TAGS Is Everywhere

[DAVID QUINN]

   In this part of Oklahoma, our cable system carries Antenna TV.I 
don't know if you get it where you are, but at 9 P.M. central time, they show 
old reruns of The Johnny Carson Show.   On Monday night they showed the one 
from November 19, 1980.In one of the early segments, Johnny was talking 
about things that have names that very few people know.For instance, the 
plastic tip on shoe laces is called an aglet.   Then he asked if anyone knew 
what they called the plaster of paris that law enforcement uses to pick up 
footprints.A woman in the audience yelled out "Moulage".Johnny said 
"Right, how did you know that?"   The woman yelled out "I watch the Andy 
Griffith Show".Fans are everywhere, even in 1980.

{Spam?} Gunsmoke on TAGS

[m white]

TAGS fans,
If you're interested in hearing the Gunsmoke radio episode where John Dehner 
plays a seller of patent medicine (much like his Colonel Harvey character on 
TAGS), look for the episode from Nov 14, 1953 titled "Professor Lute Bone". 
There are several places on-line where you can listen to or even download 
Gunsmoke episodes. Howard McNear has a good part in the episode as Doc and, of 
course, Parley Baer is Chester.

Re: Gunsmoke and TAGS

[Gary Muskat]

And let's not forget Chester was played by Parley Baer who went on to play 
Mayor Stoner on TAGS.

   1. Gunsmoke on TAGS, of Vice-Verse (m white)

TAGS fans,
Was listening to a "Gunsmoke" radio drama from 1953. Doc (Howard McNear) was 
all upset when Matt got back into Dodge because there was a man peddling a 
miracle elixir cure that contained opium. The "Professor" peddling the miracle 
cure was played by John Dehner, who of course was still peddling miracle cures 
a hundred years or so later in Mayberry as Colonel Harvey! Let's just say 
Mayberry was much more friendly to him than Dodge.
Then, in the next episode, Matt went up against an army deserter and suspected 
murderer played by James Best, aka the Guitar Player Jim Lindsey.
And having listened now to the first two seasons of Gunsmoke on radio, Howard 
McNear is listed as one of the stars but John Dehner, who is on more episodes, 
is only ever listed as a guest star.

TAGS on TDVD Show

[Harriet Browder]

Too funny…story about what if Don Knotts had shown up on Dick Van Dyke Show 
instead of Danny Thomas?  If you’ve never seen “It may look like a walnut” 
episode on The DVD Show, the rest of this will go right over your head (quote 
Barney).

Danny Thomas Popped up on the "Dick Van Dyke Show’s Classic "Walnut" Episode on 
ME TV Well, what if Barney Fife had shown up Instead?
Incredible as that sounds, this blurb from the September 22, 1962 edition of 
the syndicated "TV Scout" newspaper column contains the tantalizing suggestion 
that Carl Reiner may have at least toyed with the idea of involving both Don 
Knotts AND Andy Griffith in an earlier draft of his classic sci-fi parody. I 
suspect it was a fleeting notion that was soon forgotten. Or perhaps last 
minute schedule issues forced an eleventh hour rethink that prompted Danny 
Thomas to step into the role? Either way, breathes there a fan of either series 
who wouldn't pay a considerable sum to see Deputy Barney go toe to toe with Rob 
Petrie, armed only with a sack of walnuts!
Here's the text of that item as it appeared in newspapers on September 22, 1962:
TV SCOUT September 22, 1962
The cast of The Dick Van Dyke Show is talking about a particularly wild episode 
Carl Reiner has written for the show’s second season.
“According to what I have heard,” Mary Tyler Moore told TV Scout, “Dick has a 
dream in which everyone looks like a walnut and talks like Andy Griffith or Don 
Knotts. We’ll either win an Emmy for the show, or they’ll put Carl Away 
Permanently.”

Alumni Sighting - and TAGS theme

[Joe]

Watching the "Twilight Zone" last night on MeTV, there was Jean (Daphne)
Carson playing the wife of a crook in a pretty good episode called "A Most
Unusual Camera" - a couple years before appearing on TAGS.

Then, while listening to an NPR segment about the role of sheriffs in
America, the host mentioned Andy Griffith specifically at the beginning,
then they played the TAGS theme at the end of the piece. A nice surprise.

job with Martha's brother.  When they came back from a week's training
course, Martha's brother said they let Raleigh at 7 o'clock and pulled into
Mayberry around midnight - a five-hour drive.  Either Martha's brother is

>bit parts were given to the same group of people.

