Post Office References
I am sure this has been discussed before, but has there ever been an episode that showed the inside of the Post Office? I have noticed that there are a lot of episodes that mention the Post Office. Maybe that could be a challenge. List episodes that mention the Post Office. Also, has anyone ever wondered how the mail got delivered? I have seen episodes where Opie brings in a letter to Andy at the courthouse before going off to school, Andy drops off a package for Barney at the courthouse in the evening. I think I remember seeing a post man in the episode with Mr. Wheeler, but I am not sure. Any thoughts? Sandra Gore ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
more spider references
Wow - those were some spider references I hadn't thought of! (Beside the obvious one of Gomer's spider bite) I also remember Barney calling Andy "Mr. Daddy Longlegs" and Aunt Nora telling Andy that he has been a wandering spider for too long and it is time he got entangled in the silken web of matrimony!

Buffalo and other references
> Everett Greenbaum, who co-wrote the episode, was born and raised in Buffalo. I love how they incorporated references from the crew and actors' real lives...Like Frank Myers, who Andy was supposed to evict. There was a Frank Myers, an assistant director on TAGS for that link. And in the last B/W episode with Jerry Van Dyke, I have always loved the location Andy sends him to for the job of school crossing guard. "Jerry, you go down to the corner of Rockford and Haymore" And we all KNOW where that is. . Of course there's the Snappy Lunch, Floyd's Barber Shop, actual businesses in Mt. Airy.

Mayberry references
Yesterday I experienced two Mayberry references in my tv watching. When viewing that old movie Picnic, I heard the crowd at the event singing Juanita in the background. Then later on the Lawrence Welk show, Arthur Duncan tap-danced to the song the town choir sang that included the words Voices Long Hushed (I don't know the title). So it was a nostalgic day all around!! A couple days before that I met a contractor who used to live in Charlotte NC and the company he works for bought polyurethane materials from Mt. Airy; he'd been there many times and professed his admiration for the whole Mayberry concept; it was like having a reunion!

I was attending a local college Homecoming parade yesterday when I had a perfect opportunity to infuse a quote from Barney. The Homecoming parade was very well attended and traffic (pedestrian and vehicular) was quite heavy afterwards. Many of the pedestrians were standing in the street after the parade, so the vehicle traffic could not proceed. I told a person working on the security staff that we just need to tell the people what Barney Fife would tell them..."Okay everybody! Cease and disperse!" We both had a good laugh afterwards.

Who could forget that famous local radio celebrity Leonard Blush! I can think of at least two episodes where he was mentioned.

Also Eleanora Poultice mentioned him as being one of her former students during Barney's voice lesson as being on the third Tuesday of every month. Station YLRB Mount Pilot.

Biblical References
All the discussion about Biblical names in Mayberry brings to mind something else regarding the Bible that the men folk of Mayberry would really frown upon. I also doubt if Reverend Tucker would dare give a sermon about it. The bible very explicitly talks about how the men folk should help out with the cooking. In fact an entire book of the Bible talks about how the husbands and fathers in families should make the coffee. It is the book of Hebrews. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

TAGS, Bible references
If one was to dig deep enough I bet there are Biblical foundations for most of them.Patty Haley Yes, Patty you are right. I am a retired Pastor turned Stand up comedian..Several times I applied mayberry people or happenings to my messages from the Pulpit...The one I Preached the most Our Purpose For Living..comparing Barney Fife to Solomon..Just read the short book of Ecclesiastes and see how how much Solomon wanted to succeed at whatever he did and think of Barney. All the things he tried with so much desire to succeed, being a deputy, his romances, salesman ship, and many areas, just like Solomon kept trying to succeed. Today I watch TAGS and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. and glean ideas for an occasional joke and apply it to some make believe person...TAGS was a very special show...more so than even we can comprehend...There is so much that can be applied even today to any number of situations and I think that has something to do with it's popularity. I don't have a favorite phrase that I use but my favorite line from an actor in TAGS came from Opie. If honesty is such a good policy why am I out a cap pistol...

