That's the right episode, but I believe somebody else said it first (it was some feller from the Old Country). He also penned the immortal words, "What light by yonder winder shines?" and "You can change the name of a rose, but you cain't do nuthin' about the smell." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 11:36:59 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Rodney Dillard show >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From now until Old Man Kelsey's Crick rises: "The Rodney and Beverly Dillard Show" is performing at 3:30 p.m., Mon.-Sat., >at the 76 Music Hall in Branson, Mo. I'd like to go see this show; if anyone else in the chapter plans to attend, maybe some of us could get together. As Barney once said, "it's so much more fun with a group." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 12:06:13 -0500 From: Todd A Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS sightings Did anyone see the second episode of Gomer Pyle today? Mrs. Lesch was on and she was a pick pocket this time. Trying to get Gomer's $1600.00 that he was going to use to buy a filling station with Goober. (not walley's) Mr. Miner was on the bus Gomer was on too.....he was a crook . Then the Sherrif's car looked an awful lot like Andy's . This morning on TAGS Barney was on again. I love the way Andy takes up for Barney. Andy really is a model of what a true friend should be. I bet if we were to put a list together of all of the times Andy helped Barney out of a jam and made him look good we'd have quite a list!! Have a Mayberry Day!

Rob Petrie's mother was played by two different actresses who appeared in an episode of TAGS. In the episode "Empress Carlotta's Necklace," his mother was played by Carol Veasie who played one of the women from the historical society in "A Plaque for Mayberry." In the episodes "What's in a Middle Name?" "The Plots Thicken," "Pink Pills and Purple Parents," and "The Curse of the Petrie People" his mother was played by Isabelle Randolph who played the other historical society woman in "A Plaque for Mayberry." Rob Petrie's father was played by three different actors. Two of them appeared on TAGS. In the episode "Empress Carlotta's Necklace," his father was played by Will Wright (a.k.a. Ben Weaver). In the episodes "What's in a Middle Name?" and "The Plots Thicken," his father was played by J. Pat O'Malley (a.k.a. Mr. Fields in "Up in Barney's Room"). Other Mayberry actors who appeared on The Dick Van Dyke Show are Doris Packer (Mrs. Wiley in "My Fair Ernest T. Bass"), Everett Sloane (Jubal Foster in "Keeper of the Flame"), Jackie Joseph (Ramona in "My Fair Ernest T. Bass"), Allan Melvin (who appeared in many TAGS episodes), Milton Frome and Herbie Faye (the two counterfeiters in "Aunt Bee Takes a Job") and Johnny Silver (the Hanson brother who hid in the trunk in "The Great Filling Station Robbery").

She died in 1979, I believe, of Alzheimers disease. - -Josh ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 19:59:21 GMT From: "Harriet Browder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS and Star Trek >This makes a good trivia question to ask Star Trek "experts." Nearly >all of them will say Kirk and Spock were in New York City, but the >fact is >that the city is never mentioned in the episode. Thanks to >Floyd's Barber >Shop,we know they were in Mayberry! This is from a Trekie friend: All of this is true. Don't forget that, in the late 60's, budgets on TV shows were incredibly tight, Star Trek's budget was only about $100,000 per episode, which sounds like a lot of money, but when you add things up(Leonard Nimoy's fake ears, William Shatner's bar bills, etc.) they had to scratch and claw on just about every aspect of the show. One of the money saving things they did was to reuse sets that were already standing on the Paramount lot, one of which was the town of Mayberry. This is why every single episode of Star Trek Voyager (the current Star Trek show) at one point or another ends up with our heroes spelunking through the same cave week in and week out. I hear that, on the original Star Trek, they even threw a sheet over Aunt Bee one time and she played a boulder on a Star Trek episode. I can't back that one up, though... So besides the stages - we have a boulder as a TAGS link! That's a butte!

While I absolutely LOVE the epilogues, I sure wish that other great scenes did not have to give their lives for the privilege of seeing them! (they ARE like seeing a whole new show) Why, an entire chorus of "No Account Mule" was omitted from this week's viewing of "Gomer and the Houseguest". And I just adore the way he flings the covers back on the bed! Irritates the heck out of Andy, that's for sure.

Seeing as how I can't get TV Land, I would greatly appreciate it. I would pay for the tape and shipping. If anyone is willing to do this for me let me know at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks April ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 02:08:57 -0500 (CDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Steve) Subject: Countess?? In the episode where Barney buys some Gypsy fortune telling stuff, the name of the spirit invoked was "Countess Van Telecki". Now, "Countess" is a feminine term, but Barney refers to the spirit as a "He"! Is this a mistake, or have I been celebrating too much with the sisters' elixer? I'm new to the group, it's great to see that I'm not the only Andy Fanatic around! ~~Steve ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 03:45:23 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: (no subject) Hey to all..... I have a question about an episode I've never heard but someone asked me about today...here goes... Is there an episode where Barney burns down a bridge???? I thought I'd seen all of the shows being a lifelong HUGE fan but this doesnt ring a bell. Cheryl ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 11:03:14 -0400 From: "Jeff Koontz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: We shall miss her If you have ever been to the Andy Griffith Museum at the Mount Airy Visitors Center on a weekend, you have met the lady who has made a difference to so many lives for the past 7 years. Bertie McCoy was their answer to Aunt Bee (except when the tour buses were late and then she was "Killer Bee"). Miss Bertie has moved to Sparta, WI to work with her son at the Cistercian Abbey (www.monksonline.org), and will be dearly missed in Mount Airy. Visitors will still get the same friendly welcome when they visit, but life at the Visitors Center will not be the same without her, as she was one-of-a-kind. Anyone who knows Bertie will agree to that.
