How uplifting to know so many folks share our views on life. It is just too bad so few places reflect the good morals and peaceful life as our beloved Mayberry.I am so pleased to set a spell and relax.Thanks to TVLAND to make this a truly wonderful Mayberry Weekend. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 10:09:38 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #303 On the guest room controversy: The Taylors had a guest room in "Gomer, the House Guest." It had disappeared again in the episode where Uncle Ollie & his family showed up for a visit & Ollie slept with Andy & the aunt (name?) slept with Bee. Another Spirit of Mayberry show- The Cave Rescue. Andy & Helen crawl back into the cave so Barney can save face.

The first is "Man in a Hurry". He spends all afternoon pacing and making fun of Mayberry and Cora and Maude Mendlebright, and their feet falling asleep, Andy's apple peel, Barney's afternoon, and Goober taking his maw visiting. But when Andy and Barney sing "The Church In The Wildwood" it brings back a rush of memories to Malcolm Tucker and he finds peace. The second is when the bully is taking Opie's lunch money and Andy sends him to school knowing he's going to fight. The look they share and the hug Andy gives him as he goes out the door REALLY pulls and my heart strings. Long Live TAGS!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 15:25:06 -0400 From: Karen Bice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Clara Edwards Cooper?? Hi Gang! In the episode about Aunt Bee and the butter ad egg man, Clara Edwards mentions her 5-year relationship with Clark Cooper. We were wondering, does Clara get married in a later episode? Is she still Clara Edwards in the color episodes, or does her name change (again!), indicating that she married? I LOVE the scene in which Andy goes to Orville Hendrick's farm to talk to him about his "relationship" with Bee. Did you ever see the actor who played Hendricks appear in another episode or another sit com? Thank heavens for the talent TAGS was able to tap into!

Martha wrote: Wouldn't it be great to live in a world where Mayberry was the norm and we turned on the tube to watch people living hectic lives ... could spend lazy Sundays on the porch with Barn and Ange... go down to the diner every day for the blue plate special... leave two quarters for Olive... stop by Wally's fillin' station say a "lots of luck to you and yours" to my good friend, Gomer... strike up a duet with Charlene Darlin' whenever she and her musical family... - for a black and white future as a citizen of Mayberry, NC... I live in a Mayberry world each morning I sit on the tailgate of my truck, the dog by my side scanning for squirrels and I read the paper (a la Wally) in the cool of the morning. I live in a Mayberry world when I watch any of the news shows and am grateful that I'm not being the one arrested by a sheriff who goes by the book and not the heart because of the multiple law-breaker. I live in a Mayberry world when I pull out the Darling CD and play or sing along with the boys "doin' their music", cause I got time to breath. I live in a Mayberry world when I eat lunch with a buddy on Tuesdays at a place similar to the Blue Bird Diner, except I leave 4 quarters cause 2 quarters seems too little. I live in a Mayberry world when I e-mail with my AGS buddies and use the same Mayberry phrases first uttered 40 years ago. I live in a Mayberry world when I make and bake and eat the Johnny cakes that look a whole lot like corn bread. And I live in a Mayberry world when it's time to go to Mt. Airy to share those feelings with the other Mayberryites September 28 - 30th. Gary A.

I have seen him kiss Aunt Bee on the cheek but has he ever kissed his girlfriends? I really dont remember seeing him do that. Why dont we all get under our buckets and think about it. As far as Barney goes.... I would have LOVED to have been that lucky person. Elaine ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 16:15:01 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry, R.F.D. Episode Guide. Hey Folks, I updated the Mayberry, R.F.D. episode guide and added a link to it from the front page of the TAGSRWC web site. I put the episodes in the order they were originally aired. Thanks to WBMUTBB member Chad Palmer for raw material from his former Mayberry, R.F.D. web site. Also, Emmett's WAVs has been updated with more WAV files!! Andy, Barney, Floyd, Aunt Bee, Ernest T., and Briscoe's pages have all had new files added. They aren't marked "new" so you'll just have to browse around and see what you might like to download. Thanks Emmett!!! http://www.tagsrwc.com/trickytimers/ Allan Newsome "The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club - Webmaster http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 16:08:25 -0400 From: Lisa Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #301 > Did anyone ever notice that in the Mountain Wedding episode when Dud and > Charlene are getting married the preacher asks Dud if he promises to love, > honor and OBEY Charlene? Well, I tried to get my husband to do the same thing, but he wouldn't say obey, so I didn't either. My mom said, "Lisa, don't make promises you can't keep." I think Dud just knew that obeying Charlene was the right thing to do. ;) > Also in that same episode Ernest T. Bass knows how to write! I thought maybe Ernest T. had someone to write it for him...or it could be just another of those delightful inconsistencies that gives us something to think about! And someone asked about the Italian restaurant - that was Morelli's. (You can sit right there and watch them pound the steak!!) Y'all have a Mayberry kind of day...Lisa ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 17:54:33 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Rain in Mayberry I haven't seen the episode in awhile, but I seem to recall that in "The Cow Thief" episode, there were three sets of boot prints in the mud. The thief wearing one set and the cow wearing two sets.

