Jim Nabors photo

The link I tried to post yesterday with a picture of Jim Nabors from the early 1970's didn't display right...I'm trying again.  Also I think I got the color of Gome's tie wrong.  I believe it was a purple tie with acorns, not a yellow tie... Here's the link to Jim's photo again...

Alumni Sighting

Here is a bit of an unusual alumni siting...I live in Lincoln, home of the University Nebraska.  I just ran across an archive photo with Jim Nabors and former Nebraska football Coach Bob Devaney.  Devaney coached from 1962-71, so I'm assuming the photo was during that period, and likely the

Hometown

In one of the color episodes, Goober asked Andy if he wanted to go to the tractor show in Jasper.  George Lindsay grew up in Jasper, AL (which would have been a long drive from Mayberry, NC). Keith in Nebraska (a really long drive from Mayberry NC)

Re: Is Mayor Stoner really German?

Yesterday's post about Mayor Stoner playing a Nazi in a WW II picture reminded me that I saw him at least once, maybe twice, as a German officer in Hogan's Hero's.  I guess that's the actor of the man. Mayor Stoner:  That is the most disgusting band I have ever heard! Keith in Nebraska

Rusty Stevens

I took a quick look at the video for One Punch Opie, and while there is a character in that scene that resembles Rusty Stevens/Larry Mondello, I don't see how it can be Rusty.  Rusty was born in 1948, making him 6 years older than Ron Howard.  He would have been 14 at the time of One Punch

Skol Mayberry

Skol seems entirely out of place in Mayberry, as I just don't picture there being a lot of scandanavians in the south.  I know, I know, men are orbiting the moon, so it's possible some of them have moved to Mayberry...maybe Otis is a Viking by birth.  By the way, a little off topic for

Green Paint

Just a quick comment on the green paint...maybe this has already been said...I haven't had much time lately to read the Digest in detail, but my recollection is that the green walls appeared with the first color episode in season 6.  If so, I'm guessing that the walls were painted that way to

Mrs. Grayson

Here's my take on how Mrs. Grayson found Floyd...once Floyd hatched his plan and Andy agreed, he sent a telegram to Mrs. Grayson, giving her the address of the house he would be at (and maybe turn-by-turn directions to get there). I don't recall if Mrs. Grayson's letter said what time she would

The Tailor Shop

The story from Rance Howard in the e-Bullet about how Andy ended up with Taylor as his last name, after first being called Andy Hopper in rehearsals for the pilot got me to thinking.  They ended up not using Hopper and missing out on a joke in that episode but some six years later, the writers

Me-TV Network

There has been some confusion over whether Me-TV or other national networks can show TAGS.  Me-TV is a national network, just like TVLand.  TVLand currently has the exclusive national network rights to TAGS, so Me-TV, RTV, My-TV or other national networks have no chance to pick up the series

Mayberry Fire Department

I assume that Judd/Burt was in charge of the Mayberry Fire Department.  After all, he had experience running a fire house (going by his nickname Gus) in Mayfield.  Don't forget that they had boil dinners down to the fire house every once in a while.   Keith in Nebraska   I wish he'd have hit me

Washington Behind Closed Doors

I remember this mini-series.  It is based on a novel, The Company, written by John Ehrlichman, and loosely based on the Nixon administration with a Watergate-like scandal.  Andy plays the former President Esker Scott Anderson (think LBJ).  Jason Robards is very good as President Richard

2005 Calendar

Re the 2005 calendar, I'm a little confused...a couple of good folks said you could use it for the first 59 days of 2012.  Seems to me it's off (Luther, it was off) right from the start, since January 1, 2005 was a Saturday, not a Sunday.  We did, in fact, use our 2005 TAGS calendar throughout

Floyd's Glasses

I don't have any insight on the change in Floyd's glasses, but I always thought that the glasses contributed to the fact that Floyd looked much older when he returned from his stroke (obviously his health also affected that older appearance).  I think the glasses really fit Floyd's

Haircuts

Since I'm headed for a haircut right after work today, I was reminded of the Taylor's visit to Hollywood in Season 6. It always seemed to me that both of the episodes while they were in Hollywood.Opie's looked like he had just gotten a haircut before they left Mayberry. Has anybody else

There's been a lot of talk about the size of shows (as in number of cast appearing), but I want to raise another comment on the size of shows--or more precisely, the length.  I will have to admit that I hardly ever watch TAGS on TVLand because (A) They play too many commercials, (2) They play

Re: Goober's Ripped Suit at the Auto Show

Ted, I believe they had Goober rip his suit so that he would end up borrowing Andy's suit that was more traditional and was more likely to make him seem like an executive to his old trade-school buddy than his brown pinstripe suit with the too-short pants. Keith in Nebraska Goober:  Order

Biggest Guest Star on TAGS

As for the biggest/most famous guest star appearing on TAGS at the time the episode aired, I would probably vote for either Buddy Ebsen or Bill Bixby, although both appeared on TAGS just prior to becoming more famous with their own starring roles in television. Interesting to note that TAGS

Opie's Brother on The Waltons

Seeing the reference to The Waltons the other day, I remembered that I always thought Jason Walton (played by Jon Walmsley) was a dead ringer for Ron Howard's brother--at least that's what I thought when I saw the show back in the 1970's.  I thought of Jason as being Opie's older brother, but

Mr. Schwamp's Pocket

My take on Mr. Schwamp's pocket is a fountain pen and his reading glasses. If you recall the episode in season #6 where they purchased a new organ for the church, Mr. Schwamp is sitting in the front row right behind the organ and he is wearing his reading glasses whilst singing a hymn. I've

The essence of a character in a single quote

While watching the episode Howard Millie (season 8) last night, Howard has a line that, to me, summarizes the essence of his character. As Andy re-enters the train compartment, Howard has just taken off his shoes. He says to Andy, Without the proper amount of tension, you might as well not

Mr. Schwamp was a Yankee before moving to Mayberry

I'm almost certain Mr. Schwamp (or maybe his Pa) is in the 1945 Christmas in Connecticut movie with Barbara Stanwyck. That would have been roughly 20 years prior to most of his TAGS appearances, but if it is Mr. Schwamp, he doesn't look 20 years younger. I have a feeling Mr. Schwamp looked
