While swearing in three extra deputies, Otis, Floyd and another guy whose name I don't recall, Floyd's hat is way too big for him while the other guy's is way too small. Andy tells them to exchange hats, but for some inexplicable reason unknown to science, the same thing happens again--Floyd's new hat is still too big, the other guy's hat is still way too small. So they go back to the original way, and still neither guy has a hat that fits. Now this scene recently was cut during the exchange back part, but if TVLand keeps it in, it is priceless. I have heard that it took over 20 takes for this scene to be filmed because every time Don Knotts looked at Floyd he would burst out laughing. I wonder what causes that? "One thing about gypsies, though, they're moody."

I've always wondered about that. >> Yes - there is a thing as a citizen's arrest but "Don't try this at home". I tried to make a citizen's arrest one time. There was a big huge enormous man stealing lingeree at J. C. Penney's. This is true - like a Tale out of Two Cities - he had on some elastic waist pants and was literally scraping counters of lingeree off into his pants. I was so shocked and appalled that I went up to him and told him I saw what he was doing and that I was making a citizen's arrest. Since he outweighed me about 300 pounds and I was a goober without a gun and I didn't have handcuffs, a bullet or anything, he just bolted and ran past me knocking me into the Maidenform bra display. Then I yelled, "Stop that Man" but he got away. Later I was told that I should never confront a shoplifter inside the store. So from now on, I'll just wait until they go outside and see if they clank. Although it's safe enough in Mayberry - I wouldn't try it again in this day and time. Better to call 911 if you have it. If not - ask Sarah to connect you with the Sheriff's Office unless the Mendlebright sisters are using the phone to discuss their feet.

In what episode will you find Andy, on two separate occasions > have a cigarette?>Uh, er, is it the one where Gomer is a houseguest??? "Sweetly disposed, but dumb"Tim Bushong The other one is when Andy delivers the baby (Andy). "Sure didn't freeze up on this little grasshopper." Here's a question I have no idea what it means. When Barney gives the Governor a ticket and gets "gassed"...Andy is trying to explain to him the situation and Barney says, "sure Mike" does anyone know what this is in referrence too? And don't think I haven't used that line on several occasions and NO ONE gets it, but one night I had people crying over it.

If ever ther was a Mayberry kind of guy, I think Charles Schultz was. How ironic that this was the last issue of the comiic strip "Peanuts" running today. With all the talk of Ben Weaver & the Spirits, it is a good thing that the Baldwin sisters lived in Waltons Mountain & not Mayberry. Old Ben would have had a fit, when they freely handed out "papa's recipe" not knowing that it was really moonshine. That possibly would have provided old Otis & his friends a good supply, if he could have gotten to be friends with the dear old ladies.

Owens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Book with TV house floorplans Hey, A friend of mine is building a new house and she wrote and said that they felt so dumb because they hadn't realized that TV houses were sets. Do I recall a mention a ways back of a book that had floorplans of TV show homes in it? They are looking for plans of Bonanza's Ponderosa ranch house. If there is anyone out there that knows about this, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd drop me a line. Please send info directly to me so we don't clog up the digest.

I have a question...something that's been bugging me for a while. I was just a newborn when TAGS went on the air, but I seem to remember that in the later years CBS started referring to the show as simply "Andy in Mayberry". Is this really the case or merely a fignewton of my imagination? Thanks in advance for helping to calm my fevered mind! Ron Burtz Ron, I think that it was called Andy of Mayberry during the time if was being syndicated during the morning hours on CBS. Not real sure why it was, maybe because of copy rights or something. In the past I have bought recorded video cassettes and they had, in the opening credits, the title of "Andy of Mayberry." The ones I have now are titled TAGS but don't have the original song on them. lots of luck to you and yours Charlie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 14:33:34 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: alternate title >>>I seem to remember that in the later years CBS started referring to the show as simply "Andy in Mayberry". Ron Burtz >>> You're exactly right. When TAGS first entered syndication in the mid-60s, the show was still on the air in prime time. For some strange reason that must have made sense to somebody back then, the daytime reruns bore the title "Andy of Mayberry." When the show went off the air, they went back to using "The Andy Griffith Show." Once in a while, TV stations (and some video tape manufacturers) re-use an old print that has the "Andy of Mayberry" title at the beginning. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 12:47:50 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #55 For Ron When CBS started showing TAGS reruns on their daytime line-up they used ths name "Andy of Mayberry" I apologize for my last post that included all my html code; it was late, I was sleepy and my finger slipped. Now just to share a few things with ya'll... my wonderful husband Elvisfife (a combonation of 2 very cool guys) was not a very big fan of TAGS when we first met. But as you other womanfolk out there know, we have to whip our men into what we want them to be. So after about 3=B9/=B2 years of work, he is a great part of our TAGSRWC chapter and holds his own in Mayberry trivia. But I really knew that I had done my job Friday night. My stepdaughter's school held a Father/Daughter dance. I made a silk wrist corsage for Elvisfife to give to her. When the time came, he gave her the corsage and said "A girl like you ought'en not go to a dance unadorned"!!! He made me proud!!! Other news. Our chapter of TAGSRWC, the Opie chapter had a meeting last night (Saturday) It was at my apartment and as those of you who know me, I like to do things BIG! The theme for the night was Morelli's Restaurant. Evisfife and I greeted the members dressed in matching chef hats and aprons. True to the show, we transformed our apartment into Morelli's right down to the checkered tableclothes, candles on the tables, and the window in the kitchen where you could see the chef pounding the steak! Everyone got a soveneir polaroid of themselves with the chef and his pounding mallet looking out from the kitchen. Oh and the food! Aunt Bee couldnt have done better! We had pounded steak, mashed potatoes, tossed salad, Italian bread, minestone, (it's really something when it's done right) and shrimp cocktail. (we decided to fill up!) and for dessert we had a de-lish cake that said "Happy Valentine's Day Cream Puff". Everyone earned an Opie door knob hanger by singing the theme song of a classic TV show whose name they pulled out of a hat. The apartment was filled with the sounds of the "Beverly Hillbillys", "All in the Family", "The Brady Bunch" and other favorites. We looked at my website as some of our members do not have internet access. We played trivia ( the Mayberry Board game) for little prizes, the funniest being a sign that you hang from your doorknob. It had a picture of Rafe Hollister and it said "I'm out a-checking on my stills; ya'll come on back later!". A good time was had by all. For those of you in out there in the Opie chapter who could not attend, we missed you but enjoyed eating your share of the food! :-) Hope ya'll will make it next time!

Anderson) Subject: Mayberry RFD I just received my latest "Bullet" and it mentioned that there were back to back episodes of Mayberry RFD on TBS from 7:00-8:00 ETS. But when checking our local tv listings and TBS at those times, it wasn't there. Does anyone have any info on this or was the infomation in the Bullet a mistake? Sure would appreciate an answer to this question ASAP. Would hate to be missing the episodes if they are indeed on somewhere. Hey to you and yours.
