While flipping channels the other night, I came across an episode of Gomer Pyle USMC, and who do I see talking to Sargent Carter. Our own Ramona Ancrum, or was it Wiley, I have heard people refer to her as both. I am not sure of the actress' name but it was definately her. Did anyone else catch this, and can someone tell me if her last name was Ancrum or Wiley on TAGS. I'm almost sure that it is Ancrum. One of my Favorite episodes is My Fair Ernest T. Bass.

I don't know if the color episodes count but Andy grabbed Warren's pistol and shot at the counterfitters when they were trying to get away. - -Charlie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 21:00:49 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Andy's pistol firing In a message dated 7/18/2000 5:25:36 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << ..a friend of mine has asked me to tell him the three episodes in which Andy fires a revolver....One....."The Fued" episode....when Andy tries to get the fueders to duel......Second....Gentleman Dan Caldwell....when Andy fires Barnies gun that wasn't suppossed to be loaded.....I can't thin of the third one....any help out there???? >> He shot the tire out of a station wagon full of thieves in the episode "The Cannon". This was a Warren and Goober episode. Linda - the Big-shot Goober ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 21:09:37 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Funny Moments Okay - here's one of my favorite funny scenes from the color episodes - no I'm not kidding - they were funny too. Jerry Van Dyke dons a deputy uniform unbeknownst to Andy and checks out the carnival. Two guys are fighting and he tries to break up the fight, yelling - - "I've got a badge, I've got a badge" which is funny enough because they ignore him. When Andy shows up and breaks up the fight, Jerry says " They didn't see the badge". Then he tells a group of little old ladies "Okay break if up ladies". Jerry was really funny in this episode - would have done well as a regular on the show but not as the deputy. Linda - I've seen Goober in color. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 21:14:43 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: To err is human After posting the funny moment with Jerry Van Dyke - I'm trying to remember if that really WAS a color episode. So.... if it wasn't I guess I get 30 lashes with a wet noodle. Linda - the Goober who is dying of shame ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 19:41:34 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RFD tune >>>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know if this was every discussed before, but, I was wondering if anyone knows the title of the Mayberry RFD theme. >>> In it's original form, the title was "The Mayberry March." It was used many times on The Andy Griffith Show. Later, Earle Hagen used the same tune as the Mayberry RFD title tune, but not in march style. I'm pretty sure at that point he just called it "The Mayberry Theme." BTW, the correct title of the TAGS theme is "The Andy Griffith Theme," not "The Fishin' Hole" as many sources claim. It didn't come to be called "The Fishin' Hole" until later. As all die-hard TAGS fans know, the lyrics were penned by actor Everett Sloane, who played Jubal Foster in "Keeper of the Flame." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 19:50:16 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy fires a revolver >>>...a friend of mine has asked me to tell him the three episodes in which Andy fires a revolver....One....."The Fued" episode....when Andy tries to get the fueders to duel......Second....Gentleman Dan Caldwell....when Andy fires Barnies gun that wasn't suppossed to be loaded.....I can't thin of the third one....any help out there???? >>> In "Aunt Bee Takes a Job," he fires Warren's pistol at the crooks' getaway car. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 19:53:39 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: cell block angle >>>...it appeared to me as if the juxtaposition of the maximum security cells had been altered. If they were, it was obviously done to facilitate the dialogue between the characters in the two cells. So were the cells altered to be at what appeared to be a 45( angle? Or are they always like that and it was only accented by the camera angle and the tight shots? Just something that's been prayin' on my mind. Larry >>> All of the walls of the courthouse set were movable, so it is possible that the director had them repositioned slightly for that shot. Normally, there was only a slight angle, perhaps 10 degrees or so from a straight line. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 20:51:07 -0500 From: "Scott Gamel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Funny Lines I'm new around here and have been sitting back and enjoying the notes, quotes and observations. I have to get in on the "funny lines and episodes" discussion since this is THE topic of conversation whenever me and any of my Andy-phile buddies get together. Here are some of my picks, in no particular order... **the "boy, giraffes are selfish" speech. **both scenes where Barney is attempting to recite from memory: the preamble to the Constitution in one episode, and the city ordinace in another **When Barney says "All God's chillun got a uvula!" and Andy replies "Hallelujah..." **Same episode when Andy is teaching Barney how to sing into the "hot" microphone. (Ever notice the couple in the background cracking up during that scene?) (Unrelated question: is this one of the scenes Andy and Don used to perform at Hollywood parties in the early 60's? Seems like I heard or read that somewhere.) **Barney making Otis hop on one foot, until he collapses into Otis' arms. **Ernest T., as the Army doctor examines his ears: "Huuusssshhhh..." **Barney attempting to talk to Otis while he's sleeping: "Where did you ge-yut the liquor...?" I could go on all night. Thanks for letting me be a part of this great group. Lotsa luck to you and yurn!

That song is one of the great songs included on the new 'Songs, Themes, & Laughs from The Andy Griffith Show' CD. Also, I thought for a long time what RFD stood for. And now we all know. It's interesting to find out that RFD stands for (Rural Free Delivery). From the US Postal Service. Happy motoring, David ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 22:47:01 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry & movies Don Knott's movie, "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" was based on the haunted house epsode of TAGS. And one of his supporters in the movie was his voice teacher and Big Maude (also known as Ralph Henderson). ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 22:48:23 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Beer in Mayberry Andy ordered beer the same night that Miss Peg tried to get him to eat snails. Andy said, "I've stepped on a bunch of them on the sidewalk. I think I'll just let the snails pass." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 22:49:33 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Jim Nabors Special MSNBC There is a Jim Nabors special on MSNBC on Monday, July 24 at 10pm (I believe Easter Time) This was passed along to me by Jim's Webmaster and I'm sorry if I'd already posted it. I'm getting forgetful in my old age. I figured better safe than sorry. Allan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 22:54:22 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ollie and Nora visit At the beginning of the episode, Andy and Aunt Bee are sitting on their front porch on a Sunday morning talking about see 4 generations of the Claude Beeman family walk by. If I remember correctly, they completely cut out the part where Andy said he was called plain Claude because he wasn't Jr. Sr. or the 4th. Then the part when Aunt Bee said she thought it was because he was homely was completely missing. Is that correct or has Alzheimers set in on me? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 02:17:18 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #241 In the last digest, Paul Jennings wrote: >Yes.....Andy and Aunt Bee and Opie went to >the early service the morning the Beamons >walked by......there's Claude.....Claude >Jr.....Plain Claude......and was there another? >Any way....they all had that Beamon overbite!

I have, as a public service, opened a webtv IRC > chatroom directly linked to Sara's! I declare, Miss Poovey, that's one of the nicest things I've seen in a long time! I don't have WebTV myself, but for you to put together a page for our WebTV neighbors so's they can get to Sarah's and chat with the rest of the folks, well, it's just a real "Mayberry" thing to do.

I agree with Dan, that Poor Horatio scene between Andy and Opie is the greatest! Another scene that always leaves me laughing is the one from "Opie Loves Helen", featuring Barney and Opie. The phone call to Miss Crump from the courthouse, with Barney feeding Opie lines from T.Jonathan Osgood's "Poems of Romance" is hysterical! "When you and I are far apart... I no longer live..." Doug "Rafe Hollister" Garretson "Opie, who's there with you?" "She wants to know who's with me." "Tell her nobody." "Barney says nobody." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

I had always assumed these were just fake fronts where you couldn't do actual inside camera work. I particularly remember shots from inside Floyd's looking out into the street. And these weren't just window shots, we had actors and action going on inside the shop. Anybody got any info? dan ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #242 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
