Hi all you noticers out there - I just received my collector series barber shop/tv repair bldg. I am very disappointed in these bldgs. They are plastic instead of ceramic and this one doesn't even come close to looking like Floyd's shop. Anybody else have the same thoughts? All my best to you

I recently rec'd my first Mayberry Christmas series building - the Courthouse. Those of you thinking of ordering should know - these are not the porcelain buildings you're used to from all of the various village series in the past. It is made of a thick plastic, so it is not what I expected.

As a trained noticer, I was suprised to see something the other night which was not ever shown again. It was the episode where Barney is looking for the runaway kid named George Folley - who was actually at the Taylor house. He drives up in a big rush in an old early 50s Ford car and parks

Ken, please don't assume we don't want to read your postings. As I've told you privately before, we both grew up in a very Mayberry-like small town - you in Wisc. and me in Mont. - which shared lots of similarities to Mayberry. But your writings are wonderful and heartwarming, so don't feel

Without question, the best song ever sung on the show has to be Church in the Wildwood - sung on the porch by Andy while Mr. Tucker relaxed (sort of). What a beautiful representation of everything Mayberry stands for. I had never heard it until I saw this scene. To this day it is one of my

I too have noticed a lot of missing scenes. My favorite, which I haven't seen for a long time is in the episode where Barney is trying to sell real estate. It follows the part where Opie talks about the Taylor house defects if front of the potential buyers. Barney follows the customers out

Maybe its just me, but as a trained noticer, I picked up on something recently. It seems odd to me that a professional like Mayer Stoner can't seem to tie a tie properly. In almost all of the episodes, he has the back tail of the tie much longer than the front. You'd think a wife who
