That she would have to wear her uniform - 'you wear your uniform and I'll wear my uniform'. This was shown in 1964.

No Huntin', No Trespassin'...
In response to Paul's hunting question, I submit this: Someone and Dixie Belle Edwards (I think) went bear hunting (at the Great Dismal Swamp I think). Sounds like a joyfully terrific place to vacation. Didn't Andy say something to Barney about shooting some rats at the dump? Does that qualify as hunting? I know that's not an animal that they would fix to eat or that has a hunting season, so it might not count. Andy talked about shooting crows with Thelmer Lou's cousin. (Again, not really an animal with a hunting season as far as I know.) I'm not home to look at any episodes so I'm going off of my very faulty memory and that's all I have right now. :) Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Opie's Job
Why did Opie say he wanted to play baseball to get fired from his grocery-delivery job? Why not just say he needed more time for homework and his Pa told him to quit? I think about that every time I see that episode. But why wasn't he just honest with Mr. Doakes? He could just say, I really appreciate you giving me the job, but I found out that Billy needs the job to help provide for his family, so I'd like to bow out and give the job to him. I would think Mr. Doakes would admire Opie for that. Thelma Lou (Janet) I think he lied to spare his friend's feelings so he would not be embarrassed about his situation, and maybe out of modesty so that no one would know why he was doing what he did.

Percussion Instruments
Percussion instruments in Mayberry: Barney's cymbals, one of Bobby Fleet's guys played the drumsticks on the cell bars when Jim Lindsay was playing for them (idk if that counts, but I tried), there were drums in the class reunion episode (at least one of them), someone played a drum in the episode when the guys in the band wanted to go to the Raleigh, Ernest T played the gas can when he serenaded Charlene, and not sure of this, but wasn't there a drummer when Opie was in the band?

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 16, Issue 21
Shirtless/Wearing Shorts Andy and Opie were forced to wear that sissy outfit that Aunt Bee got them for their Hollywood trip. (I wasn't being ugly - Opie called them sissy, didn't he?) Did Andy wear swim trunks in the episode with the lady lawyer? Or was it just talked about? Did Howard wear shorts when he was on the island? Or did he just roll up his slacks? Andy had his underwear and a tshirt on in one episode (maybe more than one). Was it when they were keeping the baby? I remember that he went out in the hallway and Aunt Bee turned her head and said Andy!. These may not be correct - I'm going off of my (often faulty) memory.

Different Characters, same actor
Today while watching Cheyenne on The Westerns Channel, I spotted Forrest Lewis. Forrest Lewis played, among others, Cy Hudgins, who brings the loaded goat into town. I got to noticing that Forrest Lewis made 6 appearances on TAGS, and he had 5 different names.The time Ellie ran for city council, he was shown but not given a name. That got me to wondering.I know several people appeared on TAGS under different names, like Jack Dodson appearing as 2 different people.But Forrest Lewis appearing as 5 different named individuals must be close to the record.Does anyone know of any other individual who appeared on TAGS that had more than 5 different names? ***I know that the guy who was Sam Plumber was on several episodes as different people - a farmer, a sergeant, etc. Is that the right name? The guy who worked cleaning the market? He was Sam on the Brady Bunch?

Taking pictures
Andy got his picture taken with Darlene Mason in her dressing room (scandalous!!)

Barney kept changing his mind about getting his picture taken for the newspaper when he came home for the family reunion The ladies took pictures in Mexico (not entirely certain that they showed them taking the pics, but they looked at them at the end of the show when they picked them up in the drugstore) Helen took pictures at the baseball game and took the picture of Opie's foot being safe (then tore it up to spare Andy from finding out) Also in Hollywood, I think Andy took pics of Opie holding the newspaper of a famous actor (whose name escapes me at the moment) These are my guesses, hope a few are correct!

