Even though that is the way it usually turns out in marriages, I thought that in most wedding ceremonies that line was for the woman. No offense, women. Also in that same episode Ernest T. Bass knows how to write! He wrote that note on the rock he through in the Darlin's shack. I think it said, "Charlene, I still love you and want you. Ernest T. Bass" He must have forgotten how before the Mother Figure episode. Boy, You've had some crazy ideas in your time, but this is the worst! - Barney ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2000 14:02:52 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Steve Allen I think there are a few on the trading circuit. One clip I've seen often has Knotts as a nervous man pressed into service as a weather forecaster, without a script. I also remember him as the nervous guy on the "Man in the Street" segment. Once he identified himself as a munitions officer named K.B. Peterson. Allen asked him what "K.B." stood for and he yelled "Ka BOOM!" There was a late 1970s series called "Steve Allen's Laugh-Back", in which he and his former regulars recalled favorite episodes and showed clips from the original series. If you find one with Don Knotts as a guest...let *me* know!

Best wishes, Rafe and Stacy. And keep Otis away from that punch bowl!!! God bless. Mrs. Darling (honest) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2000 23:41:40 GMT From: "Doug & Maria Largent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 2 things 1. Until today while watching the marathon on TVLand (I'm glad I'm visiting my parents in Blairsville, GA who have cable. I'm too poor.), I thought that Andy only called Ellie "Ellinor" once (i.e. during the Christmas episode.) But today I heard it twice more, at the picnic in the Ellie for City Council episode and at the end of the episode where Thelma Lou makes Barney jealous by making out she likes Andy. Are there other incidents, or are these 3 it? 2. On the episode where Andy is jealous of Ellie and the new doctor, Ellie asks the doctor if he had gone by Harvey Bullock's place. This episode was written by Stewart & Elinson. They were obviously giving our friend Harvey a Howdy Do. "Howdy DO, Harvey."

It shows up on eBay occasionally. - "Steve Allen's 75th Birthday Celebration" (1997) is available in stores, on line, and from Steve Allen's website store at www.steveallen.com. - In the early '90s, Comedy Channel (then known as Comedy Central) ran 1/2 hour edited versions of Steve's late '50s Sunday night NBC show. Naturally, Don is featured in almost every episode, and even Howard McNear showed up a few times. Ask around, because the collectors' market trades video copies of those episodes all the time. As a Three Stooges and Abbott & Costello fan, I've picked up copies of the episodes featuring them. Don Knotts played the sanitarium doctor treating Lou Costello in the "Crazy House" sketch (Bea Arthur was the nurse) on one episode. Funny! And, Howard McNear did the "Telephone Operator" sketch with Lou. Steve Allen's website has an email address where you can contact him: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Drop him a line and convince him to market video episodes of his show. At last report, he has co-ownership with MTM Enterprises. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2000 23:42:25 GMT From: "Doug & Maria Largent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 2 things 1.

I just watched the Christmas episode. That's when Miss Elly was still on the show. Allen or Paul, why did they have a Christmas show only one year out of eight? Also, did anyone notice the ads saying the DVD show (I like it too) would be coming on at 10 PM on weeknights? Are they moving TAGS or taking it off? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2000 22:52:01 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Don on Steve Allen Try Tim's TV showcase, or www.tvparty.com for more info. Also remember that Howard Morris (Ernest T.) was a regular on,"Your Show of Shows". ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Sep 2000 00:38:44 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: More on Hooty Hoot David wrote >>That episode was "Andy's Vacation" when Gomer and Barney go out to the >>mountains and Gomer tells Barney" if we get lost I'll make the sounds of and >>owl and go hooty hoot,hooty hoot and you can go chicachy chicachy like a >>squirrel." Hey David- Actually Gomer never says "hooty hoot" on TAGS. That comes from Gomer Pyle USMC, in the episode where Carter sends Gomer out on a scouting mission while participating in war games when he is captured. He escapes and announces his arrival back in his own camp with "hooty hoot, hooty hoot." In the scene from Andy's Vacation he just says "hoot, hoot."

Opie came home early from a camping trip. Goober sent him to Helen's for supper. Don't forget the secret ingredient (Oregano) Shhhhhhhhh. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2000 09:55:39 -0400 From: "Teresa Horstman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Markets "Who owned the "market" in Mayberry? Was It "ol' man Foley....or was it "Martinelli?" Could there have been two markets? And who was Harry...the guy that saw Judd take a piece of "free fruit?" (We'll make it good!)" And don't forget Norman's Groceteria, with the collie dog that had just been shaved for the summer and Al Becker! Y'all know Al Becker. - --Aunt Bee in Ohio ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2000 07:18:43 -0700 (PDT) From: SiameseCatLady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Spirit of Mayberry Yesterday I was watching the Fandemonium Marathon on TVLand and happened to catch the episode where Ben Weaver was trying to get Andy to evict the Scobies for missing a payment on their house(a $52.50 house payment, boy don't I wish mine was that). The way Andy tried to stall Ben and the way first Barney and then the other townsfolk chipped in and donated money, organized a rummage sale, etc. to help the Scobies pay their mortgage so they could stay made me think that this is a fine example of why we all love Mayberry and can learn so many lessons from it - the spirit of charity and community and working together to help a friend in trouble - Even Ben's eventual change of heart when Andy showed him how mean he was acting. This, to me, IS the Spirit of Mayberry. I was wonderin' what episodes you all think embody the Spirit of Mayberry. Monica __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I ALWAYS thought that the truck was parked a ways out of town and that is why Andy and Barney drove the squad car to the scene. I realize that no one ever thought we'd still be watching and RE-watching TAGS over and over again 40 years later but it seems strange to me that all this took place so close to town and especially in view of the courthouse. Please don't pick me apart for my observation. Just noting the oddity just as other episodes have their own oddities.

You better get yourself a room!
