It has the best Don Knotts pictures on the web. Some of the pictures take a little time to download, but it is well worth the wait. http://fife.tvheaven.com Your Mayberry Friend Mary Foti ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2000 22:34:49 -0600 From: Arthur B Fowler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #32 This is my initial message to the digest though I have been reading for some months now. There's been no finer TV fare than TAGS since..... Howdy Doody ? Who was the actor that portrayed Emmet the fixit man? Thanks...........

He is dressed as a security officer and the ad is for music. He flashes that loveable "Fife" grin, he's still got it.

Who is he, I didn't hear who he was but the episode was when the Hollywood guys going to shoot some kind of movie of something there. Daniel"TexasBluBoy"Kimball >>> You're thinking of Orville Monroe, Mayberry's Funeral Director and TV Repairman (folks claim he charges less to bury you than to fix your set). He was played by Jonathan Hole, and he appeared in only three episodes, all during the first season. In "The Guitar Player" he complained about Jim Lindsey's disturbing the peace in front of his place of business; in "Mayberry Goes Hollywood," as you mentioned above; and in "Those Gossipin' Men" as one of those gossipin' men. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2000 09:09:02 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Matlock/Trivia game I don't hardly ever write in to the Digest, but I have to say that I agree with April about Matlock. I enjoyed watching some of the 24 hours of Matlock. (I didn't get to see all 24 hours but I enjoyed every minute of what I did see:-) I plan on writing TBS and THANKING them for airing the show. I too thought it was great that they selected TAGS related episodes. Also just to let you all know Weaver's has the TAGS trivia game for $29.00.

I have been a Matlock fan from day one, and even though TBS can't show TAGS on Super Bowl sunday, its nice to see that they still care about their ANDY fans! This is probably going to be old news to most of you, but tv land is going to be having 48 hour marathons on All the good shows beginning in February. Looking forward to it!!

Well, they are, but it's MATLOCK! Who wants to watch a whole day of Matlock??! Is it because TVLand has Andy now? My local stations still show TAGS. What gives here? Smokey Bloomington, IN >> Smokey, You're right, this has been discussed before, but TV Land has exclusive cable rights to TAGS, but local stations can still air the show, therefore TBS couldn't air "24 hours of Andy," so they did the best they could and show Andy in his second most memorable role, Ben Matlock.

He said "Take care of yourself" while helping someone on the bus (which always seem to have Macon as the destination!)

Its an advertisement for a radio station and simply says Pink Floyd, which alludes to the band of the same name, but there's Floyd up there looking awfully pink. I guess he finally got some recognition for his trombone playing. It makes me smile everytime I drive by it. "You dont believe I can get guitar sounds out of this jug?"

Our local station #43 shows TWO Andy's each day from 5:00-6:00 PM, M-F. Although the epilogues aren't shown, these get us in shape for the TV Land broadcasts later. Anyone in the Tidewater, VA. area who can receive Fox 43 over the air, check them out. Saw two good ones today, one where Otis rescues Andy, and the Baseball Game when Andy was the umpire. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

At the risk of sounding totally self-serving, I'd like to direct April and others to a comic-book story I wrote awhile back, published in DC Comics' PINKY AND THE BRAIN #20. There, Brain's latest brainstorm to take over the world was to become the sheriff of a small Southern town, with Pinky as his dimwitted deputy, and then climb the political ladder. Pinky and the Brain had to compete in a good ol' boy Olympics against a sheriff/deputy team who seemed VERY familiar... and "Ben Batlock" made a cameo at story's end. If you're interested in reading this, you may be able to find a copy in your local comic shop's back-issue bins.

Well some of us are no better that ol' Fred Plummer, cause were litering the Digest mailbox with Stuff that Allan has to clean up. You all saw me do last weekend, I sent one incomplete message accidently, and then another to try to stop it. So, when I got the right one sent, Allan had to edit it to take out what was already published. The guy does all this for us, and I just gave him more to do. I'll pay the $4.00 cause I can't afford the day in jail. But now, for the Rest of you....DO NOT, I REPEAT IN MY HIGHEST BARNEY VOICE, DO NOT "REPLY TO" THE DiGEST from your Email. Sure it's easy just to hit that little reply to button and fire off a message, but DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SENDS?? Your message and a whole copy of that's days Digest that Allan has to cut and paste out. You're just litterin' like Fred Plummer. And we know who ya are because it says right there by your name 're: WBMUTBB_DIGEST V2 #xx" We're gonna start sending the Mayberry Deputy our to collect your $4.00 fine. All you have to do is: Start a new message, ************************* In the "To" field type; [EMAIL PROTECTED] (write that down) ************************* Now is that so hard? IF so, build a nickname or mailing list for it. ALSO: DO not send a message in HTML, send regular Email text. He has to do something to that also I think. Allan don't like to complain much. I just found this out by asking him some questions. Seriously, please join me in making things easier for him, ok..... NO Replies to Digest. Thanks Allan for all you do! thump thump...I'm down off my soap box now. ------------------- a few Pickups and Splashes from Floor and Pool AuntBee of Orlando re: references The Andy Griffith Show book (Beck and Clark) Mayberry 101 (Brower) a few other books , most of which can be bought over at Weavers Matlock meets Andy hmmm intersting story idea, have to thank on that one inconistencies...Andy/Barney's Graduation years, years between High School and current jobs...yer just wearing out your patella oblingata if you think these facts are all gonna fit together nicely. 30 some writers, noone keeping track of stuff, VCRs not invented yet, It'll never all fit together, just enjoy it and be a trained noticer some of you were talking about Clara cleanin' up that house so fast.., really it was Bertha if you go back listen...but no big deal, we know what ya meant..I think she Got Ellen Brown the Genie to do it. sorry I busted up that Blues song in two Digests...if you want a whole copy, let me know...
