He was offered that role (as the Mayberry Deputy) by Andy Griffith himself and turned it down for something better, his own series, "My Mother, The Car." He mentioned to other roles that he turned down, the part of Gilligan on Gilligan's Island, and a part (I don't remember which role) MASH.

I sure did get a lot of email about this - hey - - it made my day. Sorry guys - I hope I don't get a "rude" for this.

Its brought to mind some gems that had almost slipped my mind. I've already posted some of my favorites but if its alright I'd like to add a couple of more. (Hope I'm not being pushy. If there's one thing I can't stand, its a pushy TAGS fan.) Anyway, here are a few more that I don't think anybody has mentioned: 1- The scene "The Loaded Goat" where Otis tries to get into the bed which has been turned on its side. Funny sight-gags. 2-Barney and Gomer as Dr. Pendyke and Opie Taylor Sr. respectively in the Miracle Salve episode. 3-Gomer dropping his gun off the roof over and over again. (Can't remember the name of the episode). "And Gomer, get that gun out of your mouth!" I love this episode. Thanks for lettin' me post, "Plain" Doug Johnson "What's wrong with third party? Its not dirty." ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 20:38:07 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: new car quote >>>...Could somebody out there tell me what episode this is from and give the correct dialouge? Keep a good thought, Mark >>> This scene is from "Opie's Fortune." It goes more or less like this: Barney (reading from newspaper): Earl Pike bought his boy a brand new car for his birthday. Andy: Aww, that's nice. How old is his boy now? Barney: He's 57, isn't he? Perhaps Earl's "boy" was Mayor Pike. He would have been about the right age. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 18:57:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Rafe Hollister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Barney Pulls His Gun > Can anyone think of other times Barney pulls his gun but DOESN'T fire > it? Get out the buckets! > Harriet, on a chicken wing and a prayer The time I recall most vividly happens in "Ernest T. Bass Joins the Army". Barney runs across Ernest T. at the diner when he was supposed to be in jail, and Barney pulls his gun out, yelling, "All right, REACH!" He then turns and says, "I'm sorry you had to see this, Olive" and leaves the diner (and his big breakfast order) behind to march Ernest T. back to jail.

It's been a great while since I've been able to get back online but I did it!!! I've got myself a new job, a new pad up on the mountain here in VA and a few other things that make life worth livin'. Gettin' my daily dose of the digest again is icing on the cake! I sure have missed it! Now, back to business.... I've been waitin' and waitin' to post this little inconsistency I noticed so here it goes....let me know if any of y'all notice it too or if I'm just seein' things! In the episode where Barney buys his first car there is a scene when Mrs. Lesch is leaving Andy's house to walk to the church on the corner. In that scene, just before it fades out to the church it looks like Andy's hair is parted on the wrong side! In every other episode his hair seems to be parted on his left, but in that scene, I swear it looks like it's parted on the right. Now are my eyes deceivin' me??? Lotsa luck to you and yours!

One of them happens to be my best friend...Jennifer Easter...she's a real Mayberrian and fits in nicely...she will be an asset to our little corner of the world! In response to the obviously very wise Paul Jennings...he is so right that TAGS is a good parenting primer. And I totally understand parenting from the heart...it's what my mom did all my life and I dearly loved her for it. She died 2 years ago but it still feels like yesterday...sure wish she was here to help with my teenager! BTW, she was a TAGS fan, too and one of her favorites was when Briscoe yelled out the window to Ernest T. Bass, ..."you're a low-down pesky buzzard...doggone ye!!" TAGS was the only thing that could still make me smile during her one and a half year illness and it even made her smile as sick as she was. I will forever be indebted to all involved with the show for that!

Watch his face change...it happens so suddenly and is so funny that you just can't help laughing out loud!

