Cooking Show
You all know that Aunt Bee had her own cooking show on the Mt. Pilot TV station. Well, I am announcing today that I have made my debut on my own cooking show. I have posted a short video of it on my facebook page. I do an amazing chicken recipe. If you would like to see it just go to www.facebook.com/kenneth.g.anderson and view it. You don't have to be my facebook friend to see this amazing cooking trick. May the Spirit of Mayberry Be With You. Kenneth G.

Re: TAGS invoked in NYT article
In a message dated 3/5/2011 11:00:15 A.M. Central Standard Time, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com writes: He is not some sort of Andy Griffith-type of character who would be hanging out at Floyd?s barbershop. I resent those types of stereotypes.? Considering how well loved The Andy Griffith Show and all things Mayberry...even Ernest T...are throughout Alabama, I would not consider that a wise way to get sympathy from potential jurors in Lee County, Alabama. And if you followed the coverage of the Toomer's Corner fiasco, you'll note all the Alabama and Auburn fans who came together in the aftermath, Alabama fans even raising thousands of dollars toward replacing the trees. *That* would be more like the spirit of Mayberry, in fact that might even make a good episode.

TAGS Alumni Spotted
When watching The Rifleman episode The Long Goodbye, I saw Edgar Buchanan. Hew was Grandpa Fogarty. He played handy man Henry Wheeler on TAGS. On the same Rifleman episode was none other that Ol' Blue the wonder dog. Small world. Know what I mean, Vern ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: Paul's Girlfriend
Ken, No, she kept her original name: Peggy. Paul A L'il Bit o'Mayberry in Jane Lew, WV Paul - after you broke it off with the girl with the wooden leg, did she change her name to Ilene by any chance?

Mr. Updyke
Mr. Upkyke has been charged with the crime and has had difficulty getting an attorney to represent him. I guess all the attorneys were giving Mr. Updyke the Big Freeze. The attorneys probably thought Mr. Updyke was an interloper. Orville Hendricks - Selling Butter and Eggs. Know the difference between a dead skunk in the road, and a dead attorney in the road? There are skid marks in front of the skunk. Mr. Updyke has been charged with the crime and has had difficulty getting an attorney to represent him until a Mr. Threatt took the case. It is Mr. Threatt who is quoted in the Times. Here?s the quote: Threatt, an Alabama native with degrees from Princeton and Howard University School of Law, takes offense at some portrayals of Updyke, one of which compared him to Ernest T. Bass from ?The Andy Griffith Show.? ?He is not ignorant, not a redneck,? Threatt said. ?He is not some sort of Andy Griffith-type of character who would be hanging out at Floyd?s barbershop. I resent those types of stereotypes.? Isn?t it ironic that Mr. Threatt resents ?those types of stereotypes? while at the same time he is the one creating them by painting the characters who hung out at Floyd?s barbershop as ?ignorant? and ?redneck?.

Insult to Mayberry
Threatt, an Alabama native with degrees from Princeton and Howard University School of Law, takes offense at some portrayals of Updyke, one of which compared him to Ernest T. Bass from ?The Andy Griffith Show.? ?He is not ignorant, not a redneck,? Threatt said. ?He is not some sort of Andy Griffith-type of character who would be hanging out at Floyd?s barbershop. I resent those types of stereotypes.? Hey, at least Ernest T. only broke glass. Glass can be easily replaced, but 130-year-old trees can't! I'll take Ernest T. any day over that scoundrel!

Another curious discrepancy
OK, so in Episode #165, Aunt Bee on TV, she wins a boatload of prizes on a game show. In order to pay the taxes on these items, she sells off most of what she won. One of the items she does keep is her garbage disposal. Fade to Episode #178, Lost and Found, where she loses Aunt Martha's brooch, and with the insurance money, buys a garbage disposal. Why did they need two? Did Goober break the first one? There were different writers for these two episodes, but only thirteen episodes between one and the other. Seems to me someone in the cast would have remembered that she already had one! Curious..cuuurious! Susi Blank Miss Crump, many years later Just when you want garbage, there isn't any! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Breaking the fourth wall
I've enjoyed this thread on breaking the fourth wall. In case anyone is unfamiliar with this term, it refers to the fact that a theater stage has three walls, but occasionally (for comic effect) a script will call for an actor to deliver a line directly to the audience instead of to the other characters on the stage. The classic Looney Tunes shorts are filled with these; a perfect example is in Wabbit Twouble. Bugs Bunny has been playing practical jokes on Elmer Fudd, who has gone to the mountains for a westful wetweat, and after a minute or so Bugs says directly to the audience, I do this kind of stuff to him all through the picture. Anyway, this never exactly happened on TAGS, but the closest example I can think of comes in The Horse Trader, when Opie says to nobody in particular, If honesty is the best policy, how come I'm out a cap pistol? --Paul Mulik ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
