I'm impressed with the knowledge and answers on the biggest star question. During the original run, I was like Goober in the "punch in the nose" episode, still comic book age.. I was going to say that Allan Hale was the "Biggest" guest star, ha ha..but I didn't really have a clue. I thought Jack Nicholson was kind of an unknown at that time.
I've been thinking about Goober. I guess he never really did outgrow the comic books, did he? I wonder what his place would look like. Besides his cousin Gomer, he was one of very few main characters that we never really saw where they live. We saw Floyd's porch only..and heard about Gomer's room in the back of the station..but never really got a clue of where Goober lived. .or what it was like. I'm guessing rather drab, Early American Comic Book décor...just a little bigger than the backroom at the courthouse?? Perhaps a room on the back of a bigger house where he could park the truck out back, and tinker around in a detached garage off of an alley. You walk in, and it's kind of a one-room efficiency. A refrigerator, and small stove with just a few cabinets. A larger coffee table in front of a beat-up overstuffed couch (that also serves as a bed) with multiple stacks of comic books on the table. On the wall, a few worn-our movie posters of things like the Crab that ate Minnesota. A small TV is dwarfed by a large hutch that it sits on..a family heirloom that may be the only nice piece of furniture in the place. Besides the TV is a checkerboard and checkers, some wrenches and a spare tire gauge. A small closet holds the brown suit and few clean uniforms. There is a special hook for the beanie. A small table with two chairs sit near the refrigerator. On the table is a radio, a box of cereal, a package of cookies, and a few more Comic books, and copies of Popular Mechanics . Is that how you picture the Goober home? The Untrained Voice _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
