Happy New Year TAGS fans. This past Sunday, New Year day, I was watching 'The Joey Bishop Show'. I had the greatest TAGS alumni sighting, Don Knotts, dressed as Deputy Barney Fife. Joey, Ellie (his wife), Larry (comedy writer and best friend), and Hilda (the maid and nurse for the baby) played by Mary Treen (Rose from the first TAGS episode), were in a cabin in the woods. Joey keeps trying to pump water from the spout and nothing comes out. Everyone one else can make the water come out. During one on the last scenes Joey gets the water to come out and it starts to flood, so he calls the sheriff and Barney shows up in full uniform and says anytime city people come to the cabin they always make it flood.
I watched several episodes some were very funny. The guest stars were great Zsa Zsa Gabor, Danny Thomas, Phil Foster, Leo Durocher, Jerry Lewis, Jan Murray, Barbara Stuart (TAGS), Marlo Thomas, The Andrews Sisters, Jane Dulo (TAGS), Herbie Faye(TAGS), Buddy Hackett and many more. This show was a Desilu production. It was a blast to see TAGS alumni on the show. Don Knotts was still playing Barney when he was a guest on Joey's show. I think the only reason was because it was a Desilu show. (I could be wrong.) I also found one of my sister's Christmas presents when I was moving something in the house. I had forgotten about the book "Mayberry Trivia 1,500 questions about a TV Classic" by Scott Hopkins. I had also bought myself a copy, nice to find something after Christmas for myself and my sister. She loves the book. We played one of the games on Christmas day several times, we each one two games and the last one was a draw. First post of the New Year. Margaret Floyd: "I'm going to Nashville." Margaret: I already live in Nashville. _ ______________________________________________________________________ For information pertaining to Willis' email confidentiality and monitoring policy, usage restrictions, or for specific company registration and regulatory status information, please visit http://www.willis.com/email_trailer.aspx We are now able to offer our clients an encrypted email capability for secure communication purposes.
