Looking for a Mayberry Village Piece ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 15:24:53 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry snacks If it's a snack you are looking for you can't go wrong with cashew fudge. You know, that's what Barney and Thelma Lou had between them while watching "that doctor show on TV". Dixon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 15:26:11 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry date My choice for a Mayberry date? Well, I am attracted to smart, funny, independent, classy--and beautiful--women. My choice would therefore be Elly Walker. Dixon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 15:36:04 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Emmett the fix-it man Hey all, Emmett only appeared in the color episodes...He was apparently added to the cast when Howard McNear cut back his appearances as Floyd, for health reasons. Dixon "You know, Andy, our only crime is that we're attractive to women." - --Barney Fife ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 14:38:31 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: you can't get far without the railroad >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >I have a question about the railroad. In the early episodes, the only mass transit in & out of town was the bus. In >later episodes there is a train station & a train. > Mayberry did have trains during the first season -- freight trains, at least (perhaps passenger service wasn't available until later). One early episode to mention the railroad is "Andy the Matchmaker." Barney goes down to the tracks and finds Tracy Crawford prowling around down there. Other black and white episodes with trains are "Opie's Hobo Friend" (from the sound, they must have still been using old-fashioned steam trains) and "If I Had a Quarter-Million." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 14:41:31 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Emmett >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >It's funny, but every time I watch a re-run it never seems to have Emmett on. Then I'll go to work and someone >will advise that they saw him the night before. Is there some trick I'm missing or just unlucky? Emmett Clark appeared only during the eighth season (he replaced Floyd the barber). If the station you usually watch shows only black and white episodes, you'll never see him. Maybe your friends catch the reruns on a different channel? - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 15:47:48 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Previous question According to The Definitive AGS Reference book, Ralph Bell played special agent William Upchurch in the cow thief episode. (I like my moulages light and fluffy so I add whipped egg whites!) Almost any cassette tape or CD of Andy's various routines, etc. will have the fishing song on it, except for his gospel recordings. By the way, I have written to Sparrow urging them to do an album of Ange and Barn harmonizing (remember that episode where they were singing "Sinners Lose All Their Guilty Stains" in harmony while filing in the courthouse and it was so pretty?!). They said they're working on it but it wouldn't hurt for more fans to contact them and plead too. Aunt Bee of Orlando ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 15:34:16 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Romeena Hello everyone, Actress Jackie Joseph (Romeena) had quite a career. I wonder how many of you remember her as Audrey, Seymour's girlfriend in "Little Shop of Horrors"? (Which co-starred another TAGS guest star...Jack Nicholson.) She also happened to be the voice of Melody, she of the wiggling ears, in the Saturday morning animated classic "Josie and the Pussycats".

First, me and Lydia want to say thanks for all the emails sent to us about your "mystery dates." But some of the funniest have come to us, and not the Digest. Come on, folks, get over your shyness, and start publishing! There's a wealth of talent out here, just getting wasted and unnoticed. Phfftt, you know who I'm talking to. Now, for my latest problem. Have I been sitting out in the sun too long (I know this can't be Lydia's problem seeing as she's allergic to the sun and all), but I seem to have a vague memory of Andy and Helen getting married and going on a honeymoon. Maybe this was the pilot episode of the Mayberry RFD series, I don't know. Anyway, the real foggy memory is of Andy and Helen apparently on their honeymoon, sitting on a balcony, Andy playing his guitar & singing to Helen; then the camera pans back and all of a sudden--big as life--there sits Barney! Yes, siree, right there on the honeymoon with them, buttin' in as usual! So, is my memory right? Am I completely bonkers this time (recall that I thought he and Helen had a baby girl)? Help me out here, good people. My memory often plays tricks on me. I remember that on the colored episodes, Opie carried a string of fish and dropped one in the opening credits--could this be what y'all were talking about recently? I recall that this is the way the colored show's credits were shown, over this new, older & in color image of Opie and Andy fishing--but no one else seems to remember this, and it's been way too many years since I have seen a colored episode to be sure myself. But I think what Paul was talking about was the ending credits and the way that ending featured the advertiser's's logo on the screen, and had nothing to do with the opening credits. Right? I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead. Mrs. Wiley's party-- Barney: "Every woman here is a dog." Andy: "Barney, that ain't nice!" Barney: "Andy, it's the truth. If you flew a quail in here, every woman here would point! Laura Lee Hobbs, pointing out towards 123 S. Ozark, on the look-out not necessarily for quails, but I'll get one if they're in season, but for gold trucks always, they never go out of season ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 19:43:47 CDT From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Jack Who To all those who called, emailed, wrote, or hollered, I got all your messages. It's Jack Nicholson, who's the award winning actor, and not Jack Nicholas, the golfer, who guest starred on TAGS and who was who I meant for my mystery date. I guess that's why Annette is expecting his fourth child now, and I'm still out receiving gold trucks..."There's a gold truck a-coming and me and you and Gomer and Laura Lee Hobbs are gonna be there to receive it."

Go to http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ and click on music. The cd 'American Originals' is the one that has that song & others. It's goood! Happy motoring, David ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 23:00:55 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry Dream Date Laura Lee poses an intriguing mental exercise for us.....who would our Mayberry dream date be? Well, I got a bucket out of the janitor's closet down at the Safari Lounge and took myself a good long think. I have decided that I would go out with Gomer. Why, you may ask? Well, I have a few reasons: 1) Gomer is a snazzy dresser...silver buckles on his shoes, acorns on his tie B) Gomer would never let me go to a dance unadorned 3) Gomer could serenade me 4) Gomer would probably fix my car for free 5) It would be easy to know where I stood with Gomer; if he kissed me square on the jaw I would know we was engaged 6) And last but not least, Gomer was probably the sweetest boy what was ever grown! think I'll go down to the gas station for a bottle of Gomer, er, uh, I mean pop! ~the groovy MissPoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000 09:42:15 CDT From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Jack Who? Re: Mystery date-- Jack Nicholson/Warren Beatty Yeah, yeah, yeah, I goofed again. It's Warren Beatty (not sure if that's even how you spell his name, but you all know who I mean); anyway, Warren is married to Annette and they have four children. Jack Nicholson DID have a guest role on TAGS, and he is the one I was having my mystery date with because I'm a fickle, no good woman! Doggone Me! I should have stayed with my true love, Briscoe, and then I could have avoided all this confusion, but noooooooo. Had to have a little excitement in my life. A little danger. I ought to know I can't handle anything more exciting that the expectation of a gold truck coming through. Please, forgive me, Mr. Darling, and Lydia, for goodness sakes, PASS THAT BUCKET!

(I don't get out very much). I wish there was a TV channel where you could watch Mayberry everyday, 24 hours a day, I love it just that much. Thanks to videos I guess that's possible this day and age. Was thankin' and thankin' the other day (without the bucket) a way in which I could find a piece to my Mayberry Village that Hawthorn put out, then discontinued, (bet they got a rude...). I have the complete village set, except for "Barney's Sidecar." I'd do just about anything to find it, so if any of you good folks know of one out there that someone might be willing to part with, know it would be hard to do though, I would be ever so grateful if you'd let me know.. I'm just a glutton...glutton...gluttttt..tonnnnn...for the best TV show that ever was or will be...Love live the Andy Griffith Show!!! By the way, my favorite episode is "Three Wishes for Opie"....that Barney's a card!!!
