I record TAGS every weekday morning at 5:00am on WGN to watch before going to bed in the evening. WGN still shows TAGS, but there is a catch, only locally (Chicago, which of course that means where I live).

I heard it will be on the 19th but what time?

Has anyone noticed how much the TV Land re-runs have been edited. Several parts have been cut out. Maybe this is to allow time to show the post-scripts.

Sell 4 DVD's with 249 eps for $30 each or sell 62 DVD at $20 each. I hate to sound like a downer, but it will never happen and if it did, unfortunately it would not be from a big name company -- meaning like many of the video tapes, the quality would be questionable to say the least... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 20:40:13 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: outtakes >From: Ron G Burtz <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >...Does anybody know if there are any blooper reels available from TAGS? None are known to exist, but that doesn't mean somebody might turn some up someday. I wouldn't hold your breath, though (unless you're swimmin' under the raft). Andy Griffith has always had a reputation of being a perfectionist, and I would guess that he personally took steps to see that all of the outtakes were destroyed. Some performers are very sensitive about this sort of thing. Years ago, Leonard Nimoy got very upset when Gene Roddenberry went public with a reel of Star Trek bloopers. Mr. Nimoy was very proud of his skill as an actor, and he felt that to have the public see his mistakes was demeaning to his craft. Other actors, Tim Allen, for instance, seem to get a big kick out of it. There are LOTS of bloopers from Gomer Pyle - USMC. Jim Nabors shows several minutes of them at all of his concerts. They're hilarious! - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 09:37:53 CST From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy & Other Girls A good day to all you swave and beau-te-ful preserved people out there in Mayberry land! A question for you. If Andy had not married Helen, who would you have picked as his best choice? Now, Lydia picks one of the "fun girls" but Lydia has always been something of a renegade. However, my favorite is rich nurse Peggy. She's both fun loving and pretty, and she doesn't boss Andy around like Helen does; shoot, in the colored episodes Andy acts all mean and ill to Opie and just about everyone, except Helen and he acts scared silly of her. (Why else couldn't he just explain to her about the spaghetti? And don't try telling me if he had the show would have been over too soon. The boy was running scared, that's why.) Anyway, Peggy's my choice. "Otis is right. Sometimes all they understand is a leg of lamb."
