Subject: Helen Crump
Our Miss Crump seems to generate more ambivalent comments than any
other character.In her defense,my brother and I agree that she had one
of the show's all-time best one-liners,perhaps aided by the fact that it
was so unexpected.I was wondering how many other tagsters share that
opinion.I'll tick-a-lock on the line I'm thinking of for now.

Well now, I took that( not having a leg to stand on) to mean he didn't have a
single reason to lie. That's the way I took it, anyway. Petulla
oblindolla........the petulla oblindolla ain't in the
leg,...................it's in the brain.

Hey, LauraLee...if I come I will bring some of those Mayberry meatballs!
You know, the ones that are 1% meat and 99% bread crumbs? Are there
plenty of potted plants at the Charleston House?! :-)

Hey folks,
For those of you still looking for the Johnny Lightning Mayberry Squad
Car, I've seen 'em at the K-B toystore here in Texarkana. They come packed in
sets of two, and are sold as "Buy One Get One Free" for $4.99. I picked up
one with the Partridge Family bus; others there were paired with the Dragnet
car & the Back To The Future car. Didn't see any Monkeemobiles, though (darn
it).
I've been enjoying all the many responses to my call for favorite quotes!
Keep 'em up! For all the "yadda yadda's", "don't have a cow, man", "I am a
wild and crazy guy", etc. and other tv catchphrases to capture the public's
imagination, nothing beats a good quote from The Andy Griffith Show!

Subject: cuts
>Were the TBS episodes really uncut and complete? My understanding was that
they were.
The answer is yes, SOMETIMES. When TBS ran TAGS marathons, they sometimes
mixed in a few uncut episodes, but generally speaking almost every TAGS
episode ever aired on TBS was cut.
Most of the "store bought" TAGS tapes contain cut-up episodes too, despite
claims on the packaging (the Columbia House tapes are completely uncut, and
by far the best TASG tapes ever produced). If you're not sure whether the
tapes you have contain full episodes, time them. A complete show without
credits or commercials should run 24 1/2 minutes.
A few years ago, Viacom restored the first 42 episodes of TAGS and supplied
pristine copies to both WGN and TBS. On the rare occasions when those
stations broadcast would uncut episodes, they were always from this group
(episode 1 through 42).
TVLand's claim that complete copies of the episodes no longer exist is
false. If Columbia House can come up with complete copies, then why can't
TVLand? I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining; I'm glad they show TAGS
and it's especially nice that they include the epilogues, which many fans
have never seen.

I got ta tell ya folks I know a lot of wonderful good kids and teens and am
so proud of so many of em. Doesn't mean there isn't a some bad ones, just
like we sure have our share of bad adults. To bad we don't hear much about
the good ones in the news today. Having kids watch Andy and writing about it
sounds like a great idea but maybe first we ought to have the grown ups
raisin the kids watch it and write what they have learned. Remember the one
story where Opie stood up to the spoiled kid, it seemed like all the younins
were just awful too and grown up found out how one can make em all look bad.

The way I interpret that response is that TVLand is saying no network
showed ONLY complete uncut episodes. Of course, when TBS did show the uncut
episodes, it was the exception and not the rule. Now, I could be wrong
in my interpretation. It won't be the first time!!

But Floyd, I thought you were "Enterprises". You should have a couple
thousand and then some!! :-)
