aarp article
Hi to everyone - hope everyone's having a great summer. Didn't notice that this has been mentioned by anyone so I thought I would. There's an article in this months aarp magazine (publication for retirees) about TAGS 50th. anniversary. The article is also on their site - arrp.org/andy with a little more said than the magazine - and all said very nicely too. There were some facts mentioned that I didn't know - as well as a quiz. By the way, if you go to the site you have to type in Andy's name in the search box as it's not mentioned otherwise (strange!!). Hope everyone gets to check it out. There's a fancy anniversary shirt I found in one of my catalogs I'm forever getting in the mail but forgot the name. I'll check back on that one. Best to all.

Bugged
Hey to all..hope everyone had a good holiday. I was watching a show the other day when I was annoyed by a bug that just wouldn't go home. As I was trying to sh him away the thought came to me that I've never seen a bug in Mayberry. I remember someone writing in that they've never seen a cat there either. There's not much a bug can do for the show but it's an interesting concept that makes Mayberry even more perfect. Has anyone ever seen a bugged show written into the theme like sittn' on the porch catching fireflies?

'Wholesome' TVLand!
First - hope everyone is having a great Mayberry 4th. I can just see the Mayberry band marching down Main St. while sadly out of tune and Barney yelling to everyone to step back. What I'd give to be there! Just wanted to say I'm, in a way, happy to see I'm not the only one seeing less and less wloesomeness in T.V. Land. I've envisioned such shows as Life of Riley, Father Knows Best or Make Room for Daddy. I've now resorted to purchasing these, and others, rather than wait for T.V.Land to air such programs. As a matter of fact, I hardly watch the station anymore. But TAGS is my 'reality' and so I stay true to it, no matter where it can be found.

Aunt Bea before TAGS
Hi to all, Hope everyone had a great Mayberry Xmas and many more to come. About a month or so ago I asked everyone if anyone had information on Andy in a Lucy Show segment and due to a great response I was able to locate the exact episode. As I was ordering the segment from an oldies catalog I noticed tapes of the old Eve Arden Show from the 50's. It listed the regulars and one of them was Francis Bov (can't even begin to spell it right). Does anyone know if this is our Aunt Bea (not even sure if that's spelled right!!). Thanks for any help there might be. My best to all. Barb ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Lucy
Hey to everyone - It's been a while since I've made any written contribution here but there's something layn' on my mind. I was watching a segment of Pioneers of T.V. last night and there was a segment on 'I Love Lucy' and in it Andy was talking about how he had worked with her on the show. I was wondering if anybody knows which episode Andy appeared in on 'I Love Lucy'. I'd love to see it. Thanks for any information. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Andy's smoking
There was a question about how many times Andy lit up a cigarette and I couldn't say but there is something I noticed when Andy lit up - there was never any more than 2 puffs taken when the cigarette was put out. Guess he didn't have to worry too much about the hazards of smoking. Best to you and yours, Barb Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Flashbacks
In reference to the message of today about day ja vue (or flashback - it's easier to spell) I have them all the time. My flashbacks aren't repeated scenes from different TAGS episodes but everyday things I do. This is such as tossing a tomatoe to my son and having a flashback of Barney tossing one to Otis or finding a small cave and having a flashback to the cave rescue of Barney's.

Tipping hat
I just noticed the other day that every time Barney wears his deputy hat he tips it to the right. It must have been the style then. Barb - Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TV Guides Best Episodes
I noticed the comment about the 'Opie the Birdman' eposide and have to say I love it too. Just wanted to add, so we can pop our Mayberry pride buttons, that about 3 years ago T.V.Guide had a special - T.V.G's Top 50 Episodes in t.v. History and 'Birdman' came in #16. They also had a show on about top t.v. personalities and Barney was #9. Also, a while back someone had a show about the best shows on t.v. (ever) and our TAGS came in #5 I believe. BTW, when Aunt Bee made a reference to the wire (pppttt) they should use on Barney she was at the kitchen table while Andy put her groceries away. Hope everyone is having a Mayberry Xmas.

Talk'n Dilliards
Hey to everyone and hope it was a great Thanksgiving for all. Just wanted to ask - I recently found the greatest cookbook at the library - Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cooking - and it stated that one of the Dilliard boy's actually spoke to Aunt Bee. I keep looking but I've never seen that happen. Has anyone seen that or know which show that's in? Thanks Barb Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Yahoo Mobile.

Barney's allofactory glands.
In defense of Barney and his inability to smell the 'white lightening' I've tried the stuff once myself. Once and only once. It looks just like water and it had no order like regular alcohol. Like barney I took a few good gulps not having been told of it's potency or even what it was. About 5 or 10 seconds later it hit me like a dirty elephant, just like it did for barney. I haven't had it since (about 20 years ago) and never will. But he should have detected the liqueur in the water cooler. I agree about the way t.v. Land is pulling away from the wholesome shows of the past. There are so many I don't understand why they can't stay with the program, figuratively speaking. And Mayberry wouldn't have a candle light ceremony because those things don't happen in Mayberry (VT massacre). - Ahhh...imagining that irresistible new car smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo!

Thanks.
Hey to everyone, I'd just like to say thanks to everyone for info on finding some TAGS tapes. Like I mentioned I'm new here and didn't realize there's a Weaver's Dept. store. I've been so rushed applying for so many jobs that I've been skimming almost everything else on the computer. I love Weaver's and will be getting my tapes there. Hopefully when things slow down a little I can enjoy the site more - I already enjoy the folks. Thanks again - Barb - Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.

Finding tapes or cd's.
Hey to everyone. I was wondering, being fairly new here, if someone could tell me where I can get some tapes or cd's on TAGS, preferably the black and white episodes. I've been to several stores and web sites but haven't had any luck. I've just moved to Ohio and until I can get my own place (staying with son) I don't have cable and miss Andy and Barney, etc. so much. Any help is apprreciated. Best to you and yours.
