None other than Mr. Maxwell (without his tape recorder). Best I remember, his real name is Hugh Marlow. Several scenes later, Cary and Ginger are checking into the hotel and who is behind the counter but John Masters (Olan Soule). And on another subject, wouldn't you just love to hear the story about Myra Koontz? dan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2000 08:22:58 -0500 From: Don Good <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS Sighting I'm back after a short stint at being exiled from cyber Mayberry. Sometimes these electronal marvels aren''t what they're all cracked up to be. Anyway, being a bona fide North Carolina hick (but not a hick troublemaker), I went to the NASCAR race in Rockingham. One of the many interesting things I saw was a tent advertising a Dukes of Hazard computer game. On duty were the actual actors who played three of the characters, including Sherrif Roscoe (actor James Best, aka our own Jim Lindsay). I didn't get to talk to him, that was reserved for those plunking down $40 for the game. The other actors in character were those who played Cooter and Enis. There was also a pretend Daisy Duke - and boy, whe was indeed a fine actress!!!! (peek-a-boo) *g* "Yeah, I'd say they used a pretty fast lens." Anyway glad to be back.

This morning I saw Betty Lynn again as Janice, Fred McMurrays secretary and also Sally(one of the lady convicts)appeared on MTS as a good humor lady in the hospital, the Mayberry/My Three Sons connection is quite strong in TV Land..............Dave. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 11:31:51 CST From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mt. Airy Newspaper RE: Has anyone noticed Andy reading the Mt. Airy newspaper in the butter and egg man episode? I did, Michael, and I wrote about it, but I got the episode wrong. I thought the Mt. Airy newspaper appeared in the episode when Aunt Bee goes away a few days, leaving Andy and Opie alone to manage the house. I am so glad to learn I'm not the only one to have noticed this paper. It's touches like this that make you know how much Andy appreciated his real home. And, personally, I wonder who in his background was the real Laura Lee Hobbs! Lydia first speaks, to Andy about her name, "It means native of ancient Greece. But that's not where I'm from. I'm from Greensboro." And this Laura Lee Hobbs is from Taylorsville, MS., and I'm not too sure what that means, but I bet it's something nice.

But I wanted to ask, do y'all notice how whenever Andy's outside his pants leg is stuck in his boot. When he comes inside the pants are back to normal.

Maybe he was singing acapella. How does that go again? Acapella! Acapella! - catchy. - -Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 20:14:56 GMT From: "Doug & Maria Largent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: cabbage I usually don't chew my cabbage twice, but I will repeat my question. I noticed in the credits of "Mr. McBeevee" Harvey Bullock's writing partner is listed as R. Allan Saffian but in Neal Brower's book Mayberry 101 he is always referred to as Ray Saffian Allan. Which is correct? or is one a pen name? Excuse my twice chewing. Maria PS Brian says hey. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2000 16:07:32 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Thelma Lou's resume As David mentioned, Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou) played Steve Douglas' secretary on "My Three Sons". Well, she was also Uncle Bill's secretary on "Family Affair". ~the groovy MissPoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 22:33:15 -0500 From: Randy Everette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Gomer Pyle, USMC is alive and well As I drive to work around 5:30 am every work day, I've been listening to a local radio station which has both a man and woman dual-hosting the morning show. Each day they play a sound bite from "Gomer Pyle, USMC", ostensibly to get people wp and moving along the way to work, this is where Gomer says "Come on you knuckleheads, move it, move it, move it!". I think it's kinda neat. Randy Everette ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 01:16:50 -0800 From: poochina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Gomer visits Mayberry I just stayed up until 1 am to watch the Gomer Pyle episode when Gomer visits Mayberry. I had never seen it before, and I greatly looked forward to it. MAN, was I disappointed. It was just terrible. They were ALL out of town camping. Now when did Aunt Bee start camping anyway. Even Goober was camping with the Taylors, now does that make sense. Don't y'all think that Gomer should have called first. I think a much better episode would be if everyone was home of course, and Gomer brought Sgt. Carter with him. Now that would be a scream!! I would love to see Sgt. Carter outraged by the Mayberry laid-back attitude, ala "Man in a Hurry".

Doug and Maria Largent asked whether my late partner was Ray Allen Saffian or Ray Saffian Allen. In fact, his real name was Morris Saffian.. He changed that to Ray Allen (because his then partner was Stan Burns...and thus the two could call themselves "Burns and Allen!"when they tried to get work. Crazy!) When he came to California, there was another writer on the books Named "Ray Allen" which made things confusing. So he changed to "Ray Allen Saffian" Then to shorten it a bit he amended to R.S.Allen. But you'll see all the names appearing in credits during the time he worked, I have to take this opportunity to say he was the closest friend I ever had, a joy to partner with.
