Hi Gang, I don't know if anyone else saw this, but I was watching a show on The Discovery Channel the other night called 'Would You Believe It?' There was a past in the show about the original Siamese Twins - Chang and Eng Bunker. It told about their growing up and marriages etc. and went on to say that when they retired from 'show business' they retired to, of ALL places .................................... Mt. Airy, North Carolina!!! I was even more shocked when my girlfriend noticed this too! LOL I think I'm a good influence on her! LOL My office at work is now complete with my entire Mayberry collection - its wall-to-wall Mayberry! Every guest that comes into our offices gets a tour of what has been dubbed "The Shrine" LOL I still need to add several of the new items from Weavers, but I'm not 'allowed' to buy anymore myself so there is something left for birthdays and Christmas! One last note, and I hate to brag, but we are leaving for Upper Mighigan on a week long fishing trip on Wednesday. No phones, no radio, no plumbing, no electric, no people, no satellite dish - heaven really does exist on Earth! LOL Everyone have a great week and we will miss Milwaukee while we're gone - NOT ! haha Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I wonder how many different characters he played over the years?? >>> In various episodes, he was known as Jud, Judd, Jubal, Burt, Old Man Crowley, and The Old Geezer. All of these different names, though, are not really mistakes. When the writers created a character in a script, they used whatever name sounded right to them. They had no idea what actor would be hired to play the part. True, the producers could have changed the script, but most of the time they figured nobody would notice. And, truth be told, without video tape and endless reruns, nobody ever would have (except me -- [wink] ). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2000 15:42:50 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Don's Emmy awards >For what episodes did Don win his Emmy's for? >Thanks, Jane E. in GA The first three were for Outstanding Supporting Role by an Actor in a Comedy Series, for the 1960-61, 61-62 and 62-63 season. The fourth was for "The Return of Barney Fife;" the fifth for "Barney Comes to Mayberry." Trivia time: What actor (not associated with TAGS) won three Emmys for playing the same character on three different series? As far as I know, only one person has ever done this. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2000 15:56:04 CDT From: "Feb Hady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Meadowview III Just curious as to who is planning to go to Meadowview III this month. I hope to see several friends from last year. I will be moving into the area next week - so I won't have far to go. (Yea!) Jeff K. - Are you going to try to bring pork chop sandwiches from Snappy's? I got that Praline recipe that you made last & plan on bringing some over. I just can't get enough of it. (Major sugar high). I hope to see a lot of folks there with this being the 40th year of TAGS. We went to the 30th reunion in Charlotte & I was in awe. My parent's gave me their memorabilia & I was tickled to death. It's sad we have lost so many of the regulars since then, but I have pictures, autographs, & memories that will last me a life time. For those of you who like to pick - we don't have a definite time yet - bring your instruments. Plan to have a jam around 7 or 8 on Friday night. We have about a half dozen people ready to jam so far. Including Randy who runs the Dillard's (Darlings)Web Site. Sorry to run on so long - just wanted to check in as I've been out of circulation for several months recently. Take care & hope to see you there.

Therefore, most of the writers did not care or think that people would remember stuff from one year to the next. If I remember correctly, Clara had 2 different last names, or did she start out as one person and changed and played another later on? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2000 16:56:17 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kenneth G. Anderson) Subject: The Sam Becker Case I can't remember if the following has ever been addressed, but I will ask it anyway. When Andy went to Sam Becker's to help deliver the baby, I am assuming he took the squad car. That being the case, how did Barney manage to get out to the farm in all the rain. It is apparent that he went all alone. Also in the same episode, Barney had just hung up on the phone when Andy made a call and in doing so he apologized to Sarah for waking her up. She must really be able to get to bed and fall asleep fast, if she was already sleeping when Andy called. Just something to think about. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2000 15:48:01 -0700 From: "Michael Eury" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: unseen TV characters The recent discussion of Sarah and Juanita never being seen on TAGS make me "thank": how many other TV characters were referenced, and perhaps even heard, but never shown? I can think of two: Carlton the Doorman on "Rhoda" (the character was voiced by Lorenzo Music, also the voice of TV's Garfield) and Maris, Niles's Crane's ex-wife on "Frasier." Can anyone think of any others?

He is playing a scientist that wants to steal Flipper away from the boys that love him in order to study dolfins. He still has a hint of southern accent, so it must have been his real one on TAGS. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2000 20:02:35 CST From: "The Hendersons" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: just spotted Jim Linsey on Flipper TAGS Jim Linsey just appeared on Flipper.

But I guess that wouldn't account for the red hair. >Heck, the entire plot of "Citizen Kane" is based on a word the title >character whispered on his death bed...with no one else in the room! Even better: The sled was left behind when he was taken from his family. How did it show up in the trash pile at Xanadu? Did anyone catch the episode of The Dick Van Dyke show when it was explained that Little Richie's middle name is Rosebud, and why? Here's one to ponder - The Darlings always drove their pick-up to town, Andy and Barney drove the squad car to the Darlings, Charlene hitch-hiked to town when she wanted a divorce - what did Ernest T. use to get around? He sure did a lot of walking........I guess that's why he was so "healthy"!

I was watching the "Pickle" episode the other night, and Aunt Bea mentioned something about not "putting on airs." I have heard this phrase before, but I am wondering exactly what it means and what the origin of the phrase is. I am sure one of you "southerners" can help me out! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 14:23:32 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAGS Stamps Does anyone know if there are any plans for postage stamps honoring TAGS? With all the fans worldwide, seems they would be very popular. I wonder how they get voted in. Any one with "Postal" connections out there? After all, TAGS is the best television show ever produced.

It's common knowledge!" - -Helen ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2000 16:08:02 EDT From: "Douglas Risley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Question about Miss Crump Hi! I heard recently that Anita Corsault (Helen Crump) passed away. Is it true? If so, does anyone know the cause of death or when it was. I was suprised and sorry to hear such a thing. I certainly admired her work on TAGS.