Agreed there were less actors available for bit parts half a century ago but 
remember each production house “owned” the actors that contracted with them. 
Warner Bros “owned” the westerns where many actors appear and reappear. But 
also  – Production houses “loaned” actors out.  It was a different world then 
and should never be compared to the Hooeywood we know today.

While watching the old 50s and 60s tv shows quite a few actors showed up
from one show to another.  I put the bucket on my head and gave it a think.
There were not as many people in the tv acting business back then and fewer
agents so the bit parts were given to the same group of people. Good for
them. Now there are so many channels and shows I don't know any of them.

TAGS in my Church

[Ken Anderson]

This past Friday I had the honor and privilege of doing my Mayberry
presentation for our senior fellowship group at church.  Due to Covid, it
had been 20 months since I last presented.  This presentation was the 95th
time I had done it.  We had 50 people attend.  Our Director of Church Life
told us that he had been organizing senior events at churches for the past
fifteen years, and this was the largest crowd he has had.  So I think that
speaks volumes about the interest that seniors have in TAGS and Mayberry.
The group was so engaging, and we had so much fun. They loved it when I
brought out two bottles of Colonel Harvey's Indian Elixir ( one empty ) and
I accused our assistant pastor of spiking the apple cider. This morning was
our coffee group, and this group continued Friday's enthusiasm with many
questions and comments for me.  Such fun.

In response to Holland's post yesterday about the "Mayberry Man" movie being 
similar to the "Man in a Hurry" episode on TAGS, yes, I see the similarities, 
but I think it is even more similar to "Bailey's Bad Boy" episode on TAGS. In 
that episode bad boy Ron Bailey is a cocky kid who broke the law in Mayberry 
and doesn't want to be held accountable or take responsibility for his actions. 
By the end of the episode he sees the value of standing on his own two feet, 
seeing Andy's wisdom and becomes a better person for it.

Macon's Biggest TAGS Fan Passes

[gmsproductions]

Eddie Jones, perhaps the biggest fan of TAGS in Macon, Georgia, has died
after a long fight with cancer.

He and his wife, Peggy, had been to Mayberry Days no less than 15 times.

When Eddie's sons, Ben and Dan, recently restored their father's boat they
painted "Aunt Bee, Myers Lake, Mayberry, NC" on the bow.

One of Eddie's final visits to Mt. Airy included an overnight stay at Andy's
homeplace.

And it's most appropriate that Eddie's obituary carries a Mayberry theme
throughout.

Trivia - Perry Mason character before TAGS

[Harriet Browder]

A post on the Perry Mason page….or in Floyd’s words – The things you don’t know.

Today's episode "The Case of the Frantic Flyer" features a character named 
Andrew "Andy" Taylor which was aired just five weeks before The Danny Thomas 
Show episode "Danny Meets Andy Griffith" in which Sheriff Andy Taylor of 
Mayberry (played by Andy Griffith) made his television debut.

PS – the character of Andrew Taylor is found dead at the beginning of the show, 
so don’t expect to see a credit in IMDB. No actor played Taylor.

TAGS fans,
Saw a double-sighting of TAGS alumni last night on "Death Valley Days". Gail 
Davis (Thelma Lou's sharp-shooting cousin Karen) was the prettiest girl in a 
mining town full of men. One of her suitors was a cleaned up, full-haired and 
strangely sober Hal Smith (Otis). It was an oddly funny episode for "Death 
Valley Days" with a border-line racy scene (for 1952) and one of the most 
absurd plot holes for an ending you're likely to find on any show, but fun to 
watch.

MeTV and FeTV.  Our shoplifter turned proud wife Lurene Tuttle is the defendant 
4 times and questionable other characters many more. Good Ole Mr. O’Malley, as 
in “Hey Chuck!” is a judge 23 times. But my favorite Mason character is Dabbs 
Greer. He plays many characters and when he’s the killer, he delivers my 
favorite whining confession. “Yes, I killed the big gas bag.”

