Alumni Sightings
Saturday morning on the Western Channel, I was watching Hopalong Cassidy when I spotted a couple of TAGS alumni.Goldbrick Wheeler was Hoppy's sidekick, and the bad guy was Charles Foley. Orville Hendricks - Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man.Here is a trivia quest for all of us cooped up at home. Let's think of all the TAGS alumni that passed away while the show was in progress. I will start things with Mayor Pike, who died in 1961. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

While watching The Waltons you can see Myrt 'Hubcaps' Lesh aka Esther Walton Ellen Corby. The episode The Job, Peggy McCay played Mrs. Thomas. On TAGS she played Sharon DeSpain in Class Reunion. The episode The Departure, Joanna Moore played Laura Sue Champion. On TAGS she played Peggy McMillan in four episodes. Also Will Geer played Grandpa Walton. On Mayberry, R.F.D. he played Captain Wolford, who was engaged to Aunt Bee. Have a Mayberry kind of day. Margaret Floyd: "I'm going to Nashville." Margaret: I already live in Nashville. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Up and Down (and Over)
Where I grew up, in a small town in South Dakota that was very similar to Mayberry, "Up and Down" was used only to describe direction. Think of a globe.."Up" meant traveling north, while "Down" meant traveling south. "Over" was a bit more unclear..as it was used to indicate traveling east OR west..as in "we are heading over to Myers Lake." All of these had nothing to do with the size of the town, or its importance in the region. Remember: this time spent at home due to the outbreak of Corona Virus provides a perfect opportunity to watch more TAGS! -Greg ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Pray for Mayberry (and the rest of the US/World)
It's a pleasure to read WBMUTBB daily but now there is a sad, scary reality out there. This virus would have made its way to Mayberry. I wonder how our loveable Mayberry neighbors would have handled it? Gabe Boca Raton. FL ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Peggy McMillan
I happened to watch an episode of "Gunsmoke" last night and saw our very own Peggy McMillan (Joanna Moore) on it. The episode was titled "Honey Pot" (1965). She was beautiful as ever and worked in the saloon. She still had that nice Southern accent of hers just like on TAGS. I also saw Hank Patterson playing Hank the stable man on that episode. Hank was the old hobo on the railroad tracks on the TAGS episode "If I Had a Quarter Million" where Barney finds the suitcase with $250,000 in it. Hank is probably best known as Mr. Ziffel on "Green Acres". I think Peggy's husband on "Gunsmoke" was played by Harold Grigsby on TAGS (whose wife is a blonde out of a bottle), but I can't swear to it. It was big! Mr. Schwamp "My wife Doris is a good woman. Nobody can pull a plow quite like Doris." -- Mr. Ziffel ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Re: TAGS actors on Perry Mason
> Was watching a Perry Mason... I love Perry Mason and there's at least one TAGS actor in almost every episode. A lot of the episodes had our Mr. O'Malley (Hey Chuck!) as the judge. I thought he went to Detroit, not LA. Harriet, the chicken thief ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
