Mayberry streets on The Green Hornet reruns yesterday
I was watching The Green Hornet reruns yesterday afternoon and saw a building that looked very familiar. Seconds later, there was the hotel, then the court house. I noticed that when the camera went past the Taylor’s house (to camera right) there was a building that looked like maybe sound stage buildings? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

re: attitudes and the way his voice sounded
Hidee, TAGS fans. Yesterday evening our tv was on TAGS; my husband was watching and I was in the kitchen, but could hear the dialogue. Without looking into the family room, I said (with my back turned), That must be a color episode; listen to Andy's voice and the way he is talking. The tone is different. My husband said, You're right. As discussed many times before in this newsletter, there IS a difference in the B W and the color episodes, and I THINK it is the attitude and feelings in Andy's voice and body language. IT is just different. NOT really bad, but different. I LOVE TAGS ! but, with my back turned, hearing a piece of dialogue, I could tell it was a color episode. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
long sleeves
Long sleeves were the norm when I was growing up in the south in the fifties and sixties. I don't ever remember a man wearing a short sleeved shirt to church until late 60's. My Daddy's security police uniforms were long sleeved, and it got HOT in Pine Bluff. Sometimes when watching clips of old news reels of baseball games; in the dead of baseball season, when it was hot, hot, hot...the men were in suits, even! An old timer told me years ago that long sleeves were cooler (before we had air conditioning). They said that when a person sweated, the sleeves got wet, then it made the person cooler when /as it evaporated. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

re:Mayberry a magical place
I had to chuckle when I read the comment about how magical a place Mayberry was; no screens on the windows, yet never a bug one. For Mayberry to be placed in the South (yet with out window screens), and no bugs always got me. I have never known southerners to have homes with out screens, unless impoverished. (We always had screen; could not have lived with out them!). ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

re:the amount of $$ for those choir robes
When we watched the choir robe episode we were surprised by the price of those robes. The amount quoted (seems like $50.00 or abouts) back THEN was like $500 now..using the same proportions for other things ($$moneywise-comparisons$$ of then and now).those robes would be HUNDREDS each; seemed really high. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
re:Aunt Bee's character
Aunt Bee's character was a good one. She showed mercy, when needed, and showed a little bit of anger, when necessary. She was an excellent actress, because not only did she play the sweet Aunt Bee, but she could play a REAL mean person ! In an old episode of The Lone Ranger she played a mean mama that had mean sons. She was awful and I almost hated her! She was THAT good an actress ! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
saw four from TAGS in The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
We just finished watching The Day the Earth Stood Still. I counted four from TAGS: Aunt Bee, the choir director, Otis' wife, and the man that made music recordings and Andy refused to buy into the album of folk music. (Can you tell I am terrible with names?) Were there ANY more from TAGS that I missed ? the Hendersons ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
re:fibs on TAGS
I has always bothered my husband and me when we would hear/watch Andy lie. The story line would show the consenquences of that lie later on, but it still bothered us that he would tell a lie in the FIRST place. When telling some body about the sunday school class material using the story lines from TAGS I would usually have SOME one ask about the lies told in the story line show. WE LOVE THE SHOW and just overlook the lies but it still bothers us. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
I saw Meyers lake/opening scenes on The Rifleman
I was watching The Rifleman yesterday afternoon, groundhog day. It was called The Day of the Hunter, 1960. The bad guy was the man who played The Colonel that made smoke come out of his ears.(Can't remember his character name). Anyway, Lucas and Mark were being chased by the colonel on TAGS/bad man on the episode. Lucas and Mark ran between some trees that looked VERY familiar. As they went a little farther, there were the trees that Andy and Opie walk between as they come down the lane going to Meyers Lake; a second or two later was Meyers Lake, the Exact scene used in the opening of TAGS. I never knew that The Rifleman used the same locations that TAGS did; I DO know that The Real McCoys did and seems like some episodes of Lassie with Timmie. Did any body else see the Rifleman eposide and catch the TAGS scenery? What can anybody tell me about these other shows shot in the same area. the Hendersons, Branson ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Aunt Bee on The Lone Ranger
I, too, watched the Twilight zone a thon and saw quite a few characters from TAGS; More than once I have seen Aunt Bee in other old black and white series from the EARLY fifties; one in particular was an episode of The Lone Ranger. She played a mean (and I mean MEAN) mama with sons that loved to shoot and rob and kill. Sure was difficult watching her in THAT rold. sheila ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
