Percussion

For some reason I thought of something right off and am surprised nobody else has mentioned it. At the end of the episode where Bea, Clara and Myrtle go to Mexico, Andy, Howard and Emmett are playing their souvenir maracas. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Alumni

Since so many enjoy seeing TAGS alumni in other roles I got to thinking. (Tough to do without a bucket) What are some of your favorite non TAGS roles by your favorite Mayberry residents? For me 2 come to mind: 1. Will Wright as the sheriff of Bent Fork Tenn on I Love Lucy and 2. Frances

Favorite Quotes

While we all love TAGS I'm sure most of us have our own favorite episodes. This got me to thinking about individual quotes. Does everyone have a favorite that never fails to make you smile? Mine wasn't even said by a main character. It was when Andy and Barney went to arrest Ben for making

I was at the eye doctor and while I was waiting I put on my bucket. I was thinking and thinking and thinking. Then I remembered. Barney and Virgil played four games of skee ball. FOUR GAMES ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

balls

Barney and Thelma Lou spoke of a girl's softball team. (Which is slightly different from baseball) Also I believe Malcolm spoke of cricket matches. One more thing I would like to add. Many have mentioned basketball in regards to Andy and Opie, but Aunt Bee said she and Clara were on the same

A very good list but there is one obvious one missing. Barney. He stayed overnight during his visits from Raleigh. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

TAGS Matlock

Add to the list of appearances on TAGS and Matlock:   Arlene Golonka and Pat Hingle     Something I have wondered about lately is what movie or tv episode, other than the obvious (Matlock, Mayberry RFD) had the most TAGS alumni appear at any one time?  I can think of 7 in The Ghost And Mr.

Re: Alumni Sighting

That was a good eye recognizing Mrs. Wiley. There was one, however, that you missed. The guest of honor at the party was none other than Jubal Foster, who burned down his own barn. (You're crazy. I told you it was them kids.) I wonder if he may have brought the refreshments to Mrs. Wiley's

Re: TAGS to Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.

I'm surprised that the first one to come to my mind hasn't been mentioned. William Christopher, best known as Father Mulcahy on MASH. He portrayed a doctor and an IRS agent on TAGS, but was one of Gomer's marine buddies. If I recall correctly, his character's name was Hummel.

Re: More Thoughts about the Taylors

Ken I don't know how Andy's house was paid for, but he didn't inherit it. In the episode you mention, when Barney tried to get Andy to sell the house, he told Opie that when he bought the house, the ceiling had just been painted to hide the crack. I do like everyone's speculation about things

Foley's Market

Sorry folks. I don't know of another scene inside Foley's market, but in the episode where Opie competes for the delivery job, he worked for Mr. Dokes, not Foley. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Bachelor Ken

While it sounds like you are in for a good time, I must offer you a word of caution. Down at the barbershop, Floyd has been gossiping again. For some reason he thinks Peggy has plans to visit and take over your household. As much as we all love TAGS, somehow I don't think Linda would

Mayberry Sweethearts

Malfeasance?

I just watched the episode Barney Runs For Sheriff. In it, Barney accuses Andy of 76 cases of malfeasance, but only mentions 3. This got me curious. What do you think the other 73 were? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Deputies

A very impressive list. There are 2 that I can think of right off that are missing: 1) Ernest T. Bass (He just wanted his uniform) 2) Ellie  (She was sworn in during the Christmas episode) I'm trying to remember if Orville, the town undertaker/TV repairman was ever deputized and I'm not sure

Not Elmo

I saw the episode of Dick Van Dyke which you mentioned. That juror, who was a cab driver, was played by Herbie Faye. On TAGS he was the the show manager who fired Jerry Van Dyke, the customer who bought the counterfeit bills and the crook whose cell was bugged with the tape recorder. He was

Sometimes There Is A Fine Line Between TAGS And Real Life

I've always loved the game of baseball. Unfortunately. I was never any good at it. So, at the age of 15, I became a certified umpire. Over the next 29 years I officiated many baseball and softball games, from Little League through high school, and even some adult recreation games. Because of

Oscar Winners

I know Jack Nicholson won at least 3 or 4 Oscars. I'm thinking George Kennedy was also a winner. And while not appearing on camera, Ron 'Opie' Howard won several Oscars as director and producer. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

A local station has been showing episodes of Adam-12. This evening the officers were attending an awards ceremony honoring Reed for saving Malloy's life. Accompanying Malloy was our own Helen Crump. The kicker was when the Sergeant told Malloy Keep an eye on her. She goes for men in uniform.

Same Actor/ Different Name

Does anyone know why some characters on TAGS have differing names? They are played by the same actors, and are the same characters, but have different names in different episodes. I can't believe the writers were being sloppy, nor that Andy would let these go by unnoticed. Some that come to

Re: Female Deputy in Mayberry?

Actually there were 2 female deputies in Mayberry. During the only Christmas episode TAGS ever made, Andy swore in a whole bunch of extra deputies to 'guard' the Muggins family. These were Aunt Bee, Ellie, and of course Opie.   I've seen Will Wright in quite a few shows, but to me this was by

Facial Hair

It seems to me that Bobby Fleet's trumpet player had a gotee. Of course, that may have been from the blueberry pie he had for breakfast. And let's not forget Sam Drucker's (aka Frank Cady) multiple appearances. And then there's druggist Fred Walker, the publisher who set Andy up because of a

Sarah

While Sarah was never seen on TAGS, I believe the telephone operator Sarah on Green Acres was. There was a series of episodes where Oliver took over the phone company and the former owner's mother was the operator. She was played by longtime character actress Marie Earl and I am pretty sure her

Return To Mayberry

It's hard to believe that more time has passed since this movie (1986) than there was between it and the end of production of TAGS. Here is the only bad thing I have ever remotely had to say about TAGS. I was so disappointed with The Return To Mayberry. I felt the storyline was fluff, but the

I just recently saw this episode again. I may be wrong, and, according to my wife, I usually am, but I have always thought the voice responding was Charles Thompson. He portrayed Asa Bascomb, Asa Breeney and Doc Roberts. In the gold shipment episode he was Asa the hotel desk clerk.   For an old
