Andy & Aunt Bee

I'll add my 2 cents in this discussion... I think it SEEMS like Andy is chiding Aunt Bee more in the color episodes, but it's because she's trying to exercise her independence more. She learns to drive AND fly an airplane, for heaven's sake! Also, at that time, people didn't regard older people as being able to do new things like they do now, particularly women. I really liked Aunt Bee's independent streak. She had a lot of moxie! Sue Grigsby "And don't be late for supper!"

Gomer
Hi Mayberrians, Last night, my son and I were watching the episode where Andy saves Gomer's life. Remember that episode where Barney was away on vacation and it was just Andy in the office? Anyway, just imagine if someone whose life you saved would never let you forget your great deed. Imagine if they kept finding ways to do things for you and they never stopped praising your name. Yes, I would be okay that the person thanked me, but if they bothered me about it that much, I would probably go and hide from them...lol... I am sure my son probably try to avoid them just to escape the embarrassment. Actually I think Andy played it best when he faked the gas inhalation to make it seem like Gomer saved his life. Gomer, Gomer, Gomer... Have a nice day, Val ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: What I noticed in the color episodes- (Marie/Allan)
Sorta' the way I always looked at it w/Andy's vocal complaints involving Aunt Bee, was that he was anticipating the problems to be had if Aunt Bee went ahead and did the "things" she wanted to do. He could use more tact and diplomacy, but whining and "no-no'ing" Bee seems to be a natural thing that Andy would do. (afterall... Aunt Bee is headstrong at times, and entrenches herself into a way of thinking that's hard to dislodge her from) Now on Keevy and the song: It looked to me that Andy was bent about having Keevy over because he knew Bee and Clara would drag out an otherwise quiet evening by them "working on" Keevy to get him to record their song. It also put Andy in an awkward position... him being the sheriff and his own relative was trying to "push" her song onto an established star. Andy probably figured that My Hometown, although good, was strictly small-town stuff and that all of Aunt Bee's / Clara's efforts would be for naught. Andy couldn't possibly envision the deluxe treatment that the song would be given as the final version. A classic TAGS episode! (I like the fast version better, but the sound quality and "flavor" on the slow one reigns supreme!!) A. Acevedo (MPk) _ Your Hotmail address already works to sign into Windows Live Messenger!

Andy & Aunt Bee
I agree with you to a point. But he didn't want her and Ms. Edwards inviting Keevy over at all. The song WAS better Aunt Bee's way and even K H agreed at the end. I can not imagine what the music world would have lost had he not ever heard their song. Yes, I'd temporarily forgotten "Call the Man" or maybe was thinking it a color episode. I like the color episodes, esp. the one with the Rose Contest where Clara gives up her firts prize to Bee b/c she realizes Bee's rose, ruined when Opie's football hit it, was more beautiful than hers. Sorry of I broke a number rule. I didn't mean to. I know, for example, with Barney, he'd say "You shouldn't do that" or "You can't..." and Barney went ahead and did it. He was usually wrong, too. Aunt Bee was wrong to wear the wig, but not wrong, IMO, to learn how to drive and to use her own money to buy herself a car. On the other hand, Aunt Bee never seemed to have a problem getting around Mayberry before that episode.

Color Eps
TAGS fans, Having watched the color eps lately, have you noticed how many times in season 8 Opie wears the same shirt! Kind of an orange/green plaid thing. It's not ugly, but on the other hand it's not pretty enough to be "every-single-day wear". Sam http://www.tuttles.net the 'net's best comic strip TV dinner still cooling?

Respect for Aunt Bee
I feel that since Aunt Bee was an old maid and unworldly, even though older than Andy, she sought and needed Andy's approval before she took big steps. Deep down she was determined about what she truly desired and would argue heavily in her favor but if Andy put his foot down, I believe she would have acquiesed. After all, he had somewhat assumed responsibility for her welfare once she became a member of his household. As he said, "we're a family and what's good for one has got to be good for all" or something akin to that. I don't think he ever intended any disrespect. Just my opinion and I certainly respect yours.

RE: Great to be Back
Glad your back too paul!! Now Gang, the next step is to figure out just where he's been (all in fun of course). My guess: Either cell number 1 or cell number 2. The keys must have been in the drawer or he'd been back sooner. Had to be cell 1 or otherwise Otis would have a fit :) Mike (Paul Jennings said) "Sure is great to be back amongst the Mayberry faithful! Been gone a whileSiler City..Triplett..Banner Town?

Re: Polyschwampmania
I too suffer from this terrible malady. Last night, I couldn't sleep. I decided to count sheep. Soon the little critters were baa-ing and jumping fences just like they should. But there was something odd about these sheep. I looked closer, and guess what? That's right, all the "sheep" bore the image of the mysterious Mr. Schwamp. I was up all night long counting Schwamps!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
None
I don't see Andy treating Aunt Bee that way. Its his house and his money. He didn't want her wasting the money. I hate when TV land rushes through the black and white shows just to get to the color ones. I like the black and white ones better. I think they were funnier. They skipped several of the real funny ones. I could even come close to listing the ones that were missed. Mary Lease _ The MSN Entertainment Guide to Golden Globes is here.

Andy Griffith Commentary on Gomer Pyle USMC
I am currently watching season 1 of Gomer Pyle USMC. I must say I am enjoying it because I really never got into the show. The sweet thing about this set is we get commentary by Jim Nabors. It also has the TAGS "Gomer Pyle USMC" Pilot on disc one. Jim gets us commentary through the whole episode. He mostly talks about TAGS in general rather than talking just about that episode. This is something I wish had been done with the TAGS discs.
