The episode where he buys the motorcycle (pronounced sickle). He >tries to arrest her and she says "But Barney, I'm your mother"!! You're mixing up two different episodes. Both stories have Barney stopping several people at a roadblock, hence the confusion. Mrs. Fife, played by Lillian Culver, appears in episode 2, "The Manhunt." Checkpoint Chickie comes 3 years later, in "Barney's Sidecar." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 08:56:57 -0500 From: "Meadows, Karen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Unseen Characters I've been compiling a list of Mayberry's unseen characters when time allows, and I have nearly 200 names. If anyone is interested in obtaining a copy, let me know and I'll send it via e-mail. Any additions to the list are accepted-this IS a community project!

Also, we only saw the legs and feet of the Muppet Babies' Nana. (Can you tell I have a toddler?) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 07:44:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Janet Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Betty Lynn trivia answer Karen Leonard was on the ball! She knew the answer to my Betty Lynn trivia question was "June Bride," a 1948 movie starring Bette Davis and Robert Montgomery, along with a very young Betty Lynn. Though it's not one of Bette Davis's better known films, it's a very enjoyable comedy with a lot of witty banter. I haven't yet had a response on my "No Time for Sergeants" question (not trivia, I just want to know about the connection between it and "Gomer Pyle USMC"). One thing I forgot to mention is that Andy's character Will Stockdale says "Gollleee!" just like Gomer later does on TAGS and GPUSMC. _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 10:55:48 -0500 From: Dennis Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Floyd, or his brother? So there we were, semi-conscious and heading for some adventure sleeping after the 10 p.m. TAGS episode on TVLand, when our attention was drawn to Leave It to Beaver. Who should appear but Floyd, our beloved Mayberry barber/philosopher, cutting hair in pre-TAGS Beaver-ville. Actually gave young Wally a haircut and his first barbershop shave. We're used to Mayberry sightings but this was a tad creepy.

It's fun and all but lets get back to Mayberry and off all these other shows. I enjoyed it but I think we've covered other shows well enough. Thanks!

He as played by an actor named Gary Friken, who happens to be a "little person" of 4' and a few inches tall. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 08:17:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Janet Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Floyd I really like Miss Poovey's theory about Floyd being in the witness protection program! Miss Poovey, you wear that bucket well! There have been a couple of comments recently about Floyd changing or being played by two different men, but no one has addressed this. Wasn't Floyd always played by Howard McNear? And wasn't the change the result of his suffering a stroke sometime fairly early in the show's run? That's why later we never see Floyd standing or walking; he's seated in the barber chair or sitting down somewhere else. I think this was talked about in one of the reunion shows a few years back. Am I right? _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 15:19:47 GMT From: "Harriet Browder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Allan's signature That's a great idea Allan, adding your title and a web link to your signature: >Allan Newsome >"The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club - Webmaster >http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/ I think also you should add: A prince of a fellow, you deceitful wretch you!

This then leads me to Richard Diamond where Mary Tyler Moore was "seen" as David Janssen's secretary, but all you ever saw were her legs. dan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 15:28:36 GMT From: "Harriet Browder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Thelma Lou sighting Watched a movie with Betty Lynn last night: Apartment for Peggy. She played a 'mother figure' and used her middle name in the cast listing - Betty Ann Lynn. Not a great movie and she only had a few minutes and just a couple of lines but it was her and boy was she feisty!

OBVIOUSLY A 9 OR 10 YEAR OLD CHILD MAY NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THE IDEALS OR NAMECALLING IS WRONG AND DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE IN TODAYS SOCIETY!! HENCE THE NEED FOR PARENTAL GUIDANCE!

Hope I did it right this time. Anyway, some of the unseen characters mentioned on MASH have been seen. We saw B.J.'s wife,Peg and daughter, Erin in home movies along with Frank's wife (at their wedding), Col. Blake's wife, Lorraine (aka Mildred), and Radar's mom, uncle and dog, Ranger. We didn't see Col. Potter's wife (also named Mildred) but he always had a picture of her on his desk. We didn't see Klinger's wife (I think her name was Laverne) but they got married via a short wave radio(?) and he wore a wedding gown. Well, I could ramble on and on about MASH or TAGS but will go for now. Looking forward to the Military Rendezvous. MASH and Mayberry all in one place. I'll think I died and went to heaven. They're both my favs!! Thanks for reading my ramblings and lotsa luck to you and yers.

The commercial gives the first four levels of the game as: 1: typing reports 2: sweeping the courthouse 3: taking a nap 4: walking Thelma Lou to church Just for fun, I've been trying to guess what some of the other levels are. Perhaps they might include: 5: changing pillowcases in the cells 6: taking in Mrs. Kelsey's laundry 7: chalking tires 8: watching bicycles in front of the movie house 9: stopping trucks at Checkpoint Chickie 10: getting Ms. Kruteck's cat down out of the tree 11: shaking doorknobs on Main Street stores 12: gun-drawing practice (ten minutes every day) 13: putting lids back on trash cans 14: eating cashew fudge while watching that doctor show on TV with Thelma Lou Anybody care to add to this list? - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 15:22:51 -0500 From: David Millard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: " Let me Clarify This..." In the immortal words of Luther Heggs from " The Ghost & Mr. Chicken "........Let me clarify this......I sent a message last night trying to get clubs in Ohio to unite, I did mean TAGS clubs, we thought it might be neat to do a BIG TAGS event locally sometime if enough people were interested, let us know if your in Ohio by e-mailing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Luck to You & Yours......Dave. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 16:25:06 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: " Let me Clarify This..."

That's the event you all need to be planing to make BIG there in Ohio. Right now, I'd say that the MASH fans will be the largest turn out by far. We need to get folks ready to be there and have fun. SO, Ohio and nearby folks....make plans to be there!!!
