It'll be called 'Mayberry,' with Tim playing Sheriff Andy and David reprising Don Knotts' role as Barney Fife. Stay tuned!" Has anyone else heard about this? >> No No - Say it isn't so. This is sacrilege !!! Now - I'm NOT breaking Rule #2 because I'm not saying this about Mayberry characters - but I DO NOT like Tim Allen. I don't think he's funny at all and he'd have a lot of nerve trying to fill Andy Taylor's Wellington's. I guess I live under a rock because I don't know who David Spade is but I'll bet I won't like him either. Now if you want to beat me to death with your parasol - go ahead. I said it and I ain't takin' it back neither.

I was about to play the organ for a funeral, and a lady I know who also is an organist said she'd sit in the back by me. I was joking with her and said, "Well, if I have to run out, you can take over!" And SHE laughed and (jokingly) said, get this, "Sure, Mike!" Well, I wanted to ask her right then and there where that phrase originates from but didn't have a chance (she doesn't watch the show so it didn't come from there). I just thought it neat that a rather obscure phrase from the show, the origin of which is unsure, at least as far as I know, showed up today in everyday life! --Marsha in Wisconsin (Elinora Poultice at TAGS internet sites) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 14:17:23 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy and Don >Two questions. In real life did Andy have any children ? Did Don Knotts ever marry? Andy Griffith and his first wife Barbara had two children, both adopted. Son Sam Andy Griffith is now deceased; I believe their daughter Dixie is still living. Don Knotts has been married twice. He has a son named Tom and a daughter named Karen (see photo in the newest Bullet). Karen is an actress who sometimes works with her dad. She played Opie's secretary in "Return to Mayberry." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 16:51:11 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "over at the hotel...duces wild, no limit" I was just watching one of my many tapes of TAGS, (thanks to my diligent children, we have most all shows taped, about 20 tapes)...anyway, it was the classic "Sheriff without a gun" episode with Barney Fice and the bank robbery. We noticed that Barney was filling in Fred at the hotel about his "making a splash" and I got to wondering, who actually runs or owns the hotel? Is it the town, or Perhaps our High Society choir director John Masters (who has a reputation in this part of the State) owns it and employs others to run it for him. I have seen J. Masters behind the desk, as well as Fred, whom I mentioned, and Asa and Jason. Any ideas? Just kinda curious, and I'd give one of them little lemon cookies from the diner to find out, (they are goooood too, top it off with a little lemon phosphate and you're in business).

Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS on the Big Screen I have been having a little trouble with my e-mailer and some of this stuff is a little old. Allan Has been helping me get my e-mail problem fixed. Hes a Prince!!! First, thanks to Laura Lee Hobbs for your great posts. They are great fun. And in response to one of her questions about "Dream Dates", I would be torn between three lovely Mayberry ladies. Mary (Sue Ann Langdon) and the county nurse that Barn took up to Rafe's house to give him his shot. I dont remember her real name or her name on the show, except it kinda seems like her name was also Mary but Im not sure. Also guys I haven't heard anyone pick Miss Ellen Brown (Barbra Eden). If yall will remember nature was very very good to her. Those are my picks. A while back we were talking about minor TAGS characters. I think my favorite would have to be the lady (I dont remember her real name) who played Elinora Poltis Barney's voice teacher, ( I just gave you an "A" in breathing) and Big Maude alias Ralph Henderson. Two rolls which required exact opposites not only in acting requirements and style but appearance and the social graces or lack there of. As everyone knows, lately they have been making "Big Screen" movies based upon old programs such as Leave It To Beaver, Lost In Space, Zoro and many others. This got me to begin wondering that if TAGS were made into a movie, who would everyone pick to play the characters both major and minor? Now everyone please dont steel Earnest T's rocks and start throwing them at me as I realize that no one could take the place of the original cast that we all love so much. And I am not even sure we would even want a TAGS movie with orher folks. But If they did, and kinda like "imaginary dates", who would you pick for the TAGS movie cast? Of course our own Allan (Floyd) Newsome and David (Barney) Browning would be the logical place to start. Laura Lee keep watching for that gold truck and dont let it sneak into town without you a knowing it. They can be real sneaky!!!

I for one haven't heard this one but then I usually am not of "An Enquiring Mind Wants To Know" to read this tabloid. I thought Andy had all rights lock stock and barrel of anything to do with TAGS and Mayberry. Would this movie and script have to go through Andy? I personally find this hard to believe that he would sign rights over now for this, especially when movies remaking shows aren't really BIG or blockbusters. The success of remakes to "Leave It To Beaver" and "My Favorite Martian" weren't that BIG. To me they weren't remakes of the show but merely takes on it which, in my opinion, was a vast difference from the quality of the original shows. I just can't believe Andy would do this! Ewww...this just doesn't set well for me. I don't wanna see this in my part of Mayberry...anyone want my ticket? Rathering keep tabs on Aunt Bee's pickles and even DINE on one of them! Happy Easter!

The Gold Truck Watcher said: >That pea in the whistle thing. How do you get that sucker out? And >just how many times do you have to blow on a whistle before it stops >whistling? I've got some old, old whistles and they still whistle. >Just >how many times did Barney blow on that thing anyway? And what >was he >blowing at? Jaywalkers? The only jaywalkers he ever mentioned >were Aunt >Bee and Emma. Interesting question. How many times can you remember Barney blowing his whistle?
