My parents recently went on a trip. They were driving west on I-40 and crossed the Mississippi river from Memphis into Arkansas. They stopped at a rest stop and were approached by a man and woman who asked them if they would agree to accompany them into West Memphis, Ark. and be their guests of honor at the town celebration of national tourism day. Well, they agreed, and it was just like the TAGS episode. They were given a police escort into town to a park where their "fat little mayor" gave them a key to the city, they were given gifts by the merchants, a free night in the hotel, etc. My father pointed out the similarities to the deputy who escorted them, and he said that he was familiar with the episode and "just don't call me Barney". When my father left the podium, he told the mayor that they had better check to see if they still had their watches. My folks said that it was really neat. I just had to share this.

When you are thirsty, do you have a "pop" or do you have a "soda"? Of course, we know what Gomer always offered at his filling station. We always called it "pop" too - grew up in a small town in Illinois. But when I married my ex-husband, (he was from Peoria) he laughed at "pop" and insisted that "soda" was correct. He also laughed at my penchant for watching TAGS. I had to become a closet TATS watcher. I'm not saying that was why our marriage ended, but ... it might have contributed. :) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 18:46:41 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Welcome to Mayberry and Happy Motoring!

I don't know the name of the episode but I have it taped. It is the one when Charlene's father said that Opie and the baby were betrolled or pledged to each other when grown. They are at Andy's house in the episode and he asked them to sing and play .Charlene sang the song and they signed the pledge with a pen that has ink that later disappears. Hope I helped you . Thanks Doug Wilson ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 22:26:21 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: funny quote Heard a quote on the show tonight that still slays me whenever I hear it. Barney believes that Andy has stolen away Thelma Lou so he gets all gussied up to try to steal away Ellie. When Ellie rejects Barney's pass he says "I feel sorry for you baby! You had the chance to fly with me but you weren't woman enough! Now the balloon's went up without you!" What a hoot!!! And the way he has that huge spit-curl on his forehead just cracks me up! ~the groovy one~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 16:00:01 -0700 (PDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #149 > The question was "What is a Ritz Cracker?" > The answer was "Andy Griffith said that everything > is better when it > sits on this." Just goes to show ya, that like > Elvis, Andy is > everywhere! Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Precedence: bulk Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] That reminds me of the Ritz ad where Andy and a friend were watching a football game and the friend had stacked a lot of goodies on. Andy told him, "There's a 15-yard penalty for piling on." I also seem to recall Andy doing a Kraft cheese ad where he's at the ole' fishin hole. ===== John O.

So I always assumed they were cousins who happened to be best friends.

That's really cool to have such a large memoribilia collection of ANYTHING. I'm pretty pround of my TAGS collection but nobody's "written me up" or anything. I do know that I've spent more money on TAGS stuff that the furnishings in my home (we have orange crates and they suffice). I love the Monkees music and really enjoyed their shows in their time and occasionally see re-runs but, I have to agree wholeheartedly that TAGS is the best show EVER on TV - past, present, and future. There I said it and I ain't takin' it back. At this very moment I'm watching "Goober and the Art of Love" and it's before breakfast !!

I wish so much that Maggie'd been on that cut. >> I beg to differ- while I love Maggie's version I also love the one on the Dillard's CD. I think it is every bit as good a rendition- but I admit that they are totally different- both the pace of the song and the attitude of the singer differ. It's fun to imagine what "There is a Time" would have sounded like sung by other cast members- Especially Rafe Hollister and Gomer- and let's not forget Booby Fleet and His Band with a Beat- with Jim singing lead vocals of course! maudetyler (Big Muade, aka Ralph Henderson) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 15:20:26 -0400 From: "GRITTON, JOE A. (AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: correction, sorry Well Dan Goodwin was my Checkpoint chickie on my post yesterday about favorite Extra actors Johnny Koons and Joe Hamilton. I botched the baseball line. In episode 16, Andy saves Barney's Morale, Barney had been arresting people for very minor offenses...like disturbing the peace and loitering. Joe's character sticks his head in the door and says to Barney "There's been a hit and run" Barney, quickly asks "where?" to which he answers "Down to the baseball field"...and then cracks up laughing. I reported it yesterday as a stolen base...so I guess that's one run...and one error (on me) Here's an idea (if someone hasn't done this already) How 'bout one of you folks with Net-tv and your own website capture a picture of Johnny and also Joe..amy be Mt Schwamp and post them on a website, where the newcomers can view them. ...sort of a who's who of extras. I know of one really "Groovy" Website that it would be great to post these on. (hint hint)..but I don't want to be to Poovey...I mean pushy.