RE: TAGS actors on Perry Mason

[Harriet Browder]

I’ve been hooked on Perry since it came to MeTV and FeTV. Amazing, the number 
of actors that appear in both. My favorite confession is by Dabbs Greer. “Yes, 
I killed the big gas bag!”  Priceless. His appearances include being a 
murderer, victim and an innocently accused. He pulls off a drunk act that could 
easily rival Otis Campbell on a bad night.

Bavier is in one, and bless her heart, she’s not accused or the killer, unlike 
when she’s in a western. That toughened up “warden” style in her really shines 
as a bad gal.  Ruta Lee is in several as well as Sue Ane Langdon and Julie 
Adams. Julie starts out being sent to prison to await execution (Perry loses) 
and is quite afraid of Wednesdays, 10AM to be exact, as most take place at that 
time and day. Perry pulls off his usual tricks, shutting down “Immaterial, 
incompetent and irrelevant” objections. Guess when she’s released.. Yep.,. A 
Wed. at 10AM.

Mayberry…it’s everywhere!

Some respectable Mayberry residents turned to crimethey pop up on Perry 
Mason all the time. Especially Karl Swenson. He has a total turnaround 
personality, with and without a beard. Another great is Denver Pyle. He's been 
a victim and a murderer.  Ellen Cordy couldn't make it as a car thief much 
longer, she moved to LA to meddle in Perry's cases. Francis Bavier played a 
typical Aunt Bee, who comes to town to take care of her niece, but she didn't 
kill him.

The best Perry Mason outburst confession to me is Dabbs Greer. Quiet court 
room, he suddenly stands up and declares, "Yes, I killed the gas bag."  Don't 
that just clutch ya?

I really enjoy seeing TAGS alumni in other shows (usually westerns on MeTV and 
HandI).  But what really makes me notice is when two or more are on the silver 
screen.  I recently watched "Vanishing Point" for about the umpteenth time; and 
took extra notice.  Karl Swenson/Mr. McBeevee starred as Sandy, the car 
delivery agency attendant.  Also starring was Arthur Malet/Vagrant in "Lost and 
Found" as one of the hitchhikers Kowalski picked up, and there was Owen 
Bush/Mr. Jason in "Off to Hollywood" as a Nevada communications officer.  One 
of the tunes in the movie was provided by The Doug Dillard Expedition.  See?

TAGS CHARACTERS on other shows

[Michael Eury]

I always enjoy spotting TAGS actors on other series, and enjoy reading
folks' comments here when they spot them too. It's hard to see, say, Denver
Pyle on PERRY MASON and not think, "Hey, there's Briscoe Darling!"

But we're talking about the actors, not the characters themselves, so that
got me "thankin'" (without a bucket over my head):

How many times did TAGS *characters* (Sheriff Taylor, Deputy Fife, Opie,
etc.) actually appear on other TV shows?

Off the top of my head: We start with Andy and Opie on THE DANNY THOMAS
SHOW (the TAGS pilot). Then Goober, Aunt Bee, and Opie guest-starred on
GOMER PYLE, USMC (did I miss any Mayberry guest?). And it's been a while
since I saw HEE HAW, but didn't George Lindsey play Goober there from time
to time?

Then there were parodies of TAGS characters, like Don Knotts as the lawman
of "Juneberry" when he guest-starred on THE NEW SCOOBY-DOO MOVIES Saturday
morning cartoon.

Just goes to show you the far-reaching influence of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
and Mayberry's beloved citizens?

Can y'all think of any others?

Michael Eury

One of those something elses is...He runs the General Store on Gunsmoke, in

TAGS without Barney

[m white]

TAGS fans,
I was thinking about the recent posts about Andy's evolution as a character, 
especially as to how different the show was after Barney left. It occurred to 
me that (somewhat ironically) a similar story is "Happy Days" in that it was 
never the same after Richie (played by TAGS-alum Ron Howard) left. And, 
personally, I never cared as much for MASH after Henry Blake left, either.

TAGS ratings

[Elizabeth Busby]

TAGS has been #1 on my TV ratings for a long time. When it first came out
my father watched the news and westerns, while we did our
handwritten homework, then turned off the TV. I had an 8:00 bedtime anyway
so did not have a chance to see it in the 60's. When I grew up and moved
out, I could watch what I wanted and when I wanted. Could stay up all night
if I wanted to, so that's when TAGS really took hold. I'm glad it comes on
during the day now, my bedtime has moved up to 9:00.

