>>>There was a point in the middle of the episode where Andy missed a chance to teach Opie a life lesson. When Opie and Andy are in the living room and Andy is looking at the mosaic, Opie tells Andy that some of his friends came over earlier that day and laughed at the mosaic<<< Orville Hendricks -
Orville, you bring up an interesting point. We all know that Andy was not perfect when it came to raising his son. He had to consider also how Opie felt about being proud of his home..so this was a tough choice. Perhaps with time to think about it, he would have come up with a compromise..such as hanging it in his bedroom. "Now Otis every day when I wake up..I'll be reminded of your rehabilitation..and I'll see that cow and want to come down to the kitchen for a glass of milk." I think the fact that he stashed it in the closet was what a little insulting to Otis. Even a self-proclaimed Number 1 Schwamp fan has trouble with the question..did Mr. Schwamp ever wear glasses more that that one time? but that's the only one I recall. In the Seth Taylor Episode, he had on a big hat, and you really have to look close to find him. He' usually in a suit jacket and tie, but not always. He's often at parties or social events, and often appears with Nice Dress Nellie. http://www.mayberry.info/history/index.php?title=Mr._Schwamp Check out our Schwamp page for his "known" appearances, and check him out. It's was like a fun "Where's Waldo" video book when I made that list...but likely I missed some pages. To add to the Mayberry is everywhere theme, there was a homeless guy in the local area who knowingly committed a crime for the shelter a food or a local jail. What does that remind you of. I wonder if he got breakfast in bed like Otis? The Untrained Voice _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
