Otis sober

Was it the episode where the women kind of go on strike and Mrs Campbell wouldn't iron Otis' clothes, causing him to burn his shirt? Kim - Wylie ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Dancing with the Stars

The other night I was watching the Results show for Dancing with the Stars. One celebrity and her dancing partner have been rumored to be dating. They had a rough round the night before and were very sad. Also they wouldn't confirm or deny they were an item. Then on the Results show they found

Mayberry Mothers

Ben's post about mothers represented in Mayberry made me think of two of my favorite mother references. The first one being Fluffy who, despite being in full view of her kittens, climbed out on to the roof. I love how Andy says, you know how you feel seeing your mother on the roof. Then there

howdy

I'm happy to report the WBMUTBB digest pulled into Wylie, TX today dragging a wagon load of peanut butter sandwiches with it! Thanks for the restorative efforts. Kim ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry beach movies

In many of the beach party movies one of the chicks in vonErick's gang is Goober's waitress girlfriend Flora. She was blonder, but no mistaking her. Kim - Wylie ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Andrew

Besides Mrs Sprague and Mayor Stoner the only other place I can remember is seeing the name Andrew Jackson Taylor in the yearbook when Barney was moving his trunk. I think somehow Andy just fits the character better though. Kim - Wylie ___ WBMUTBB

cats

Johnna, I think Winkin, Blinkin and Nod are great names for your cats. Although a cat was originally blamed for the demise of their mother, it was vindicated so I don't think the original songbirds would mind sharing their names at all. Kim - Wylie, TX

drugstores and diners

This may have been mentioned before, but I just noticed in the episode where Otis was descended from a war hero, Barney and Andy are standing in front of Dave's Coffee Shop. It seems like Mayberry had quite a few establishments. Kim - Wylie, TX ___

smellin'

Ken, I think you cornered the Mayberry smells. The only other one I could think of was Miss Jennifer when she mentioned Andy must have come from the barber shop because she smelled the witch hazel. She had a good head on her shoulders, if she just wasn't so boy-crazy. Kim - Wylie, TX

radio promo

Last night I was listening to radio station KAAM and heard a familiar voice. It was Andy Griffith doing a promo for the morning show. He mentioned little Opie's breakfast wouldn't be complete without listening. If anyone lives around the Dallas area, you might catch it also. I thought it was

cures

Take 11/42 oz gentian root, 1 drachm valerian root, 2 drachms best rhubarb root, 3 drachms bitter orange peel, 11/42 oz cardamom seeds, and 1 drachm cinnamon bark. Bruise all together in a mortar, then steep in 1 11/42 pints boiling water, and cover tightly. Let stand until cold. Then strain,

theres enough Schwamp for everyone

Sometimes just words on a screen mask the smiles, and tongues in cheeks. I have been misinterpreted before, so just FYI I was kidding about who should be the number One Schwamp fan. Whw! I'm so glad you cleared that up. I had already started searching around for Mr. Bentley's card because

Ernest T

I always figured the T stood for Trouble! He's kinda mean ya know. Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

visitin relatives

Ken, I have an idea that might help with your visiting relatives. Just tell them that due to space restraints, they'll have to adventure sleep. If they're unaware of what that entails, then you can explain it's on an ironing board between two chairs. That's bound to make someone think twice

favorite lines

One of my all time favorite lines is uttered by Andy, when Barney gets anxious about Luke Comstock coming to town and Andy is called out to get Fluffy off the roof. Andy says, Fluffy's got kittens, and you know how you'd feel seeing your mother on the roof. My favorite line by Barney is Boooy,

favorite once seen characters

Like Col. Tim, there are so many one time characters that are so great they make a major impression. Two of my favorites are Clarence Earp and his manager. I know I've mentioned before that the line Besmerch the name of Earp is one of my favorites because somehow when you speak these words

great lines

Harriet those were great lines! I'd add Citizens Arrest, Citizens Arrest and several from another great one time character The Pawnee, I lived among them - they're devils and What time do the Indians eat? Oh, most any time - 6:30 - quarter to seven. Kim - Wylie, TX

Barney as Deputy

Ken, you raise some interesting points about Barney as a Deputy. My theory is that Andy knew Barney well and what he could eventually become. It just took 15 or 20 years for Barn to become it (I'm not considering the Return to Mayberry movie). In my mind, Barney caught on and became a

serious lines and scenes

Some of my favorite serious lines are: 1st episode when Aunt Bee is leaving and talks about how she wished she could do all the things Opie likes, while her and Andy are looking in at him sleeping. When after Andy sends Opie and Aunt Bee away while he waits for Luke Comstock, the tension is very

