I think this is a great opportunity for many of our members to show how much they know about this show. Often times people will find others to do their work and then take credit for it. It will be nice if the maker of the trivia game gives each of our contributors credit for the question/answer on the card.

I am responding to Ellen Kuber's concern over giving credit for the free brain power that the members would be supplying for donating the trivia questions for the new TAGS trivia game. I could defiantly pursue something with the game company to, for example, have the contributors names be mentioned somewhere on the box. Is this a good idea? Do you have another suggestion? I agree whole heartedly that the authors should get credit. Do we credit the entire WBMUTBB chapter? I think we have all the bargaining power here. Let me know and I will pursue it. I will then keep everyone posted on what is going on. In the meantime keep em coming!!!

They aren't the best drawings, but they are TAGS. The address is: http://www.screensandthemes.com/Previews-Downloads/Icons/television/Andy-Griff ith-Show.shtml If that doesn't work just go to screensandthemes.com and choose icons.

Sounds like we'd be supplying the means for them to make money through little effort on their part. When Jim produced those cookbooks he gave a free volume to all the contributors. Once when I was asked to do an article for some obscure Mayberry publication, the publisher didn't even have the good grace to thank me much less offer me a free subscription even though he included it in the next issue and sent me a copy (along with a plea to subscribe). I'm always thrilled to hear of new Mayberry products and/or memorabilia and I hate to make a moulage out of it but I resent anybody trying to take advantage of us or further their own career on our "fandemonium!"

It's Laura Lee Hobbs here. The wedding's over, and it was beautiful, with dozens of people having to stand, but all of us having a wonderful time. My son and his new bride were both lovely! I still haven't got TVLand yet. Got a channel receiving old soap operas, yeah that's right--reruns of something called "Ryan's Hope" and old, old episodes of "One Life to Live," but no TVLand with TAGS. Can you believe my luck? It's enough to make me and Lydia both cry, and you all know how much Lydia hates to cry. She doesn't mind a sigh now and then, or an occasional composed sniffle, but she hates to cry. But what's a girl to do when she is tested beyond her endurance? Well, now that the party is over, it's back to doing what I was born to do: working in the dime store and keeping out an ever watchful eye for those gold trucks. Talk to you later.

If you could help me find one of these plates I would forever appreciate it Greg >> Greg, those plates turn up on eBay from time to time. The one with Andy's portrait was the first in the series, and it is pretty hard to find nowadays. If you do find one, expect to pay at least $100 for it. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 22:51:02 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TVLand Shows I just got TVLand...finally! My question is, these TAGS shows on here are all supposed to have the original endings on them, right? Are they supposed to be totally uncut? The reason I ask is because I saw the one tonight about Opie and his birds, and when Barney was doing his "bird talk" they cut out the part where he does the "Here comes a cat!" and "Let's fly away!" "Okay!" What's the deal with that?

There are four different scenes depicted from the show. Hey - if Lucy fans can have checks, what about Andy fans? I know I would order TAGS checks if they were available. What about it, Allan? Is such a pipe dream possible?

I just found this on the TV Land TAGS site and thought those of you with TV Land (we haven't gotten there yet!) might not want to miss it! Sure wish I could see it! "If you liked Inside TV Land: The Honeymooners, then you'll love the second installment of our great, new Inside TV Land series, Inside TV Land: The Andy Griffith Show on Tuesday, March 21 at 10 PM ET/PT.

Yesterday our cable went out. It was out again today, so I called and was told by the nice (HA!) lady at the cable company that it was our turn to have our area fitted with those fiber optic things that would be bringing all kind of new channels in (like that band new soap opera channel we already have). She said we would likely have interruptions up to three days, but I figured ANYTHING would be worth it as long as I ended up with TVLand. I was all atingle when I asked if by Wednesday I could be watching TVLand and TAGS. But guess what? While TVLand is the number one most requested channel, and we were all told it would be coming in this March, we are now being told it will be sometime this summer before it comes in. Is that a dirty trick or what? Our cable rates, of course, have increased significantly. I part with you, dear friends, in the words of our beloved Mr. Briscoe Darling as he once spoke so exquisitely of that dear but often rascally Ernest T. Bass, "We thought of killing him, but kind of hated to take it that far." (That's exactly the way me and Lydia feel about the cable people.)

I always enjoyed 'em and I hope you will as well. - -- Allan ******QUOTE OF THE DAY******* ANDY: This is good, Rodger. What is it? ROGER: It's Baked Alaska. ANDY: I don't believe I ever heard of it. BARNEY: Sure you have, Andy. You just forgot. That's Baked Alaska.