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 14, Issue 343
Yesterday's advertising message got me to thinking about Mayberry shopping opportunities with no more racks, especially Bert Miller. Absolutely no better customer service or return policy. Of course, when he got rid of the ringin doorbells, I guess he gained some racks. .Aside from Bert, and Barney's foray into vacuum cleaner sales, were there any other mentions of door to door sales? Well, Opie and the other boys went door to door with the Miracle Salve - temporarily and unsuccessfully. Of course, it seems like all they ever got out of their mouths was Ma'am (or Sir) would you like to buy some - and then the door would slam!!! But at the end of the episode, didn't Barney and Gomer have to go try to get rid of that huge shipment they had received at Andy's house? I think we just saw them going out the door calling out Salve! (if memory serves correctly). And Opie and Howie (or was it Arnold?) tried to sell their newspapers (which was not a success) and caused a tremendous stir when they gave everyone the edition with all the gossip in it. BONUS: This is of course not door-to-door sales, but didn't Opie and Arnold go door to door to try to find a good home for the baby they found? They had good intentions and were trying to help but I think a few people were shocked - Miss Crump for one!! :) (My response isn't completely on-target, but these are the things I thought of while answering.)

Gomer saved AGAIN!!
Well, I was watching my Gomer dvds again today and had a deja vu moment. One of the episodes was about Sgt. Carter saving Gomer's life and Gomer driving him crazy doing things for him! Even more than this, they used the EXACT same scenario that Andy used on the TAGS episode on this same topic. Carter turned on the gas and pretended to be passed out, Gomer came to get him out, but then passed out before he could save Carter and Carter had to convince Gomer that he saved him. Seemed REALLY familiar for some reason!! : ) The ending was somewhat different, but it was kind of funny to see an episode with such a close similarity to the one on TAGS.

GOMER PYLE!! Gomer didn't want to go and Sarge's lady friend didn't want Gomer to go out w/ her friend. AND guess who the girl was??? Just guess!! It was none other than Charlene Darling Wash, I mean Maggie Peterson!! They both were under the impression that the other one was a society person, so they were uncomfortable at first. But of course, things worked out just fine. Great episode...wonder where they got the idea for taking Gomer on a blind double date??? I kept expecting to hear the line: Tall, dark, and a door prize! : ) Y'all have a Mayberry day!! : ) Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

O Sole Mio was on the episode when the Italian family came to Mayberry to live w/ Sam Jones. This is one of the color episodes. Sam was expecting ONE guy and he brought his dad and sister w/ him. The Mayberry folks welcomed them w/ what they thought was the Italian national anthem...O Sole Mio. Oh, well, their hearts were in the right place! : ) So I don't recall hearing O Sole Mio on any TAGS episodes.maybe I missed it. There was the song that the choir sang with Barney/Gomer/Andy singing various solos/trios..Santa Lucia. Is that it? Please advise. Thanks!

Italian National Anthem
Il Canto degli Italiani (The Song of the Italians) is the Italian national anthem. It is best known among Italians as Inno di Mameli (Mameli's Hymn) or Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy). The words were written by Goffredo Mameli, and two months later, they were set to music by Michele Navarro. After unification (1861) the adopted national anthem was the Marcia Reale, the Royal March (or Fanfara Reale), official hymn of the royal house of Savoy composed in 1831 to order of Carlo Alberto di Savoia. The Marcia Reale remained the Italian national anthem until the Italy became a republic in 1946. In 1946 Italy became a republic, and on October 12, 1946, Il Canto degli Italiani was provisionally chosen as the country's new national anthem. This choice was made official in law only on November 17, 2005, almost 60 years later. So I guess the Mayberrians should've sung either the Il Canto... or the Royal March, but the Il Canto wasn't official until 6 years ago!!! : ) Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Don/Barney/Ralph
I have been reading the whole Don Knotts thread and how he is better known (to some) as Ralph Furley and better known (at least to all of us on the digest) to others as Barney Fife. One of the classes in my school has had a learn about your state unit lately, and of course, Don Knotts was a West Virginian! So this particular class did posters about our state and one of the students had on his/her poster several famous ppl. from WV. One of the famous people listed was Don Knotts, which I was surprised and pleased to see on the poster. But in light of the recent discussion here on the digest, I was really surprised and pleased to see what followed his name on the poster. It said something like, Best known as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show! That was so awesome to see, especially with our recent topic here, and it made me happy to see that someone in the world agrees that Mr. Knotts is best known as our dearly loved deputy sheriff Barney Fife!! : ) (It was especially great to see it since the class that did these posters are only 5-6 years old!)

