Fife, MD, and his top student, Mr. E.T. Bass David of "You've Got To Understand, This Is A Small Town" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 12:13:26 -0600 From: Gloria Bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: epilogues Some of the members are mentioning that parts of the show are cut out to make room for the epilogues. Any fan of TAGS has seen the episodes that are being shown on TV Land but not the epilogues. In my opinion showing the epilogues just fills in the missing pieces of the episode. I enjoy watching the episodes on TV land for this reason. I just fill in, by memory, the cut out parts and it all makes sense to me. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 13:00:11 CST From: "Kathy Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Friends on Gomer Pyle USMC Mayberry seems to be sharing quite a few of its characters. So far I've seen "Skippy," Emmett's wife, Miss Mary (I think it's Miss Mary - she's the real shy lady that Barney "accidentally" walked to church each Sunday), the cute blond girl that had to stay overnight in the jail and had Andy and Barney drooling, and the real mean fella in the one where Barney took karate lessons and the instructor actually did the fighting for him. Skippy still had the kooky laugh... I appreciate the privilege of being part of this group. Hope everybody has a blessed and restful weekend. Have a good day...Kathy Jackson ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 13:43:53 CST From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Tea with Miss Manners Oh, Lordy, I'm dead! I just remembered. A tea is one of them things Thelma Lou put poor old Jeff Pruitt through--where you have to balance delicate little tea cup things on your lap and eat them tiny cut-in-half, no crust sandwiches! I was so worried about getting stabbed, I forgot about the other hazards involved. I know ya'll probably think of me as the very picture of graciousness, just sitting out by 123 S on the look-out for gold trucks the way I am every day, but you'd be surprised, I'm normal just like the rest of you. I wasn't kidding one bit about this lady; she did indeed stab poor Nick with that infamous long handle fork of hers, and she's just as liable to use it on me. I wish there was some way I could send Lydia in my place and pass her off as me, but the rest of my family won't hear of it. With that girl's sparkling wit, go figure. Oh, well. Remember me in your prayers, and if you're an atheist, just hold a good thought (which I really don't believe in, but I'm covering all my bases) for me and mine this Sunday at 3:00. If you never hear from me again, you'll know what happened. And just remember I was one of the finest gold truck watchers these parts ever produced.

I wish mine was & it used to be. Last week there were 2 expulsions, one in a High School, & the other in a middle school, for bringing a gun to school. Children no longer feel safe in school. How sad that today's children are robbed of thier innocence. On a lighter vein Laura Lee, start with the fork on the outside & if in doubt, watch to see which fork the hostess picks up & uses. Loved your entry & can't wait to hear the ending.

Even if you can't watch, you can listen to the great dialogue! Everyone needs to check this out! I couldn't wait to hear "Them giraffes are selfish!"

Am I missing something? I've always wondered if there was part of the script that explained this but ended up on the cutting room floor.

Well now, Mr. Tucker DID steal Gomer's truck... Don G.

That is probably my favorite episode of the Dragnet series. Y'all have a great weekend!

Joe Hamilton is there, Johnny Coons I think is there, the African-American lady with the pearl necklace who is rarely seen is there...but who is the guy who make the first comment? I think he has a Grocery hat on and says something like "I saw the whole thing Barney tackled 'em like this" Thanks for all the comments corrections clarifications and mostly compliance to my note about replies to the Digest. Sounds like there are both clean ways to reply and littering ways to reply. Just wanted to clear up the literin' way to save our host Allan some work. Don't Reply; IF your browser/Email normally attaches the whole message ok? Barney said he'd tear up the rest of the tickets. What are the worst names you've ever heard anyone called on our favorite show? Gomer didn't like being called a "boob" in Citizens Arrest Ernest T didn't like being called a "CreChure" in My Fairest ETB even a bad name in Mayberry ain't bad Here's another Snoop Snoop, Bulb Snatcher Bulb Snatcher ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2000 16:52:24 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: local club chapters Hello to everyone in Mayberry. I have really enjoyed reading the digest every since I found it a few months ago. I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me with: I wrote to Nashville and got the contacts name and address for my local TAGSRWC chapter here in Jackson, TN. I, then, wrote this person a letter to find out how to join and become a regular in the local club. I have had no response to this letter and have since heard that this perosn moved from the address I got from Jim Clark in Nashville. The name of the chapter is 'You're a Treasure' and again, it's in Jackson, TN. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give...

Let's say you don't know which spoon to use for cold potato soup; drop something and ask your son to help you find it. While you two are under the table, ask him which one it is. Hey it worked for Goober! Now you will only be able to get away with that one a couple of ties so I put on the bucket and thought of another plan. Let's say you're served fish and there are about 17 different forks on the table. Nonchalantly knock all your forks off the table then look at the person closest to the mes and say "Could you please hand me my fish fork?" I think it could work! typing this with my pinky sticking out... ~the groovy misspoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: 4 Feb 00 02:50:31 EST From: Elizabeth Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: What Mayberry teaches.... Hi everyone, from the Great Town of Chapin, South Carolina! Y'all may remember me from a year or so ago (before I fell off the face of the eart= h for awhile) as BetsyEllie. Got that nickname by being a "dark haired woman" = (you know the type, although I don't personally know ANY dishtowel salesmen) t= hat ran for Council (One of 'em might win!) here in Chapin. I did win and to= ok office in January, although I am not by any means the first female to do = so. = We are a small town with wonderful small town values, friendships and atmosphere. I am always tickled when someone compares our town to Mayber= ry. = We're growing and dealing with all the issues that arise there, but the community spirit remains throughout. I am thankful that I live in a place= where peace and quiet co-exist with progress and growth! There's a littl= e bit of Mayberry here, without a doubt! We recently adopted a resolution that= goes to the very heart of what we all love about Mayberry and it's people - "Character" It's called Communities of Character, and it is a program to= teach children (through the schools mainly), in a community-wide effort, = about ethics and values. Things like responsibility (got to learn to stand on = his own two legs), compassion (remember the baby birds?), honesty (Mr. McBeev= ee?, house sales vs. bike sales, cannon sales v. cufflink sales!) and so on. = If only all kids grew up in homes with parents like Andy and caregivers like= Aunt Bee, and TELEVISION like TAGS!!!!!!! But THEY DON'T. This program is an= attempt to fill in the gaps a bit in what so many kids are not learning a= t home. Now for my query. (I don't think I'm breaking any of the rules here, but= if I am, please forgive me.) I would like to hear from anyone else in WBMUTBB= who is involved on their town, city or county council, or from anyone whose community is involved in the Community of Character Program. HAS ANYONE = USED TAGS (other than the church/Sunday School series we've all read about) in= a program like Communities of Character, and if so, how? Lets take the spi= rit of TAGS and use it to make things better for our future generations!! Ho= pe to hear from lots of folks!
