Bob: You're very welcome! It's such a warm, heartfelt show, and the addition of Howard McNear made it moreso! That's very true! One would indeed expect Howard to produce a bottle from the desk at any moment. Now, if Floyd had been peddling girdles...as Andy would say, Lok out! Over

Sgt Carter in Mayberry

The most interesting thing...or rather, the most *curious* thing happened the other night, while watching Gomer Pyle. Sgt Carter went back to Wichita, KS, to visit his Mother and to spend a day away from Gomer (I'm Always Chasing Gomers). It seems that his Mother was living in the Taylors'

Spelling

In case the Count might be listening, yes it does sound as if Barney says Countess von Telecky, but the correct name is Count Istvan Telecky (or maybe Telecki.) In certain Eastern European languages, Istvan is a form of the name Steven/Stephen. It's like how John, Juan, Ian, Sean, Ivan,

TV Island and Herbert Hoover

Linda, I totally agree - thanks for your words on TV(Is)land :) I had words with Floyd this morning, and he's changed his mind (again) and now states that Herbert Hoover (instead of Calvin Coolidge) was dead set against that Cleveland show. Seems it made his hair turn orange. Also, Floyd

Shoot David, are those the same 'hep cats' wearin' them fancy threads that came into town one time? Over and Under, Clyde Barn Shoot Clyde, there was no need for Floyd to waste all that money on a mail order course in clipping nails. Floyd could have just caught some cats and practiced

That's a great point, Untrained Voice! I've many memories of being hunkered (or 'scrunched' as Andy would say) down in a cellar, waiting for the tornado to pass. My prayers for all who have been going through this horrible event. I agree about the A/C and how going indoors can tend to

RE: Turn UP the AC

Hello Fellow Mayberrians, I appreciate the AC posts. I think you hit it on the head, Mike. I, too, think that Andy was probably referring to the *intensity* of the AC, rather than the temperature. If I said we need more AC, that might also be expressed as turn the AC up as in *increasing*

Thanks Ron (the two-star**Barn)! Also, 'turning up' the radio volume is also turning down the resistance, although we usually say 'turn it up.' Electronil marvels! I wonder if there's a term for those opposites you very rightly pointed out? little big and pretty ugly seem perfectly natural

Hi Gang! I think my favorite songs in Mayberry are: 1. Mayberry Union High (when sung by Andy and Barney) 2. The Manhunt (especially when played as background music to Barney 'going over the top.') 3. Oh When the Saints Go Marching In (conducted by Earl and played by the orchestra in the Fun

Debbie, Yes, I've noticed that window! It sure does seem to meander about town quite a bit. Did it appear in Barney and the Choir? Another thing that seemed to appear quite a bit was interior curtains that separated rooms. That was more of the style back then, but it seems that Thelma
