Surprise Alumni Sightings
Watching MeTV last night, I was a little surprised to see Ken Lynch (Capt. Barker in "The Manhunt", FBI agent in "A Black Day for Mayberry") on "All In the Family" - not as a gruff detective or cop, but as a refrigerator repairman trying to fix the Bunker's fridge. Maybe Aunt Bee should have called him when Andy told her to "Call the man!" Then, on "Dick Van Dyke", there was Mr. Jackson, the pompous magazine editor from "Andy on Trial" (Roy Roberts) , as a pompous sponsor of the Allen Brady Show - married to none other than the snooty Mrs. Bixby (Isabel Randolph) of the Women's Historical Society in "A Plaque for Mayberry". Now that is a match made in heaven. JOE from G.I. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

On the Thursday MeTV Perry Mason show, there were a lot of TAGS Alumni. There is almost for sure one each day, but I do not comment unless I can find at least three.Today the falsely accused murderer was none other than Sharon DeSpain.Sitting in the courtroom with her were Naylor the Chicken Thrower, and Doctor Harrison Everett Breen.This was one of the better Perry Mason Shows.

Earlier this week on MeTV's Perry Mason, they showed "The Case Of The Trecherous Toupee".I noticed several TAGS alumni on the show.Otis was there as was Orville Monroe.But the obscure TAGS alumni on this show was Thomas Browne Henry.I have always enjoyed the acting of Mr. Henry. He is not a handsome leading man, but he is a good actor. Now I have a little quiz for all of the fans of TAGS. Thomas Browne Henry appeared once on TAGS, and without looking it up can you remember in which episode he appeared?Here are a couple of hints, he appeared on the show for only about a minute (he did speak), and he was not a resident of Mayberry. Remember, no cheating. Orville Hendricks - Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man * ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

On Wednesday's MeTV Perry Mason, there were a plethora of TAGS alumni. The main character was Briscoe Darling.The Judge was Chuck O'Malley.The murderer was Malcolm Tucker.Also appearing, even though she did not serve any Chicken-Ala-King was Irene Tedrow (Mrs. Foster).Almost every day on Perry Mason there are one or two TAGS alumni, but I enjoy finding four or more.

I can’t even begin to tell you how many TAGS characters are on the old Perry Mason episodes. From Willis Bouchey as a judge to Dabbs Greer yelling “Yes, I killed him. I killed the big gas bag.”, (The Case of the Prudent Prosecutor). Aunt Bee has a vital role in The Case of the Crimson Kiss. And you can’t forget the very first episode with Whitney Blake (The Case of the Restless Redhead) as she’s being pursued by some nefarious hoodlums. I’ve counted as many as 4 TAGS links in one episode. Even if you don’t care for the show, DVR some and fast forward to see how many you count.

TAGS fans, I was watching "Gunsmoke" this afternoon and Denver Pyle was on it. He was the rustic father of four uncouth sons. Imagine the Darlings if they didn't have Sharlene and were evil psychopaths.

On Thanksgiving night, I was flipping through the channels, and stopped for a short time on Turner Classic Movies.They were playing that famous Cary Grant movie "North By Northwest". When I got there they were having an auction in a room full of people. The auctioneer was C. J. Hasler and his assistant was John Masters. Cary Grant was trying to get arrested, so he kept interrupting the auction. John Masters finally had to call the police, and when the police showed up one of them was Ken Lynch who played a policeman 3 times on TAGS.

For those interested in Alumni sightings, The Rifleman is must-see TV! Countless TAGS as well as other future stars just getting started. I just DVR the entire series and watch them 2-3 at a time. IMDB is an invaluable website to match up some of the more obscure actors. Off the top of my head in The Rifleman are Clara Edwards (Hope Summers) as the storekeeper, Jim Lindsey (James Best), and the town of Northfork's Doctor, mainly referred to as Doc Burridge, is none other than Mr. Wheeler, the Rose Whisperer!

