As those of you who read the Bulletin Board know, I've posted a couple of queries there...and have heard nothing. My experience is that this game calls answers, that I KNOW to be correct, wrong. Kinda takes the fun out of a trivia game! >> Hey To All! Sorry I didn't hear ya askin! I bought this game from WalMart around Christmas time. I have downloaded it and played it a time or two but to be honest, I have experienced this same thing. It got to the point where the guy being the MC just got downright annoying telling me I was wrong when I knew some of my answers he said were wrong were right. In some instances I could go right to the source, the TAGS episode to prove my point. I still have the game but haven't played it lately. I think I will stick to the Andy Trivia board game...when I can find someone to play with! Now that is having a BIG time!!

That needs to be nipped right in the bud. Hollywood would just make a big moulage out of it anyway. There's not a person who could possibly be a better Barney than David Browning, our own Allan Newsome has captured the persona of Floyd our favorite barber, and Phil Lee has nailed Ernest to a "T". >> I CONCUR !!! - and believe it or not - that's all I've got to say.

I'm just catching up on my mail and saw all of the dicussion about a Mayberry movie. This does'nt set well in my little corner of Mayberry!! I can't even imagine what hollywood would do to TAGS. I'm sure it would"nt be the wholesome Mayberry we all know and love. I can't think of anyone who could fill the shoes of these great actors!!! I think about the remakes of The Beverly Hillbillies, Leave it to Beaver..... very disappointing!!! I hope they leave our friends in Mayberry alone!!! Let's just remember them the way they were!! Have a great day!! pauline ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

I've been watching the color episodes lately on TV Land and they are so different from the black and white's it's almost a completely different program. I was shocked at the episode a few nights ago when Barney came back for the Mayberry High class reuinion and discovered Thelma Lou had recently married. I just didn't like it. Barney tried to get "drunk" on liquorless punch. I've never been a fan of the color episodes and I guess I'd rather just keep watching the black and whites and keep my perfect Mayberry fantasy alive. Thanks for listening. Julie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 15:41:05 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Andy and Barney revisited part 2 Continued from Andy and Barney's Appliance business. This one happened to me. Andy and Barney called out on washing machine trouble They enter house and customer leads them to utility room. Andy - You say the machine is shaking and making racket in the spin cycle? Customer - Yep, sounds like the house is coming down Andy. Barney - (With Thumbs hooked thru toolbelt, Andy won't let him have any tools except a combination flashlight/screwdriver with clip that he keeps in his shirt pocket). Barney - You lay people will never learn, will you? You buy a delicate piece of equipment like this, then treat it like you was down at the old laundrymat and try to put 100 pounds of clothes in it. Now you've probably put so much pressure on the motor that the belt is slipping around the tub and got the tub crossways. Yep, you'll need a new belt, pulley collogatator and probably new motor. You're lookin at some big bucks here. Boy, you people just never learn. Andy - (standing back looking at machine, presses down on one corner, gets down on knee) Andy- Barney pick up on the edge of the machine. Barney- where, right chere. Andy - Yep right there. Barney bends over and grabs washer, veins pop out on neck, face turns red and head starts trembling. Finally, customer (a lady) leans over and lifts edge of machine. Barney- I must have pulled something in my back in Judo class last night, yep I must have flipped that instructor 100 times. Yep, I've definitely pulled something. I'm gonna have to quit judo on work nights. Andy starts adjusting something under machine Andy - Barney, go get my level off the truck. Barney - Level? Don't you mean handtrucks so we can load er up and .... Andy -Barney, go get the level Barney- But Ange, what about....... Andy- BARNEY, the level. Barney heading for truck mumbling. Whoever heard of a level, he's gone nuts. Andy stands up and Barney returns with level. Andy places level on machine and shakes his head. Barney to customer - Yep, a new belt, pulley and probably a new motor. You're looking at about two weeks in the old shop. Andy switches on machine to spin cycle. It runs smoothly. Andy to customer- It may settle a little more in a week or so, if so just give us a call and we'll level it back up. Customer - Thanks a lot Andy. Andy - Anytime. Just holler if you need us. Barney to customer. See all it needed was leveling. If you had any experience in these things you could have did it yourself and saved us all a lot of trouble and confusion, from now on..... Andy- Come on Barney. The customer helps Barney out of chair where he had to sit after the strain. Andy and customer help him to truck. Barney -Better watch that belt though. If you smell something burning, turn it off. They leave and customer has no more trouble.

My question is, WHY? We have everything we need with the episodes that we love so well. What Allan, Phil, myself and others do is simply keep a good feeling going pertaining to the show with what we do. And what we do is based on a love of the show. So again I ask, WHY? I've had so many people ask me over the few years I have been playing the Mayberry Deputy, "If they do a movie, would you do it?" My reply has always been the same. "Trying to duplicate what Don Knotts did as Barney Fife is a sure fire formula for failure for another actor. Don Knotts is Barney Fife. All I do is try to bring a feeling of what he did on the show to what I do." Let's face it folks. The Beverly Hillbillies, Beaver and McHale's Navy movies are clear signal's that the magic of what was created years ago can never be created again. We can have reminders but it will only be speacial if we leave it along.
