Subject: Just a wishin
You know I have been blessed by the Lord so many different ways that I can't
even begin to count them. Everything I have ever wanted or needed it seems
like the Lord has provided me and my family with, especially love and
happiness, and as Gomer would say "thems the main things there" and he would
be right. But if I could have ever made one change in my life it would have
been to just have been able to be on at just at least one of the Andy
Griffith shows. I can't think of any job in the whole wide world that I
would have enjoyed or loved more. Jimbo "Dr. Pendyke" Seay

Subject: It's OK in Mayberry to Watch Color Episodes
There''s been some discussion in this digest lately about the color episodes
so I guess I'd better say SOMETHING about it - so's not to disappoint anybody
- - I mean it IS important what the Texas Goob has to say. Anyway, I am one
devout AG fan who actually enjoys the color episodes and, if I get in a slump
about them, I just turn the color off (it's psycological and also
therapedic).
A few of the episodes I'm partial to are "Dinner at Eight" (what a great plot
- - the spaghetti story) , "Emmet's Anniversary" (talk about a foul up - woah),
"Mind Over Matter" (Goober THINKS he is injured and stays at Andy's until he
is "healed"), "The Darling Fortune" (Rodney Darling and Helen - holee
molee!!!!) "Goober's Replacement" (with sweet little Flora). These are just
a few of my favorites in the color category. If you haven't seen them all
then I feel you have been cheated and should sue somebody. Maybe you could
get Otis lawyer from Mount Pilot.

Hey Folks,
I just wanted to remind everybody that we need to keep religion in-check just
a little bit here on the Digest. While I think a casual mention in
conversation is fine, I think we might take it a little too far from time to
time. Talking about going to church where they're teaching a class on
Mayberry is good but let's just not go too far with it. I think that's
enough said on that.
One thing, for those that want to be a part of a prayer list made up of just
WBMUTBB members....there is a WBMUTBB Prayers & Praises mailing list. I run
it manually so just email me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask to be added to
the list. Let's keep most of our "being thankful" and stuff on that mailing
list.
Thanks for understanding.

nodding,
acknowledging cheering crowd. He walks up and shakes Regis hand, and sits
down in hotseat.)

paper.)

the
"relationship chair" behind Barney)
Thelma Lou: BARNEY FIFE! You promised me you wouldn't call her any more!
Regis: Sarah, hold on a minute...Barney, this is your girlfriend Thelma
Lou, right.

Eleanora: Yes it is. Who's this?

and
waves to the TV camera.)
