One of the politically incorrect stories on TAGS that no one has mentioned
is Fred and Jenny Boone. Andy seemed to take a "no big deal" attitude to
all their fighting. Today, domestic violence is all over the news. When
a police force come to a house where a
It's not politically incorrect, per se, but I always cringe a bit when Andy
invites someone over for a meal without conferring with Aunt Bee.

Tonight's episode was the barbershop/manicurist episode.
Hardly anything in it was "politically correct" by today's standards.
But then I imagine many of us were "guilty" of some sort of identification with

To me, the most politically incorrect moment in the series is when the men in
the barbershop are ogling Ellen Brown as she gets off the bus. The mayor asks
Barney, "Do you think you could handle a girl like that?" and Barney replies,
"Well, I'd be inclined to treat a girl lik
There was probably something politically incorrect, according to today's
standards, in just about every episode. One episode that stands out is
"Ellie Runs for Council" . In that episode Otis told Andy to "never
apologize to a woman" and "if you want results, hit her
I say thank God the statement made to a wife "he hardly ever hits you" is not
promoted on TV today. I was married in the 60's to a wife beater and believe
me it is nothing to joke about . In those days the police could not interfere
with domestic problems and my husband took full advantage of
I too have noticed things mentioned on the show that, while maybe were
fine in the 1960's, certainly raise an eyebrow now...

when the lawyer came to town and was Andy's deputy for a while he came up with
a statistical chart about crimes that could happen in Mayberry. He brought up
wife beating. The phone rang and someone reported that a
It has been a while since we have had a good discussion about Andy, and
today I got to thinking.We all know that TAGS was made back in the 60's,
and things were a lot different in the 60's.But when I am watching Andy and
they say something politically incorrect, my ears
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

While watching a 1930's movie on TCM last week, one of the characters used the
term Negro. Now a days when you hear something like that it jars you for
just a second, since you are not used to hearing it on TV. It got me to
thinking about TAGS and being politically incorrect. I know
