Standard Equipment

Sometimes I wonder if each and every local sherriff's department in this country, as well as every police dept and highway patrol, had at least the first five seasons of TAGS on DVD in their lounges,( or wherever they go to relax during their breaks ) what kind of a shift that would make in our soc

Uncut episodes of TAGS

Does anyone know of there was released uncut episodes of TAGS vs. cut episodes on DVDs. I'm looking to buy the entire set of 249 episodes, but would like to be sure they are all uncut. Appreciate it. Patty ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com h

Recalling a scene

Does anyone recall Andy actually being shown in swim trunks and swimming in the episode, Andy's Trip To Raleigh? I am hoping to get a complete TAGS set that has that scene included. From the other episodes I have watched here and there, it seems to have been cut out. Or maybe I have my episode

Barney's Car

Maybe that car Barney drove, could have been Barney's mothers car, that he borrowed from her time to time? If it was, I think if someone were to refer to Barney driving that car, it would be easier to say "Barney's car" ( since he is driving it) than "Barney's mothers car" Right? Maybe? Maybe

WW II and Andy

We visited a battle ship in North Carolina several years ago. It's a museum now. It was fascinating. When I made the comment to one of out elders in the group we were taveling with, about the average age of a kid on one of these boats was 19, he quickly replied, " No there were guys as young as 16.

Funniest scene

Ah my all time favorite Barney Fife saying. So much truth to it too. Adams sure had it right. Exactillioso! Thanks for looking that up Harriet. "Nip it. Nip it. You got to nip these things in the bud. Its the only way Andy! Nip it nip it nip it!" Or something like that as I recall..

Robin Hood

In Opie's Merry Men Andy states that there are laws to help the poor through taxes, and for those too old or too sick and can not work. The point of that episode, and anyone can correct me if I am wrong, is that people who can work, should be encouraged to. I will add... And not be used as polit

Robin Hood

I forgot to add and please add this? In the end of that episode there weren't any county jobs Andy confessed to Opie. The Sheriff told a lie. Opie calls Andy on the carpet. One main reason I like TAGS so much is that often there is an intersting twist at the end, and with a point. ___

"Emmets Fix It Shop." I have been noticing that too Ken. I'm watching all the re-runs of Mayberry RFD now and Emmet is a main character in so many of the episodes. Much to observe with it all and I'm enjoying it. And that keeps my sanity is the somewhat nutty world we live in. We can be in it b

Mayberry Prices

Prices. I like to do comparisons of prices then and prices now. Take your basic haircut. The price on TAGS is consistent with local prices here in California. Not in fancy salons, but places like a barber shop and haircut chains like Supercuts. Patty In California, but not of it. ___

Roast Beef

I assume since Aunt Bee was an excellent cook (pickles not included) she knew when you take any roast out of the oven, it's best to let it sit/rest 20 minutes before it is carved/served. Otherwise most the juices will run out of the meat. That's why it didn't burn Andy and why he could hold it with
