Harvey - I just love your notes to the digest. Thanks a lot for being here with us. I for one love the little inconsistencies among episodes and I'm glad you weren't "punctilious about doing research." It was years before I saw the opening scene of the "Mr. McBeevee" episode and I cracked up over Andy's line "Now see what trouble you got me into, Blackie?!!" A thousand thanks for having put your talents into the Andy Griffith Show!

No need to apologize for those inconsistencies, Mr. Bullock - - we thrive on those!! I wonder if he knows that he was a part of history in the making. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:17:35 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Barney names How many names can you think of that Barney has,like"Barney the bulkhead"or "Fife the fierce"Barney-parney poo",can anyone name any others.And one more "crazy gun Barney",and also remember Barney telling Opie about the emancipation proclamation.From mayberry fan in Louisville,David<danielsdandav46>Daniels........Goodluck to you and yours. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:29:49 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Suzanne Burgess) Subject: wbmutbb V2 #248 Barbara, Clara's Nesselrode Pie is in Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook. Although I have never made one or eaten one, it sounds tasty. Sounds like it would make a kind of cream pie, gelatin, eggs, sugar, cream. The flavoring of two tablespoons rum must make it distinctive. The cookbook is well worth having, have made a lot of the recipes. Bon appetite.

A berry of some sort? I consider myself a real foodie, but I've never heard of this.....thanks ! Barbara >>> We don't count off for spelling around here (except for Aunt Bee's name, ha ha). Anyway, there's a recipe for Nesselrode pie on page 194 of "Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook." I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it contains gelatin, eggs, and cream, so I assume it's sort of like custard pie. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:29:08 +0100 From: Paul Jennings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #248 Yes....DSNance.....I agree with you......why if we go grabbing folks and lockin' 'em up for every little grammatical error or forgotten punctuation mark....I might just have to get a good hold on the seat of my own pants! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 14:39:04 -0700 From: "Larry Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #247 How many remember the show with the dogs. One of Barney's great lines was that Andy wasn't talking to a jerk. Have a good one. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:12:19 +0200 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kenneth G. Anderson) Subject: Medical Help In Mayberry I was just sitting here with a pail over my head taking a "thank" when I got to wondering why everyone in Mayberry was so worried when Dr. Bennet sold his practice and the "kid" came to town. Also why did he remove Opie's tonsils at his office, when there was a hospital in Mayberry. Barney referred to the hospital in several episodes, one when he delivered books to the hospital for Helen so she could picnic with Andy. And then in another episode Barney told Andy he was so funny he "should go up to the hospital and take the wheels off the wheelchairs." So there really was no need for all the alarm when the doctor moved away, or when Sam Becker's wife had her baby. Also no need for everyone to get excited when the new doctor came to town and Andy got so jealous when he visited Ellie so often at the drugstore.

