I've tried to make it more "clean" and faster loading and I've also brought the content from what was "Mayberry Interactive" in to the TAGSRWC site. Mayberry.com is now basically just the home of the TAGSRWC online. Y'all drop by and check it out. Don't worry when you see it....Uncle Ollie hasn't got in the patrol car and drove off. All the same content is there but it's moved around a little bit. Enjoy.

Of course they gave her a last name. Crazy, I guess I just wasn't thinkin'. I mean to say they didn't give her a FIRST name. She wasn't called Helen until six episodes later, in "A Wife for Andy." I did that just to show you what can happen. That'll be all, men. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:45:45 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Crump...now that's class! >Second, Paul, who ever said "Crump" lacked class? I was quoting Roger Bryant, the publisher who suggested that she should change her name to Helene Alexian Dubois in the episode "Helen the Authoress." It's a color episode, so some folks may not have seen it. >Third, didn't Barney refer to his eyes as "these baby blues" once? And aren't they really brown? And Paul I know you will know this answer. > In "Barney Gets His Man," Barney says to Andy, "It's a cinch [Eddie Brook's] not hangin' around here, otherwise these ol' baby blues would've spotted him." His eyes really are blue. They appear brown in the famous "bug-eyed" photo of Barney, but that's because whoever colorized the old black and white photo messed up on the eye color (they also made his hat brim and necktie brown; they should be black). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:58:49 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Dabbs Greer >Was Dabbs Greer also in the episode about Aunt Bee's birthday and the bed jacket? I believe he worked in the store on that episode. Greg >> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Precedence: bulk Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Right. He was in a total of four episodes as follows: Mr. Sims in "Barney Fife, Realtor" Naylor in "Andy's Vacation" Store clerk in "The Bed Jacket" Councilman Dobbs in "Sheriff Barney" He also appeared in an episode of Gomer Pyle - USMC. He drove Briscoe Darling's old truck in that episode; at least he did until Gomer blew it up with a Bazooka. He's best known for playing the preacher on Little House on the Prairie. Mr. Greer is from the small town of Anderson, MO, just a few miles south of where I live (Joplin). I've never met him, but I've talked to several older folks in Anderson who know him well. They tell me he used to come back and visit often until his mother (who remained in Anderson) died. Another little town near here, Fairview, also claims him as one of their own. I guess he was born in one town and then later lived in the other. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:36:40 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: singer >From: "Sandra M. Causby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Was watching an old movie the other night that I have always enjoyed - "The Five Pennies" with ... none other than Mayberry's own Glen Cripes! >> That's Delos Jewkes. He also appeared in "The Music Man," along with Ronny Howard and several other Mayberry cast members. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 21:19:06 -0600 (CST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (crystal) Subject: New Members Welcome to all the new members!! I hope that you all have as much fun being a citizen of Mayberry, as I have!! I think you'll soon feel right at home. If I might add a friendly reminder: All caps are considered shouting and isn't proper "netiquette". Try to remember to use small letters, unless you are stressing a point. Hope that this is not breaking the rules and was taken in the spirit of which it was given. :o) "Ain't we lucky to be living in such a friendly town?", Crystal Neal ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 22:35:57 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Welcome new members What a great bunch of new members we just got. It's always fun to read the bio's, and see if anyone has joined from MY area. Wouldn't you know it, this time some one DID. Maryalice from Tampa joined, and Maryalice, I tried to e-mail you to personally welcome a neighbor to WBMUTBB, but the mail came back to me. The e-mail address on the bio list must be wrong, so please e-mail me. I hope all the new members enjoy this little corner of Mayberry as much as Martha and I have for the past 3 years. It truely is the BEST place on the net, AND the friendliest. Welcome to Mayberry. Sit and talk for a spell....maybe we'll go down to the drugstore for ice cream for later.

I thought they were going in the order originally shown, but after noticing "Barney's Replacement" showing after "Andy and the Woman Speeder" I am totally confused. I've checked their web site but they aren't posting which episodes are airing anymore.

I read your bios and consider us lucky to have you all join us. Pull up a chair! Karen, Marley & Barney Bice Cape Cod, Mass.

First let me welcome all the Buckeyes who have recently joined our little corner of the web. I know Ohio has TAGS connections because Otis once told Barney to head for Ohio in search of a still ("He's heading for Canada!") Secondly, I am so enjoying TAGS on TV Land! It is great to see so many epilogues. I was watching the episode last night where the cityboy deputy Bob Rogers came to Mayberry and caused Barney to resign. A couple of things I noticed that would not be tolerated in other episode were 1) Andy parking the squad car in front of a fire plug and 2) Barney tearing up the ticket he wrote Bob and dropping it on the ground -- littering! I love the little inconsistencies in some episodes, because they make me feel better about all the little inconsistencies in my own life as I get older! "...give me a moment to meditate."

They are the company that made the game. Lots of luck to you and yers. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2000 12:28:29 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Welcome Welcome to all the new members. We're glad to have you and I know you'll enjoy your membership. I can't get over that fact that we can hear from someone as far away as Saudi Arabia - shazam!!

WBMUTBB member Karen Meadows wrote to TV Land saying: "I'm sending this to request that The Andy Griffith Show be aired in its entirety, un-edited. Come on. . .give us the extra couple of minutes, please?" TV Land wrote her back: "Thanks for writing. We have actually been able to restore "lost scenes" which have not been seen in decades due to the editing of other networks before us. This includes epilogues as well as some other scenes here and there. You are actually seeing 2-3 minutes more of the Andy Griffith Show than has been seen in many, MANY years. This has provided quite a challenge, because, as I am sure you know, show formats of today are much shorter that the formats when The Andy Griffith Show originally aired. Only when absolutely necessary, we do our best to remove small pieces of the show which will not affect the plotline(s) in any way. We think the trade off is worth it because NO network has aired The Andy Griffith Show UN-edited since it's original air time on CBS and we are bringing you more of it than anyone ever has. I have noted your comments for our programming department. " Folks....lets be supportive of TV Land and their airing of TAGS. I know we'd all like to see the entire episode and I think asking them about showing the full episodes is a good thing, like Karen did. But lets be sure we keep our comments positive about how great the episodes look and thank them for showing the parts we've been missing all these years. Thanks, Karen, for sending that note along to us all.
