Barney's Sidewalk
Re: Don't know if there are any Neil Young fans on this list, but thought I'd pass on that at a concert in Moline, he made a reference to our own Barney! Neil Young fan, right cheer! I've posted on this before, but as I said, Neil is a BIG Mayberry fan, and off that same album, Greendale (where Barney almost became sheriff), in a song called Grandpa's Interview, Neil sings the following: it ain't an honour to be on tv and it ain't a duty either the only good thing about tv is shows like 'leave it to beaver' shows with love and affection like mama used to say a little mayberry livin' can go a long way Sang it, Neil! On a recent appearance on Letterman, Neil wore an Aunt Bee tee shirt. Spread the word, Neil! By the way, run, don't walk, to your nearest cinema, to see his new film Neil Young ~ Heart of Gold. It's goood!

Re: Can anyone think of more connections between TAGS and MASH?! Yes, and the closest ones at that: M*A*S*H was regularly written by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum, and it, like TAGS, was shot using the one camera technique.

TAGS and MASH
We were watching The Gypsy episode a couple of days ago, with Jamie Farr. Jamie, as we all know, was a long time star on MASH, as Corporal Klinger. That got to thinking of other connections between two of my very favorite shows. Another couple are William Christopher, another regular on MASH. (Father Mulcahy). He played the new, young Doctor on one episode of TAGS, and I think he also played an IRS agent when Aunt Bee won her prizes in Hollywood.And there was of course Ron Howard, who was on one episode of MASH, playing a soldier who had lied about his age in order to join the Army. Can anyone think of more connections between TAGS and MASH?! Fred Pearlman The name Theodore J. Flicker comes to mind. I think he is a director. Not to be confused with a famous bald-headed director.

Another TAGS-MASH connection
A big TAGS fan who lives in Tenn. went to high school and even dated BRIEFLY dated David Ogden Stiers, who played Maj. Winchester. He may deny it, but it happened. And it was a REAL experience, I'll tell you what is the truth.

Re: TAGS and MASH
***Can anyone think of more connections between TAGS and MASH?!*** How can you forget the time George Goober Lindsey appeared on M*A*S*H? Or the time Hope Summers (Clara Edwards) played a nurse who stood up for Henry Blake at a court martial and referred to the military brass as a bunch of high-priced bellhops? A lot of behind the scenes connections as well, with writers (Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum) and directors (Gene Reynolds). And oh yes, both shows spent their network runs on CBS, where both came on Monday nights (I think even in the same time slot).

Goober and Permanent Girl
At the risk of oversimplifying (or getting obtuse) the reason Goober didn't have a regular girl is because that is the way the character was written! If he had a regular girl, we might not have had the episode Goober and the Art of Love, the Computer dating episode, or the episode where Goober and Gomer take over for Andy and Barney at the dance to entertain the fungirls It seems his lack of having a girl was a big part of the show. In addition to the above, he was often used as the back up to go to the movies when Ange or Barn couldn't go with their girls etc... Several times you can remember him walking along the street late at night, popping into the courthouse wondering if anyone was there or if anybody wanted to do something... Seems he wouldn't be the same..

Lydia vs Flora
No offense, but I believe it was Lydia that stepped out on Goober first. But then again, Flora flirted with Andy first. Hmmm, no wonder ol Goober went the computer dating route. Too bad Barney wasn't in town to arrange one of those Bachelor type things the way he did for Andy. Who all besides Lydia and Flora would be right for Goober? Maybe Skippy?

I believe she showed up in Mayberry RFD or Gomer Pyle USMC at least once. Has she ever attended any Mayberry events? Perhaps she'd be a big draw. I have to agree about Goober never having a permanent girlfriend. Had they shot the show now, that episode with the computer date could've set up a long-running plot line of possibilities, since romance is so much a part of modern-day sitcoms. The different backgrounds bit could've set up a lot of great situations. Then again, he and Flora might have made a cute couple, too.

Nettie vs. Lydia
Well, it seems like lately all I'm hearing is how great Goober is with Nettie. I guess you all have forgotten Goober's real love--ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME Yes, I may have my issues, car sickness to be sure, pretzels laying heavy on my chest, bad tires, not able to take the sun without getting the herpes (but that's a common problem according to Barney), not being able to dance, bad back, can only eat a small amount of chocolates, not liking most musicals instruments, my family not enjoying their work, hating to chit-chat, being opposed to all forms of gambling, etc. But other than that I'm a swell person. A real go-getter. Much better for Goober than that flirty Nettie. Just ask Goober. Lydia, That's the couch I was telling you about. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
