My problem is the tapes themselves. Joey advises me that there are some of the needed episodes on some of the retail tapes, but only some. I am not a tape collector (because I never watch anything I tape) so I have zip when it comes to TAGS episodes. Anybody got any ideas of how I can get hold of the episodes I need for the classes?

She's both fun loving and pretty, and she doesn't boss Andy around like Helen does; >> I concur. Peggy was always my favorite even though she had a slight overbite. Peggy and Andy made beautiful music together but maybe they couldn't marry because she and Opie were blood kin (blood brothers). Or.... maybe Peggy decided to marry her school mate, Don (couldn't you just hate him?) I was fortunate to hear Peggy sing "Down in the Valley" at one of the cast reunions. She was overwhelmed with the standing ovation she received and she indeed had the voice of an angel.

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. >> Of all the stations that have broadcast TAGS reruns, WFMY channel 2 in Greensboro, NC has done the best job in my opinion. They edit some, but not as noticeable as others and they always show the epilogue. They have been doing this for years. That is where I taped most of the shows, so I have some excellent tapes. I have friends who watch them with me and say things like, "hey, I don't have that part on my tape." Anybody relocating to the middle of NC or visiting there, be sure to check out channel 2 at 5:50 PM each weekday!

The capper on the end of the episodes is pure comic gold, and we've been missing them for years. Seeing Andy mess with Barney and Thelma Lou as they prepared to smooch up a storm Tuesday was a delight. I hope to continue to see these closing scenes, since I haven't seen some and others I haven't seen for a long time. They are just hilarious. I especially look forward to the closing scene of the episode where Barney and Andy arrest the escapee in the trailer park. I've seen it once or twice and it's a classic. PS: I agree with Laura Lee Hobbs. Peggy was the bomb. I don't know why Andy couldn't have stuck with her. She was pretty, smart, funny and very sexy. Of course, since I'm married to one, I'm partial to blondes. tom lawrence in whitefish montana (Jim Nabor's sometimes hometown) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 10:49:29 PST From: "james rogers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: favorite episode Hi y'all, I was wondering if the favorite episode site was still up and running. I have no idea where it was or came from. Evidently, I deleted the site by accident from my folders. I shoulda used bigger wires I reckon! I was hoping to copy the complete listing of the show's episodes for future reference. Thanks, Jim Rogers (ANSWER FROM ALLAN: Well, I guess that means some of you folks never visit the TAGSRWC web site? If you do, you'll find the "Favorite Episode Poll". The "official" part of the poll ended on Dec 31st...that's the part THE BULLET will use in rating the favorite episodes in a future issue...but the poll is going to remain open for folks to be able to vote for their favorite episode. The thing about our poll is that it'll only let you vote one time every 90 days. Drop by and vote if you haven't. http://mayberry.com/tagsrwc/ ) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 15:31:35 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAGS DVD In a message dated 1/11/00 9:38:59 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Yea, that sounds great to fans but remember it is the corporate suites that make these decisions, and their decisions are based on money. Sell 4 DVD's with 249 eps for $30 each or sell 62 DVD at $20 each. >> Don't be surprised if Columbia House offers at the TAGS videos that they have on DVD. With the popularity of DVD, I expect that it will happen this year.

Entertainment Network will be showing its "Andy of Mayberry" show on February 6, 2000. It airs at 9:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific time. Now, like I warned you in the past, some of the shows on this network have been rather gaudy and tasteless, and others not bad at all, so I don't know how our beloved TAGS will come off. It's hard to believe anyone can criticize the behind-the scene going-ons of this show, but I just have to tell the ones who may not watch much of this cable network that they are not necessarily a family oriented network, like Disney. (Lydia and I watch it a lot! Life ain't all gold truck watching you know!)

If not Helen, who was the best match for Andy? will live on as the great debate among TAGS fans, particularly men. I thought Ellie was a better match for him. My reasons, 1) she hit it off well with Opie 2) Rather than the "bossy" as you called Helen's approach...she let Andy make his own mistakes and then laughed with him as he learned his lesson...but Peggy was the better cook which was important in that era, of course Mary Simpson was fun, and Ellen the Manucurist was the looker but...see what I mean I can even make up my own mind. A question back at you..What Mayberry man was a better match for Helen?...they once had a midnight discussion ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 18:15:36 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Otis sighting Hey folks: I happen to see Hal Smith on a rerun of the Dukes of Hazard last night while Fall Creek Falls Tennessee and it was just great. His character had swindled Boss Hogg out of $20,000.00 and then faked his own death so Boss wouldn't come after him. Boss then decided to run a road through the cemetary and Hal came back to get help because if the cemetary were dug up they would find his coffin full of bricks. It was really neat to see Briscoe and Otis on the same screen together. Two of the greates character actors who will ever live. See ya! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 19:32:51 +0000 From: Richard Kandalec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #11 In reply to Don Good's note in reference to TAGS falling to second place in the favorite t.v. series poll, even though it may not mean anything, you all had better vote anyway especially when you see that (ready for this?) "I Dream of Jeannie" is leading by a wide margin. Now come on, this actually can't be serious then. Who ever heard of an "I Dream of Jeannie" re-union, a "Return to I Dream of Jeannie" movie, or a fan club with over 1300 chapters world wide. Anyway, just wanted to speak my piece, since we ALL know which show is the greatest. Also, have you seen that Frances Bavier is moving up in the favorite actress poll. Come on Aunt Bee. Lots of luck to you and yours. Hey Ope. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 18:13:27 -0800 (PST) From: bill shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #12 Just a note form a new resident. I couldn't resist puttin' my two cents worth in on Andy's best choice for a girl. Hands down Peggy McMillan. Not only was Peggy, played by Joanna Moore, completely Va-Va-Voom but she was a nurse and her dad was loaded.(Remember the new car?) If you want further proof, freeze the frame after Barney says "you know it's really kind of ironical that Andy got that black eye, he didn't even care anything about that girl. Anyway that's my two cents. Thanks to all who run this site. We defy the mafia ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 00:14:17 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #12 Frank Sutton's grave In a message dated 01/12/2000 4:53:47 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << another reason a lot of stars don't have fancy headstones, or epitaphs describing their show biz careers is to discourage grave robbing and from some crazy fan stealing the headstone...(this has happened many times with celebrities)..that's why a lot of them out in hollywood are kept in a mausoleum or their own private crypt people are strange and will take anything that had to do with a particular celebrity..also the deceased's family doesn't want to draw too much attention...after all it's a cemetery not a hall of fame.. >> People really will do strange things and there are those that have no respect for anyone or anything. My Mother and Brother are buried a few feet from the grave of "Pretty Boy" Floyd. His simple headstone bears his true name which was Charley Arthur Floyd, his date of birth and death. He lies next to other family members, including his brother who was the county sheriff for 25 years, and his sweet little Mama who lived to be 102. The Floyd family has had to replace his headstone three times. Each time I go to the cemetary to take flowers, I can't help but notice how many more pieces have been chipped off the newest headstone which will soon need to be replaced. People break off chunks of the marble, even the part that bears his name. This is a pretty sick kind of souvineir to me, Behavior like that is beyond my understanding. Just thought I'd add my two cents worth.
