Smith". I don't remember ever seeing his middle initial before. Anyone know what the "J" stands for? Dennis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >>> His full name was Harold John Smith. I haven't seen the "Leave it to Beaver" episode you mentioned, but it sounds like a funny one. I've never seen him billed as anything other than Hal Smith. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 16:36:02 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAGS Alumni Sighting I was watching an episode of the old Maverick series on TV Land recently, and who should stroll into the saloon but Barney's bloodhound Blue (aka Sam, Floyd's dog.) Also present in the scene was Wally from the service station playing the bartender.....Al Becker "He's working." ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 17:19:44 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: wbmutbb-digest V2 #287 Does anyone have information on where I could obtain an artist print of the desk of Andy Griffith. I have seen them previously in Mt. Airy at the Playhouse, but did not buy one. If anyone as any ideas please e-mail me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Attn: Scott Boyd Thank you ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 20:34:49 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #288 - Gomer I just saw an E True Hollywood Story about our Gomer. It was really a good feature. It told about his growing up, about how Andy Griffith- yes, old grumpy Andy - found him and made the producer give him the Gomer part, even though he had someone else in mind. It even brought up the rumor that spread about Jim Neighbors' "marriage" to Rock Hudson. I hate to admit it, but for years I kind of believed it. The feature told how it devastated Jim, and how Rock Hudson even stood up for him and denied the whole story. It showed clips of him in his Las Vegas act, and told how Carol Burnett saved his life. If they run it again, try and watch it - it was really uplifting. And know what? I don't believe Andy is a grumpy old man, and I don't believe that viscious story about Jim. Shazam! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 15:27:10 -0400 From: Donald E Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: wbmutbb-digest V2 #288 Hope I'm doing this right. I don't want to appear pushy or anything. Anyway, here it goes.... I love yor trivia questions and I think I have a good one. Even you folks that have all the tapes might find this one challenging. On the "Citizen's Arrest" episode, what Month, Day and Year did Barney incarcerate himself? "Go on, take a think under there!"

Is it my computer? >>> I too have noticed that once in a while, a message in the Digest has lots of extra characters in it that make it difficult to read (for example, at the end of every line the characters "=20" appear). Very likely, what has happened is that the person who sent the message has his/her email program set up for HTML instead of plain text. Messages sent to the WBMUTBB Digest (and any other mailing list of this type) work best in plain text. Most email programs should have a setting to correct this. I use Outlook Express - in this particular program, when typing a message, you can click "Format", then you can choose either "rich text HTML" or "plain text." So, if you send a message to the Digest and then when you read the Digest you see that your message is filled with strange characters that you didn't type, that's probably what happened. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 20:41:14 -0600 From: "Alan Davis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Photos of Don when in Colorado on August 12th Hello Everyone! Here's where you can see the Photos from Don Knotts' visit to Colorado on Saturday the 12th: http://www.bullwhackers.com/whats_new_bw/tournament_photos.htm Alan ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 21:43:02 -0700 From: "Martha Templeton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #286 It's me; it's me; it's Martha T! Thanks, ya'll, for the warm welcome. I received my second newsletter today, and I so much enjoy the Mayberry talk. My husband is (don't tell anyone) not a fan, and he can not understand how I watch the same shows over and over and am still overcome with side-splitting laughter, even if I know the lines word for word. It's nice to communicate with others who appreciate the funnier things in life. Oh, yeah! The coach who encouraged Opie that he could play sports and the piano was an African American, but I don't know his name. He's the only one I recall. Thanks again, and lots of luck to you and yours.

Just once! PhoneHimAl >>> You obviously haven't seen the hilarious episode in which Gomer eats Welsh Rarebit. It causes him to sleepwalk, and during his somnambulating, he really lets the sarge have it! - - --Paul YES I THOUGHT THE EPISODES WHERE GOMER SHOWS SOME BACKBONE WAS A WELCOME CHANGE TO SHOW HIS STRENGTH! NOW IF ONLY DARREN STEVENS WOULD DO THE SAME WITH HIS BOSS LARRY TATE INSTEAD OF ORDERING HIM AROUND ALL THE TIME!! SOMETIMES COMPLIANCE TO OVERBEARANCE AS SHOWN ON BEWITCHED AND THE MEEKNESS OF DARREN TOWARDS HIS BOSS IS A LITTLE TOO HARD TO BELIEVE! AFTER ALL SOME OF US LIKE TO PRETEND THAT SOME FANTASY CAN BE REALITY WITH A GOOD IMAGINATION!! IT'S ESCAPISM FROM THE DAILY DRUDGE OF WORK ETC THAT MAKES LIFE SWEETER!

True Hollywood Story. I just copied the following from the E! web site. I'm going to assume that these are Eastern times listed. I'll be tuning in! - --Dawn in KC "Andy of Mayberry Premiere: February 6, 2000 Airs: Aug. 23: 9 p.m.; Aug. 24: 10 a.m., 4 p.m. For millions of loyal viewers, the imaginary small town of Mayberry was quite real. The town's inhabitants captured America's hearts and propelled The Andy Griffith Show to the top of the TV charts. E! looks back at this unforgettable slice of Americana and gives a personal look at the actors who brought the town to life. Interviews include Jim Nabors (Gomer), George Lindsey (Goober), Elinor Donahue (Ellie Walker), Maggie Peterson (Charlene Darling) and Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), as well as director Alan Rafkin and Ron Howard's father, Rance. Archival interviews include Andy Griffith, Don Knotts and Ron Howard. Isn't it time you headed back to Mayberry?" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 11:43:17 EDT From: "Maureen Kowalski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: early morning delight Hellooooo Dolllll, I woke up about 5 am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I turned on MSNBC to listen to Headliners & Legends. What to my surprise was on but a whole hour dedicated to the entore TAGS show. They are doing classic TV shows this week, so I am sure this on will show up at another, more decent time to watch it. I was still foggy, and drifting in and out of sleep once I turned on the set, but they were mentioning specific episodes at one point, namely about Opie and the birds, and the kerosene pickle episode. They said something about the subtle humor in the pickle episode. Like I said I was still half in and out of sleep. I heard Andy and Barneys voices in interview segments and Gomer saying Shazam about something. If anyone know what time and day they are going to be on during prime time this week, please let me know, or post it to the digest. Thanks a lot, Fun Girl ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 12:57:20 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #288 I watched a old Clint Eastwood movie one of the cowboy ones and the girl who played Millie in Mayberry RFD was in it. She played a prostitute. Kind of a 100% opposite of Mayberry. By the way I'm new to the group. I love it. I have watched TAGS for faithfully for 11 yrs now. I love the way life was there in Mayberry. Alot of times I wish life could be like that here now.