Get out the buckets! >> Two classics come to mind. In one, Barney is holding gun-drawing practice, ten minutes a day ("I want to teach this baby to come to papa in a hurry!"). The other one is the one where Ernest T. gets rejected by the Army and starts throwing rocks all over the place. He keeps breaking the courthouse window, and when the repairmen bring in another he threatens to throw a brick through it right there on the street. Barney draws his gun and gets between Ernest T. and the glass...you guessed it, eventually swings his gun into the glass and breaks it. (Andy then wordlessly, reaches out and Barney disgustedly hands him the gun.)

He also pulls his gun on earnest T Bass in the "Mountain Wedding" episode.....drops it...and Andy picks it up for him. ------------------------------ Date: 20 Jul 00 08:21:28 EST From: "Wilbur DuBois Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS on DVD (media, not Dick Van Dyke) Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 19:00:36 -0400 From: Kail Tescar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS on DVD Hello everybody out there in Mayberry! Just got 2 TAGS DVDs, and I wanted to tell you about them. They are GREAT= ! I got "The best of Barney", and "The Best of the Andy Griffith show". They = are put out by Sterling Entertainment and are of very high quality. NICE clea= r sharp picture, uncut, with all the epilogs. Has some nice extra features too, like Mayberry music videos (musical clips from episodes), trivia, a= rt gallerys, all kinds of neat stuff on both discs. There are also a full 8 episodes on each DVD. A great bargain! (no, I'm not making any money off them (/:-) Lots of luck to you and yours, Kail (Cool as the center seed of a cucumber) Tescar =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Thanks to Kail Tescar for the Sterling Entertainment information. I want = to get these DVD's so I can show the people I work with what I am talking ab= out when I make references to TAGS at the office. Does anyone know what store= s I can visit to buy them? I did not see them at Weaver's. Also, that little on-line symbol at the end of Kail's message looked an a= wful lot like Barney with his hat down on one side - when he was trying to rom= ance Ellie Walker and teach Andy a lesson (when he was jeaous over Andy's visi= t to Thelma Lou). At least it looks that way on my e-mail screen. I don't know= if it was intentional, but I like it! It might need to have a different mout= h symbol, though, a smile is not quite right. (/:-) Have a Mayberry day! Will "Who you callin' a creachter!?!?"

Who can forget one of the greatest comedic (and purely Barney) moments when the new Courthouse glass was being carried down the street and Earnest T. threatens to Break it? It's a wonderful moment of irony when Barney's overzealousness makes him smash his pistol right through it! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 11:42:01 -0400 From: Jeff Krentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Andy Moment on My Three Sons Saw just a bit of a My Three Sons episode on TVLand this AM when I was = getting ready to go out and "do a good days work and act like some-body" Steve Douglas was escorting some rich/famous lady to a fancy restaurant = (maybe it was in Raleigh?) and was having all kinds of difficulties with = the pretentious waiter. After the waiter snubbed him and ordered "for = madame, sil vous plait" with some fancy-schmancy show off french sounding= food (snails and brains?) our hero Fred MacMurry nipped that in the bud,= folded up the menu and asked for "two new york cut steaks, green beans, = baked potatoes and coffee." The waiter gave him such a look, but as Ange knows, better to be thought = a plain hick than to be a hungry one.

And Thelma Lou tells him that she wished he'd leave town for a few days. April ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 21:53:02 EDT From: "Douglas Risley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Thelma Lou and Helen Hi! My wife and I were watching TAGS last night. The episode included the big four Andy, Barney, Thelma Lou, and Helen. My wife was wondering about the relationships between Aneta and Betty with Don and Andy. She remembered William Frawley and Vivian Vance (I Love Lucy) hated each other. I knew enough to tell her that Don and Andy were very good if not best friends but I too became curious about the relationship between the girls as well as their relationship with the boys. Would someone care to comment? Also: Does anyone know the name of the episode with Buddy Epsen? What season did it appear and how long before the Beverly Hillbillies? Thanks much, D. from NJ Right beside Ole Man Kelsey's Ocean ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #244 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
