Just Plain Guzzlin'?

I seem to remember the drinking of champagne during?the celebration in the mayor's office when it was determined that Otis Campbell was the rightful descendant of Nathan Tibbs. Wasn't Mayberry a dry county still? Could it have been sparkling cider? Or some homemade brew from the Morrison

RE: Vices

...Does anyone else remember another time that Andy partook of adult beverages? I can't think of a single time. Don Good (Excuse me while I go celebrate National Still Smashing Day. *g*) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Mt. Airy

According to weather.com, in addition to North Carolina and Maryland having a Mt. Airy in their states, so do Georgia and Louisiana. Maybe a trained noticer out there somewhere knows of others. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Andy Inbibing

David, the only other time I remember Andy showing an inclination for spirits was in the Morrison sisters episode.  As Barney was smashing their still with the axe (pow, pow, pow), the spray was shooting towards Andy's face and he opened his  mouth pretty wide several times and semed to be

Mount Airy, NJ

there is also a Mt. Airy,Maryland.Does anyone know of other states that  can lay claim to having a Mt. Airy?   I've driven thru Mount Airy, New Jersey, not far from Trenton. It was more of a crossroads than a town, but when I was in the area and saw the sign, I had to go.   Jeff

Bread Butter

Hello Mayberry friends! In answer to the question about the saying Bread Butter I think it originated as a superstition. When walking with a friend or loved one, if you are temporarily separated by something, usually a pole or a person, and are forced to allow that object or person to come

camera angles, etc.

I'm with Brenda concerning how effective and innovative the camera angles were on TAGS-one of my favorites appears on the episode Those Gossiping Men when the townsfolk make their pigrimage up to Wibur Finch's hotel room to buy shoes in the mistaken belief he is a secret talent scout from

ANDY ON TV LAND

Here is a fun game to play the next time you watch an episode of Andy on TV Land. Try to pick out the scene that TV Land has cut out. They used to make it simple and just cut out the epilogue, but lately they have taken the scissors to the middle of the show. I was watching The New Mayor

vices

Mr Hendricks, I believe Andy did partake a little on National Still Bustin' Day when Andy and Barney are at the Morriston Sister's and Barney takes that Great big axe and goes pow, pow, pow!! And also when Otis is named a hero for being kin to ole Nathan Tibbs, I think they all had a little

Height

Well, I don't know about all the tall people on the show, but I've got to believe the shortest adult had to be Emma Watson, and, of course, the shortest on the set would have been Leon. No thanks, Leon. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

a word about the Opie's Mom story/theory

Thanks Jennifer for that fine endorsement. I will mention, in case folks don't like to read stories that are just touching, there is a fair amount of Comedy in the story as well. OK I'll stop puffing like Barney now. WOW I just read The Favorite Story Never Told and I just have to say that

WBMUTBB Message about What happened to Opies Mom?

I read the script and enjoyed it very much.  It truly was in the spirit of the show.  I loved the story about Opie's name.  I am working on a reunion story with my chapter and we sort of aggreed that Opie was from Hope, since Opie's Mom would have been full of Hope for her child before leaving

Sheldon Leonard

For all prolific fans of TAGS, I would recommend purchasing 'Gomer Pyle USMC' Season 5 on DVD, just recently released. (You know where to buy it! - Whose store is being robbed?) I like it for the sole reason of having Sheldon Leonard appear, playing a director in 'A Star is Not Born'

Floating with Barney and Goober

Barney: He's making his move now. Oh, that's smooth. That's real smooth. Notice how he don't call attention to his arm? Just floats it out there. And there's your automatic reflex. Goober: That sure is something. Just floats it out there! -- an absolute classic laugh riot of a scene with

The tail on my Posting

Dang it! I hate it when that happens. If it happens again I'm going to go off into the woods with Ernest T. Bass and hermitize myself. Find a rock and crawl under it. Don't know why Hotmail included the entire Digest. I always delete, delete, delete. You know, you try, and try, and try. And
