Although my favorites are the black and white episodes, some of the color
episodes i adore. Some seem to have a message in them. One I especially love
I saw the other night when Opie and this other boy vied for a job in a
grocery store. Very poignant. And Andy was especially cranky in that one!
Just goes to show ya.
Hi to you and yours, Lucy

Subject: my favorite color episode
As someone who's been on this list for a few years now, I'm thrilled that
many of our more recent members appreciate the color episodes of TAGS. Many
fans are hostile toward the color shows, and while I agree that Barney's
absence is damaging, the final three seasons of TAGS are often very
enjoyable. Since they aren't aired as often as the five B&W seasons,
sometimes stumbling across a color TAGS is like finding a "lost episode."
My absolute favorite color episode of TAGS is "Howard the Comedian."
Howard's televised standup routine included some very funny barbs at his
friends' expense (the best: Mayberry's three forms of communication being
"telephone, telegraph, and tell Floyd").

Subject: Andy's Girls
Well everybody else is talking about who they would have been
after if they had lived in Mayberry, there is very little doubt in my mind
who I thought was the over all best. Now the one I would pick wasn't one of
the girls after Andy not that they weren't all good lookers and all. I like
Andy seen to find some little something in all of them that just made me not
want to spend the rest of my life with them. No sir I think for sure my
favorite girl was Thelma Lou, Barney's Girl. She was everything you could
want in a woman, she not only was very attractive, she had a good sense of
humor, always was a forgiving soul and just a plain old down to earth good
girl. She'd be just fine with me any day. Jimbo "Dr. Pendyke" Seay

Hey Everybody,
This is my first time posting a message in the digest so I hope I'm
doing it right. Anyway, here's my question: Why is it that, almost
invariably, whomever is driving the patrol car enters and exits by the
passenger-side door, sliding across the seat, rather than using the
driver-side door? I noticed the same thing on an episode of Superman on
TVLand this weekend. Maybe its a silly question, but I hadda ask. Anyway,
I've enjoyed the few short weeks I've been a member. Keep up the good work.
Adios Amigo (Is he one of ours?),
Hog Winslow
Gomer to Andy, after having been fired from his job at Wally's filling
station: "The market is advertising for an experienced butcher. I'm going
over there to talk to them right now."
Andy(with a surprised look): "You know anything about cutting meat, Gomer?"
Gomer: "You think they'll ask me that?"

Vicki, that is a good 'un. I happened to catch a Matlock "movie"
on TBS this AM that made me think about Mayberry. Andy, as Ben
Matlock was telling his daughter about the secret to his gooooood
spaghetti sauce, which he had learned from the chef of a five
star restaurant. "Don't use too much oregano" was the secret
this time. I guess all those dinners at eight can sour a man on
that little green spice.

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!
Hey- how about Otis' version- "Slow it down and let me in or I'll go out
and get some gin"? To which Barney replies with the classic "Cut it out
Otis!!" Well, I guess that particular rhyme isn't appropriate for 3 and
5 year old girls, not to mention middle-aged town drunks, but it's
pretty funny.

Subject: Color Episodes/Therapetic Viewing
I was reading through Digest #115 and I'd like to respond to
Linda, the Texas Goober.
I thought I was the only person who turned off the color! It IS
psychological, and VERY therapetic-it really does make a difference.
When it's starts getting to me and I turn off the color, I can almost
FEEL my blood pressure going down!
My favorite color episodes are Goober Makes History, where
Goober grows a beard and a brain simultaneously, and Man's Best Friend,
where Opie and a bratty from-out-of-town kid put a tiny walkie talkie
under Goober's dog's collar and convince him the dog can speak (Goober's
dog's name is Spot, but I think he's the infamous Blue-he got the first
name because he didn't have any blue in his coat, I believe).
Your Mayberry Friend,

*****Quote of the Day*****
BARN: Look at the deductions! This tax! There's nothing left, for
heaven's sake! Barney Sucker, that's who it ought to be made out to!
ANDY: Oh, Barney.
BARN: Yeah, that's me, Barney SUCKER! It's open season on Barney Fife!
C'mon everybody, let's all take a bite out of Barney Fife!
ANDY: Now, c'mon!
BARN: Good ol' Barney Fife--he makes it, he's got it, let's take it!
ANDY: Just simmer down. You know what they say, you can't take it with you.
BARN: Take it with me? They keep nibblin' at me like this, I'll be lucky
to go myself!
