Hi Gang!!!
To another Mike here in Indiana, your rumor is just that, a rumor. Several
years ago I interviewed Elinor Donahue and one of the questions I asked her was
about her leaving the show. Basically it was because she had just come off of
the Father Knows Best series and wanted to take
Pretty much the whole town had to forgive each other after the case of the
punch in the nose. Floyd and Charley Foley forgave each other in almost
the same way as they had years prior.
Also everyone forgave Barney for locking them up. When they feared he
might be let go, they locked themselves
IMDB does list the movie G-Men. It's from 1935 and stars James Cagney,
Margaret Lindsay, and Ann Dvorak. I have a copy in my collection. Glenn Ford

Since Glen Ford’s film biography doesn’t include a movie titled “G-Men”, I
suspect that the writers of the show were reluctant or not allowed to use the

Thank you all for acknowledging this loss that's weighing so heavily on our
hearts today. The greatest musician who ever lived is gone, Earl Scruggs.
We can't ignore it just because he never appeared in a TAGSRWC episode;

I believe I once read somewhere that Andy said he did not feel comfortable
with any of the actresses who were hired to play romantic interests until

on trying till he felt it was right and it was!

In the episode wherein Barn was
worried about security at the bank, Andy asks him if he recently saw the
movie G-Men with Glenn Ford (I think). I cannot find this film listed on
IMBD with Glenn nor under that title. Does anyone know what this refers to?
Could it have been another Glenn Ford
Hi Greg,
Thanks for noting these two wonderful crossover characters. I'd recently
been watching several episodes featuring Lou-Ann Poovie, but hadn't realized
that she was also a member of the TAGS team, but now I do recall how Mr.
Sprague was much taken with her. Thanks for jiggling my
Glen Ford has the right to go Glen Fording it all over town.I caught a clip
on Encore Westerns about him and they stated that he could draw/shoot in 4/10s
of a second, making him one of fastest draws in Hollywood. Barney would be
proud.

It could have been this one, here is the description, right time period.
Experiment in Terror, a stylized noir thriller, was director Blake Edwards's
second film in 1962, the first being a devastating portrait of alcoholism, Days
of Wine and Roses. Neither film would seem standard fare for a
It was such a thrill. She's a lovely lady. The Andy Griffith museum is full of
stuff too!! By the way, I took my mother there and we had to take her 3 dogs to
the vet to be boarded for the day. I piled them in my car and then took a
picture. The caption came to me dogs, dogs, dogs!
Our dear Mayor Stoner (that's Stoner.Stoner) was in two Gomer Pyle
episodes: Mr. Corbett in Gomer and the Phone Company and as Judson Travers in
