I don't know the title of the episode, but it involves a sour business man (played by Robert Emhardt) and his broken down car. Andy and Barney sing "The Little Brown Church" and it is great. In "Barney and the Choir", he sounds horrid. Y'all have probably discussed this before, but I've always kinda wondered about this. _________________________________________________ Andrew Szym, Benteen Fort Industries [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mtmshow.com _________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 00:05:41 -0700 (PDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: A Big Thankyou Thanks so much Bart for sharing your pictures with us.

You could never mistake that voice and accent and she >said that's her natural way to talk. She's originally from North >Carolina..... I'm just curious if anyone knows any biographical information about Ms. MacRae. I didn't realize she's from NC and, being a tarheel native my own self, am curious about any wheres and whens in NC.

In the epilogue, which I've never seen before, Barney is jumping rope with Gomer and Otis holding the rope and he is chanting the "Acka-Backa Boo, Out goes you!" rhyme. You have to listen closely, because the audience's laughter drowns most of it out. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 07:55:41 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: doubles >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Aunt Bee ???? or A Man ???? >I agree with you Crystal. It sure isn't Aunt Bee helping to push Barney's car. It does look like a man in a ladies dress. Aunt Bee also had a double in "Aunt Bee Learns to Drive." One reason she wore that huge hat was to conceal the "stunt" driver's features in the long shots. This is the oldest trick in the stunt man's book -- put on a big hat that partially conceals the face so it's no so obvious that someone else is doing the stunts. After his stroke, Floyd also had a double in the color episodes in which he was required to drive a car, or for scenes in which has was seen through the barber shop window (the real Floyd, of course, could not walk after his stroke). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 07:58:40 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Columbia House videos >From: "Steve Kessinger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Hello everybody in Mayberry land . I have a question regarding the columbia house tapes of TAGS. Do these tapes have the >complete episodes , including the epilogues? Yes, they are 100% complete. They even have a few scenes that I'VE never seen before! - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 08:19:37 +0200 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kenneth G. Anderson) Subject: The Real Benard Fifes and Stupid Crooks As a lark I went into people search to see if there are any honest to goodness real live Benard Fifes among us. Would you believe there are two. One lives in Florida and the other lives in New York? Can you imagine the ribbing they take? I also got to thinking about the various "stupid crooks" who found their way to Mayberry. How about the dumb bookies who opened up their shop in Floyds which is located right next to the Sheriff's office? (Duh) Then there were the two countifiters (wrong spelling) who also opened up shop right on Main Street and then hired Aunt Bee to work for them. (Double Duh). And we can't forget the citizen of the day, Mr. Mooney, who stole all the watches and also Andy's on his very first moment in Mayberry. Can anyone else think of anyone who should be nominated for a "Stupid Crook" award? "He may be stupid, but he's not ugly." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:33:29 -0400 From: "Paul Gilkes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Gomer in Columbus After returning from Mayberry at Meadowview 3, I had the chance to see Jim Nabors in concert in Columbus, OH, on Tuesday, June 27. What a voice that boy from Alabama has! I was able to watch the show from the first row, got to shake his hand while he visited the audience during the show (I was wearing a Mayberry Squad Car Rendezvous shirt with Wally's Filling Station on the front). Jim remarked how he almost didn't make the show because he split his head open tripping backwards while delivering a 50-pound birthday cake he received to the facility where he receives medical treatments every few weeks from his liver transplant. He couldn't stop from laughing retelling the story how he flipped backwards, the cake flew up in the air and came crashing down on the floor exploded, sending the cake and filling all over the patients. Jim said when he stood up a little groggy, all he saw was the patients, all that frosting and filling. The crack in his head took 8 stitches to close. He said the story was to appear in the National Enquirer. The only drawback from the show was that Jim wasn't able to stay after the show for an autograph session, as he was whisked away for an appearance on a Columbus TV station to promote his new gospel album. During his visit to Nashville and appearance on the Grand Ole Opry June 24, Jim did 38 interviews that weekend, according to his record company promoter. Shazam, that boy's busy. Now, it's down to the Military/Squad Car Rendezvous this weekend!!!!

I was dealing with some damage to my home from a major storm which hit on Saturday. Knocked out the power for several hours, preventing me from taping Jim Nabors performance on the Grand Ole Opry. Got the damage taken care of though. As far as Meadowview, the organizers did s super bangup job. It's a shame that this is the last one, but it does take time and money to put on such as show. From the vendors, to the autograph signing sessions, meeting with the stars, Aunt Bee's Picnic, the breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets, and especially hooking up with all the Mayberry fans, it was an outstanding experience. All those involved should be proud of their accomplishments. They did not go unrewarded. We all appreciate it.

I especially enjoyed seeing "Miss Bunny"; didn't she look terrific?! And it conjured up a forgotten memory: in the late 60's there was a traveling TV show called (I think) Operation Entertainment; various celebrities visited military bases to entertain the troops and dependents. At NAS Memphis in Millington, Tennessee we got to see Ronnie Schell, the Cowsills, Dodie Stevens, and a gal named Eileen from the TV show Burke's Law. They were all very nice and signed autographs, etc. Aunt Bee of Orlando ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

On Monday night there is an ad for TV Land with none other than Barney Fife's picture. The caption reads, "Times change, Great TV doesn't" and it shows Barney with a beard. It's pretty funny. Unfortunately, our cable company doesn't get TV Land yet, but I went to a public hearing for the cable franchise contract last night and that was one of the big topics. Bring us TV Land!!!!!!!! Just waiting for Block Party Summer on Nick, Vicki "It don't gotta be." (Andy Taylor and apparently possibly our cable company) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:38:04 -0500 From: "Wendy Phillips" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Subject: Aunt Bee ???? or A Man ???? >To my way of thinking Aunt Bee should have been behind the wheel steering anyway, not pushing. After > all, she was the oldest. Let everyone else push. As slow as they were pushing she wouldn't have had a problem keeping the car on the road. That's what would have been done in real life (no - - Mayberry is NOT real life - - that's why we keep coming back!!). But that's what makes this scene so funny: Barney being so knackered because the car he spent his nest egg on was falling apart that he can't even steer (Thel had to steer) and Aunt Bee having to push the car!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 10:34:44 EDT From: "Maureen Kowalski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: just wonderin' Helloooo Dolllllll........ Just a couple of questions/ponderances here... Any body ever notice in the episode where Miss Crump comes on the scene that one of Opie's classmates is Little Ricky from the later episodes of I Love Lucy? In fact, it was him who gave the famous quote about if you're gonna have a club, you just can't let any one in.... How about checking out the episode where the baby is left on the steps of the courthouse. The remorseful father at the end of the show is none other than Jack Nicholson with maybe 5 lines at most. Also, I was trying to remember which episode it was when Andy agitates Barney by calling him a squirt, and Andy does it because he knows it'll rile Barney. What ever happened to Warren? (Huh? Huh? Huh? ) What was Thelma Lou's occupation? Was Dud Wash ever played by Bob Denver? I could have sworn I saw him in an episode? Enough questions for now. Me 'n Skippy are going to play jail with Bernie...
