Does anybody feel the same way I do? I thought the movie "Pleasantville" was
sort of entertaining but very wierd. I know he's an actor doing his job, but
it sorta hurt hearing Ol' Barn actually using profanity. Reverend Tucker
would of thought up a whole different "Sermon For The Day". Am I the only
prude in the bunch?
NO - you certainly are NOT the only prude. Actually, you're not a prude at
all. Don't confuse good manners, an adequate vocabulary, graciousness and
decency with being a prude. This is Hollywood for ya. They tend to think
everybody talks dirty, uses profanity and drinks all day long and they think
that's what everybody wants to see. WRONG WRONG WRONG. Pleasantville was
not my cup of tea either. Give me MAYBERRY every day of the week thank you.

Subject: Sam Jones, He's Been in the Sun too Long or What?
On today's morning shows:
Observation No 1: Sam Jones' singing partner was none other than our
darling person Charlene Darling Walsh and what a delight it was to hear
her beautiful voice.
Observation No 2: When that beautiful Italian woman got off the train, why
did Sam act all disappointed to have her come live with him? That guy been
out working in the sun too long? Shoot, I'm a girl and even I
know that gal was an eye full!
It's not like she was asking him to live in sin, exactly. I mean, her
brother and father were along for the trip too, you know. But still, how
many guys are going to object to having a beautiful woman in their home?
Otis Taylor wouldn't object and he's married--to me! Man's living in
paradise.

Subject: Andys favorite song???
Hey Paul and all,
Could it be good ole 14a "Welcome sweet spring time
we greet thee in sOOOng"? I know it can't be Otis's
sobreity test. Barney said Andy didn't know the verses
or anything. Maybe its; Leaning on the everlasting
arms (all Ben Weaver does is just move his lips to
that song)Or it could be somethin so obvious as
"Dooley" I know the Darlins get most of the credit for
that song but Andy did "jump in there a few times and
hung on" UH ONE and UH TWO

I guess this makes you sheriff now !

Subject: Miss Emma and her cotton balls
Would somebody please explain what Miss Emma meant on friday's episode, (about
Miss Ellie the lady druggist), when miss Emma angrily walked out of the drug
store saying,"Come Christmas, don't expect me to buy my cotton balls from you!".
Is there some old timey reason why she would say that? I never thought cotton
balls were exactly Christmas stuff? Were they used for old timey decorations
or something? thanks P.S. We're REALLLLLLLLY enjoying Andy's accent in these
earliest episodes; it's like how we have talked for years, that is until we
moved north and lost some of it. :-)

We both sure get a kick out of watching Jim Linsey foolin' everybody with his
"accoustic" guitar and makin' it sound like two people playin' two ELECTRIC
guitars at the same time. Every single time my dear hubby watches today's
episode... (where Jim Linsey gets arrested and then hired by Fleet's band with
a beat) he gets a real healthy laugh out of it!!!!Somebody, now WHO was the
FAMOUS guitarist that did the actual playin' ? thanks for the reminder .

Subject: names
In the episode where Aunt Bee said that she should have gone to college,
because she had a bent toward Chemistry, Andy tells her she could have been
another Madame Curie. Then Aunt Bee says she says something about her being
an exception, and French. Did that line have anything to do with her name,
Bavier, which I assume is a French name?
My next question involves the statement Andy makes to Barney, after he comes
back from Peggy's and her old college friend is there. Andy tells Barney,
"Wouldn't you just know his name would be Don?" Is that an inference to Don
Knotts name?

Subject: Guilty Sinners
Hey Folks,
Someone mentioned "Sinners Lose All Their Guilty Stains" and it reminded me
of something I wondered about when I saw that episode a while back. When
Barney and Andy are in the courthouse humming this tune, Barney asks Ange
what the name of the song is. Andy replies, "Sinners Lose All Their Guilty
Stains". Now isn't the name of this song actually "There is a Fountain"?
Or is there actually a song entitled "Sinners Lose..."? Can somebody help?
Hope I'm not being picky. I can't stand a picky salesman.

<< Being a journalist that has counted covering government goings-on as one

Mayberry and how it has a life of its own. >>
One thing that really got under my skin was how Andy seemed to have to take
orders from Mayor Stoner. Since when did an elected county sheriff ever have
to answer to a city mayor? And since when did a mayor have a right to meddle
in a county municipality? I'm guessing Stoner was a one-termer myself...

>>>Her name was spelled B-E-E in all the scripts. You can also see is
spelled that way when she runs for office against Howard and when she had
the Chinese Restaurant.
Allan
>>>
That's exactly right; in addition, it was always spelled B-E-E in the
credits. Strangely, on the rare occasions when Frances Bavier would give
out autographs, she spelled in B-E-A. I would have to say that B-E-E is
correct, since that's the only way it was ever spelled on The Show. If you
check books of baby names (something we've been doing a lot of lately around
my house) you will find both Bea and Bee listed as diminutive forms of the
name Beatrice, which of course was Aunt Bee's actual first name.
Denver Pyle and James Best also used different spellings for their
characters' names. Mr. Darling's name was usually Briscoe on the show, but
in one episode it's Brisco. Denver Pyle used the latter spelling when
signing autographs. Same goes with Roscoe P. Coltrane - James Best usually
spells it R-O-S-C-O.

For starters, the town of Mayberry is located in Mayberry County. That
causes confusion right there.
Andy and Barney are clearly county employees. My understanding is that the
job of sheriff is always a "county" position. Of course, since the town of
Mayberry is within Mayberry County, Andy and his deputies have jurisdiction
over the entire town. I suppose if Mayberry had a chief of police, the
Chief would rank above Andy as long as they were within the town limits. If
I'm mistaken, hopefully someone reading this who works in law enforcement
will set me straight.
The sign in Howard's office does indeed read "Township," and Mayor Stoner
also refers to the "Township of Mayberry" when he prepares his report for
the governor. Since Howard's title is County Clerk, he is obviously a
county employee as well, but the sign in his office seems to indicate that
he also keeps separate records for things that happen within the town
limits.
I must confess I don't know the difference between a city, township,
village, etc. I asked a government teacher to explain it to me once, but
when he got done explaining I was even more confused than before.

Howdy to you and yers:
This is the fatman sayin hey....hey....just wanted to make a comment on
somethin' my darlin person asked me after the other day about Gomer. She was
wondern about Gomer's mechanical ability and how he gained it..Ifin yall
remember in the episode where Barney was bringing the office up to speed
"electronnaly" by installing a intercolm, Andy wanted a carberuater put on
the patrol car, Gomer couldn't do it..."just water and oil, now you take
gas...we make a charge for that, but not water and air"...(from a different
episode)...and yet in anoter episode Wally fired Gomer for being "insuficcent
in his duties" but later on hired him back, even throwin in an extra burner
and icebox in the kitchenette....My darlin person insisted that it was Gomer
who built Gilly Walkers car in the courthouse, but I set her straight (chawee
chawee, pucka pucka), and as Floyd said, it was a sight to behold....mayhap
he took a course at night or Goober helped him....jest a thought...may the
peace and happiness and love for one another infect you all and before you
know it, "well have her if she don't jump"
Now yall act like somebody......love

I tried sending an email for more information on the Mayberry Replica
display set for Sept. 2nd in Knoxville (by John Hitch) but I had some
trouble with the email and it got returned to me. Darin, would you mind
emailing me the information you have on that. I plan on being in the
area that weekend and would like to come to the event if possible.
Thanks in advance.
