It is true that he was considered for the role of the tin woodsman and that he did make a recording of the "If I Only...." song, but his version was not used in the movie. Here's a hint: the actor's voice was used as someone else's voice - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 22:13:53 -0600 From: Ron G Burtz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #29 Here's a good question for you really intense TAGS trivia types. I saw the Mountain Wedding episode the other day with Denver Pyle as Mr. Darling. It suddenly occurred to me that Denver and Gomer share the same last name. Is this more than a coincidence?

It has a section dedicated to never seen or seldom seen clips form shows. There are clips there from the Andy Griffth Show. I think you need RealPlayer to view/listen to them, but that's a free download if you don't already have it.

This van tracks her down to her house and whisks her away rocking chair and all, to what looks like the White House. Just noticed that last night.

Where Barney is conducting his survey of possibles for Andy with Thelma Lou on the sidewalk beside her car. Diana (Vicki Harms) Can I have a bite of your snowcone, Barn? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 00:22:50 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: re: graduation dates Why is it that Andy and Barney go to two different class reunions? One is the class of "45 and the other episode is "47(i believe). Did they not graduate at the same time? Both there photos are in the 'Cutlass' yearbook. Another thing, why did Thelma Lou leave Mayberry and get married to someone else? What happened to poor Barney, did she leave him or the other way around? I know he went to work in Raleigh, but why did they separate? Am I missing something? Diana (Vicki Harms) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 11:42:32 GMT From: "Chad S. Dotson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mailing List Hey, everyone! Allan's given me permission to post this (thanks!), and I just wanted to drop a quick line to the digest, letting everyone know about another great TAGS resource available. We have an Andy Griffith Show mailing list that I've found is a great complement to the digest. We are approaching 100 members, and we all love talking about anything related to Mayberry. It's called "tagslist" and we have a really good group of people....it's a nice little community, and everyone here is cordially invited to join us. I want to stress that this is an entirely different resource from the digest....if you are going to subscribe to only one, stay here with the digest. Heck, I'm subscribed and I read the digest every day. Tagslist, though, sends the messages out in real time, as they are posted to the list (rather than in one big email every day). It fosters a little more personal communication, and we really love it. Anyway, I hope all of you will subscribe by sending a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or by going to my homepage at <http://members.xoom.com/cincireds/andy.html>. Thanks for listening! Come join the list.....we look forward to meeting you all further!

Anita's observation about how fast Clara seemed to clean up the house while Andy was on his way to get Aunt Bee from the bus has been something I''ve pondered myself. After much meditation, there are 2 possible explanations that I can think of (1) Clara was probably quick to get the job done because she wasn't getting paid by the hour ; (B) Andy stopped by the diner for lunch (avocado stuffed with raisins and a lemon phosphate). Any other ideas? Linda - Goober PhD ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 08:19:21 -0700 From: "Chip Morris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: How'd it get started?

Here's another one that recently made me put the bucket on to "thank" and I still can't resolve it. We know that ole Ange and Barn graduated from high school in '45 or '48, depending on which reunion episode you take from. Now think back to the "Quiet Sam" episode. Barney reminds Andy that Andy failed Ms. Webster's biology class in the spring of 1938. In Michigan, we get biology in about the tenth grade. Apparently Andy was taking such an advanced course in, what, the second or fifth grade, depending.

What'll I do?" Barney--"HIT HER BACK!")nor did she have a speaking part in "A Wife for Andy." My lady is a little older than Thelma Lou or Helen, and I believe her name in the "A Wife for Andy" episode was AnnaBelle (a dear friend sent it to me, so please forgive me if I have it wrong already). Barney & TL were standing out by the court house and TL said hey to AnnaBelle as she walked by (her dress collar turned up as usual). Barney was about to write her name down when TL had to tell him she was married. It was then that Barney saw Andy walking with Helen, and the rest is history. I don't recall this lady ever speaking; she rarely did anything but walk down the street or maybe once open a door. But she looked so dignified, I thought maybe she had been a former model. I also thought perhaps she was Jean Howard, Ron's mom, but no bio has ever mentioned that Jean was ever connected with the show the way Rance was, so I doubt it. I guess her name will remain a mystery the same as Mr. Shlump (?), though why no one can remember who played this poor soul is a mystery to me. Now, one other question, and I will keep my mouth shut. Promise. The credits at the end of the episode where Barney gives Andy and Helen a day off to themselves, list someone called a "wormster." Now, what the heck is a wormster? Was this some kind of a joke? Some kind of a regional thing? Being disrespectful to the game warden for giving out a ticket to a sheriff? All the other credits are accounted for, including the warden's, so I'm left with that wormster thang. We have George, tv repair man, Howard Morris; the guy handing Andy the telephone so he could call Gomer at the court house who, I guess was the Justice of the Peace; all the usual suspects. And then we have at the bottom of the credits, left hand side, Wormster, and a name to go with it. Please, won't somebody tell me what a wormster is? Was a scene cut out? Is this wormster guy the dude who sold worms to Andy? Somehow I just know I could be a better dime store clerk, a keener gold truck watcher, a loyaler friend, a briefer TAGS poster (and bless his heart, wouldn't Allan love that!), an appreciater of Helen more, (and just a general more roundered American if I had this off my chest.
