Bad language
I agree with you Teresa about the bad language in the commercials for these kinds of disgusting shows. Seems the commercials are the loudest. Think this is a hint for tv land to want us to quit watching tags? I just hit the mute button when they come on.

Floyd and Russell
Hey, Mayberry friends. With all the talk about Floyd and his kin, I have to say Happy Birthday to Mount Airy, NC's own Floyd, Mr. Russell Hiatt, at Floyd's City Barber Shop. He has been greeting Mayberry fans for many years. I understand it's gonna' be a Big birthday party for him today (Tuesday). Happy 90th birthday, Russell.

piano and alumni sighting
Did Helen's niece, that cute little girl who kept outdoing Opie on everything, play their piano? I don't remember.Meanwhile, when flipping thru the channels recently I came upon an episode of Star Trek in which the city scene reminded me somewhat of Mayberry so I lingered and who should appear but our own Arnold, pal to Opie, who was assisting Capt Kirk in some scheme. Then in an episode of the Partridge Family, there was our Henry Bennett; his hair was white by then but I recognized his sweet face almost immediately.

I Got It
Don't worry folks, it ain't a disease. I got the final piano player. It was none other than Alice Harper, Andy's old girlfriend. And why they call her Andy's old girlfriend is beyond me. She certainly is not old. And she is definitely not a boy. -21 again this morning. I think it took me so long to come up with the answer because my brain cell is frozen. That's right, brain cell. I only got one. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Floyd's wife.
I think Floyd should have married Miz Bishop. Then he coulda sung Hail to Thee, Miss Mayberry at the wedding. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Star Trek
Aunt Bee, the episode of Star Trek that featured young Sheldon Golomb (aka Sheldon Collins) was called A Piece of the Action. It's a really fun episode, second only to The Trouble with Tribbles in the laughs department. It wasn't filmed at 40 Acres, however a few other Star Trek episodes were, including The City on the Edge of Forever, Miri (featuring Michael J. Cousin Virgil Pollard), and Return of the Archons. Miri, especially, features the downtown area, and includes a great high-angle shot of the street when Kirk and crew beam down, a view never used on TAGS, as they were always careful not to show tall buildings which would ruin the small-town feel. It's fun to look for Mayberry on other TV shows from that era. It was recently announced that Batman, which also used the same back lot, is finally coming to DVD; I can't wait to get my hands on that one. BIFF! BAMM! POW!

Bad Language and Then Some
Yes, those doggone commercials can make watching TVLand a trial sometimes. Last week I decided to view two of their much hyped shows, Kirstie and The Exes. Can one wash one's eyes and ears with soap? From there, I happened upon a great old show, The Real McCoys, on Cozi TV, and my goodness how times have changed in what we're offered from Hollywood. Give me TAGS, The Real McCoys, Gilligan's Island, Leave it to Beaver, and all those grand old shows where cleverness and wit resided wonderfully well with morality.