Good questions Peggy

1. Goober and Flora ever got married? In my mind they did and enjoyed spending time with Gomer and Lou Ann. 2. When Andy and Helen moved back to Mayberry, they were able to buy the Williams house? The white one with all the big trees? If I remember correctly, Opie was living in the house he grew

Mayberry moment

On my way into work, I saw one of those little hybrid cars. It was red and looked kinda like a space pod. Then I noticed the license plate said Shazaam and I realized if Gomer were to have got a look at that car, that's exactly what he'd have said. Kim - Wylie, TX

girlfriends

What more could he want? Well, interest in a prune pitting operation would be nice. He'd have to take a look at that. Then there's the option of a skinny widow, who owns a bread truck. Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

running around

Do you know if you run with your mouth open, it's impossilble to pronounce a word that starts with S? I hope nobody see's you running around town like that! Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com

Aunt Bee's beaus midnight

There was the handsome Senator who enjoyed Aunt Bee's company for a while. Also the Minister who forgave Aunt Bee for wearing a wig. That's a good question about Mayberry After Midnight. I guess that newspaper column was ahead of it's time too. Kim - Wylie, TX

questions

Peggy, I like those questions about Mayberry characters. They really make ya think, and without even having to resort to buckets! Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

after midnight

Other possible late night Mayberry activites might be: Aunt Bee getting up to give Opie some medicine; Fluffy the cat sneaking out onto the roof; Mr Schwump nodding off while watching the late, late show; Andelina crying for a bottle; a possum crawling out from under a rock; Gilley speeding down

historian

Untrained voice said about Tom's memories, I know I'd like to know more about them, and I look forward to him sharing more. I second that because I wish I could have had the opportunity to speak with these people. Character actors like these are so great because they become so familiar, I almost

investments

Ken, I think you're wise to diversify in your investments. I've been approached by a fellow who owns the original Robert E Lee Natural Bridge. He's willing to let us all in on this venture and we can even pick the branch we like best. He says if he's able to sell this bridge, there's another

Jud and Sally

I don't want to make a moulage by mentioning this station, but back when TV Land was good I remember seeing a musical tribute to two different character actors who had appeared on TAGS. One was for Burt Mustin and showed him in his roles on Leave it to Beaver, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Monkees and

that makes me cry

Since I don't have Internet access over the weekend, one of my favorite Monday morning activities is having some coffee and looking at what I missed Saturday and Sunday. Reading what Joe wrote about songs, and the people who were drawn into singing along, was just beautiful. Those are some of

Aunt Bee

Please feel free to share any of your Aunt Bee chit-chat stories here. I notice Aunt Bee wore lots of clothing in blue during the show, so I thought it might be her favorite color. Her dress maker might have confirmed this. Kim - Wylie, TX (I personally like green)

romance

My favorite romantic moment is when Gomer brings Mary Grace the cor-sage, it twangs my heartstrings every time. I also like it when at the dance Barney hollers out to Thelma Lou, you're the only girl I ever loved. And in the first Darling episode when Charlene tells Dud, you're the sweetest

dessert

The other night I made some brownies and we also happened to have some peach ice cream. So I put a scoop on top of a warm brownie and sat down to indulge. I told my husband I was having a Thelma Lou Special as that's what she made for Opie. If you've never tried one, I can personally recommend

noisy Mayberry

Other noisy times where when Andy got the neighborhood dogs to barking, and Ernest T hefted rocks through windows. Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry activities

All the Mayberry activities people have written about sound like such fun. I'd add going to that boiled dinner at the fire house, I always wondered what exactly was being boiled - taters, cabbage, MEAT? Also helping Andy try to coax Fluffy down from the roof. For some reason those things have

Natural Mayberrians

Sylvia asked about Goober and Howard growing up in Mayberry. I believe they did, or at least got there as youngsters. Andy mentioned Howard being shy in High School. Also Goober age 5 was present at the first Punch in the Nose Case, reading a comic book waiting for a haircut. Kim from Wylie

# 1

Mike as a grown woman I feel compelled to answer your # 1 question 01) Just what can you do with a grown woman? First you pick her up in your car (very important that it's clean). Take her to the various shops and bazaars of Mayberry (carry the packages). Then out to lunch (don't let the waitress

wedding vows

Untrained Voice your wedding vows were delightful! I think having There is a time would be a great song for a wedding. Not to mention reading rose poetry, and telling the bride that she's the cats. Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

drama

My favorite dramatic moment is in the Mr. McBeevee episode when Opie says, Don't you believe me Pa? There's enough of a pause where you know Andy is thinking it over, and realizing he does believe in Opie. Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list

Ernest T

Dawn, so far Ernest T the cat hasn't thrown rocks through our window but he did get into a fight with another cat. I heard a rumor that the other cat was an Englishter! Kim - Wylie, TX ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com
