Imagine anyone getting upset at being compared with Mayberry. Maybe we should all move there and the offended ones can see how lucky they are?! For LauraLee: You're a scream! If you're serious, a tea is easier than dinner. Just remember to balance your cooky plate on your lap and drink quietly from your teacup with your little finger crooked out! Since there's no flatware involved save for the table serving ware, I doubt if the old self-appointed "Miss Manners" will have her fork out either! In any case, please let us hear how it went after the fact and the wedding too!

I don't know how I could've gotten so mixed up; guess my anesthesia hasn't worn off yet!! My humble apologies to all.

Young Theodore was playing in the family car and caused it to roll into the street and block traffic. Who was second in line of the stuck vehicles, honking and yelling at the boy to "move that car"? Why, none other than Malcolm Tucker, the man who is ALWAYS in a hurry.

A few months ago, someone had mentioned that he was on Adam 12 and got shot in the leg. Guess old Luke was just real shootable... - -Charlie ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 11:02:46 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TVland's missing scenes While watching the episode "Andy and the New Mayor" the other night on TVland, there is a scene where Barney dupes Mayor Stoner into thinking he's a prisoner whom Andy had released (for three days to harvest his crops) by taking his place under the sheets in cell #1. In order to allow for the epilogue, TVland removed an entire scene that follows when the mayor is informed by Andy that prisoner Jeff Morgan was sent home to tend to his crops. We missed seeing Barney scramble into the cell at the sight of the approaching mayor, jumping into the cot and pulling up the covers over his head, then pretending to be Morgan to a now wised-up mayor. The exchange between Mayor Stoner and Barney (pretending to be Morgan) was one of the funnier moments in the episode, as I had previewed the episode from another tape immediately following tonight's airing on TVland. Andy then follows the mayor into the courthouse and also falls for Barney's charade, until Barney peeks up at Andy from under the blanket and (pardon the pun) "blows his cover". Mayor Stoner then taps on Andy's badge with the jail key, threatening to replace him with someone else "more fit to wear it than he" - that is, if Morgan has not returned by 5 o'clock as promised. Finally there's the close-up scene of the courthouse clock as all three await Morgan's return - which is the scene that TVland cuts to immediately following the scene on Andy's front porch, when Mayor Stoner demands that Andy "Meet me at the courthouse"! No doubt it's a real luxury to view the epilogues that we have not seen for so long. But isn't it a shame that it has to be at the expense of missing out on some classic scenes such as this from the body of the shows themselves. Wouldn't it just be nice to have our cake and eat it too! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 16:21:20 GMT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jeff Krentz) Subject: Re: Pink Floyd shirts >I seem to recall hearing of a place where you could buy "Pink Floyd" = t-shirts >a while back.

Not sure if they are still available, but I'll sneak a look at the Rolling Stone next time I'm in the barbershop. =20 Jeff ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 10:35:32 CST From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: epilogue Can ya'll tell me what the epilogue is about on the the gold truck episode, the one in which I star so prominently?

What you need to understand is that we folks who like to point out the inconsistencies are merely showing off our status as trained noticers and saying "isn't it odd that..." I know I am, anyway, when I point out something like that. =20 Anyway, how did Aunt Bee lose the pickle contest to Clara eleven years in a row, when she hadn't been in town much more than a year? And what was the point in numbering the jars for anonymity when EVERYBODY knew which jar belonged to each person? We'll never know but it sure is good watchin', right? I appreciate it.

Say "How do you do, Mrs. Wiley," and don't throw the napkins in the punch bowl. You'll clean up real nice. About the town that doesn't like the Mayberry conotation: Years ago when I was a fresh-out-of-journalism-school reporter ("That college kid!), I spent the day riding in a squad car with a local policeman. Mind you, I grew up in this town and did consider it a safe, friendly place, so I referred to the cop as having a job "similar to Barney Fife's," and our town having a crime rate similar to Mayberry's. It seemed like all we did all day was stop speeders ("You give 'em five miles, and they'll take ten ...). Imagine my horror when I was later confronted by the police chief and told the officer did not appreciate my comments and had taken a lot of ribbing for the article. Boy, was I "nave." Six months later that same cop gave my husband a speeding ticket -- I think he was out for "reveng." Times have changed, however, and our mayor wouldn't mind if we were thought to be like Mayberry now. We've had our share of drugs in the schools, youth gangs, bomb threats, drunk drivers and even a couple of homicides. I'm so glad we can live in Mayberry, if only online and in TVLand.

The resason Andy and Barney didn't just throw the bad pickles in the garbage is because Andy said, "No, she might find out and it would break her heart" If any of you watch PAX channel the other night they had on the program A second chance, the man who played the mayor in TAGS. He was a judge up in heaven. Not bad for a mayor from Mayberry.
