I am fairly sure the man leaving Mayberry with his "complimentary" jar of
Aunt Bee Pickles was headed to Portland, Oregon. Barney doesn't mention
Oregon but I believe he referred to the pickles going all the way to the
other coast. Any way the man went to Maine or Oregon, it will surely take
the pickles outside the Mayberry radius and Aunt Bee's detection!

Wrong Portland. Barney comments to the motorist, "I see by your license
plates you're from Oregon."

Those models are made by a guy named Bob Robinette. I haven't seen the
actual cars close up, but from the photos, his work looks excellent. He's
been working on a replica of my own squad car for me. To get his email
address, just go to the page for that eBay auction and click "ask seller a
question."

Subject: Allan's right!
As usually, Allan was right about Parnell Rigsby's address. Now, for the
$125,000 question, what...........no, wait, that's another show. Anyway,
we know Parnell lives in Bannertown because Barney reads that in the
newspaper ad about the missing money. Then when Andy takes the money to
Parnell, Andy parks beside the mailbox which clearly shows Parnell's name
and RFD #1.

Keith: Hmmmm.....You may be right. It might be Portland, Maine. I guess I
always assumed it was Portland, Oregon. Perhaps, because that's where my ex
was from. I'll have to watch the video again and see if he specifies but I
don't think he does. I wonder how many other states have a Portland ...
Anybody on the list care to clue us in? As a journalist, I should know
better than to ever assume ... but then I was an Andy fan, long before I was
ever a journalist. Still with this kind of reporting, I'll never advance to
the Mayberry After Midnight Column. Don't take any wooden nickles. Skippy.

Subject: Barney's embibement
I can think of five times when Barney got "loose on the juice": The
Governer's Car, Keeper of the Flame, Otis Sues the County, Up in Barney's
Room, and The Darling Baby. Does anyone know of any other time he partook of
the devil's brew? (Don't count the class reunion where he just assumed that
the punch was spiked).

I have a problem with Tom Lawrence's comments about all the negative things
that were mentioned in Mayberry. I am a "christian" but have never thought
of TAGS as a totally "christian" show. Sure, all of those things were
mentioned in various episodes but none of them were constant fixtures on the
show or were main themes like in most of the garbage that's on TV today.
Also, the shows weren't about the problems as much as they were about how
Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee, Opie, or all the others solved the problems and
showed the wonderful "christian" attributes in their concern for one another.
Even in todays world, how could these wonderful aspects of the show be shown
if there weren't different 'situations' that needed some love and concern to
correct them.
I,m sorry if this message breaks any rules but I remember a message from
Allan to try to keep the topics off "christianity" or religion and on TAGS
and I think that applies here also. Just as someone can be offended but
pushing "christianity" in their face, people (me especially!!) are offended
by the pushing of non-christian things or "christian" bashing on them.

Subject: He's everywhere! , You found him, Joe to Joe
Had to share with you a Barney Fife headline in Sunday's Indianapolis Star.
"Barney Fife Would Be Irate" was the headline that caught my eye.
The column was a compilation of things going on in the city of Indianapolis,
host of the NCAA men's basketball Final Four.
The two reporters noted that the many visitors to Indy were behaving
themselves except for the fact that "Jaywalking is Rampant"... Well they
didn't say it in Barney's words, but they did note that basketballs fan
seem to be strolling across streets at will, and that local Police are
looking the other way, though If Barney were here, he would have a
ticket-writing fest.
Who knows though, he could have come in on that Macon Bus with all the other
North Carolina fans...Maybe he's working hotel security, or seeing if IPD is
up to his standards in the fingerprint department. The man of many
disguises could be right here in the big city.
Thanks for the "duckwalking" sighting. For you new newer members, the group
started a few months ago helping me tally up the times that our favorite
deputy used that squatting, scooting move, that only a skinny deputy can do.
See The Shoplifter, and the New Doctor episodes, among others for that deft
display of Deputy duck-walkin'. (newspaper episode added, Thanks)
>> I just got to thinking that if some
smart young fella or gal COULD write such a script, then another
bright young gal or fella who had one of them fancy new
computers and a good set of the Andy Griffith show on DVD, might be able to
cut and splice (is that the right term?) a whole new black-and-white show!
Wouldn't that be wonderful?<<<(from Joe Fly)
Fellow Joe, that's a brilliant concept. (splicing scenes) Having dabbled in
writing a few lost episodes I am intrigued by the possibility. I don't know
if I have enough script in my head to make it happen (and I don't have any
written out) My first thought is that it would be really choppy, jumping
from scene to scene, different characters, different wardrobes etc. I could
be under-estimating modern technology...but I'm no "smart young fella" "I'm
may be ugly, but I ain't stupid" though.
An alternative to your idea that would be easier, and every one could do,
would be to take two or more famous quotes and put them together. like this:
"Paw, just what can you do with a grown women?"
"Go over the Thelma's Lou's...Watch a little 'quote' TV with the lights off"
"Barney why do you want to go to the Duck Pond at night when you can't see
the ducks"
"I hate the outdoors" "I Hate the guitar" "I hate chit chat"
"She's Nice, Real Nice!"
OK, you mix the dialogue now

Subject: Pornography in Mayberry????
In reference to Tom Lawrence's post about Mayberry being "all-to-often"
portrayed as a Christian show and that there were references to pornography
at least 2 or 3 times, I don't seem to remember any references like that at
all. Yes, there were references to wife beating, arson, alcohol and such,
but the "P" word. Come on! I really think that's stretching things a
little. Also, I like the fact that they were all Christians or at least
church goers. In little towns, now and then, especially in the South, the
church is a vital place or it is in my little town in Texas. Exactly which
episodes are we talking about?
