Mayberry Sighting
Had a Mayberry sighting over the weekend. Sunday on one of the HD channels they were showing Advise and Consent, the politcal drama from 1962. Great movie with a great cast. During several scenes shot on the U.S Senate floor, they showed extras who played senators not involved in the plot of the movie. At a desk on the back row of the senate floor was Tom Jacobs, often scene as a TAGS extra and brother of Danny Thomas. Not sure if he might have been the junior senator from North Carolina or not. - Never miss a thing.

Opie Crying
Now I have another question: Opie really cried in Opie the Birdman. Was there any other episodes that he cried in? Good question! I think he may have cried in a Medal for Opie when he didn't win the race. He has pouted a few times, but never actually cried. J/AMSOM http://amayberrystateofmind.com Don't forget he cried in The Spoiled Kid episode where he wanted to continue getting his 25ยข allowance w/o working for it. His friend showed him how to cry to get what he wants. LOL! Just kidding b/c I know he was faking Marie ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Opie crying
Seems like I remember that he puddled up a little bit when Andy was trying to get him to say Mr. McBeevee was just make believe. Don't remember if the tears actually fell or not. And on another note, saw in our Sunday paper where a lot of stuff not allowed was found in a Pine Bluff, Arkansas jail during a shakedown the other day. Barney would have been proud!

RE: Shoplifter
Also, in The Shoplifter episode, is Andy legal in opening the old ladies coat? He has her to weigh herself, then proceeds to open her coat and show what she is hiding underneath. That wouldn't be legal today but was it back then? Once Andy saw how much she weighed on the scale, this created reasonable suspicion and allowed Andy to search her. It's like when a cop pulls over a car and smells marijuana coming from it, he can then search the vehicle based on reasonable suspicion. -Bob ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Opie crying
I don't recall actually seeing tears, but Opie sniffled when he gave up the grocery job to help that little boy whose family needed the income. It was at the end of a line to his Pa and always make me tear up too. Aunt Bee of Orlando ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Cheri's Mayberry room and probable cause
Relarding Cheri's Mayberry room, I write to suggest an item for the Loaded Goat episode.? May I suggest that you not try to keep a real, live goat - you know, the mess and such.? Instead, I can probably donate an old, unused box of dynamite laying around the farmstead somewhere to you.? Much neater and less smell than an actual goat - and it could double as an end table/coffee table.? You ever tried to set a cup of coffee on the back of a goat? Regarding?Sharon's question regarding Andy opening the old lady's coat? as I recall, Andy first grew suspicous of probable criminal activity because an old lady ought not to clunk.? This would form his original probable cause to warrant a body search.? Of course, a search under the old lady's coat was strictly to insure the safety of the law enforcement officer - checking on the existence of weapons, illegal contraband, etc,? Yet, Andy did not act upon his first suggestion of probable cause - which is certainly not the case in today's law enforcement world where probable cause can be supported?from as little as a guilty look about the suspect.??Instead, Andy asked the old lady if she would?submit to a weight confirmation test.? Although perhaps unusual in this day and age, in pursuit of enforcement of the law, Andy was acting with propriety when he asked her to submit to such testing.? Given that the old lady voluntarily agreed to such an invasion of her privacy and agreed to be weighed, the result of that testing confirmed the law enforcement officer's initial misgivings, resulting in probable cause to conduct said invasion of privacy.? In today's world, an old lady that clunks would be subject to a body search on that basis alone if a crime was suspected. In our little world of Mayberry, Andy extended the search for probable cause in a way unheard in the 21st Century. Regarding Sharon's question about the string on the camera in the Filling Station Robbery, this caught my eye a number of years ago.? I agree, it appears to me they are one eye-hook shy of having the string actually pull to make the camera click when the door opens. My two cents...
