Barney the Bluebird

HI fellow TAGS Fans, Just a little story of Barney the Bluebird out in my back yard. Our yard is a haven for wild birds, and on occasion we get eastern bluebirds to our feeders and bird boxes. This spring we are fortunate to have a pair of these beautiful birds nesting in a little ceramic

Unseen characters

Regarding unseen characters on TAGS: Gotta love 'em... How can we EVER forget Laura Lee Hobbs at the dime store??? Is she's still keeping her secret about the gold truck? Oh, and then there's Hogette, Ernest T.'s girlfriend (wasn't that her name?) And, Maude with the versitis (she

TAGS at Suppertime

We have a local TV Station here in Charlotte that airs TAGS, THANKFULLY, and it's on at SUPPERTIME! It's so nice to get a break from all the disheartening news and watch Andy, Barney, Opie and Aunt Bee while we're preparing, and sometimes, having our supper! And, yeah, we call it supper

Keeping TAGS on TVLand

I have to say I am very disheartened that TV Land has TAGS on very early AM and only once at 5:30 PM. Today was nice with the 2 hour block, however, that's only Monday, and in the mornings when lots of folks can't watch. I've written them twice now, and will continue to until hopefully, they

RE: Lunch Counters

Re: passing of Amzie Strickland

So sorry to read of the passing of Amzie Strickland. I would imagine her family is somewhat relieved of her passing in that she suffered the agony of Alzheimer's. I know how horrid this disease is, for my precious Dad passed away in February after a 7 year long battle. I fondly remember

Statue of Don Knotts

Just read in the local paper today that a statue of our beloved Barney will be built and installed in Mt. Airy, NC, hopefully by this fall. I would imagine it would be near the TVLand statue of Andy and Opie? The town of Mt. Airy will decide. According to the paper (through the AP)... Neil

Re: Birthdays on TAGS

I do remember the episode where Otis' birthday is celebrated, where Andy gets him a cake and candles. And, who could forget the episode of Aunt Bee's birthday where Andy gives her the canning jars (how dare he? HAHA) and she really wants the bed jacket! jaywalkin' joan in NC Well, now, if
