Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #88 Nabor's comment Re: New Trivia Game Questions Quote of the Day Gomer at least we see the epilogues, though parts are edited ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 20:01:04 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: trivia questions In response to Ellen Kuber's note about trivia questions for TAGS, I think if a person does have a question for a trivia game (which I also agree would be great), it would be neat to identify who came up with the little trivia bit. It might also get a lot of people getting their thinking caps on. Get ready for Miss Crump's quiz as in the "Bullet". ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 20:52:00 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Otis missing on the TVLand Special Hey Gang, I really loved the TVLand Insiders Special, but I was really disappointed that they didn't mention Hal Smith or Denver Pyle and "the family". They did show a few short scenes of Hal. I loved him so much and I really think they could have mentioned him. He brought so much to the show and I could not think of TAGS without his character. Well I guess we can't have everything. Can't wait until this weekend!! Our VCR is ready to go! Happy Motoring!

Didn't really learn anything new, but it was still fun to see a few behind the scenes clips. Noticed two things........Andy appears to have gained a lot of weight since Matlock....hope he's in good health. Also, although Hal Smith was shown in a few clips....no mention was actually made of him. Other than those two things, I thought it was good. Would liked to have seen some interviews with George Lindsey and a few more...........oh well. Got to be happy with what you get.

It began with E! Entertainment Channel and their "True Hollywood Stories". Then, Entertainment Tonight began airing pretty much the same shows, with perhaps one of two "new" things. Biography airs another version of it also. And now, TV Land seems to be getting into it. It's not just tags -- but many old shows .... same basic footage but each network seems to get one or two exclusive pieces to it.

How many times has that happened to well meaning and helpful people? It is not the recognition and credits with their names that means the most, it is the fact that the game people will make money off other's free help. Sorry but true.!Hey from Branson | ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 22:44:25 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #88 One last comment about credit, etc., for trivia questions for the game. Some people are concerned/unhappy about the fact that the game company will make a bunch of money at the "expense of the fans." The fact is, they are going to come up with a 1000 new questions whether we contribute them or not. So, they are going to make their money. I thought people might want to contribute to feel a part of the game and be acknowledged in some way in the game. The game would certainly be more challenging when people who know the show can come up with some good questions. I already told one member (who submitted several hundred questions) that he is certainly entitled to a free game as well as some recognition whether it be individually or as a member of the chapter. What a great contribution by Jeff Koontz who was very accommodating in sharing his questions. Thanks again, we are well on our way to a great new game!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 21:31:32 -0600 From: "Joseph D. Fann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Nabor's comment I thought the TV Land Andy Griffith special was fantastic. I especially enjoyed seeing TAGSRWC President Jim Clark and author Neal Brower relating their views of the show. One thing that really touched me was Jim Nabor's comment that many of the soldiers that we see during the opening credits of Gomer Pyle USMC lost their lives in the Viet Nam war. Sometimes it's easy to forget that during the filming of the show, a real war with real casualties was raging half a world away. I will never again watch the beginning of Gomer Pyle without being reminded of Jim's comment and the ultimate sacrifice made by many of those men pictured.

Thanks to Scott for letting our little corner of Mayberry be a part of the building process!! I know some folks don't like that their questions might make make money for someone else and I can understand that but the easiest way to avoid that happening (if you feel strongly about it) is to not contribute any questions. Scott has been upfront from the start about what the questions would be for and if you choose to send in your trivia questions then you knew upfront what they would be used for. Y'all try not to look at it as not getting credit for your hard work but as a great way to make even MORE Mayberry fun for everybody! There can NEVER be too much Mayberry in this world.

(They both get up) BARN: Where we goin'? ANDY: Down to the drugstore to get some ice cream for later. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 07:35:51 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Gomer I hope someone else saw Gomer last night. It seems a movie producer was going to the base to find a platoon of Marines who could sing as a group in one of his movies. Sgt. Carter screened all the guys and found who could and could not sing and came up with a fantastic chorus. Only thing, when Sgt. Carter joined in, the singing was way off key. Starting to sound familiar? The group would find places to practice away from the Sgt., like in the back of a truck or in the freezer, but the Sgt would always find them. Gomer finally told Carter his voice was the bad one, and he got so upset and screaming so loud he lost his voice. Gomer thought he should be included in the group when they auditioned, so he told the Sgt to just move his lips and they would do the singing and no one would know the difference. When it came time for the Sgt's solo part, he stood out front of the group moving his lips and Gomer held his book in front of his face and sang the Sgt's part. Does any or all of this sound familiar at all? By the way, the song they rehearsed a lot was number 14. Close!! Great show and I hope someone else saw all this fantastic connection to TAGS.

You know, on some of TAGS , the epilogue actually "made" the show! Like when Mr. Tucker was there on the porch, asleep, with that peeled apple in his hand...and it was in ONE piece! I still get a tight throat every time I see THAT epilogue!!!A few years ago, maybe 9 or 10, TBS actually had a mayberry- athon and during superbowl sunday showed TAGS, advertised as "UNCUT" . Full of commercials...BUT uncut(so to speak). I remember Barney saying to "watch out for the cat", or something like that . I still have a couple of video tapes of that day! If I can find it, I will relive some of my favorites! It takes sooooooooo much time to edit and make another, commercial-free tape, but.....one of these days...I just might do that!"Hey", from Branson, Missouri | ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #89 **************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