Watching the "Twilight Zone" last night on MeTV, there was Jean (Daphne) Carson playing the wife of a crook in a pretty good episode called "A Most Unusual Camera" - a couple years before appearing on TAGS. Then, while listening to an NPR segment about the role of sheriffs in America, the host mentioned Andy Griffith specifically at the beginning, then they played the TAGS theme at the end of the piece.

Triple Alumni on "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C."
Watched the episode "The Short Voyage Home" and saw 3 TAGS alumni in less than 5 minutes. The first 2 played the exact type of character they played on TAGS: Jay Novello, the crook in "Guest of Honor", and the crooked lawyer in "Otis Sues the County", played another smooth-talking swindler, trying to get ahold of Gomer's wad of cash. As soon as he left the scene, here comes "Hubcaps Lesh", also looking to relieve Gomer of his $1600. She was even dressed in the same outfit she wore as the crooked widow in "Barney's First Car". But the third alum played the exact opposite type of role he played in TAGS. Mild-mannered choirmaster John Masters was a wanted criminal in the episode - the police nabbed him on Gomer's bus and took him into custody. I guess with all the casting, writing, and directing overlap between Gomer Pyle and TAGS, it's not too surprising to see the frequent crossover actors.

Great article - and a new alumni sighting
First, thanks Jeff for that link to the column by "Sean of the South" - a very touching, well-written article. And, from "McHale's Navy" (a show I haven't noticed a TAGS alumni on), there was Roy Roberts, the big shot editor, Mr. Jackson, in "Andy on Trial", as an Admiral - he was perfect in that role.

Triple Alumni on Dick Van Dyke.....and a question
Another multi-alumni sighting on another great 60's sitcom. Last night on
MeTV, in "The Great Petrie Fortune", there was Dan Tobin ("Gentleman Dan
Caldwell") as the lawyer reading Rob's uncle will; Herb Vigran ("The Bookie
Barber") as a relative waiting for his share of the will; and Forrest
Lewis, who was in 6 episodes of TAGS. Not too bad.
Now, a question - I don't know if this is a young vs. old, or northern vs.
southern, or rural vs. city thing - but when Andy says that he was in
"upper 5th grade", and someone else was in "lower 5th grade" - what does
this mean? I never heard of that.

Then there was a general at the conference table who I thought might've been on TAGS but I couldn't place him - until I looked him up on IMDB.

>bit parts were given to the same group of people. Agreed there were less actors available for bit parts half a century ago but remember each production house “owned” the actors that contracted with them. Warner Bros “owned” the westerns where many actors appear and reappear. But also – Production houses “loaned” actors out.

While watching the old 50s and 60s tv shows quite a few actors showed up from one show to another. I put the bucket on my head and gave it a think. There were not as many people in the tv acting business back then and fewer agents so the bit parts were given to the same group of people. Good for them.

The Case of the Triple Alumni Sighting
Just happened to come across a Perry Mason episode this morning while
changing channels ("The Case of the Hateful Hero") and in less than 10
minutes, I saw 3 TAGS alumni: Howard Sprague's mother as the CEO of a
company; Agent Jenkins, the fake FBI agent in "Crime Free Mayberry", as a
crooked company board member; and Mr. Allen, the phony film producer who
came to Mayberry as part of the crew to supposedly make a movie about
Sheriff Taylor in "TV or Not TV", as the police board chairman.

