Ghost and Mr. Chicken
I have a note in my computer that says The Ghost and Mr. Chicken will be on TCM Mov. 16th at 8 pm. I put that in there months ago, so will just have to check on that nite to see if it's right. Also, when Cousin Virgil dumps the roast in Andy's lap, I always wonder why the writers didn't have a big stain on Andy's pants and shirt when they are saying goodnight to Virgil and Barney. It just seems like they overlooked that. Did Andy go upstairs and change his clothes during dinner? "Virgil, can't you do anything right?" Brenda J.

movie
I happened to come across an old movie on TCM on Sun. evening. It had, among others, Henry Fonda, Natalie Wood, Tony Curtis, Lauren Bacall and they were all driving cars down an interstate. Then, in one old car was our Emma Watson (wasn't her name Cheerio Meredith?) and Bert Mustin-Judd or Bert on TAGS. I looked in the TV section but could not find what the name of this movie is. Does anybody know what I am referring to? Bee in New Concord, OH Brenda J. Higgins ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Cousin Virgil
I did not realize that "Cousin Virgil" was in "Bonnie and Clyde". Just saw some of that movie over the weekend on TCM. Bee In New Concord, OH ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Denver Pyle
If Denver Pyle's home state is Colorado, was Denver his real name, or stage name? "Is he one of us?" Just so's I know where I stand." Brenda J. Higgins Bee in New Concord, OH ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Lawyer in bathing suit
While I am not as fond of the color shows, I do like some. Howard the Comedian, Dinner at Eight. But, someone mentioned the lawyer in the bathing suit show and not liking it. I don't mind watching it because of the terrible sunburn that Andy got and then he has to explain it to everyone. Including Helen. Helen is always so jealous of every woman that Andy talks to. It just strikes me funny when Andy has such a red face from sitting in the sun. Bee in New Concord, OH ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
trivia contest
I would still like to know if anyone has or remembers some of the trivia questions at this yrs. trivia contest. When we went to Mayberry Days back in '04 (my one and only time) we loved the trivia contest. And, I remember the one hard question that for some reason I knew. Which was - What is the number on Clara's jar of pickles at the best pickle contest? Anybody know without looking? "This year I went wild with allspice." Brenda J.

Trivia questions
I would like to know what the trivia contest questions were this year. Can anyone find out? I don't have time for trivial trivialities but still would like to know. Thanks, Brenda J. Higgins Bee in New Concord, OH ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Sign of Mayberry
We were on our way to church yesterday and passed the grocery store. They have a changeable sign out front the says "ROTIS CHICKEN" (short for rotisserie). I had to laugh because the R fell off and the sign said "OTIS CHICKEN". Would that be a pickled chicken? "I before E except after C and E before N as in chicken." (I always forget that rule.)

canning jars
I stopped in the hardware store this morning and they had a big stack of canning jars. I immediately thought of Andy buying canning jars for Aunt Bee instead of the bed jacket. Did not see any with scratched lids at a discount. Bee in New Concord, OH ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Andy in real life.
I also have heard that Andy himself can be rather hard to get along with in real life. Kind of a curmudgeon. But, maybe that is what makes him a good actor. After all, it is his business. Maybe he has to make business decisions and has that kind of reputation. I have always heard that he and Francis (Aunt Bee) did not hit it off very well. But, on screen, they played their parts so well. That's Hollywood. And also, after reading Don Knott's book (several times now), I realize that most actors fret about where their next job is. Don was constantly worried that he would never work again. What is an endearing character to us, is a job to an actor. It must be a stressful life. "Don't that just clutch ya?"

Trained noticing
I noticed in our local paper the other day a list of bands playing at a local place. One of the bands was called "Atta Boy, Luther".Sounds like a tribute to Don Knotts to me.

John Masters
I love the way John Masters makes a big moulage out of everything. He worries and fusses over every detail. But, he always has ANDY do all the dirty work for him. Andy always has to smooth everything out while Mr. Masters scolds him. When Aunt Bee was playing Lady Mayberry, John wanted Andy to tell her she was not good for the part. And, he wanted Andy to tell Barney that he couldn't sing. "You've got a uvula, I got a uvula, they got a uvula, all God's children got a uvula." Bee In New Concord, OH Brenda J.

Laundry service
After watching "Aunt Bee The Warden" again last nite I got to thinking. What would Aunt Bee need a laundry service for? Was that common back then? Nobody ever does my laundry for me. Just wondering.

Quiet Sam
There are cars parked in the background when everyone gathers around at the end of the show. One of them is a Comet. Maybe Barney borrowed Sara's car in an emergency. "Don't you remember?

Floyd's first show
What TAGS was Howard McNear's first appearance? I was asked that this morning and could not come up with it. I know that Convicts at Large was the last appearance before his stroke. And, I know his last show, which is the color episode when Floyd wins the gas station prize. I have not had a chance to look at my DVD's to find the show. Anyone know? And, which number episode is it? "It's hot. Know what temperature it is? It's 92. It's hot." Bee in New Concord, OH Brenda J.

Goober takes a car apart
What is the possibility of taking a car apart and getting it in a building? I am thinking that would be quite a job. And then, taking it all apart again. Just how long would that take a person?

Car in Courthouse
What point was the Sheriff making? It has to be "speed, speed, speed". We need to "slow down, take it easy." By the way, nice article Ken, in the link to AARP. Bee in New Concord, OH Brenda J. Higgins ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Businesses
Did anyone mention the Palmerton Cafe (I think that is the spelling)? I remember seeing it in the background. And thanks to Harriet Browder for the TAGS quotes. I did not see one of my favorites-"Well, if it ain't daddy longlegs!". It might be on the list, but I have not seen it yet. Or this one-"It's Helen Crump! C-R-U-M-P!" Love that one, too.

underwear wearers
I can think of that one show where the men were trying to get back at the ladies and took their dept. store credit away from them. The one lady is in her slip when she storms out the door. I think Opie has his blue jeans on when Aunt Bee called him a "naked savage" because he didn't have a shirt on, so that does not count. "Opie, you get up to your room and put a shirt on." But, Aunt Bee, I'm hot." Bee in New Concord, OH Brenda J. Higgins ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry Days
We are thinking about going to Mayberry Days this year. We were there in '04 when Andy Griffith spoke. It was so much fun and I would like to go back. Can anyone tell me about Karen Knott's show? I was wondering about getting tickets. What is it like? And, is the trivia contest always on Friday? I loved that. Last time we were there, Betty Lynn, James Best, George Spence, Maggie (Charlene) and the Dilliards all came in to eat at the same place we were eating. What a thrill that was! "Hi, Gloria."