I happened to watch an episode of "The Twilight Zone" the other night and saw 8 
TAGS alumni on that one episode. The episode was called "I Dream of Genie" 
(season 4/episode 12) from 1963. It starred our very own Howard Morris (Ernest

from Ernest T.). It is interesting that his name in the episode is very close 
to the NC governor who came to Mayberry in "The Cannon" episode, whose name was 
George C. Handley.

Other TAGS characters appearing include:

Jack Albertson (cousin Bradford J. Taylor)
Mark Miller (temporary deputy Bob Rogers)
Ben Astar (Mr. Vasilievich the Russian at the summit meeting)
James Millhollin (Arnold Finch the money counterfeiter)
Joyce Jameson (Skippy the fun girl)

Guns on TAGS

[Joe]

Elizabeth B. asked last week about the episodes where guns are prominent.
She mentioned the one where Andy points a gun at Goober in anger. This
pointing of guns at people is something that has always surprised me on
TAGS. The very first "commandment" of gun safety is to assume that every
gun is loaded, and to never point a gun at anyone. Yet there are several
episodes where guns are pointed directly at people.

 Besides Elizabeth's example, there's the one where Uncle Ollie is in the
courthouse, takes a rifle, and points it at Andy. And in "Andy the
Matchmaker", Barney points his gun directly at Andy's face, and then
directly at a prisoner. I know there are other examples, but these two come
to mind right away.

 A little surprising - and to me, different than the ongoing gag of Barney
accidentally firing his revolver into the floor.

Re: Silent scene and TAGS characters in Western Series

In High Noon in Mayberry, when Andy is listening to the footsteps leading to 
the door. The doorbell buzzer tone was timed by someone - probably Paul (the 
real Mayberry guru) Mulik,  I don't remember how long the tone is held but long 
enough to be counted as a "silent moment".

PS - Anyone notice how often Leo Gordon (Luke Comstock) appears in TV Westerns? 
From good guy to bad guy he's everywhere, practically in every single western 
series made for TV.  Also, Mr. McBeeve (Karl Swenson) appears often enough to 
rival Leo's appearances. Mostly Karl is sporting a beard and hard to recognize 
until he speaks.

You guys are late to the party.  I've been hooked on westerns on Starz Encore 
Westerns, INSP Channel, Grit TV, Me TV, Antenna TV, FeTV. They all are airing 
old westerns from the 50s/60s. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at the number 
of TAGS actors that show up in many series;  Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Wagon Train, 
Paladin, Lawman, Rifleman, Cheyenne, Tales of Wells Fargo, Virginian, Big 
Valley, Bonanza, Maverick, Lone Ranger, Tombstone Territory, Bat Masterson, 
Death Valley Days, many more.  Hopalong Cassidy on Encore every Saturday 
morning with his sidekick Andy Clyde (Frank Myers) as California, and Edgar 
Buchanan (Mr. Wheeler) as Red Connors.  You can catch our favorite Chuck 
O'Malley (Convicts at Large) as a judge on Perry Mason in many episodes as well 
as a number of TAGS actors.

Considering TAGS premeired in 1960 and B.H. didn't premerie until 1962, there 
were several seasons before the famous phrase was used. Holywood had plenty of 
time to come up with incorporating it as a friendly gesture to busines patrons 
long before the rednecks turned city folk waved at the camera.

And before any of you start using it  here, it's plural, NEVER singlular...the 
contraction of "You all". A poet wrote this, not me.  All you folks from other 
parts, both city folks and rural. Come listen here, I got the word and the word

Many TAGS actors appeared in old westerns. Today on Maverick (episode According

and as a bonus, Diane Brewster (Beaver's first teacher Miss Canfield). Action

TUTTLES IS BACK!!! And my truck's license plate is the squad car's.  Thank
you, Sam! I've been following the strip for years. I love Tuttles. Who
remembers Opie's turtle's name?

