TAGS related pet names

We have had several pets with "TAGS" names. My favorite was a black lab named "Thelma Lou". She had a very good personality, a little shy at first, but she warmed up to people very quickly. She was quiet for the most part and very loyal. She was really a good dog. Some of the others we have ha

Politically Incorrect

In Barney's Room episode, when Ms. Mendlebright says she's getting married, Barney says he hopes it ends in a "quickie Mexican divorce" . That probably wouldn't be the best choice of words now days. On another note, does anyone on the digest know of an active TAGS Chapter in North Central Arka

Aunt Bee and Opie

Ken, In "The New Housekeeper" episode, Aunt Bee is leaving and Opie runs outside and is wanting Aunt Bee to stay, He says she doesn't know how to do anything, play baseball, catch fish, or hunt frogs...the he says "She needs me" and he falls into her arms and they hug each other. I think it wa

Baileys' Bad Boy

I was watching the episode where Ron Bailey sideswipes Fletch and runs him off the road. When Andy and Barney were helping him pick up his produce, I noticed that Fletch's truck was an old Chevy pickup. You can clearly see "Chevrolet" on the tailgate in the first shot of Fletch. But then in the

WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 12, Issue 382 "baby blues"

Ken, Several years ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a "Mayberry Reunion" type program in Branson, MO. There were several cast members there such as, Ernest T., Goober, Charlene and the Darlin' boys, and yes, even "Ole Barn". It is most definitely one of the highlights of my lif

Favorite Lines

It's so hard to narrow my favorite lines down to a manageable list. However, there is one line that I have to say is my very favorite. It's from Barney at Mrs. Wiley's party . He's talking about the how ugly the girls are. He says, "Dogs, nothing but dogs. Andy, if you flew a quail through this

"bugged"

Hey Barb, I remember 3 show off hand that contains bugs. 1. The Pickle story where Barney tries to shoo away a fly off the kerosene cucumbers but it's already dead. 2. The episode of the visiting Preacher where Opie catches a fly in his hand during church. 3. I think it's the episode of Newt

instruments

In the episode where the church is trying to by an organ from a gentleman. (I don't recall his name in this episode but he also played Mr. Hendricks, the butter and egg man.) Anyway, when they go to look at the organ, I believe that Andy plays the organ briefly at the home. Steve in Arkansas

Janet Waldo

Hey Greg, I believe "Amanda" was in the episode where Barney is trying to find a wife for Andy. He calls a group of ladies to Andy's house telling them Thelma Lou wants to speak to them. He thought Andy could pick one out of the group. Amanda is the first lady to arrive at Andy's house. I th

A man tied to a tree

I have been watching the comments on how Andy was able to capture this convict and tie him to a tree single handed. I think we're forgetting who we're talking about. My opinion is that he was able to do it because he was "Andy". Obviously, Andy was aware that he was an escapee when he first sa

Laughing Out Loud

There are so many funny lines that I laugh at a lot. But the one that always, always, gets me is when Andy and Barney are at Ms. Wileys' with Earnest T. Barney makes the comment that "the pickens are pretty slim". The he says,.(excuse me , I'm already laughing) any way, Barney says, "And

Barney's clothes

I believe there is one other time I haven't seen mentioned yet. If it was mentioned, I apologize. I'm thinking of the time when "Opie Taylor, SR." (Gomer) and "Dr. Pendike, DVM" (Barney) went to try to get the boys money back form the Miracle Salve Company. They were both dressed in suits then.

Holding court at the courthouse

Andrew, Don't forget the time when they had a hearing to see if Andy was going to be removed from office after Barney told those things to that "college kid" that was actually a reporter for Mr. Jackson. Steve in Arkansas "I can take some manners and some cleanin' up, but I ain't about to be b

fibs in Mayberry

Mari Ellen, One that comes to mind is when Barney thinks he has arrested the robber of the drug store and he is trying to convince Andy that he really is the robber. Barney says "Andy, there's been a robbery ain't there?" Andy replies, slowly, "Well.yeah" Of course, as you mention

vices

Mr Hendricks, I believe Andy did partake a little on National Still Bustin' Day when Andy and Barney are at the Morriston Sister's and Barney takes that "Great big axe and goes pow, pow, pow!!" And also when Otis is named a hero for being kin to ole Nathan Tibbs, I think they all had a little sn

another dramatic moment

I think one of mt favorite "dramatic moments" i.e. tear jerker , is in the episode of Opie loosing the 50 yard dash. He comes in the Sheriff's Office and walks up to Andy and says, "Pa, I don't want you to be disappointed in me..." And then Andy swallows hard and gives Opie a big hug. Ge

mayberry businesses

Ken, I don't know exactly what the place was but what about the building where Ernest T. took his physical for the army? It was somewhere in the business district of Mayberry but I don't recall seeing a sign or name of the building. It may have been in one of the buildings you mention but I ju

Hey Kathy, You remember that...it's just slipped you mind That's when old Jed threw a checkerboard full of checkers, "Could a blinded somebody, and he called ol'e Chester Jenkins a "two- faced cheatin' liar" . Barney arrested him for disturbing the peace. He came in and told Andy

"smells"

I just had to add the smell of Emma's freshed baked pies sittin in the window when that escaped convict comes through mayberry and Andy had an idea that he just might stop off at Emma's house because he would smell them pies. "It's hard for an ordinary person to pass that up but you can just im

Andy Griffith Trivia

Mr. Schwump, Mayor Stoner refers to him as "Andrew" as does Howard's mother, Mrs. Spraig. I beleive Andy himself mentions the name "Andrew" in the episode where they travel to Hollywood and he makes a dinner reservation. Steve Ain't we lucky to be livin in such a friendly town??? -- I am

trivia questions

Joe, I think that there may be two other possibilities to the question of Otis appearing in an episode and not being in jail or drunk. I mentioned the Mr. Goss episode and now I am wandering about the episode of "Goodbye Sheriff Taylor". I can't really remember Otis being drunk or in jail on