Additional Chicken References
I forgot to list some more chicken references on TAGS. My favorite was when Barney was talking to Juanita on the phone and he did his little Cock a doodle doo to wish er a good morning. And of course Andy had to ask Barney to stand so he could see if there were any eggs under him. Also when Aunt Bee opened her Chinese restaurant they had chicken on the menu, but they left off one chee on the menu. And of course we can't forget the chicken ala king that tastes like wallpaper paste. And then Quincy called Opie a chicken when he wanted to fight. Goober was given a chicken leg to eat on several occasions when Andy and Helen were going on picnics. There are probably others too but can't think of any right now. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 12, Issue 136, Message 6, moulage about improper references
I'm no lurker of this list, I watch, listen and read and then on those observations, comment when I'm so moved. Three weeks ago the reference to turning air conditioning up/down was posted. I Laughed Internally Loud (LIL) when Paul Mulik mentioned the water heater reference below, something for which I'm annoyed. I know plumbers who squint when customers call to have their hot water heater replaced. My peeve since around the 5th grade is when good folk talk about buying a home. You don't buy a home. If you do, you've been suckered into a realtor's illusion of what a wonderful place you can have, just for the mere buying price of $... Since Paul endured his tragedy last Sunday, not even a week ago, he didn't lose a home, he said he lost a house. He lost a lot of what was in the house, but as he simply and adroitly stated, But that's just STUFF, and stuff in unimportant. I can always get more stuff later. His home is still intact. It's the same kind of spirit we find when we watch our show. Home, faith, love are rich words; you can't describe them simply, as something you just nail together, happen upon or ride like you would Blackie. In Barney, the Realtor, only once was the word home said and that was when Andy welcomed the Sims the second time around. Yet another way in the last 60 years marketing has developed in trying to influence us to part with our money by selling a feeling. If I'm selling, maybe that ain't so bad but Opie said You mean that kids should be honest but grown-ups don't have to be?. Thanks to our show, we're reminded of values we cherish.

Halloween References
HI Gang!!! There is another Halloween reference that I thought of when I first saw the question and I waited to see if anyone mentioned it. It is the BOOKIE BARBER episode when Barney puts on the ladies disguise to go place his bet. When he steps out of the courthouse Opie and a friend walk by and tease him. Opie says whatcha dressed up for Barney, TRICK OR TREAT Oh, another observation for Tom. He mentioned Jenny the telephone operator on the Lassie show being similar to Sarah as not seen. In fact she was seen in many episodes. There was one episode where it was her birthday and nobody seemed to notice so the townsfolk arranged a surprise by all of them calling her at the same time to sing to her and then they went to her house with gifts. That episode was on not long ago on the WHT channel. Often on the show Lassie, Jeff or later Timmy would stop by her house to visit. Another time when his dad needed help and Timmy couldn't get through because of the party line gossips (similar to Maude and Cora), he sent Lassie to Jenny's house with a note.

Re: A couple of Mayberry references
Even though they don't make TV like they used to, I still watch a lot of modern day television. But you can imagine my surprise when I saw Desperate Housewives last night, and Lynette (Felicity Huffman) was trying to convince a skeptical police detective that a guy across the street was up to no good. She eventually got frustrated and called him...you guessed it...Barney Fife. That's definitely one place I never expected to hear a Mayberry reference. (There *is* a Mayfield reference on Wisteria Lane, though: the Cleaver House is in the neighborhood.) Did I mention the Mayberry reference in the movie trailer for the big screen Reno 911: Miami?

Southern References on Andy
There has been a lot of talk on all the things missing from TAGS that wouldn't have been authentic Southern. If you think about the south in the 60's it was not our proudest era. The show never touched on race relations either. I think they wanted the show to appeal to everyone. It was located in North Carolina but they weren't trying to beat that part of the show into the ground. I think Andy Griffith had a much more balanced view of the south in the relation to our northern friends that is missing today. Southerners today seemed to try to hard to make sure everyone knows there from the south and we do things differently. Texas unfortunately seems to be the worst about this and that is my home state. Even in Texas the traditions between west Texans and east Texans are different and phrases are different. I live in Fredericksburg and things here are way different than the next town to the north which is Llano. There are several Llanoisms that are not said here in Fredericksburg. I imagine all over the south that is the case. There may have even been places in the south where sweet tea was call called iced tea and coke was called pop.
