Bass hearing..... Helloooooo Dolllllll, It's me again with another Mayberry connection to speak of..... If your local TV stations happen to air the old Garfield cartoons, you can hear Howard Morris in the segment called USAcres, where he does voices of barnyard animals. Oh well, back to playing jail.....

I have a question regarding the columbia house tapes of TAGS. Do these tapes have the complete episodes , including the epilogues? If I am going to spend that kind of money, I want to know that I am getting the "whole shabang". Does anyone know? Steve >> These are the most complete episodes available and yes, they do, contain the epilogues. Kevin G.

So, accounting for the jobs back then for women, I'm assuming that she might have been a secretary. Also, on the haunted house episode, when Barney realizes that Andy didn't come out of the house, he grabs his revolver and goes into the house. I noticed though that he didn't stop to put his bullet in. Maybe he thought the mere sight of the gun would scare the ghost! lol.

That's the final scene (before the epilogue) of "Barney of the Rebound." >What ever happened to Warren? (Huh? Huh? Huh? ) We don't know, he just disappeared from Mayberry without explanation. The character of Warren just never seemed to mesh with Andy's character (though his scenes with Goober were priceless, IMO). Actor Jack Burns was fired from TAGS on Christmas Day. I understand that to this day he's very bitter about his Mayberry experience. >What was Thelma Lou's occupation? All we ever learn is that she works in an office ("Man in the Middle.") She is most likely a secretary or receptionist. >Was Dud Wash ever played by Bob Denver? I could have sworn I saw him in an episode? Yes, Bob Denver played Dud in "Divorce, Mountain Style." In previous episodes, the character had been played by Hoke Howell. As the late Mr. Howell used to tell it, he was replaced because CBS wanted Bob Denver to get all the TV exposure he could, since he was to star in Gilligan's Island later that year. This story always seemed a bit odd to me, since Bob Denver was already an established star at that time (The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 12:38:06 -0400 From: "Terry Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: New Mount Airy, NC Newsletter Greetings all.

But you're right, I did notice he was in fine voice when he and Andy sang a hymn together in the office once...

At the end Andy said the big giveaway was that such a fine, attractive lady would be so crazy..."about a squirt". Barney gets all ticked off. It happens in the epilogue...

She was educated at the Holton Arms School in Washington, D.C. That's about all I have on her right now. Ron **Barn McLendon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't know about that. At that point, Aunt Bee didn't know how to drive. Considering the difficulty she had later in learning, I don't know that I would have wanted her to even steer the car.

I'd love to see her at other Mayberry functions. Thanks again, Bart, for those extra photos! What a wonderful picture of the VW Boys. You sure are a good photographer. Lotsa luck to you and yers, Trish (Emma) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 17:15:15 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry at Meadowview Wow, what a show! I always Allan could do mAGIC. I've seen him eat! Just kidding Count Izvan Newsome. The show was super and just being able to sit through the day and chat with Floyd, Barney Duke and Fun Girl was the iceing on the cake. thanks to Gary and everyone who made everything possible. Truly Mayberry is a FRIENDLY TOWN! Flying upside down till the next event.

Barney's appearing and disappearing singing ability is second only to Gomer's ability and inability to work on cars. It comes and goes - kind of like "the versitis" Jeff Krentz BigHead in Dee-Troit (O'Malley says ACKA-BAKKA!) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 17:46:20 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Barney's First Car In a message dated 6/27/00 11:40:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << I never noticed that Aunt Bee had been replaced. I'm sure I have that episode on tape. Guess I'll have to have a little look see. See ya Samoa Buzz Fluehart >> Hey To All! I noticed the irony of Aunt Bee pushing but I never noticed the switcheroni either. I just thought they put the car in Low Drive and there really wasn't any pushin' perse. Kind of just an optical illusion. I agree, they should have put Aunt Bee at least next to Barney in the front seat since he was out of sorts and put Thelma Lou (who is MUCH younger than dear Aunt Bee) in her spot in the pushin' line. Would say back to the pickle stash but I am away from it for a couple of days.

It always makes me happy to see any of the characters on "TAGS"...no matter where they are! But just for the record, Barn should have been on the COVER!! Abyssinia!

Remember the breach-of-promise suit?? In one scene, the girl Barn becomes entangled with (Melissa), calls him a squirt and Andy says "...and I don't appreciate you callin' my deputy a squirt." Then he does it himself at the end of the show. Another GREAT episode!!!
