Rebecca Spears/Lydia, you hit the nail squarely on the head with your
assessement of why we all love Mayberry so very much. Here is a kind, gentle
place where we can truly feel at home. Yes, we are, as you so aptly put it,
all Ed Sawyers.

Hello Maberrians,
Opie may have covertly traversed the streets of Mayfield. ;-) Thanks for
the correction. You're right, it was on Dennis the Menace in which Opie did
all that building, much to Mr. Wilson's chagrin.

Hello Mayberrians,
I believe I saw Opie Taylor hobnobbing with the young urchins in Mayfield
at least once. If memory serves, in this particular episode it seems they
were building a bench for the mailman so he could rest his weary feet. The
boards used had been 'borrowed' from good old
Want to find a wonderful show for your kids (and you)? I'd like to

Dry Gulch'. I stumbled upon this creative 'kids' show and enjoyed it
Ken, I commend you for your wonderful presentations and I'm sure you've
touched more than a few hearts along the way. I wonder if you've considered
taking your presentations into nursing homes. I've often thought anyone with

Agreed! I was a teacher for many years and can attest to the fact that
most of the students today come from less than ideal home situations. Earlier
in my career when writing to parents it was customary to address letters
to ' Mr. and Mrs. ...' but that soon changed. I
I commiserate with Aunt Bee in Orlando and agree wholeheartedly with her
comments regarding TVLand. Altho' I watch TVLand at times, I always MUTE the
commercials. In my area it is the only station that shows TAGS. Although
they have some unsavory new shows, they also bring us 'Walker, Texas

MacMichael and on Lassie as Timmy's friend ( in similar fashion to Gus the

Yes, those doggone commercials can make watching TVLand a trial sometimes.

upon a great old show, The Real McCoys, on Cozi TV, and my goodness
Hi Neighbors,
After a brief hiatus from The Andy Griffith Show, I found upon returning a
renewed awe for the quality, genuine and eternal values displayed, and
honest-to-goodness homespun and kindly humor shown to one and all who traverse
the streets of Mayberry. Although there are many
Hi Fellow Mayberrians,
It sure is interesting how often an actress is typecast as 'everybody's
mother'. Our Mrs. Sprague ( Mabel Albertson) was also Mrs. Frank Stevens on
'Bewitched' and Mrs. Hollinger, Don's mother on 'That Girl' as well as a
mother on the New Dick VanDyke Show.
I met Andy, Don and Jim years ago when visiting CA with family, and am
most grateful to been afforded this rare opportunity.

There are few words to express the deep sadness we all feel at the passing
of Andy Griffith. Somehow, it seemed he would live forever, and of course
will in our hearts as the all knowing, kind, gentle Sheriff of Mayberry and
as the cantankerous yet loveable Ben Matlock. He gave us the gift

Dave, I recently discovered I also have Antenna TV here in CT and have
been enjoying immensely the great shows of the 50s and 60s. It's a shame Burns

Jess, I wholeheartedly agree with your views. Part of the problem could be
that many today have a short term memory in that they recall only the most
recent accomplishment(s) rather than the most important one(s). As time

Hi Greg,
Thanks for noting these two wonderful crossover characters. I'd recently
been watching several episodes featuring Lou-Ann Poovie, but hadn't realized
that she was also a member of the TAGS team, but now I do recall how Mr.

First off, let me say you have an amazing memory! I've now purchased all
seasons of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C., watched the first three so far, and feel as

wonderful familiar faces, albeit in different
Right you are, Ken.
It is interesting how no one individual would suffice, and it appears the
ancillary characters were given a bigger piece of the action just to make
up for the hole left with the departure of the one and only Barney Fife.

Hi Fellow Mayberrians,
Recently, I purchased the first season of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. and was
happily amazed to see how many Maryberrians had traveled all the way to Camp
Henderson, CA. I noticed Asa played a 'listening ear' to Gomer's love letter
writing escapades and E.T.B's Romina had
Ken, how about the interior of the garden shed out back where Opie and his

Hello, Fellow Mayberrians,
What's in a name? Would anyone know the origin of some of the more
interesting surnames on TAGS? I harken back to Crumpacker, for instance, as a
decidedly peculiar one. I've read that Andy Griffith often times used names of
personal friends as character names on
Rest in Peace, Jack Elinson. You have made our world a little warmer, a
tad kinder, and brought a cheery smile into our hearts through your gift of
writing. The joy and through-provoking moments you have given to us shall

I think the acronym POC, to which Clyde Barn referred, stands for
'Point/Person of Contact', and Floyd seems to be THE contact source for every

Well, Howard Spague said it best with his 'tag' line,
I'm of the opinion that 98% of the moments Barney and Andy spent together
could be construed as warm and fuzzy. Those moments demonstrated what the
word 'friendship' is all about: being there for the other no matter what,
regardless of how foolish or how inept the friend. One in particular

I couldn't agree more with Aunt Bee in Orlando's comments regarding TVLand's
current fare. When this network started showing less than appetizing
programming, 'Hot in Cleveland' being a prime example, although not limited to
the newer sitcoms created specifically for and most likely to lure

I agree with everyone who is concerned that TVLand will become a much to
modern channel and will begin showing programs of the 70s and 80s at the
expense of those from the 60s. As far as I'm concerned, a better scheduling
decision would be to retain the 60s gems and add those of the 50s to the
Where are you watching reruns of Maverick? I'd love to find a channel other
than TVLand, which is becoming increasingly too modern for me, that runs the
old 50s and 60s shows.
