There was our beloved Floyd on the I Love Lucy show this morning, playing a person announcing little Rickie's Dixieland band. It is the episode where little Rickie gets stage fright, but later plays the drums with Lucy playing in the band with him, substituting for an absent kid who came down with measles. Of course he was great as the flustered announcer. I totally agree, a new Mayberry movie would be down right sacrilegous. I envy you easterners who get to see David & Allan portraying our favorite characters in the Mayberry spirit, but a movie, no way Jose! I'm not sure if I spelled that right, but y'all know what I meant.

I hope I haven't missed any appearances in Alabama, Georgia or Tennessee that might be close to where I live...

Last Friday nite, me, Dud, Briscoe and the boys loaded up on the ol' truck and went fox huntin' up above Hawk's point. We got up there and built us up one o' them far's by constriction and made us a big ol' pot of coffee and was jest sittin' around talkin' man talk and tellin' tales. Did you know you can hear the train whistle all tha' way over ta Mt Pilot if'n tha weather's right. Anyway, tha boys tweren't too talkitive like they genly are so Briscoe decided to get the strangin' instruments off the truck and scrub one off. They uz bout half way thru "Never hit yore grandma with a great big stick" when Earnest T. Bass came a crashing thru tha trees and bushes, shootin off that .22 repeater of his'n, likin to have scaret us to death. lucky nobody got hurt. Dud told Briscoe to take a shot at him, he had tha right, but Briscoe said he kinda hated to kill him. Anyway Earnest T. finally settled down and told us we was disturbin him. Said he done went and hermitized hisself agin and wuz livin' in that cave with his Raccoon and possum. Briscoe told him to come on out and give it another try with wimmin but Earnest T. said, tain't no use, I just ain't no account. Briscoe told him, you may be mean and ignorant but don't say you's no account. Earnest T. said, Aw, you just bein nice". Briscoe said, member that time you toted that full growed mule 5 miles to tha doctor. You's strong too. Earnest T. said well, I done went ta town and got me a unyform, a gold tooth and educashun and all slicked up and it still din't do no good. He said, I wish Ida just been born a muskrat so I could just poke my head out of a hole and grab tha first female what come by and live happily ever after. Anyway we finally got rid of him and Darlene said she saw him tha next day over ta Idelle Bushy's house choppin wood like a windmill in a tornader. She noticed ever winder in the house was broke so maybe Earnest T. made contact this time and it'll take. Darlene also said Romeena done run off with a dishrag salesman from Raleigh. That gal always did have a wild streak in her. Well, better go. Charlene and Andylina and everbody else said, Hey. I gotta git this down to tha Robert E. Lee natural Bridge and meet the mail rider. He wont come no further than that.

Watching Gomer last night, I was tickled to see Charlene (Maggie Peterson) as Gomer's date. She's even cuter in color. Maggie, honey, if you ever get rid of that real-life Dud Wash of yours, you give me a call. I've got some prime mountainside property with good, strong boulders where we could set up housekeeping. dan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 08:10:18 -0400 From: "Rod Sadler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: David Brownings viewpoint Hi everyone... I concur with David Browning regarding a Mayberry movie. Better than a remake of the show in a movie format is a "Return to Mayberry" as they did in 1986. I think returning to Mayberry a second time would be a mistake. The Andy Griffith Show is truly a classic...lets leave it that way.

Didn't we do this about a year ago? Coming up with who would fit into a Mayberry movie without looking like a jerk? Someone's recent suggestions were the best: >Barney - David Browning >Floyd - Allan Newsome >Ernest T - Phil Lee >Aunt Bea - Alma Venable >Whoever the kid was at last Mayberry days would be an excellent Opie as >he was a dead ringer. >Goober could be played by Goober. >Charlene could be played by Charlene. >Mayor could be played by Andy. >Howard could be played by Barney.(Don Knotts) >Otis could be played by Tim Conway. >Somewhere along the way Tom Hanks could fit into the picture. Maybe as >Dud Wash? Don't forget the beautiful voice who played Juanita at Mayberry Days. (Sorry, ma'am for not remembering your name.) I just can't picture in my mind (with or without a bucket!) anybody else for these characters, save the originals! Today's Hollywood would have Opie molesting Leon, Otis causing alcohol related deaths, Barney setting Andy up for embezzeling tax money, Ellie poisoning every prescription, Aunt Bee housing a brothel, Mayor Pike and Clara Edwards carrying on behind the curtain in the barbershop, John Masters would end up a serial killer, Gomer and Goober turning Wally's into a chop shop and Floyd - well, can you imagine what they'd do to that sweet soul? I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a hot poker than watch anything Hollywood would do to Mayberry in the 21st Century.

A new local station, WRDQ, is showing Mayberry episodes in order on channel 27. They say they will be showing them for quite some time and they even have a viewer contest starting tonight! Meanwhile, I'm glad to know that Columbia House finally came to its senses and is being fair with the shipping costs for the remaining 9 volumes of their Mayberry series; this has been a sore point with me for some time! And while I'm at it, let me recommend the adorable S&P shakers and new mug available at Weaver's; actually, the mug is large enough for a small planter too; both feature our beloved deputy.

Pilot. Who could do such a thing?! The very idea makes me cringe. Viola Slatt ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 13:08:30 CDT From: "Kathy Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Movie I vote no, too. One of the precious things about Mayberry and all the Mayberry folks is the sweet simplicity and un-complicated-ness (is that a word, or what?!) of their town and their lives. Let's face it, friends...NOTHING is un-complicated nowadays. I fear that the movie makers would try to modernize Mayberry and it would destroy the memories (even if they're not real) of "our" lives in Mayberry. I'm not an enemy of "new and improved" but I believe that some things are perfect just as they are. Mayberry is one of those things. Have a good day, everyone!

Our friends in Mayberry (the black and white ones) are ALL we need - Without our favorites in the black/white ones even the color shows are a real letdown. There is only one Barney, Andy,etc. and that is all there is to say. True Mayberry fans know and love our TAGS and there is no replacing the "real things" that make the series so unforgetible. I love the Beaver shows too and that movie says it all. No replacing the real thing there too. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 14:08:06 -0500 From: "James Seay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Well Said I just want to say WELL SAID! to David Browning in regards to yesterdays digest.
