Bat Masterson

I caught an episode of Bat Masterson this morning, but I can't watch Gene Barry anymore without thinking about James Best's story of working with Barry and threatening to whomp him for the way Barry talked to him. Somehow, that made Bat seem less of a heroic figure. dan

Easter in Mayberry

I would like to wish all our wonderful Digest family a very happy Easter. I wish TAGS would have had an Easter episode. Perhaps Ernest T. would have come into town and instead of throwing rocks he would have thrown eggs at all the windows. The Mayberry Band could have led a parade down

Happy Easter to all! Ken I liked your idea for an Easter episode...especially the egg throwing by Ernest T. What a great episode that would've been! Lisa Sent from my iPhone ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Gene Barry

Dan, I'm shocked to hear about Gene Barry mistreating our James Best. Way back in 1969 I was fortunate to attend a taping of the shows meant for our military forces serving overseas (they were called Operation: Entertainment, if memory serves me); I was working at NAS Memphis at the time. I met

Ken's Easter Show

Re:Cheap weddings

 If my mind didn't fail me, I do believe that Charlene's Wedding Dress was her mothers.  I remember Briscoe saying to Charlene that she looked as pretty as your Ma did when she got married in that dress.  I beg to differ that it was Charlene's mothers dress, but Barney did wear it too!  But

Easter Sunday

Hey, Mayberry friends. Today, a beautiful Easter Sunday morning. Got a new shirt and tie, went to church, had a great dinner with the family, turned on the TV to find a TAGS marathon on TV Land. That made the day perfect. Like Ken, I wish there had been an Easter episode of TAGS. The Christmas

One More Easter Activity in Mayberry

Easter episode

Thanks Ken for that wonderful Easter episode. Perhaps you could re-enact it at Mayberry days. I wonder if I could borrow Andy's tie with horses on it( I'll take the key chain too) and Goober's mimi tire cuff liks. Maybe you can get Freddy Fleet to help out with the band, if Barney and Gomer

with without whiskers

I recently saw an episode of The Rifleman.It featured a very young Denver Pyle(Briscoe) without any facial hair.Like I said,a much younger Briscoe,but the unique voice was his early beginning trademark. Also saw an episode of The Waltons.It featured Frank Ferguson(Charlie Foley)Mr.Foley was
