Sir, you may call me many things, and the Good Lord knows many people have, but never, ever call me a cheap date! That offends me mightily. Yes, I'll admit to staying out in the sun too long, and perhaps I have taken a few too many pots to the head, (Lord knows I am a nut), but as a woman I still have my pride. And I am a prize worth paying for. Unfortunately, I ain't had all that many bidders lately. Come to think of it, maybe I ought to reconsider and lower my asking price. It couldn't hurt. Call me, Untrained Voice, I'm open to negotiations. Laura Lee Hobbs, gold truck watcher extraordinaire, and good date who's getting less expensive by the hour Barney to Andy, talking about my beloved Lydia: "And there he'll come a-dragging that albatross behind him." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2000 22:41:25 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The Dating Game Hi Folks, My wife and I were watching an old rerun of "The Dating Game" last night on the Game Show Network, and you won't believe who the contestant was...Ronny Howard! He mentioned "The Smith Family," which was a short-lived series he starred in after TAGS (he played a policeman's son on this show, too). The Smith Family aired from 1971 and 1972, so he would have been about 17 at the time. The girl he ended up picking for his date played Alice (of Wonderland fame) at Disney Land. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 07:24:32 -0500 From: David Millard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Entertainment Tonight/Weekend It was wonderful to watch Entertainment Tonight/ Weekend and see Ron Howard & all the cast of " Happy Days " reflecting on their years together, but it was especially touching to see pictures from TAGS & hear Ron make reference to TAGS being a wonderful experience. I think it would be great if " Entertainment Tonight/Weekend " did a TAGS retrospective.........Lotsa Luck to You & Yours. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 08:53:57 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #117 The Tube is a station in Houston that has Andy Griffith reruns. The only bad thing is that it only shows the color episodes during the week. On Sunday afternoon, it does show a B & W episode. It says it is a Screen Gems network, and Viacom owns the rights to Andy Griffith. Do they own this also? Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

The scene early in the show with Andy and Floyd discussing the new guest minister coming and the pros and cons of Rev.Tucker rivals the very funniest Floyd scenes. Also the scene with Andy trying to help Aunt Bea get the wig on when the minister shows up early cracks me up. Thare are alot of great color episodes. You just have to watch them with a little different mind set i.e. Don't over expect.

Just finished up a set here at the Safari Club...kinda slow tonight...I heard tell that a couple of Marine battalions are off on a training exercise, so that would explain it! :-) My favorite color episode is called "Eat Your Heart Out" It's the one where Goober gets a crush on Flora, the new waitress down at the diner. I love the way she serves Andy big ole portions because she has a crush on him, not Goober. And I just crack up when Flora practically throw a pie plate at Helen and the pie looks like Flora had kicked it across the kitchen floor before she put it on the plate!!! And when tasting something yummy, I always try to say, "It's delish!" Now speaking of using TAGS quotes in every day life; I'm sure some of you remember my story of when my hubby, Elvisfife, took his 8 yr old little girl to the dad & daughter dance. He presented her with a wrist corsage I had made and said,"A girl such as yourself shouldn't go to a dance unadorned!" Yes he made me proud! Well I had made some delish white beans and ham at work on Friday and had brought home the leftovers. As we were having dinner, I asked Elvisfife if he was enjoying the beans cause he was so quiet. His answer? "Well, I've had 3 servings; if that ain't a testament to white beans, I don't know what is!!!" I swear, it brought tears to my eyes! And to think when I first met him he didn't even know the license number of the squad car! scared to order pie from Flora ~the groovy MissPoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 10:41:26 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Who do you resemble? After I got to thinking of my fave color episode, I had to watch it! My hubby made the comment that me and Flora looked like we could be sisters! He is right, there is a strong facial resemblance and we have basically the same bone structure. (I just have more meat on my bones than Flora does!) So anyway, I thought it would be interesting if anyone else thinks they resemble a Mayberry character.And I mean on the outside, physical looks, not a kinship of the heart! Heck, we all got that, don't we? Can't wait to hear from ya'll! `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` going down to the bakery to buy some goodies from Millie! ("Howard & Millie" is also a fave color episode of mine!) ~the groovy MissPoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 10:43:02 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: jumprope rhymes Thanks to Aunt Bea of Orlando for replying to me with what I was looking for! I wonder if someone out there in Mayberry land know the words to the jumprope rhymes that Barney used. There were 3 that I know of and the only one that I know the words to is " Call for the doctor". There is another that I have some of the words to and it goes,"my mother your mother lives across the way,every night they have a fight and this is what they say,.........................," I couldnt quite make out the rest of it but when Barn got through one of the townsmen across the street yelled"Hey Barney! You want to come over and play jacks with me later?" There is another one in an epilogue I believe where a state official or someone walks into the sherriffs office with andy and there is Barney jumping rope singing a rhyme.......LOL. I am trying to get these words so my daughters can jump rope with real style! They are only 3 and 5 but already know one of them! Thanks! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 11:15:23 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry bleed-overs on Matlock I've taped a lot of the Matlock shows and last night I was watching one where they were in church for choir practice. Now Andy (I mean Ben) has delighted Mayberry fans by making subtle Mayberry references that only TAGS fans would recognize. This always brings a nodding of heads and smiles at my house. Anyway, in this particular show, they were practicing a song and the choir director nodded to the organ grinder to begin and I was thinking - Wouldn't it have been swell if he had said "Again Hazel". That would have made my day. I don't understand why they don't consult me when they write these scripts. After all, I am Linda - the Goober who helped the comic book writer with his plots - remember that one?

My favorite color episode is The Wedding. Howard's mother weds and moves away. Howard turns the place into a swinging bachelor pad with pillows on the floor, beads and everything. He throws a wild singles party complete with swiss cheese sandwiches and root beer. Emmett, who wasn't invited because he's married, crashes the party and steals the show with his dance routines. This is the episode Terry Garr is in, though only for a few seconds. Al Becker Howard to Emmett: "Go man, go." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 13:15:25 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Interesting TAGS item on eBay I came across this item up for auction at eBay. I would love to have this hanging in my closet. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=306026439 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 11:03:58 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Turn that color off << I have one question, how do you turn them into black and white and remove the color? >> With your TV remote, click on your memu and go to where it says "color" and just turn that sucker all the way to the left which should cut it totally off. That's been my approach to it.

I have one myself. So you, too, can try to make yourself a little taller by hanging around in the closet like Barney.

Jeanne emailed me and told me: ***** "Allan, Yesterday I was called by the producer of "60 Minutes" and told that I'm on the third segment tomorrow night - about halfway through it. My interview with Morley Safer was last summer. (Try as I could, I couldn't work in TAGS.) The segment is not about me. It's about professional speaking. Don't know how long I'll be on or even the "thrust" of the story. If a news story breaks out, the segment could be bumped. In that event, it will be aired on another Sunday. On another note, on April 26th, I have a one hour special on PBS statewide in North Carolina at 8 p.m. It's a funny show, but unfortunately, they cut the TAGS portion which featured me asked an audience member (Barney Chapter member Shelton Fields) to complete sentences from episodes. (He got every one of them right. No surprise if you know Shelton.) The TAGS part is included on the video which will be released the day after the show. You may want to spread the word to WBMUTBB chapter members.... 'specially those in NC. I'd welcome a big viewing audience. Jeanne says Bye." ****** You guys try and catch Jeanne tonight on 60 Minutes!!! Jeanne has been a member for several year and I've had the pleasure of hearing her speak in person and if you have a chance...don't miss it because you'd sure enjoy hearing her for yourself.
