga. Is there a museum there devoted to Jim/Gomer? What can folks in that

I own two pairs of the TAGS sleep pants, but I'm wondering if any of you out there know of any material that is available to purchase that is TAGS related. My mom is a hand quilter, and we're always looking for different, off-beat, one-of-a-kind type of material to include in her quilts. I kno

Well, I can't let this subject go by without sharin' my favorite scene of all times. It's the episode when Andy spends lots of time with Peg, and Opie gets jealous and worried that his pa won't have time for him anymore. Peg leaves a message with Opie at the jail, but Opie accidentally drops i

Opie's name

Lori asked about Opie's name. On one of my two visits to Mt. Airy, I was priviledged to visit with Russell Hyatt (both visits) and once with Andy's real-life cousin Virginia Gilly. They both shared that Andy liked to name characters on the show after folks back home, just his way of saying "He
