Thanks and I'm going to try to get
back to paying more attention to the Digest.

I've been recovering from a recent hip replacement. Since I've been down,
I've been watching some of my recordings of old Columbo episodes. While
watching a second season episode titled "A Stitch In Crime", I saw Helen
Crump (Aneta Corsaunt), playing a very business like hospital nurse. She
was
I just read the first Mayberry article that Ken Anderson wrote for
the March 2018 edition of the Eau Claire Review. Ken, you so eloquently
expressed how all of the many TAGS fans feel about Mayberry and the entire
show. I look forward to reading many more of your reflections about
Mayberry,
I just wanted to tell Ken Anderson that, in addition to Don Knotts
radio days being mentioned in the recent book Andy & Don, those days are
covered very well in a little older book with the title Barney Fife and
Other Characters I Have Know, written by Don Knotts and Robert Metz, with a
I just read online that on April 1, 2012, The Andy Griffith Rerun
Watchers Club claimed that, with the help of many members and different
ancestry web sites, they could reveal the identity of the actor who played
Mr. Schwump. They claim that his name was Patch S. Wimmers. They say he

Thank You,

I just want to say that the posts from Thelma Lou (Janet) are, more
often than not, the "Life of the Party" and they never make her seem late
to the party. Most of her posts are spot on the subject and usually quite
interesting. I don't know her personally, but I just wanted to put in my
I could only come up with 5 TAGS episodes that mention cameras or
photos. The first is episode #41," Crime Free Mayberry". In this episode
about a phony FBI man presenting Andy and Barney an award for a very low
crime rate in Mayberry. In the episode, the phony newsman takes a picture
of
I don't comment as much as I'd like to, but I wanted to comment now
on a couple of things. In all of the discussion about the 1930's versus
1960's influences on TAGS, I'd like to just say this - I'm in my late 60's
and back in the late 1950's and early 1960's our family would visit
Gabe,
Charles Thompson played Asa Breeney in in five TAGS episodes, and he
played Doctor Roberts in two more TAGS episodes.
In episode 76, The Bank Job, he appeared as Asa, in episode 102 A Black Day
For Mayberry, as Asa, in episode 116 The Shoplifters, he appeared as Asa
Breeney,
I could only remember two of Barney's middle names. Those two were
Tibbs and Milton. However, after a little research, I found that the third
middle name was Oliver. There were times when Barney also used the middle
initial P. I researched several sources, but no one knew what the P stood
All of the odors and animals that have been named were great
choices! I have an animal and odor that go together and another animal
also. I'm not sure if anyone listed these yet. The animal and odor that go
together are the fish that Opie caught and he placed it in the desk drawer
in the
I just finished reading the book Andy & Don, which was published in
2015. I think that the highlight of the book was what a caring and sincere
friendship that Andy Griffith and Don Knots shared. It was the kind of
relationship that I think everyone would like to share with a special
friend
Happened to see Orville Hendricks (Woody Chambliss), The Mount Pilot Butter
and Egg Man, on Gunsmoke today. He was a grizzly old fur trader who lived
out on the plains in an old cabin. He had been paid by some questionable
lawmen to allow them to use his cabin as a place to try and trap a wanted
My wife happened to be watching Gunsmoke this afternoon, when I was
bringing in her lunch. I glanced up at the television and it was like
seeing triple sevens on a three reel slot machine. All together on the
screen were George Lindsey (Goober), Denver Pyle (Briscoe Darling), and
Hoke
What an insightful and very well written post! You really got to the
heart of what we all love about TAGS and Mayberry, and Mayberry is truly
the center of it all. I just want to add that all of us and our mutual love
for TAGS, and all that the show and Mayberry stand for, go a long way
While recently watching a couple of episodes of Hogan's Heroes, I spotted a
couple of TAGS alumni, one in each episode. Joyce Jameson (Skippy of the
fun girls) appeared as a German girl who lived in an apartment that shared
a back wall with the vault of a German bank. Hogan kept her busy with
Just went in to check on my wife and she was watching Gunsmoke. Just as I
was leaving to go for a walk, I realized that the storekeeper on the
Gunsmoke episode was Woodrow (Woody) Chambliss, who is none other than
Orville Hendricks, Mount Pilot Butter and Egg Man. He was feeling badly
about having
I believe that the episode that had Andy explaining vanity to Opie
was the one where Andy was getting ready for the Chamber of Commerce Dance.
Andy had just had Floyd give him a haircut and opie wanted to know why he
asked Floyd to give him a haircut but to not make it look like he had just
I know that I'm a little late with this, but I don't remember seeing
it posted. Another show I enjoyed, from the same era as TAGS, and very well
cast also, was Hogan's Heroes. When I was younger, I always wondered if
World War 2 veterans were offended by that show. Then, after I became
I'm a relatively new member, but a long time TAGS fan and this is my
first post. After reading Janet's recent long, but very enjoyable post, I
got to thinking about how much I enjoyed the show in my youth during the
1960's, but how I enjoy it so much more now that I'm in my late 60's. I