I'm that person who said Opie was too old to be playing with imaginary horses, and now the Big Man, Mr. Harvey Bullock, himself, has called me on it. Dang, but I feel small! I mean, he writes these brilliant shows, and I find some weak little point to criticize (that ain't worth mentioning in the first place, but I like to talk), and he calls me on it! I feel like Floyd. I'd head for Nashville if there were anybody there to take me in. Well, it's down there with them spiders for me with that thanking bucket on my head until I can learn some better sense! (Really, Mr. Bullock, I meant no offense; and is it really Mr. McTeeVee? You mean, we haven't even been spelling it right?) Laura Lee Hobbs, sticking to what I know best, dime stores & gold trucks (NOTE FROM ALLAN: This is a PERFECT example of why we have "Rule #2" here on the WBMUTBB Digest. I'm not picking on Laura Lee here, mind ya, cause she sure ain't the only one guilty. You NEVER know who's out there reading the Digest and you really ought to keep your words kind and not say things you wouldn't say right to somebody's face. Here's an example that's somewhat funny. Stephen Spignesi, the man who wrote the book "Mayberry, My Hometown" joined the WBMTUBB chapter one day and I wrote to him telling him how wonderful it was to have him with us here in Mayberry and how much I like his book. THAT SAME DAY, the first Digest Stephen EVER got, somebody posted an email saying how much they HATED Stephen's book!!! OUCH!! Mr. Spignesi took it in stride and laughed it off but it made me feel like I needed a steak to put over my eye to keep the swelling down. Just remember this as you write you notes in to the Digest, "Keep your words sweet because some day, you may have to eat them." That goes for talking about punctuation, spelling, and just anything else. This is Mayberry and kindness goes a LONG way. Back to Laura Lee's question about "Mr. McBeevee". Harvey wrote it as "Mr. McTeeVee" originally but the name had to be changed because of some type of copyright issue. Harvey will correct me if I'm wrong on this but I believe that's why he spelled it "McTeeVee" in his note to us. -- Allan) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 14:50:59 +0100 From: Paul Jennings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #247 Yes....I know the Beamon's had an overbite.....but how bad was it? Were there any dentists in Mayberry? Thelma Lou had to go to Mt. Pilot (the only place around where you can get a good suit) to get her teeth fixed. I don't recall mention of a dentist....any help out there? Also....was the "Gold Truck" episode the one and only appearance of Doodles Weaver..(AKA-Regis)? Was he not the father of Sigourney Weaver? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:22:19 -0500 From: Paul Laywell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Billy Jack or Willy Jack? Maybe I'm not hearing things correctly, but I thought the guy with the brake problems was Willie Jack? So which is it, Willie Jack or Billy Jack? And by the way, wasn't the actor who played this part the same fellow that played the owner of Jimmy the dynamite eating goat? That character's name was Fletcher "Fletch" Hudgins, wasn't it? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:16:54 -0600 From: "Gerald Kerkhove" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Harvey Bulllock Great to hear from Harvey Bullock. Hope we can hear more of his comments about how things transpired. Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 17:17:47 -0500 From: "Rick Willis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS & Triplets <<Have you ever noticed TAGS use of "triplets"? >> Hey, that's a pretty astute observation there, Darrin! Would the episode "The Education of Ernest T. Bass" count? The "triplet" dialogue doesn't all happen at once, but definitely Barn suggests that he take ET out behind the barn to rough him up a little, and Andy says, "He'll kill you." That exchange happens twice between Andy and Barn, and then it climaxes when Barn suggests it the third time with both Andy and Helen. Then Helen delivers that great deadpan echo of Andy's response. I'll put my bucket on and see if I can think of any more. "No hunt beware open and closed no credit." - --Dud Wash ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:24:35 -0600 From: "Gerald Kerkhove" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy's Girlfriends If TAGS were a drama I would prefer Peggy as Andy's girlfriend because she was so pleasant for him to be around. But we have to remember that this was a comedy. And in a comedy there must be something that causes funny situations and reactions. Helen could overreact to something Andy or Barney did or said that would result in a funny scene. Peggy, Ellie and Mary really didn't do that. Helen's character was the perfect one for a comedy. Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 19:38:16 -0400 From: Bart Boatwright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry RFD I just wanted to ask if anyone has been taping Mayberry RFD. I just realized this week that they have been showing a 3rd episode at 7 PM and I need these episodes. Since I taped the one tonight, I only need 3 episodes. I would be glad to pay for the tape or would also be glad to trade for anything in my tape collection. If you can help me, please e-mail me directly. Thanks, Bart ------------------------------ Date: 24 Jul 00 19:36:31 EST From: "Wilbur DuBois Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS Triplet In one of the Fun Girls episodes, Skippy says "Shut up Bernie, just shut up!" twice and then Andy says it after they leave. There is also a great quadruplet at the = end of the episode where Luke Comstock brings a shotgun to Andy. In the epilogue, which you don't always get to see on TV, = Otis, Barney, and Andy say "Tick a lock" one right after the other, then Barney repeats it one more time.

My = daughter quickly came up with one more = classic triplet (one person says something = twice and another person says it the third = time) when Andy tells Barney (after Barney = says he wants to take Ernest T. Bass out = behind the jail and "Kick him around a = little bit"), "He'd kill ya." Andy repeats = the line a little later, and then Helen = provides the third occurrence, and is = rewarded with one of the best "looks" = Barney ever gave. = They came up with a couple more, but they are not "classics" (2 from one person and = one from someone else). Also, we will have to watch them again to make sure there are = only 3 repetitions: Andy to Aunt Bee "Call = the man!" Thelma Lou to Andy about Barney's singing "Not a lick!" And, how about the = famous quintuplet - Opie, Gomer, Aunt Bee, = Andy, and Thelma Lou all said "I smell gas." = riding in Barney's car (and he replied "What = do you think this car runs on, coal?"). Great subject you brought up! I look forward = to the rest of the replies (I'll count and = see how many times Floyd says "Wretch!" when I watch that episode tonight.) Lots of luck to you and yours.
