Charles Lane

I was interested to read of the passing of Charles Lane, who played Mr. Frisbee in "Aunt Bee the Crusader." Didn't he also play the guy who tried to put shoes on the bull in "The Cow Thief"? (I believe his name was Luke). Also, if I'm not mistaken, he played Mr. Potter's rent collector in "It's

Opie and Miss Crump

>>Now I know that your son an air is definitely not it so any help would be very much appreciated!! Sandy, I believe the phrase is "...your son and heir." It's not an expression we ever used in my neck of the woods, but it sounds like a lot of other phraseology we use in the South which places ad

Walter Baldwin

Y'all were talking about Walter Baldwin, the first Floyd ("Next!!"). Here's a piece of trivia: I know I've seen him in some other things, but it's interesting that he had a prominent role in "The Best Years of Our Lives." He played the father of Homer, one of the lead characters. That movie too

Exotic Ice Cream Flavor

Would that flavor be the West Indian Licorice Mocha Delight that Barney brought to Thelma Lou. I forget the name of the episode but it's the one where Thelma Lou needs a date for her cousin Mary Grace. "Nice, she's so nice" and they find Gomer, "Tall, dark and door prize!" Marie, the episo

License Plates

Martin's mentioning license places got me to thinking: There used to be a fella on here who sold real 1960 JL-327 North Carolina license plates...at least they looked real. Does anybody have a contact number for him? I didn't buy one at the time and have kicked myself ever since. Thanks for any

Thinkin' and Noticin'

All this talk about the lunch counter is making me hungry. I wish they still had those. I remember them in Walgreen's, Woolworth's, and just about any other drug or dime store worth its salt. I've been thinkin' about all that, though. I believe Otis and Barney refer to the "Lunchroom," not the

Replacement Discs

Well, I have to add my kudos to Paramount for the others that have already appeared here. I received my replacement discs today, after only about four or five days. First of all, I'm impressed that Paramount would do this in the first place, and second, that they would be so prompt. I really app
