Martha, it must be tough to live with someone who doesn't appreciate or recognize some of the finest humor to ever be on tv. You're a real trooper. Although I don't know your husband, I have to believe that some day he will realize what he has been missing and enjoy this as much as you and the rest of us do. In the meantime, happy watching and welcome to the TAGS neighborhood. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 16:24:28 -0600 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAGS sighting TAGS fans, Was watching "Escape to Witch Mountain" with my kids this weekedn as was surprised to see Denver Pyle in it. What was most surprising was that he didn't have a beard or a mustache and looked so amazingly different.

He was probably the biggest mama's boy on the tube! >> (In my best Barney Fife voice) This is a CLEAR violation of Rule #2. Folks, please try to keep the two rules in mind when you post messages to the WBMUTBB Digest. I feel like with the number of new members we've gotten lately that it's time to restate "The Rules" for everybody. You old-timers might want to read through this just to refresh your memories and I think it's good for all of us to try and remember these tried and true rules.---- Allan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey Everybody, Boy, things have really been growing here in out little corner of Mayberry!! Because of that I think it's time to remind everyone what WBMUTBB is all about: We all know what Mayberry is about but do we realize why it is that we all visit there everyday? I know that the characters are great but more than that, they're friends. We "know" these people and it's just a joy to visit them every chance we get to watch them as they work their way through getting locked in a cell because the door "clangs shut" or any of the other wonderful situations they face. Things always work out in a wonderful way leaving a smile on our faces. Mayberry is an escape from the day-to-day trials we all face. A short trip to a place where every body cares about one another and where we can forget, for a while, the fact that "real life" isn't as much like that as we'd like. I started WBMUTBB back in 1990, along with several other good folks, and since then I've tried to make it as much like a "corner of Mayberry" as possible. I wanted this place to be somewhere folks could go and forget about the outside world and relax by reading about Andy, Barney, Opie, Aunt Bee, and the rest of our Mayberry family. To try and make that happen I've required everyone who wanted to join to tell us a little about themselves so we could get to know them just a little bit. After all, in Mayberry everyone knew everybody else and how can we have a community without having at least some idea about our neighbors? I've also had a couple of rules here and I try to enforce them. Of course Rule #1 is...you guessed it...Obey all rules. Rule #2 is this: Talk about the things you like about Mayberry..not things you don't like. I know some folks forget this second rule sometimes and they don't really understand WHY I think Rule #2 is important so let me just give you an example. Let's say I were to say, "Boy, I really hate Barney. I mean, look how stupid he is and poor Andy has to put up with him." If I said that (and meant it) what are the first things that happen to you? First you'd feel like, "Man, that guys a jerk!" Then you'd get aggravated at this guy talking about your Favorite character (and friend), Barney Fife. Even if Barney's not your very favorite character, you'd likely be upset about this guy talking about your neighbor. I've never heard anyone say anything like that about Barn but I have about other characters and folks forget that just because they don't like a particular character doesn't mean that character isn't someone elses favorite. You see, if I talk about your favorite character saying negative things about 'em it takes your fun away. I think that's enough about Rule #2 and I hope you all understand the rule. It's not to take away from your fun but to encourage you all to tell us about what's fun to you and share your good feelings with others. We have something special here. It's something you don't find often on the internet. No "flames", no "fighting", no "foul language." We have a place that children and adults can come and enjoy themselves. Mayberry is a wonderful place and I'm just glad to be a part of this little corner of it. Your Friend and neighbor, Allan Newsome "Who's Been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board?"

Well, of course, my son and I, at the same time said, "I before e except after c and e before n in chicken." Then he said, "Even I know that!!" Now I ask you, am I raising that boy right or what?

What a nice treat. For those who don't remember, it's a very Mayberry kind of movie, complete with numerous child actor guest stars taken right from TAGS' call sheets. It was made in 1966, so the kids look about the same. A real fun, touching movie with Fred MacMurry. I'd recommend it for one of those "small town Americana" fixes we all seem to need from time to time.

Hal did quite a few cartoon character voices. Two that come to mind right away are Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh and Goofy in the Disney animated short, Mickey's Christmas Carol. Does anyone know of other character voices he recorded?

I get teased because I like it and watch it so much. Its such a wonderful show.

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? I can't resist a challenge -- I will say Sept. 11, 1963. Andy says that the document issuing Barney his first revolver was dated Aug. 1953, which was "ten years ago last month." Then at the end of Barney's first day in jail, he marks an "x" through the number eleven. Ergo, the abovementioned date.
