Sue Ane Langdon trivia

I like to watch Leave it to Beaver along with our beloved TAGS.  When the credits are shown, I'll look up the names of obscure actors on the shows.  The name Grace Wallis Huddle was listed on Leave it to Beaver so I looked her up.  She just had that one acting credit but was also the mother of S

Upchurch

There are three times the name of Upchurch is used in TAGS.  The cow thief episode and two color shows.  I wonder why the writers used that name?  Just curious,  not wanting to make a big moulage out of it.Take it easy, don't burn out your valves,B. HigginsSent from my Galaxy ___

I recently noticed in "Goober Tales a Car Apart" a shadow on the street. When Goober is walking down the street and Gilly Walker (speed, speed, speed) pulls up, there is an arched shadow.

Sent from my GalaxyYes, Pluto brought back the color TAGS, but took off the black and white episodes except for just a few.  I wrote them again and asked that they show them in order,  first to last.  Not sure who's in charge there. Hopefully Pluto will find out how many true TAGS fans are watch

Pluto TV

The free streaming channel, Pluto TV, has removed all the color TAGS episodes as of this week. I have TAGS on every day and enjoy the variety of the black and white shows and color shows. There are color shows that I really like, such as the spaghetti dinner, Aunt Bee's rose, among so many others.

Bird loves Andy Griffith

I read a news article about a Cockatiel who had been missing for three years. He had flown out an open door of his owner's house. He was found on a church doorstep. An animal rescue was called to help catch him and they were able to track down where he previously lived. The owner said, "Play the An

We cancelled our cable and have an antenna for local and streaming for TV. I have TAGS on Pluto almost all day long. It's on in the background while I'm cleaning, cooking, eating lunch.

black/white/color

Sure, I prefer the black and white TAGS. But, I like the shows where the characters have developed better than the early ones. However, there are always exceptions. As far as the color shows, once in awhile TV Land will show them and I am always happy to watch. I enjoy them a lot. Favorites being t

Mayberry questions

I, too, have always wondered why Andy and Mary would leave a nice fire and relaxing evening and all of a sudden decide to go for a ride. Just didn't make sense to me. Also, Andy smoking in bed and allowing Opie to ride along in the squad car when going after a criminal. No seat belts, of course. "

With all the 24 hr bad news, I find myself watching mostly TAGS on TV Land, Sundance, and MeTV. It feels like home to me. Even though I can repeat the lines before they're said, I still laugh.

Ft. Lauderdale

I saw "Mrs. Mendelbright" on Gomer Pyle as Gomer's grandma. She mentioned Ft. Lauderdale when she was talking to Gomer. I thought this was funny because of her talking about the dresser in Barney's room coming "all the way from Ft. Lauderdale". She also looked younger, maybe because her hair

I, too, am enjoying the color shows on TV Land. I have grown to love them just like the B & W shows. I have my favorites, such as the "Well, what do you know, Spaghetti" show, or the one where Howard is blackballed. Goober really adds to quite a few of them, too. And, it is nice to see Maybe

Aunt Bee's car

If you look up Frances Bavier's profile online, it said that her car was still in the garage when she died. Due to the fact that she had so many cats, the car's interior had been badly damaged by all the cats roaming around on and inside the cat. Wonder whatever happened to that car? Brenda J.

Barney's car and Goober's last name

Maybe this has been discussed before, but why would Andy and Barney both take Mrs. Lesh's car back? One should drive the squad car and one should drive Barney's car. Otherwise, they would have no way to get back to Mayberry. I'm sure the writers would not have had a very interesting ending, t
