First of all, I would like to say that I am thankful for Alan for all that he does to keep the spirit of Mayberry alive. I am thankful for my daily dose of WBMUTBB? Digest; when I've had a bad day, it cheers me up and takes me to Mayberry for a few minutes! I am thankful for the new friends I have met because of the digest and I want to wish everyone reading a Happy Thanksgiving. I wanted to do this in a special way so I designed a little webpage. I hope everyone will drop in and check it out at: http://community-1.webtv.net/misspoovey/OpieTaylors/ Hope ya'll enjoy it ! Lotsa turkey and mashed taters to you and yers on Thanksgiving! ~MissPoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 17:02:27 -0600 From: mtpilot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: All I wants is a you-knee-form.... Randy brought up some interesting questions regarding the Scout uniforms. As you know, in a couple of episodes, the "State Police" appeared in TAGS. The first episode they appeared in (The Manhunt) they wore generic uniforms. In the later episodes, they changed the uniforms to more correctly look like North Carolina State Troopers. I did some research on this and came up with one obvious discrepancy in the uniform of the TAGS troopers .vs a real NC trooper of that era. Does anyone else know what it is?

Williams of the NCHP. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 21:13:02 -0600 (CST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ellen Kuber) Subject: Columbia Tapes Here's an extra thought to go along with the pitch for people to consider subscribing to the TAGS Columbia Tape series. Once you subscribe, you can always return a particular tape if you don't want it in your collection. Perhaps the tape features a minor character that you don't particularly care for, for instance. The tapes are costly, and I know that's what's keeping many people from subscribing. But with your option to return tapes, you can limit the size of your collection to your absolute favorites. If you don't keep a tape, you simply call their customer service number and request a prepaid postage label to return the tape. So it doesn't cost you anything for tapes you don't care to keep. If people are reluctant to buy all 10 tapes, consider subscribing in order to keep four or five. They make wonderful gifts for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's/Father's Day, Christmas, anniversaries, etc. My family's always asking me what I'd like for these occasions. If I were still collecting the tapes, I'd suggest to them that they "underwrite" one of the TAGS tapes. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 23:07:09 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Glen Campbell Although Glen Campbell was never on "The Andy Griffith Show," he did appear on "The New Andy Griffith Show," cut an album with the Dillards in 1963 titled "FOLKSWINGERS" and Doug Dillard was on the "Whichita Lineman" album. The reason I bring this up is because I just returned from Mr. Campbell's concert (which was great) and I was lucky enough to meet him afterwards. We talked about Doug Dillard and he made the comment that Doug is one of the greatest banjo players he ever met. Of course we already new that.

Andy, Barney, Opie, Howard, Goober, and Gomer was on there. It was a an hour long program. Andy talked about how the show started and he even said that everyone thinks that the show was about his home town but it was not, that it was just a rumor. All the actors looked in good health. Opie has lost most of his hair on top though. I also learnd that when Opie first started the show, he was 6 years old, that he could not read or write so his parents came to the set and taught him the lines. It was a great show. Sincerely Charles s. (NOTE FROM ALLAN: In case some of you don't know, the show Charles is talking about is a repeat of the show that was on CBS several years ago. It comes on TLC or the Discovery Channel every now and then so you'll get another shot at seeing it if you missed it.) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Nov 1999 10:41:07 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V1 #22 In a message dated 11/20/99 4:28:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Our goal should be to let Columbia House know that all 249 episodes deserve the red carpet treatment. Subscribe if you're financially able. Write thank your letters to Columbia House. Lobby your friends to subscribe. Let's show Columbia House what TAGS fans are made of! >> I agree totally! We recently e-mailed CH and told them that we would infact purchase every episdoe if they put them out. They tapes are beau-TI-ful quality. It would make a great set but only if we write, e-mail, and most of all, *BUY* the tapes. Any true mayberry fan will not be dissappointed! If the various Star Trek's can get every episode released then so can we! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Nov 1999 18:38:22 PST From: "jon sipson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V1 #22 Hello, Watched a documentary on TLC. It had andy,opie,barney,golmer,gobber,and howard. It had footage from the set of TAGS that was recorded by opie's mother. Also I bought some videos at a gas station of TAGS. All of them have the little part at the end that is not seen on TBS. I paid 9.00 a piece for them but it was well worth it. Was at Wal-mart last night and say that they are selling a collection that contains ten episodes. I was watching Ron Howards Ed-tv the other night and found some links from TAGS. It showed a video of The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. When they are taping Ed people would advertise and at the bottom. The name fife came across the screen and the tv producer called ed golmer. Opie takes TAGS everywhere he goes. Thanks for listening OPIE Lots of luck to you and yours. (NOTE FROM ALLAN: The Don Knotts videos and the 10 and 15 episode tapes can be purchased from Weaver's Dept Store here online. Y'all drop by. http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Nov 1999 22:34:44 -0500 From: Dennis Beal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Television history favorite TV series Just in case all you fellow TAGS fans didn't know about this, I just found out about a web site that is collecting votes for the favorite TV series of television history. Currently TAGS is ranked 10th in a long list of shows, some that shouldn't even be on a "greatest" list. The URL to visit and cast your vote for TAGS is http://www.freevote.com/booth/tiko2favseries. Let's all hit this site and pull TAGS up to the #1 place it deserves. We currently need 956 votes to top the #1 show so far.