Alumni Sighting - and two questions
Last night, I watched a very good episode of "The Twilight Zone" titled "BacK There", about a man who somehow goes back in time and tries to stop Lincoln's assassination. The Washington D.C. police desk sergeant, with huge mutton-shop sideburns, was none other than Paul Hartman a/k/a Emmett Clark. I've seen this episode before but never picked up on it. Now, a couple questions: first, just finished watching the "Gomer Pyle: USMC" episode "Gomer Goes Home". It dawned on me - at the end, as Gomer was leaving on the bus, he looks out the window and sees Andy, Opie, Aunt Bee and Goober just returning from their camping trip. Why would they pull up to the Court House, where Andy climbed up on the station wagon and started unloading all their luggage and gear there, instead of just going back to their house? Makes no sense. Makes a better ending, I guess. My other question is this: I thought the only actors who were listed in the show credits at the end were people who had speaking parts in the episode - that's why we don't know who played Mr. Schwump, for example. Yet Clint Howard's name is in the credits in the episodes where little Leon makes an appearance, although he never says anything. I'm guessing it's because his big brother and father were on TAGS??

I recently watched an episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and surprisingly, there were 3 TAGS alumni on it: first, of course, was Laura's friend and neighbor, Millie, who was Ella, the local newspaper reporter in Season 8's episode "Aunt Bee's Cousin"; then, there was Malcolm Merriweather, as the teacher of an adult education class who had romantic designs on Laura; and finally, there was Emma Watson/Brand as the oldest student in class, who had a very funny part. Merry Christmas to all. Thanks to everyone for the great posts and links and humorous comments the past year. Looking forward to a happy and healthy 2022, and another year of this TAGS Bulletin Board. (And thanks to Allan for keeping this going).

Bright and early on Monday morning I was watching Perry Mason on MeTV. I caught sight of 3 TAGS alumni on today's episode.In this episode called "The Bareface Witness", Rich Old Man McCabe was the Prosecuting Attorney. One of the pivotal witnesses was J. Howard Jackson, the magazine publisher with a grudge against Andy.Finally, the guilty party was old Luke Jensen, the cow thief.Once a crook, always a crook.

Surprise alumni sighting
The other day on Turner Classic Movies they showed the Lucllle Ball / Henry Fonda film "Yours, Mine, and Ours". The girls were sitting around the dining room table in a scene and one of them looked really familiar, and I was sure I had seen her on TAGS. Turns out, it was Suzanne Cupito/Morgan Brittany, who played Mary Alice Carter in Season 8's "Opie's First Love". The movie and the episode were shot the same year, so I guess that's why she looked so familiar. JOE from G.I. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Monday, on MeTV's Perry Mason, there was a trio of TAGS alumni. Otis made his first Perry Mason appearance on this show.Also there was Orville Monroe, the undertaker.Finally, the murdered man in the episode was Thomas B. Henry.You remember Thomas B. Henry don't you?He was the man who repossessed Jim Lindsey's fancy little car. That repoing can be a dangerous profession.

Four-for-one TAGS alumni sighting
While watching MeTV, I noticed a four-for-one on "Wanted Dead or Alive" with Edgar Buchanan, Arthur Hunnicutt, Willis Bouchey, and Alan Soule.

On Wanted Dead Or Alive today several alumni showed up. Olan Soule, Willis Bouchey, Arthur Hunnicutt, and Edgar Buchanan all showed up. The episode was about a feud and Josh Randall hired to stop it.

Another surprising alumni sighting
I was watching a 1964 episode of "McHale's Navy" Saturday night, with the plot of having a Russian naval officer visiting the crew of PT-73 to learn about our tactics, etc. Turns out the officer was a woman, to everybody's surprise - and, to my surprise, she was none other than Sue Ane Langdon, a/k/a Nurse Mary, who went out on the nighttime picnic with Andy that Barney, of course, interrupted. Quite a difference between the two roles, especially when she went from a strict by-the-book officer to a vodka-drinking, sarong-wearing buddy of McHale's crew. Another versatile TAGS actress.

Double-alumni sighting on M.A.S.H. - and another in a classic movie
Watching a Season 2 episode of M.A.S.H. ("The Trial of Henry Blake"), there
was Clara Edwards, playing a nurse running a clinic in Korea. And the guy
playing the general in charge of the court-martial looked familiar from
TAGS too, so I looked him up: Robert Simon, who played Mr. Crawford, the
drug store owner, in "Opie's Drugstore Job".
A couple days earlier, I watched the 1956 movie "Patterns" on TCM, about
the ruthless world of corporate board rooms. The nasty, mean villain of the
movie was Everett Sloane, known to TAGS fans as mean old Jubal Foster in
"The Keeper of the Flame". The casting director for TAGS must've seen that
movie when thinking about who to cast as "Jubal".

