OK, everybody, let's sing along and make sure that last note is flat.

In reply to "Quiet Sam", I certainly do remember the combo Merv
Griffin/Andy Griffith episode of SCTV. SCTV is one of my all time
favorites. I hadn't seen the show in years, but last year NBC ran reruns
of it.
Don't y'all out there think that it is a scream that two of Mayberry's
ladies are named Juanita ? Am I right, wasn't the mayor's daughter named
Juanita also. Did the "diner" Juanita ever appear on the show. Or was
she best left to the imagination.

Subject: Self-Serving TAGS Spotting
TAGS fans,
If you go to http://www.burtcottage.com/cottage.html you will see one
of Mayberry's primary characters that never once got mentioned in the
credits: the front porch. The cartoon originally was going to feature the
two characters sitting on a park bench, but then I decided to have them on
a front porch. Then they wound up on THE front porch. After my wife saw
it, she asked if the two characters were in heaven because sitting on the
Taylor's front porch would be a little like heaven.
Lotsa Luck to You And Yers,
Sam White

>>> I realize this might be stretching our "keep on the subject" policy
here, but, as a life-long fan of TAGS, I always got a big kick out of that
particular segment of SCTV (which originally ran from 1976-1984). Am I the
only one here who remembers it?
Say "hey" to Goober for me-- "Quiet Sam"
>>>
I remember it! I think the segment was called "The Merv Griffith Show." As
I recall, Rick Moranis played Merv/Andy.
Remember the other one, where Floyd called a mafia hit man? It was not in
the best of taste, but it was very funny, and Eugene Levy's portrayal of
Floyd was brilliant.

Several of you have said how much you miss your daily dose of TAGS because
you don't get TVLand. My suggestion is to switch from cable to a satelite
system.
>>>
I'd like to second Gerald's suggestion. We got a Dish500 system a couple of
weeks ago, and it's terrific! The monthly fee is about the same as what we
used to pay for cable, but we now get ten times as many channels, including
all of the ones our old cable system had.
Right now there's a special on where you can get the complete system AND
professional installation for FREE! Check it out at:

Whoo-boy, that's a good catch, I'm going to check that one out tonite.
I remember seeing the auto trans indicator but didn't notice Barney's
"three on the tree" shifting or equate it with the clutch being on
Wally's list of repairs needed. Paul, did you ever hear this one? I

Subject: How Would Andy Handle It?
As I was reading the digest today, I found Sam White's comments about his
company not recognizing this wonderful day hilarious! As a teacher, I began
to feel I have left something out of my student's education if they don't
know important facts like that. Also, another comment that caught my eye
was the one about the Doug cartoon on Nickelodeon. I've noticed several
Barney Fife characteristics that are similar to the principal, and I guess
that is why I like that show.
I hope this is not deviating too far from TAGS, but upon hearing about
the death of Charles Schultz, I found myself remembering the scene in one
episode where Andy is reading Little Orphan Annie to Opie and Opie was
asking questions about the comic strip. I just wondered how Andy would
handle it when (I am an art and music teacher) a child asked about Mr.
Schultz's death....Just wish I had some words like Andy always seems to
have!

<< It wasn't a mistake in THE BULLET. TNT and TBS move their shows around

Allan --
Actually, what The Bullet reported was that "R.F.D." is now Turner South, not
TNT or TBS. (Turner South ran a Goober Bowl on Super Sunday, which
apparently did pretty well in the ratings.)

Election season is upon us and once again several
prominent Mayberry residents have stepped forward and
are seeking the Presidential nomination!
Ever wonder what Ernest T. Bass might do if he were in
the Oval Office?
Who Otis would appoint Surgeon General?
What Barney would do about crime?

ALSO: Rare FORTY ACRES PHOTOS (as featured in the
11/99 BULLET) are still available! I was told that a
smaller version of one of these photos recently sold
on eBay for $150! (You can get them for MUCH less by

We have three birds here. All of them can talk a
little and they can wolf whistle, but I'm thinking
they may have been dropped a bit early frm the nest if
ya know what I mean - not a single one of them can
whistle a lick.
They're kind and loving and the sweetest birds I
know.... but they cant whistle a lick.
They are beautiful and friendly - I'm not sure if I
would even want them to have any kids - but they cant
whistle -
not a lick!
LOL

Linda - What if Ben Weaver showed up wearing witch hazel? Who knows, him
and Jennifer might have really hit it off. But, as for the flower makin'
machine - I think you still have to 'take an ax and go pow pow pow'.

<< I was saddened to learn of Charles Schultz death on the news today. 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. >>
I too was very saddened to hear of Charles Schulz passing. The two loves of
my life (as far as popular culture goes) have long been Mayberry and Peanuts.
They both have provided (and continue to provide) our world with positive
moral messages and encouragement to keep trying. I like to think when Andy
sat down to read the paper he was checking out Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

Hey Everbody,
I have a question about Richard Kelly's TAGS book and
if I can't get it answered here I'll have to put the
bucket back on my head and have another think.
In the section listing the chapters in the TAGSRWC the
club in Lenoir, NC is named "I Remember Poindexter"
What the heck does that mean. I have watched TAGS
most of my life and consider myself somewhat
knowledgeable but this one has had me stumped since I
read it. If there is an answer, I'm sure it's here.
See you Samoa.
