mayberry_bloopers
Allan, I love hearing your podcasts and reading everything at wbmutbb.com. Please keep up the good work. Mayberry Days are just a week or so away and I just can't wait! I've seen a blooper that I haven't heard about anywhere else. In the episode "TV or not TV" (season 5), Andy, a TV producer and his assistant(bank robbers) are discussing a new TV show called "Sheriff without a Gun". It's a scene in the courthouse and Barney comes in with his hat strap under his chin. Please note the gun rack. It's locked then cut away and come back it's unlocked! This happens a couple of times. Also, Barney puts away his gun in a locked gun rack! Has anyone else noted this? Anyway, these type of things are what endears us to TAGS. I'd like some feedback from you or any other member. See ya' at Mt. Airy. Larry Hamrick in Lincolnton, NC ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Frank-ly speaking
I saw an ad in a magazine this week that depicted current actors with classic stars. Frank Sinatra was shown ... and he DID near an amazing resemblance to Barney Fife/Don Knotts! The closing scene of that episode, when Don Knotts shuffles off in a Sinatra salute, always elicits a smile. Mr. Knotts was a genius, pure and simple. TV's Keaton.

Tol Avery
Character actor Tol Avery possessed tremendous girth;He would give Alan Hale, Jr. a run for his money on the "biggest" guest actor on TAGS. "Aw! Big ain't the word for it!"

You're Right Ken!
"Wasn't the actor who bought the Mayberry cannon the same actor who was Ward Cleaver in the very first pilot episode of "Leave it to Beaver"? I could be wrong on this but for some reason this comes to mind." Ken: I think you're correct on this one. The actor named Max Showalter was signed to 20th Century Fox in the late 1940's. His name was later changed to one more acceptable, Casey Adams. After appearing as Ward Cleaver in the Leave It To Beaver pilot, he was replaced by Hugh Beaumont before the series started filming. He did appear on a single episode of TAGS in 1961. P.S. The character that portrayed Wally in the pilot episode was also replaced for the series. Bob _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

TAGS' biggest guest star, again
TAGS fans, I appreciate the reminder (why did I need it?!?!?) of Buddy Ebsen as possibly the "biggest" guest star. I think that may be right as he had already had big roles in "Davy Crockett" and many other movies. As much as I like Alan Hale Jr. (and concede that he is bigger physically) I think he was viewed more as a character actor until he showed up on "Gilligan". Any other votes or suggestions for "biggest guest star" on TAGS? Sam www.tuttles.net ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Cannon buyer
The cannon buyer was in the Molly Rigwald movie "Sixteen Candles" as was the man who said Aunt Bee reminded him of his deceased wife. -- Ted ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 10, Issue 270
My vote for the biggest guest star on Mayberry would have to be Alan Hale Jr. There is only one word to describe him. Big, really big. Now I understand why folks think Buddy Ebsen would be there choice, but Alan Hale was much bigger than Buddy. Why he must have outweighed him by 50 pounds or more.

Biggest Star and Goobers digs
I'm impressed with the knowledge and answers on the biggest star question. During the original run, I was like Goober in the "punch in the nose" episode, still comic book age.. I was going to say that Allan Hale was the "Biggest" guest star, ha ha..but I didn't really have a clue. I thought Jack Nicholson was kind of an unknown at that time. I've been thinking about Goober. I guess he never really did outgrow the comic books, did he? I wonder what his place would look like. Besides his cousin Gomer, he was one of very few main characters that we never really saw where they live. We saw Floyd's porch only..and heard about Gomer's room in the back of the station..but never really got a clue of where Goober lived. .or what it was like. I'm guessing rather drab, Early American Comic Book décor...just a little bigger than the backroom at the courthouse?? Perhaps a room on the back of a bigger house where he could park the truck out back, and tinker around in a detached garage off of an alley. You walk in, and it's kind of a one-room efficiency. A refrigerator, and small stove with just a few cabinets. A larger coffee table in front of a beat-up overstuffed couch (that also serves as a bed) with multiple stacks of comic books on the table. On the wall, a few worn-our movie posters of things like the Crab that ate Minnesota. A small TV is dwarfed by a large hutch that it sits on..a family heirloom that may be the only nice piece of furniture in the place. Besides the TV is a checkerboard and checkers, some wrenches and a spare tire gauge.A small closet holds the brown suit and few clean uniforms.There is a special hook for the beanie. A small table with two chairs sit near the refrigerator. On the table is a radio, a box of cereal, a package of cookies, and a few more Comic books, and copies of Popular Mechanics . Is that how you picture the Goober home? The Untrained Voice ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
