Happy birth day to THE MAN !!!!! Our MAN - Andy Griffith... This is a short bio posted today on IWON.com Andy Griffith (1926): Actor who originally wanted to be an opera singer. Upon graduating college, Griffith went on the road with his wife, performing musical numbers and comedic monologues. His most famous monologue was called, "What It Was Was Football." In 1954, Griffith appeared on the "Ed Sullivan Show" and appeared in the TV movie and Broadway production of, "No Time for Sergeants." From 1959 to 1960, Griffith was a regular with Don Knotts on "The Steve Allen Show." After an appearance on the sitcom, "Make Room for Daddy," CBS decided to give Griffith his own show, aptly titled, "The Andy Griffith Show." Griffiths show had a successful eight-year run and he became the executive producer of the spin-off, "Mayberry, R.F.D." which ran from 1968 to 1971. From 1986 to 1992, Griffith starred in another popular television series, "Matlock." He continues to act, and appeared as a villain in the 1996 Leslie Nielsen film, Spy Hard.

The "pickle" episode was on TV Land last night, and my wife made a very interesting comment: We all remember when Aunt Bea first appeared on TAGS she was meeting Opie for the first time.. Along comes the pickle episode and Clara Johnson/Edwards states that she's been winning the pickle contest for 11 years straight, and that she's beaten Bea all 11 years! But Bea wasn't there, was she? Comments >> Please keep in mind that TAGS was escapist entertainment, and i dont think they were too worried about historical accuracy sometimes.TAGS is the kinda show that is best, i feel, to jus sit back and enjoy the escape. dont get too hung up on the small stuff............BRanDon :) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 17:39:04 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #165 In a message dated 6/1/00 2:38:15 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << by the by old friend, Juanita's the waitress at the Truck Stop; Sarah's the operator (and no one flirts with Sarah!) >> It may because of that little dip she takes now and then.

Andy VERY MUCH said no. He always thought it was better for her (and Sarah over at the switchboard) to be a unique image in everybody's mind. Instead he called and asked Mavis Neff out. He did it to make Helen jealous when the new principal was visiting and dominating her time. It worked!!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 18:24:12 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Nita - Juanita In a message dated 6/1/2000 2:04:41 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Who do you think would be a good Juanita? >> I always picture Polly Holiday (Flo on Alice) when I think of Juanita. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 18:28:17 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #165 In a message dated 6/1/2000 2:04:41 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << << What is wbmutbb?

Hope this ain't gettin' too far out of line!!.........

It's time to move along. Allan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 21:40:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Janet Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Freddie/Bobby Fleet > On TAGS, he was definitely called BOBBY Fleet. If I'm right, he >was on three > episodes. The episode where Jim Lndsey joined the Band With A >Beat; the > episode where Jim Lindsey left and rejoined the Band With A Beat; >and the > episode where the Band With A Beat impersonated the Mayberry >marching band > so they could go to the state Capitol. Thank you for the above information. It's been so long since I've seen the Jim Lindsey episodes that I didn't remember the bandleader being called Bobby in them. However, I'm afraid you are mistaken concerning the episode about the Mayberry band. His character was definitely called Freddie (or Freddy) in that one. _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 08:07:06 -0400 From: "Sullivan, Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Sullivan, Keith > Sent: Friday, June 02, 2000 7:03 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: andy > > I really hope this isn't true but my brother told me that he heard andy > griffith had a heart attack on his birthday.

In doing searches on the major news sites on the web, there is no mention of anything about Andy so let's figure it's just a rumor and let's not help it spread.

Also, Laura Lee in this same episode, the mystery lady you were asking about a few months ago played a manicurist in the beauty shop - it's the longest I've ever seen her on screen. Since no one knows her name maybe we could just call her Johnetta Coons... - -Charlie (albatross dragger) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2000 10:39:25 CDT From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy's First Wife, What Happened? Miss Poovey asked some good questions about Andy's first wife, little Opie's mother, like how do you suppose he met her, what about HER family, etc. Well, of course, I can't be 100% sure, but I got out my bucket, and here comes my idea. I think that just maybe she was a gypsy. You know, she was a part of those roving bands of gypsies that come through Mayberry every now and then. That would explain why she and Andy didn't know each other in school, and it could explain why her family is never mentioned on the show. Maybe her folks didn't approve of her marriage, and disowned her, and they don't even know about baby Opie. See, Andy was just getting over Sharon DeSpain (?), and a band of gypsies came through, and he took one look at this dark haired beauty and forgot all about "I want to be a big fish in a big pond" Sharon. And I personally think he still has a thing for gypsies. Remember when Mayberry was in a drought, and some came through promising they could make it rain? Well, Andy was tight with Helen, but one beauty flirted with Andy, and, though he tried to act like he didn't enjoy it, I think the man enjoyed it all right! 'Course, as good looking as that girl was there would have been something wrong with Andy if he hadn't. Take it for what it's worth. It's just my bucket thoughts. Barney to Andy: "The thing about gypsies is, they're moody." Laura Lee Hobbs, gold truck watcher, dime store clerker, and lover of gypsies everywhere (I'm not sure, but I think I may have a bit of gypsie blood in me, 'cause I sure like to roam around, singing songs, and doing my little dance.) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #166 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