I never paid that much attention to it before.......when Barney was talking I was concentrating on watching him. I've found myself giggling as much over Andy's face as Barney's words. Another thing I've noticed..........during the openings of the B&W episodes Opie is walking on that ole dirt road like his feet don't hurt a lick. And they probably didn't. But have any of you noticed that during the openings of the color episodes, when Opie is much older, he steps kind of lively over that ole dirt road? Each time I see one of those openings I find myself saying, ouch, ouch, each time he takes a step. Takes me back to when I never wore shoes much in the summer when I was a little girl and the soles of my feet were tough but as I got older I didn't go barefooted as much so when I did, I also stepped lively up the roads cuz the soles of my feet were tender. To Jane E. in GA.... I didn't order Swing Tapes, Southern Songs or the Love Songs. But I did enjoy those commercials much better than the one that was shown over and over and over again back when TBS did a marathon.....Demi Moore in the movie Striptease. I'm glad TVLand is showing "family" commercials during a family program. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 19:57:40 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #303 I've been told johnny cakes are the same as cornbread but it contains sugar. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 19:53:13 CDT From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Who Is That Attractive Woman? Hi, Beautiful Preserved People of Mayberry! Who is that attractive woman that keeps appearing in crowds scenes, sort of a female version of Johnny Coons, but she never says a word? Here are some scenes where she has appeared. In the episode where Barney almost arrests the entire town, when she comes out of the cell, Andy says to her, "Hello, Nellie. That's a nice dress." (Something close to that anyway.) In the Newton Monroe episode, when Andy and Barney are beginning to run Newton off for selling junk like Thelma Lou's fake fur, she and a man (her husband?) were about to buy some Chinese bowls. And when Barney is trying to find a wife for Andy, just before he sees Andy with Helen, he and Thelma Lou spot this mystery lady walking by the car, and as he goes to write her name down (it's something like Annabelle, but I can't really remember), Thelma Lou tells Barney, "She's married." Also, when Otis drunkenly rode his cow to the courthouse, she was front and center in the gathering crowd. This lady is everywhere on TAGS. She wears her hair short with a curl to it and the collar of her dress is usually turned up I'm just wondering if anyone knows WHO SHE IS? ALSO: Don't you all think that lady in the gift shop didn't exactly use the best judgment giving a little boy stockings as a gift for a lady? Call me old-fashion (and I am) but I think that gift is an awful one. She should have shaved a few cents off the next highest price gift maybe--but, I know, we couldn't have had the show if she did that.

As you all know, "Convicts at Large" is one of my top five favorites. I consider it a flawless episode. But I do have one little question that has been preyin' on my mind: if Andy hadn't shown up when he did, how was O'Malley planning on getting home? Like, where was this rich guy's car? Did he just call people up to give him rides out to his cabin in the woods? Laura Lee Hobbs, dime store clerk & gold truck watcher extraordinaire, and a real average gal who still gets away with more than her fair share "Oh, my Barney, Oh, my Barney Had a jail and couldn't lock it, Had a bullet for his pistol Had to keep it in his pocket." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 22:12:07 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TAGS, the Quintessential Tranquilizer In a message dated 09/04/2000 10:23:26 AM Mountain Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << . . . . especially the one from Danielle that stated she had to watch TAGS every day or she would have withdrawals. Nothing and I do mean nothing can cheer me up like a good ole TAGS episode. . . . Jenny in Alabama >> The above sentiments from Danielle and Jenny struck a note of accord in this reader. Until 3 years ago, I worked a long-term job position full of incredible stress and conflict. Each day I came home in total exhaustion coupled to mental and emotional fatigue. I'm here to tell you that THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW saved my life! As quickly as possible after work each day, I'd collapse into my easy chair, rewind my VCR tape, and play the TAGS episode automatically recorded earlier that day. Within the first 5 minutes of the show, this wonderful natural tranquilizer would begin its soothing and healing work. It was my escape, my therapy, and my reconnection to a time long ago when life was a bit simpler, when people cared a little more about each other, and when paramount stress evolved from little more than how Aunt Bee's pickles tasted. Thank God for TAGS, and Long Live Mayberry!