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 12, Issue 108
Just to set the record straight - when using the word, the proper spelling is PREY as in what wild animals do for food. In other words, the thought is a bother and you want to get to the bottom of the issue. When Opie used it, he was referring to the fact that he did not want to have to work to earn his allowance so the idea of having money just handed to him was a grand thought. I know I make a big deal out of the proper spelling of Aunt Bee and usually either Paul or someone else corrects others as well but I see this particular mistake often. It's common to think you would use the word PRAY but unless you're speaking to the Almighty, the word is PREY. Another way to look at it is - PRAY is a verb and PREY is a noun. Harriet, the chicken thief, in Kelsey's Woods USA Harriet, I agree w/ you on most things about your post. You're right - it should be prey instead of pray in this quote. I also agree that the word prey is a noun, as in The lion pounced on his prey. However, in the TAGS quote, preying on my mind, the word preying is not a noun - it is a verb. (I am sending this in the nicest, kindest Mayberry spirit and I hope that it is accepted as such and that it doesn't cause any offense or hurt feelings.) : ) Have a Mayberry Day - Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Calvin Coolidge
I saw this in a Kindle book I was reading...After leaving office, President Calvin Silent Cal Coolidge went on to write a nationally syndicated newspaper column, Calvin Coolidge Says from 1930 to 1931. Apparently, he didn't talk a lot, but he wrote for awhile! This book is by Leland Gregory and is called Stupid American History: Tales of Stupidity, Strangeness, and Mythconceptions.

My Hometown and Thelma Lou's last name
I currently live in the small town where I grew up. I left for college, which was about two hours away, so it wasn't hard to visit home on the weekends. Also, for several years I lived in another small town, but that was only 30 min. away. So I feel like I never really left home. And that's okay w/ me. I have my family here, and that's the most important thing. OK - so, Thelma Lou's last name...isn't it Lou??? ; ) Just kidding - I don't think it was ever mentioned on the show, until, like someone pointed out, it was mentioned when she came in for the class reunion and her married name was mentioned. But while she lived in Mayberry, I don't think we ever knew her married name, nor where she worked. Curious, curious...

this and that and different things
Dear Friends - I have a few odds and ends to share w/ everyone... First, Happy Thanksgiving to all in Mayberry!! I wanted to tell everyone that I have been on a little vaca w/ a friend of mine. We went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and visited a few sites there. Of course, both of us being TAGS fans, we went to Manteo to look around and we visited the theater where they perform the Lost Colony play each summer. This is where our own beloved Andy got his professional acting start (according to the theater and internet stories)! It is also close to where Andy lives currently. It was an awesome trip and we had a great time. It is a lovely area and I can see why Andy would fall in love w/ the area and want to live there! We also went to the Wright Bros. memorial in Kill Devil Hills, Bodie's Island (pronounced body's, not bow-dees) and Currituck lighthouses, NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island, and the Elizabethan Gardens (also on Roanoke Island). I highly recommend a stay in the Outer Banks area - there are many fun things to do - if you go during the season (late spring/summer/early fall) you can also go on a dolphin watch and go to see the wild horses. HEY, there's also a YMCA nearby, but we splurged and stayed in a hotel instead of getting the corner room at the Y. ; ) I missed out on answering the questions before, so I will answer them now... As to which character I would be, I think that's a hard one, but maybe Miss Ellie, except I wouldn't disappear from Mayberry - I would stay and enjoy life in that small but wonderful town! And what crime would I do that would get me an arrest? H - another difficult one - I would probably get in trouble for jaywalking (or maybe playing bingo). I doubt I would get in trouble for partaking in Col. Harvey's elixir, but you never really know, do you??? ; ) OK - that's it for now...I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - we're having our official family dinner tomorrow, so I'm still looking forward to our dinner, but today was a nice day and I hope all my Mayberry friends had a great day, too!

