Mayberry guru
Ken, I completely agree. I’m glad I met you at an event in 2019. It was fun being arrested. Lots of luck to you and yours to everyone in Mayberry. Laughing Face North Richland Hills, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Mayberry in Film Noir
I watched a good film noir from 1950 titled “Where Danger Lives”starring Robert Mitchum that was partly filmed at the Forty Acres backlot.First, Mitchum had a wreck in front of the All Souls Church when the town drunkwas driving on the wrong side of the road. Later, he bought a newspaper at a pharmacy where Foley’s Market and Floyd’sBarber Shop was. You could see the columns to the courthouse in the background.The movie was produced by RKO, and the boys at the lab (Google) tell us that itwas sold to Desilu Productions in 1957. I watch a lot of film noir, but I’ve never noticed Mayberry before.I’ll have to keep these trained eyes open.

The Taylor Inn and Mayberry Guru
My two loves are TAGS and the Green Bay Packers. I combined both this weekend. My wife and I stayed in Andy’s room at the Taylor Inn in Clear Lake, WI and were blown away by what Dave has done in replicating Andy’s house. And he has a great replica of the courthouse in the basement. So many details done just right like the gun on top of the china cabinet (in case anyone comes looking for reveng), doilies in the cells and the map behind Andy’s desk. He has a squad car and Wally’s Station behind his garage. I highly recommend it. Then we met Ken Anderson in Eau Claire at a Comic-Con event. He’s a real treasure. He put the handcuffs on me, turned on the siren, and showed me his bullet. “Now there’s bullet maintenance.” Then on to Green Bay for another Packer win. A great time had by all.

Get Barney Fife
There was a story on the news yesterday about an explosion at a hospital in central Texas that forced a nearby nursing home to be evacuated to a church where they were comforted with much needed air conditioning and The Andy Griffith Show. They showed the patients watching the episode where Barney was probing Otis’ subconscious. GET BARNEY FIFE. Mayberry is everywhere.

Aaron Rodgers and Citizen's Arrest
My daughter, who is away at college (“Hey, it’s that college kid”) and I are big Green Bay Packer fans and she follows their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, on Twitter. She called to tell me about his recent Tweet. Aaron was driving in California, where it is against the law to drive and talk on a hand-held cell phone. A cop was in the next lane talking on his phone. Aaron wrote that he felt like making a citizen’s arrest, just like Gomer Pyle on The Andy Griffith Show. He loves that episode, especially when Gomer says “Citizen’s arrest. Citizen’s arrest.” Now here’s the weird part. That episode was on TV Land today. When my daughter called, I was watching it, and it was right where Gomer was confronting Barney. You hear that, folks? There are two sets of law. One for the police and one for the ordinary citizens.

Andy's gun
Andy fired a pistol only three times: A) Signalling the beginning of paces in the feud, 2) Finding out that Barney's gun really was loaded after Gentleman Dan handed it to Andy and C) Shooting the tire in the counterfeiters' station wagon.

Never Forget Barney T-Shirt
I posted this a few days ago and didn't get any help, so I'm trying again. I saw a picture of our very own Brad Paisley at the CMT Music Awards wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Barney with the caption Never Forget. Does anyone know where to get one? It's not at Weaver's.

Remshaw house
Trivia time! Who really lived in the Remshaw house? What I mean is, the same house was used, in a different episode as the home of one of the main characters. Who was it?

Pet names
We had cats named Opie and Thelma Lou and dogs named Ellie and Bee. The vet always spelled it B-E-A. Sure he knows all about animal medicine, but he can't spell Bee. What about children's names? Our son is Andy. My wife wouldn't let me name our daughter Sarah. I did name my GPS device Sarah, but I digress.

Mayberryopoly and Gomer Pile
Merry Christmas, fellow Mayberrians. Weaver's really came through for me. I got the 2008 calendar and Mayberryopoly. One mistake I noticed was that Gomer is on the $10 and they spelled his last name P-I-L-E. They got Aunt Bee, Andy Taylor, and even Barney Fife right. The Mayberry Gazette always gets Barney's name wrong, and Taylor can be spelled a lot of ways. Haven't seen a mention of Helen yet, but her last name is spelled C-R-U-M-P. What's wrong with third party? It isn't dirty.

Mayberry Moment - Buffalo head nickle
I had a Mayberry moment yesterday. I found a buffalo head nickle digging through my change. It's in pretty bad shape as you can't even read the date. I showed it to my 15-year old daughter, who is a TAGS fan. She asked what it was worth. I said About a nickle. She said I wonder what it would be worth if the buffalo was pointing in the wrong direction. Her education was worth every penny.

Andy for Sheriff
Since he lives in Wisconsin, I wonder why he didn't change his name to Brett Favre, Bart Starr, or Vince Lombardi. Laughing Face Hurst, TX Hi Gang -- Where I work we just got this item into the newsroom, and I wanted to pass it on right away. (Platteville, WI) -- A Platteville, Wisconsin man who is running for Grant County sheriff has legally changed his name to Andy Griffith. The man says it was the best way he could think of to get enough name recognition to win the election. Griffith, of course, appears endlessly in TV reruns as the sheriff of the fictional town of Mayberry. Some Grant County voters have complained that the candidate is making a mockery of local politics. Sure hope the news service provides an update after the votes have been counted. If he was going to do that, wonder why he didn't change his last name to Taylor. I work in radio but I'm not changing my name to Leonard Blush, lol ---Maybe we have some members from that area that can provide more, :) Mike Peacock Connersville Indiana ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

How to Get Replacements for Missing Laugh Tracks
Hey Allan, your instructions say to remove the Proof of Purchase tab (the white bar-code on the bottom of the box) from the Fourth Season box. On my DVD box, which I got from Weaver's, the tab is printed directly on the box, not pasted on. I kinda hate to cut the box. Can you call the man for official verification?

RE: Middle Name: Samuel
For Christmas this past year I received the book written by Ken Beck and Jim Clark entiltled, Mayberry Memories. It is such a great, interesting book with many vivid pictures from each season of TAGS. As I was thumbing through the book last night, I noticed a picture on page 204 of Andy, Helen, and their baby boy. The text near the picture states that their baby is named Andrew Samuel Taylor, Jr. It also mentions that Andy's middle name is Jackson, but you'll find no argument here, because Mayberry has a higher power whose middle name just happens to be Samuel. Does anyone know who they are talking about? Have a Mayberry Day! Connie Iowa's Biggest TAGS Fan Hey Connie, they switched around the middle names. Andy Griffith's middle name is Samuel. Andy Taylor's middle name is Jackson. When they named Andy Taylor's son, they gave him Andy Griffith's middle name.

Nicknames
As ol' Barn told Mrs. Lesch, That's just a nick for Bernard, something hit me last night when Barney called Thelma Lou Thel. He called her Thel, Andy was Anj, and Gomer was Gome. Who else did he give a nick to? I seem to remember Ope for Opie. Where there any others? Right off the bat, I can think of Goob for Goober, Nita for Juanita, and Charlie or Chuck for Charles O'Malley. The bigger they are, the nicer they are.
