Just 4 more months til our 15th anniversary here. We should honor ourselves with special T-shirts. I wonder how many groups like ours have lasted that long? -Bob Great idea, Bob! I still have the T-shirt that Allan made available shortly after I joined WBMUTBB? (the one with Barney's face

Opie's motive/Andy's pride

2006-07-19 Thread Janet Anderson
Well. I just discussed Opie's job situation with my darling person and he had a different slant on it. He thinks the writers were working on the issue of Andy being too puffed up about his boy. He called it Andy's Pride! Hmmm...Hadn't thought about it from that angle, Danna, but I think

Opie's job episode

2006-07-17 Thread Janet Anderson
That one was a good episode. Andy learned just how good a job he and Aunt Bee had done raising Opie when Opie gave his job up so that the underprivileged boy (no, his name wasn't Horatio) could earn money to help his family. You know, when I was watching that show myself, I thought, Now, why

Mayberry Retirement Community

2006-07-14 Thread Janet Anderson
After all, Dave and Marsha built the Taylor Home Inn? Why not a Mayberry Retirement Community? Though I am far from retirement age, I think this is a great idea! Just so long as it's built near *my* home town! Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB

Green River Ordinance

2006-07-14 Thread Janet Anderson
At 43, I don't follow the music scene like I once did, but I did notice in today's paper that there's a band from Fort Worth called Green River Ordinance. No word on where they got that name. This reminded me of a newsletter I was reading this morning from an evangelist we know. He was

Andy's story

2006-07-11 Thread Janet Anderson
I said all that to ask this: Why do you think Andy absolutely refused to finish his story if no one knew Al Becker? I think you hit the nail on the head, Lydia, when you later said that it was probably some plot device. You will recall that the atmosphere was rather strained with a reluctant

Greater appreciation for Flora

I finally finished my Season 6 set of TAGS the other day. I tried to watch only a couple shows at a time in order to make it last longer! I enjoyed watching Goober's Replacement, since I could not remember the last time I had watched it (no TV Land at our house). This episode has given me a

Question about Thelma Lou Opie

2006-06-23 Thread Janet Anderson
Which episode had Thelma Lou making homemade peach ice cream and brownies for Opie? I would like the actual title of it. It's prayin' on my mind. Bee, I think that was episode 91, The Rivals. That was when Thelma Lou was treating Opie special because the little girl he liked didn't seem to

...a second CBS attorney, Mallory Levitt explained to Hellebrand and The Mount Airy News that while Paramount/CBS owned the rights to the character of Barney Fife, the group didin't have the authority to give permission for a likeness of Don Knotts. That right belongs to the Knotts estate,

Hollywood stories

I'm still in the midst of watching my Season 6 set of TAGS DVDS. It had been a long time since I had seen any of the episodes where the Taylors go to Hollywood, so I really enjoyed seeing those again. During the episode when they arrive in Hollywood, there is a scene where they stop in front
