Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story

Thanks for the link to the Paul Harvey Rest of the Story about Mt. Airy.  I had not heard that one.  When I listen to the Rest of the Story programs, it's always fun to try to figure out who the subject is before the end of the program--the Mt. Airy story would have been one we would have all

Strongbow

Do you remember the guy that played the leader of the bowling team that played against the Mayberry team? Is he the same guy that played Tom Strongbow, the Indian? With that horrible make-up job... -- Ted (Theodoric of York) Oh, stewardess. I speak Jive.

Floyd

Are there any trained noticers out there would know the answer to this one.In the first season episode Stranger In Town, Floyd is played by someone other than Howard McNear. I was wondering why that gentleman played Floyd for just that one episode. Somehow Mayberry wouldn't have been the

T-shirt for Gomer?

I surfed across an online ad for a t-shirt company and the model was wearing a shirt that might be good for Gomer... The only thing we have to fear is fear itself (and in smaller print) and spiders Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

Beevee

the hierachy of Irish names: Beevee would be the original family name. His son would be Mac Beevee (mac being son). The Scots keep the MAC, but the Irish shorten it to Mc and his son would be O'Beevee (grandson or descendant of Beevee). Don't tell Earnest T., but Bass is originally an Englisher

Floyd's hair

Floyd gave himself a touch-up to cover the gray. One never knows when Madelyn Grayson might come to visit. Wretch, deceitful wretch! TV Land is showing the first season of Andy this weekend and I got to noticing that Floyd's hair had a lot more gray in it during the first few shows he was in.

Unresolved Epilogues

One of my favorites is the epilogue to Dogs, Dogs, DogsBarney and Andy are sitting in the courthouse relaxed after finding homes for all 11 dogs. Then a man named Clint Biggers shows up looking for the Dogs as the owner. Andy and Barney then (presumably) have to go out and get back all 11

Rule #2

I can't tell you how sorry I am for violating Rule #2 last week and creating a big mulage. I always forget that Rule. It was not my intention to besmerch Aunt Bee or her charactor. As was pointed out there are very many episodes where she was fantastic. My favorite Aunt Bee episode is

epilogues

Some very astute observations about the nature of unresolved epilogues and the suspension of disbelief they entail. I think my favorite of these is at the end of The loaded goat when Andy leads the goat over the hill while Barney plays that soothing harmonica solo! It leaves a somewhat poignant

Two Tom's (Baker and Strongbow)

I want to mention a word of thanks to Tom Baker, wonderful job on the radio clip. I love everything Mayberry related and thoroughly enjoyed it. Do you remember the guy that played the leader of the bowling team that played against the Mayberry team? Is he the same guy that played Tom
