I'm drawing a blank. Can anyone help? Thanks!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 09:39:21 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: former sheriff >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Anybody know who was the sheriff of Mayberry before Andy? He was sheriff in 1947, (the year I was born) and worked on the >case where Floyd punches a storeowner out for being "too cheap." That was Sheriff Poindexter (the case in question happened on August 9, 1946 - we don't know if he was still sheriff of Mayberry in 1947). Other Mayberry Sheriffs who preceded Andy Taylor include Dale Buckley, Fred Paley, and Sheriff Pinkley. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Jun 2000 09:55:58 -0500 From: Allan Newsome <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #169 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > My boyfriend, who is learning to love TAGS as much as I do, was wondering if > I knew what was the name of the county Mayberry was in, or if it was ever > mentioned on the show. Mayberry, the city, is in Mayberry County. Mayberry is the county seat.

First you harp on us for pointing out inaccuracies on TAGS (just watch and enjoy, you said...) and then in the next missive you're pondering how E.T. Bass got around! I love your comments though! And anyone who's an admirer of the Bass man is ALL RIGHT by me! On another note..... Jim Lindsey was played by James Best George Lindsay played Goober (Goober a mad scientist? that must be "classic" TV! YO!) Keep my breakfast hot and the coffee simmering!

"Over the teeth and over the gums, Look = out=20 >liver, Here it comes!" I agree. Otis was a kind man and knew his limitations. He did see temptation coming, but more often than not, temptation saw him first. He did not hesitate to remind us that "Us town drunks has a code we live by." That said, it makes me feel strange every time I hear Andy ranting to Aunt Bee about one of the things that made him upset at the beginning of episode #161-( Opie's Job )was that Otis had gotten gassed, drove his car through the Harper's rose garden, and then wanted to fight. All of that just wasn't in character for Otis (think of the Hot Rod Otis episode) and it was passed over in this otherwise fine episode with nary a mention, as if Andy was now resigned to the fact that Otis was getting a snootful and sliding behind the wheel. Oh, I know, it's just a television show, but television (at least the AGS) is mighty important to me, and I ain't no New York producer either.

Putting on airs may come from a term used in dressage (horse show competition) to indicate a movement in which the horse's legs are off = the ground. The various "airs" above ground are performed chiefly by horses trained in the hautes =E9coles (high schools), like the Spanish Riding = School of Vienna. To put on airs, then, would be to show off a talent that is shared only with the most elite. You ain't talkin' to a jerk ya know. Nutsy "Citizen's array-est! Citizen's array-est!" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Jun 2000 15:00:24 GMT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jeff Krentz) Subject: Re: Over Analysis or Trained Noticing? >I think you are being maybe a little too analytical here Kenneth. = Remember we=20 >are talking Escapist Literature here,dude. I think it is best just to = watch=20 >and enjoy!! >those are just my observations....................Taz (Brandon) Oh we do watch, and we do enjoy, but like Kenneth, there's Paul Mulik, me, the Milo Boys and whole heap of the others who like to stretch our trained noticer talents every once in a while and speculate on some of these things when we're feeling special sporty. Don't mind us - there's only 249 episodes and there's 365 days in a year - what's a body to do but use our extra sensitive perception to kind of fill in the gaps. =20 Big Head in DEE-Troit (O'Malley says HEY!) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 09:23:35 -0600 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Andy Griffith Trivia TAGS fans, Here's a good bit of Andy Griffith trivia: name the one song that both Andy Griffith and Don Henley (of Eagles fame) have recorded on an album.

I talked with the managing editor about the idea of a TAGS stamp and he provided me a copy of the May 29 issue explaining the duties of the Citizens Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee and the guidelines for stamp themes and designs. As a rule, for an image of an individual to appear on a U.S. stamp, the individual must be deceased for a period of at least 10 years. But the rules doesn't preclude a stamp, say, showing downtown Mayberry, or the courthouse, or other such symbol. In the 1990s, a stamp was issued honoring Jerry Seinfeld and his show, but the stamp shows his apartment, not an image of the living actor. And a stamp commemorating John Glenn's return to space doesn't show an image of the former astronaut/senator, but a rendition of the space shuttle on which he traveled. I guess Aunt Bee's image could qualify for depiction, or any of the other characters that passed on at least 10 years ago, but not Andy, Opie, Barney, Thelma Lou. If anybody wants to spearhead such a campaign and needs the guidelines, I'd be glad to send them a copy.

As for puttin' on airs I remember reading somewhere it originated in Europe where the upper class, who had bathing facilities, appeared to be keeping their noses in the air trying not to pick up the odors of the lower class, the great unwashed masses we've heard about. As to Andy's health, I would hope that Jim would know and inform us if anything was wrong. However, a friend of mine who reads those tabloid papers called me and said an article in a current issue says he's hanging on by a thread. Let's all say a quick, heartfelt prayer that it ain't so!!!

I think he appeared in the show at the end of the run of "Rhoda". If I am not mistaken, he was in a red doorman's attire with gold brocade. It was but just a glance of him but I believe they purposely let him be seen for a moment. Heck, we probably did see more of Mr. Wilson in "Home Improvement" in his at a glance. In Mayberry, I can think of two other ladies we didn't get to see but we saw them call the sheriff's office. Sorry, I have a lapse of memory and can't remember the fine ladies' names (see what turning 39.95 does to a person?). One was the lady in "The Loaded Goat" episode who kept calling the sherriff's office everytime there was an explosion wanting to know if Richmond was being overtaken. The second one, seems to me there was a lady who kept getting her cat stuck in a tree and Barn would go get it down then come back in the courthouse.
