Spelling Bee (get it?)
Now you old-timers know this, so this is for the new arrivals. On The Andy Griffith Show, it is Aunt BEE, not BEA. It is always spelled B-E-E in the credits, never B-E-A, and it is seen spelled BEE on screen within episodes a few times too (example: painted on the window of her Chinese restaurant). Just remember: it's I before E except after C, and E after E in Aunt Bee. Now that I'm the subject of spelling, here's a trivia question: which recurring character's name was once misspelled in the closing credits? Not the actor's name, the character's name. --Paul Mulik Sent from my U.S. Cellular BlackBerry® smartphone ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Spelling BEE
OK, so I thought the other rule is: I before E except after C and E before N in chicken! Susi Blank Miss Crump, many years later ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mother Is a Freshman
I happened to watch Mother was a Freshman with Loretta Young and who do you think was playing her daughter...the movie was made in 1949, and had Van Johnson in it. That would be Betty Lynn, our own Thelma Lou! Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Elizabeth Taylor
Does anyone remember what episode Elizabeth Taylor was mentioned? So hard to believe she has passed! Peggy You never was so close for you to be carryin' on this way! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TAGS alumni
I don't usually write in about the actors from TAGS I see appearing in other shows, but I thought I would this time. I've been watching The Waltons on DVD while I exercise on my elliptical, and I've seen two TAGS alumni, both former flames of Andy Taylor, on back-to-back episodes. Yesterday I saw Peggy McCay (Sharon DeSpain) playing the mother of a blind girl. This was eleven years after the Class Reunion episode. Then today I saw Joanna Moore (Peggy McMillan) playing the owner of a boarding house where John Walton, Sr., stays briefly while working a city job. This was twelve years after her stint as Andy's girlfriend. I must say that, although she was still a pretty lady, she looked a good bit older than her age of 39 or 40. I'm assuming this was due to some of the poor choices she made in her personal life. I thought she definitely looked older than Peggy McCay, even though Peggy is four years older than Joanna. Both ladies gave good performances, and it was nice to see them again in other roles. Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Elizabeth Taylor
I do believe the episode where Elizabeth Taylor was mentioned was when Aunt Bee did the Foster's Furniture Polish commercials, and she said this might be alright for Elizabeth Taylor, but it's not for me. Then the show was off the road! Does this sound correct? My mother wanted to name me Elizabeth (my last name was Taylor) but didn't want to attach me to a famous person. Go figure!

Smoking
Everyone got the trivia question correct. The 3 men who smoked in the same episode were indeed Andy, Fred Goss, and Otis. And the episode was Wedding Bells For Aunt Bea. Fred Goss was an easy guess because he smoked in every episode he appeared in. And Andy was pretty easy because he smoked semi-frequently. But the surprising one was Otis. I do not remember Otis smoking in any other episode. Does anyone remember Otis smoking in any other episode? Orville Hendricks - Peddling Butter and Eggs. I saw the post where Ferlin Huskey died. It came the same day we were speaking of smoking. That got me to thinking about the old country song Out Behind The Barn. That is where most country boys smoked their first cigarette. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TAGS names in book
Due to many problems I am in a wheelchair and I read much of the time. Recently while reading, I realized the two dogs in the story were named Earnest T and Otis. I found this interesting. The next name was of a former teacher - Mrs. Mendlebright. Then Ben Weaver was a lawyer and the main young lady's first name was Emma!Needless to say, my imagination went to work on how funny our TAGS folks would be as the ones in the book! I loved it - but it does show many, many folks love TAGS,too. Margaret Dishman (from Cookeville) AMSOM chapter ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