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 11, Issue 297
While I don't claim to be a Trained Noticer I did catch something interesting the other day. Our local TV station was showing the episode where Parnell Riggsbee lost a change purse with $50.00 in it and Opie found it and turned it in to Andy. Andy looked at the clock and told him that if nobody claimed it by a certain number of days it would be his on that day at 3:05 P.M. When the big day came they counted down the time and gave Opie the money at 3:00 P.M. and not 3:05. Has anyone else ever noticed this. I didn't double check the episode on the DVD but I think I'm correct. Bob Andy says 3:05 at first, then Barney tells Andy that Opie has already been there for 5 minutes. Thus, Andy takes 5 min. off the time and Opie gets the money at 3:00 instead of 3:05. : ) Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Allan - Thanks for letting us know about the death of Joanna's son. I will be praying for them to be comforted at this time of terrible sorrow. I'm glad you passed this on to the whole list. Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
S-car-gots and worms
I think those s-car-gots are about as yucky as a worm on a fishing hook and I don't personally care to touch either one of them! I would say eeewww to them both!! Lisa : ) P.S. Thanks to the Newsomes for the Christmas card!! Merry Christmas to all the list! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Thanks Allan
While we all have those opinions, this is not the place to voice them. I agree, and thanks, Allan. While I do have very strong opinions on the election, I much prefer to keep this list away from political commentary. I don't mind someone pointing out that the actors did the videos in support of their candidate, because some of us may like to watch it, but the real world is hard enough without letting it into our Mayberry. All of us should vote, but I honestly can't tell you whether you should vote for Pike or Stoner. Just vote your conscience, I guess. That's your own business... Oh, you're not talking about THAT election. ; ) Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Hi Tom
Tom - I think that question was a serious question and I really don't think anyone was making sport at all. I believe that most if not all of us are very interested in hearing about the actors you have met and/or corresponded with through the years. Many questions and comments have come through the list about Mr. Schwamp's identity, and it is one of the major curiosities about TAGS. We understand that it is labor intensive for you to type your emails and we really do appreciate your effort to tell us about the actors you have known. It is truly interesting to hear about people that I will never have the chance to know because most are already gone, like Frances Bavier and others. I just think someone was wondering if maybe you really did know who Mr. Schwamp was since you have done so much research into so many actors and their backgrounds. With respect, Lisa whether poised as a serious question or whether im being made sport of, im dead serious about my actors character and supporting characters. I was hoping to see my long message that took alot out of me physically and emotiomally. it was overlooked for 4 other messages but yoiu cant have it your way all the time. Someone ask if i knew who Mr Schwamp was. Since i never joke about show buisness performers i know or dont know , ill tell you in whatever spirit it was asked NO NO NO. I dont know and its the kind of mystery no one really probabally wants to solve. If I knew i would had told everyone months ago. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
A Favorite Season of TAGS
Now here is an interesting question for discussion. Since all of the seasons of Andy are out on DVD, which is your favorite season? I know personally mine would be the fourth season. Well, finally I am able to answer a What's your favorite... question. I can't pick out a favorite episode or line from TAGS, but I agree that the fourth season is my favorite one, too. There were great episodes, very funny, good lines and situations for the characters to find themselves in, and just a great season altogether.

Mr. Schwamp's hat
It must've been a windy day when Mr. Schwamp wore his hat. : ) Or maybe he was just feelin' extra sporty. Lisa The episode where he wears a hat is in The Luck of Newton Monroe (season 5). When Andy and Barney talk to Newton Monroe on the street in front of the jewelry store and coffee shop, a crowd begins to gather behind them. There are several men with hats, but one in particular in the center back of the crowd is definitely Mr. Schwamp wearing a hat. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
The Darlins and funniest line
Do you like the episode with The Darlings or not? Well, I absolutely LOVE the Darlins (I know there's a g on the end, but I say it w/o the g, so I will type it that way, too). They're just hilarious! Their superstitious beliefs, the silent boys, and Charlene's crush on Andy are too much! I love all of the episodes w/ them, and I wish there were a few more episodes w/ them. I feel the same about Ernest T. and Leon. They should've been on there more, but we have to treasure those few episodes w/ them. Another starter question: What is the funniest line in AG? (of all the episodes) I don't know if I could pick just one funniest line. There are so many funny lines. I think my favorite moment, although I'm not sure you could put it down to just one line, is when Ernest T. tried to join the army and had his physical. I love it when he said Ah when he opened his mouth and then asked what he should say for the ears. Of course, the medic told him to hush and E.T. said HSHHH. Then the hearing test was hilarious, too. I love that episode, but it's too hard to pick out just one line for the absolute funniest of all episodes. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Andy and Brad on video and The Dreaded PIP!
Well, I watched Brad's video w/ Andy, and all I can say is That one makes me cry. I liked it, but what a tearjerker!! : ) As to the Dreaded Pip, I hope Opie's bird or Winken, Blinken, or Nod didn't come down with that. It sounds awful!

