Food

In response to Elizabeth’s question, this from Rodney Dillard. “Food was real, they did eat it. Was catered in probably the Commissary. It would get cold after a few takes. Ice cream was usually mashed potatoes so it wouldn't melt under the lights... Blessings, Rodney” In the Service of the

Nurse Mary

Not to make a "moulage" out of the Nurse Mary case (as opposed to the Sam Becker case), I have always assumed the character was the same for both episodes, because the Mayberry.info website identifies the character in The County Nurse and Three's a Crowd as "Mary Simpson." Also this entry from

I have noticed that, Eric Swolgaard. I backed it up to see if my eyes fooled me, but it is as you point out. Count Istvan Teleky must be around here somewhere. In the Service of the King, Larry J. Grainger http://alcmtjuliet.com ___ WBMUTBB

Musings on why some things don't make sense and Floyd in Tennessee

I seem to recall reading that many of the writers drew from their memories and experiences growing up in the 20's and 30's and incorporated these into the storylines. Andy actually said once the show was intended to be set in the 30's; he must have meant culturally. And Welcome to Mt Juliet,

Biblical names

However I could only think of one other main character on TAGS with a biblical name, can you think of who it is? David Quinn, that would be Gomer. In the Service of the King, Larry J. Grainger http://alcmtjuliet.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

Marijuana

Jim and Nancy, While on the subject of smoking, on what episode was there a reference to marijuana? The episode you are referencing is Quiet Sam. Barney suggested the reason he was farming at night was he was growing marijuana. In the Service of the King, Larry J. Grainger

Citizen's Arrest

I could swear he tells Barney who is in the other cell that Floyd's filling station was robbed. Dave, I can see how it sounded like that, but if you listen carefully, he actually says Wally's filling station has been robbed. By the way, Amazon Video (amazon.com) has all the seasons of TAGS,

Jerry Miller

If I had my way,Jerry Miller would have been the new deputy... Dan, it is my understanding that Jerry Van Dyke could have stayed on as the new deputy, but he made the dreadful mistake of choosing instead the lead role in My Mother the Car, which lasted a grand total of 30 episodes. What would

Fish for Breakfast

I must admit that I have never heard of anyone having fish for breakfast... Paul Mulik Paul, Here's an interesting instance of someone eating fish for breakfast. Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast'...Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. John

So, when did Thelma Lou punch Barney in the nose?

That would be the episode A Date for Gomer, when a date was arranged between Gomer and Thelma Lou's cousin, Mary Grace. After Gomer had seemingly bailed on Mary Grace and the other four were on their way to the dance, you hear the sound of a whack from the back seat and then we see Barney

Goober Beasley

By the way I noticed that Andy introduces Goober as Goober Beasley to the tv producer for Sheriff without a gun but later on inthe series Goober gets the name Pyle. Curious, curious. David Oberly David, several years ago I had a close friend ask George Lindsey about that, because I had

RE: For the Extry Good Trained Noticers

While watching a very familiar TAGS episode yesterday I spotted a short, 3 second clip where the film had been reversed, or flipped if you will. I noticed it first by observing that something just didn't look accurate with the Mayberry landscape, and upon further (DVD) review, found concrete

G Men

Quoting Everett Greenbaum (the co-writer of the episode The Bank Job,) There was no actual movie G Men with Glenn Ford, admits Everett. Barney was the type who could get all worked up after seeing a B-grade police picture and G Men sounded like the typical title given that type of film. This

Charactor Actors

jgr...@frontier.com nailed the trivia question concerning what character actor(s) played the most roles on TAGS. It is certainly Mary Lansing (12) and Bob McQuain (11). Susan Blank was real close as Allan Melvin portrayed 8 different characters. Adding in 9 for Don Knotts (thanks

Character Actors

I wanted to submit a trivia question that had me thinking (yes with my bucket on my head). What actor/actress played the most different characters both credited and uncredited on TAGS. This is with the exception of Tom Jacobs who appeared in just about every episode in the first few