Alumni Sighting - and the price of lettuce.......
Watching "Dick Van Dyke" last night, the star of the episode was one of my favorite TAGS alumni - Denver Pyle. He played Rob Petrie's Uncle George and was great in a very funny role. The episode was filmed in 1963, the same year that Briscoe Darling made his first TAGS appearance. I thought it was interesting that "Uncle George" was supposed to be much older than the young-looking Rob, and he looked it - but in reality Denver Pyle was only 5 years older than Dick Van Dyke. Another interesting fact from that episode: the guy who played Sally's boyfriend, Herman, was Bill Idelson. If that name seems familiar, it's because he was also a writer who wrote about a dozen TAGS episodes (and the Uncle George episode he appeared in on "Dick Van Dyke"). JOE from G.I.

Just finished watching a very good episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and there was Doris Packer (Mrs. Wiley), playing basically the same role she did in TAGS one year later - a hostess at a party (although a lot fancier one than the one in Mayberry). But then there was another familiar face from TAGS - Everett Sloane, who played a famous, successful poet, 3 years after he played the moonshining Jubal Foster who burned his own barn down on TAGS.

Saturday afternoon on MeTV, I was watching "Wanted Dead Or Alive".There were a couple of bounty hunters on the show that arrested the Mayor like Barney arrested Mayor Pike.But these two bounty hunters not only arrested the Mayor, they killed him. But getting back to the Alumni part, the head bounty hunter was Frank Smith. (His name would have to be Frank). I do not think that was Angela Cartwright in Miss Crump's classroom.She was simply too big of a star at this time to be playing unbilled parts.She had just finished 10 years on The Danny Thomas Show, and was about to start starring on Lost In Space.

Another surprise alumni sighting
This past weekend on TCM I watched, for the first time, John Ford's underrated film "The Last Hurrah", starring Spencer Tracy in a great role. There were a lot of familiar faces in the film, but one in particular caught my attention right away: Willis Bouchey, who was in 4 TAGS episodes (including "Convicts-at-Large" where he helped Andy capture the 3 female convicts hiding out in his cabin); one episode of Gomer Pyle; and 3 episodes of R.F.D. In the movie, he played a pretty nasty fellow - unlike his roles in TAGS, where he was a pretty nice guy. Another good character actor who found his way into TAGS.

Double First Season/Double Alumni Sighting
The other day, I was watching an episode of "Perry Mason" from Season 1, and immediately recognized an alumni from Season 1 of TAGS: William Schallert a/k/a "Quiet Sam". In Perry Mason, he played an assistant to a wealthy, nasty guy and he ended up in trouble for being an accomplice to murder - quite a different role from his character in TAGS. But there was an older woman in the Perry Mason episode. playing a housekeeper to that same rich guy, who looked awfully familiar, so I looked her up. Turns out she was Lillian Bronson, the woman behind the scenes in Season 1's "The Beauty Contest" who Andy ended up giving the crown to at the end. Turns out she was born and raised in Lockport, NY, about 22 miles from where I live. JOE from G.I. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

Very sad news about Gavin Macleod. Fantastic in all of his acting roles. Have a look at The Very Old Antique from Season 1 of Petticoat Junction. "Jubal" is brilliant (once again) in the role as Mr. Waterhouse, the railway executive interested in buying the Cannonball. As is Charles Lane. (Mr. Frisbee on Andy and Homer Bedloe on PC) But, yes, very sad ending for Mr. Sloane. We remember him every time we hear the opening of TAGS as we do the great Earle Hagen. Be safe and well.
