to credit or not

One wonders why McNear wasn't given credit. My understanding is the SAG requirement is that performances of six lines and up must be credited. But I could be wrong. Martha Humphreys, the never really sure Huntsville, AL ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

All this talk about Mayberry Days gave me a real inspiration. I am thinking of organizing a Mr. Schwamp Day here in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Sign me up. Won't even have to bring my hearing aid. :-) Martha Humphreys, the eager (What?) Huntsville, AL

Also other vending machines, which was handy because as soon as you found money you could spend it. And checking for extra games on pinball machines. Sometime in my twenties* I learned that from a twelve-year-old in Ocean City, MD. Martha Humphreys, the forever youthful Huntsville. AL *So

perfect winter

It appears the writers/producers have Mayberry in a perpetual state of perfect weather, which exits March the second on the dot. Martha Humphreys, who's trying to get the Broadway musical out of her mix of TV shows Huntsville, AL ___ WBMUTBB

Say it isn't so!

I was watching Opie and the Spoiled Kid and noticed a blooper. I searched the digest and couldn't find any mention of it. Opie was talking with Andy about getting more allowance. At one point, Opie stands up and leans against the railing at the desk. All these shots of Opie are reverse images

inflation

How many of you can remember when haircuts went up to fifty-cents? They jumped by a whole quarter and it was a big deal. They also doubled in price, and that's still a big deal. Martha Humphreys, the financial wizard Huntsville, Alabama

fisherman

Was Barney an avid fisherman? He didn't seem to do it as much as the others. Could Barney stay still long enough to fish? My sense of him is that he'd get antsy, startfidgeting and scare away the fish. Martha, the totally serene if she fishes Huntsville, AL

looks of offstage characters

I'll agree with Don Knotts on Juanita--although I've always seen her as thin. You do a lot of walking as a waitress. Sarah is elderly, tends to plump--and always smells like the chocolate chip cookies she has just baked for her grandchildren. Martha, who loves to manufacture people

Real? Not real?

Been mulling the following: However, looking at the facades of Mayberry kinda makes me sad because it reminds me that Mayberry is not a real place. I kinda think the internet has been redefining real to me. I don't think of the virtual friends I've made on the net as not real. I can't see or

furbelows

In all my borned days I still have never encountered this word outside of that one TAGS episode. Haven't done any formal study, but my thinking is that basically Elizabethan words and phrasings show up in Mayberry--as well as in other parts of NC and on the eastern shore of VA. Martha, the