Don Knotts was from Morgantown, WV! From Lisa, a proud WV native! : ) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Jack Nicholson and Andrew
About the Jack N. autograph, my thought would be to get the book back if you have a chance to get signatures from others who were connected to TAGS. Those signatures may be easier to get than Jack's. Who called Andy Andrew? I know the mayor did - not Pike- Stoner, Roy Stoner, S-T-O-N-E-R. I believe that Howard's mom called Andy Andrew, and h, the third one is tough. OK, was the other one Andy himself? He said his name was Andrew Paul on the episode Floyd the Gay Deceiver when Opie called him Pa (I don't know if that counts or not), or did that penpal lady of Floyd's call him Andrew? Or then again, maybe it was Floyd. I don't know, just guessing on that third one. Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 9, Issue 143
There is also Hogette Winslow, who he claims he rebuffed despite a handsome business offer. I believe the girl's name was Halcyon who was interested in Barney. Hogette was a girl Ernest T. was interested in. He threw a rock through her window, hit her in the head, and she married the taxidermist what sewed up her head, according to Ernest T. Poor old Ernest T. - he never could catch a break. Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Dancin' with the (Mayberry) Stars
I think Goober and Helen, Gomer and Thelmer Lou should dance together. And then Andy, Bernie, and the Fun Girls! Helen could shoot dirty looks at Andy for dancing with those fun girls instead of her. Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Bible
I was just watching one where the Taylor's were sitting on the porch watching people go to church, and Opie started telling Johnny Paul about the sermon at the early service that they'd attended. Opie said it was a good one and started telling about Cain and Abel, but Andy stopped him. Opie said something like That's all I can tell you Johnny Paul, but don't be surprised if someone gets killed. Andy told him that Biblical knowledge is a fine thing but you don't have to flaunt it. I think the episode was Family Visit from the 5th season. Lisa I was just wondering how many references to the Bible, Good Book, or actual scripture references we can remember from TAGS. -- Flora ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Merry Christmas
OK, Allan, I appreciate you sending those Ghosts of Christmas past for us to review, but I have to tell you that you nearly got a rude for one of them. I was watching the one that you combined TAGS with It's a Wonderful Life, and I thought, How heartwarming and sweet, to send Christmas greetings in this way. Then I saw the end of it with the two angels Daphne and Ernest T., and I nearly spit out my drink laughing at them! Well, yes, I had seen them before, but I forgot about the little surprise at the end of it. No, really I thought it was very funny and it was nice to see the past Christmas greetings. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas, and Merry Christmas to everyone in our little corner of Mayberry!!

pickles or coffee?
My wife knows how much I can't stand coffee and, when we heard the story, she told me, You're probably the only person who'd rather have the jar of pickles. Well, you're not the only one. I don't like coffee either. But I don't want the pickles if they are bad ol' home pickles. I only want them if they are good ol' store pickles. : ) By the way, I would take the Starbuck's card, though. They have some kind of awesome chocolate drinks that are really yummy, and not a drop of coffee in them. H, gift cards are one thing we'd never see in Mayberry. I don't think the pharmacy even took credit cards, much less gift or debit cards. ; ) Lisa PS Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Sir Walter Raleigh Landin' day to all of you cyber-Mayberry-ites!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mari Ellen
Mari Ellen, My prayers are with you. I don't know if you are a member of Allan's prayers and praises list, but you might be interested in joining if you aren't already a member. My mom went through breast cancer so I know how rough it is. I hope your treatments get rid of it permanently.

Fake Dads
Well, I know that we once had Opie Taylor, Sr. running around during the Miracle Salve scandal. Of course, that was Gomer P. acting like he was Opie's dad. Then Floyd acted like he was the dad of Andy and Opie when he was the writer of untrue pen pal letters. (That was one time that Andy acted like he WASN'T Opie's dad!) Now, I can't really think of a third one, but this might just barely count - when Gomer joined the Marines, Andy tried to get Sgt. Carter to believe that Col. Pyle (or was it Gen. Pyle?) was Gomer's dad. Now, Col. Pyle didn't appear on the show as far as I remember, so he couldn't have masqueraded as Gomer's dad, and I'm not even sure that was a TAGS episode, but I think it was. If there's another one, I can't quite remember at this time. Well, I did my best, anyway...