Thanks Harriett, I looked up the recipe. I also thought I could put
butterscotch chips in a pecan pie.
When I heard Aunt Bee talking about the pie, it got my attention because I
thought Opie's favorite apple. Maybe he didn't want to eat any more apple
pie after eating too many apples in the back of the truck. Elizabeth in Ga

TAGS Christmas Episode

[LGillum]

The house settled in peace before the friendly fire.  Room lights were 
softened to mellow nuances, punctuated by miniature points of 
incandescence across sparkling rows of evergreen garlands along the 
fireplace mantel.  Our Christmas tree twinkled majestically and 
magically, brighter than ever, with a comforting angel presiding 
overhead.   Telephones were silenced and the dog was not allowed to 
bark.   All eyes were now focused on Channel 248, MeTV.   A gentle 
tranquility spread over the domain, and there they were -- our Mayberry 
friends and family -- sharing Christmas joy and love with Scrooge Ben 
Weaver.   Santa appeared in Barney's unlikely image, kindling fervent 
imaginations and memories from my own distant childhood.  Emotions 
swelled as Miss Ellie and Andy sang their simple but angelic rendition 
of "Away in a Manger."   And lo, it was suddenly Christmas in Mayberry.  
And consequently, thankfully, thoughtfully, Christmas had arrived in my 
little corner of the world.    And lo, it is Christmas once again.   God 
bless us all, everyone.

Was Lassie on TAGS?

[Harriet Browder]

A friend sent me a question (as if I'm the expert - ha ha) In "Sam for Town
Council" episode, one scene of Emmett's campaign dreams, he is waving an
American flag and has an arm around a collie, which by any accounts could
easily be from one of the Lassie dog lines. Anyone have any bright ideas
about that idea? Curious, curious.

Top 5 TAGS moments

[Joe]

Matt,

Thanks for starting the discussion about the Top 5 emotional TAGS moments -
hard to disagree with yours, or any of the others mentioned.  It just goes
to show, once again, how great writing and acting made TAGS such a classic,
memorable show.

One of my favorites is the end of "Opie's Hobo Friend", first when Opie
asks Buddy Ebsen, his hobo friend, if he really stole Aunt Bee's purse -
then left behind the fishing lure that Buddy had given him. The look on
Opie's face, and Buddy's avoiding looking at Opie, or answering him, are
moving scenes.

Then, when Andy lets Buddy go to catch the train, and they look at each
other without saying much directly - that is some great acting too.

Top TAGS Moments

[Harriet Browder]

Me too, Matt. Those are precious moments.

The end of "Opie the Birdman" is one of my favorites, when he releases all
three. My mom was the lady in the neighborhood whom kids would bring baby
birds to that had fallen out of the nest or a cat got mama. We had probably
a couple dozen or so wild birds of differing types over the years taking up
residence in an old parakeet cage on a coffee table. One day when I was
about 5 I forgot a recovering cardinal was on my shoulder and I walked
outside. Of course he found freedom and that was the end of that but I cried
for a long time about losing "My baby bird" when my mom wouldn't climb the
tree to bring him back.

RE: My top 5 TAGS moments that get to me

[pdking77]

Matthew,I agree with your list, but I'd add a 1a: From "The Cow Thief" when 
Barney brings up another crazy idea that another Mayberry mayor had, Andy 
hiring him as his deputy.  Somehow, that just brings home the deep friendship 
and loyalty between the two. I always get a catch in my throat when I watch 
that scene!

My top 5 TAGS moments that get to me

[Matthew Anderson]

Here are my top 5 moments from the show that make me tear up a little or
get me a little emotional.

1.Andy on Trial-When Barney defends Andy by saying "This is a small town."

2.The Song Festers-When Gomer sees Barney softly singing the song inside
the vacant .
 performance room.

3. Barney and the Cave Rescue-When Thelma Lou and Helen say that Barney is
quite a guy after  he becomes the hero in the rescue.

4.Man in a Hurry-(my favorite episode by the way)-when Malcolm Tucker
starts to leave after his
   car is fixed and he looks at the faces of all those that are saying
goodbye. Also the end shot of
him falling asleep with the peeled apple core in his hand.

5. Floyd the Gay Deceiver-When Floyd watches the lady drive away and
admires her so much.
 Andy in turn sees how much this means to Floyd.

One additional-The Christmas Story-Ben Weaver singing Away in a Manger from
the outside
 looking in.

I love how Andy mentions Elvis without actually saying his name "That
guy singing on TV and jumping and shaking all over. Sounds like someone's
beating his dog."

Well, with all the stars I was able to name, I can't believe I forgot Glenn 
Ford!  He's mentioned in one of my favorite episodes of all time, "The Bank 
Job," and I forgot him.  Dirty me, dirty me, I'm disgusted with myself!  Ha!
