Barney could have married > >Thelma Lou & moved in with her. Any explanations? If you consider that Barney wanted to return to the Dinner and pick up his quarter when he found out that Andy already left a quarter then it all makes sense. He's probably got a huge bank account and that's why he was so concerned about security (remember when he dressed like a women and tested the bank security?). Hey, if he can take Thelma Lou out on a date and spend no more than a $1.25 he's got to be packing a nice ditty bag of a savings account! I think it's funny that Aunt Bee brought Andy and Barney's lunch every day except when it was convenient like in Dogs, Dogs, Dogs. Barney brings his lunch in a sack. And then some days he and Andy go to the Diner. But in each episode it is made into a big deal that Aunt Bee brings lunch or they bring their own or they go to the Diner. So which is it?????? Does Barney bring a Mr. Cookie Bar for his late afternoon pick-me-up even when he doesn't bring his lunch? Why doesn't Aunt Bee bring an extry serving of dessert? It would do her heart good to see a thin man eat! Harriet, Just sitting here with a bucket on a thinking, and a thinking, and a thinking. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I forgot all about it until I read your post. Thanks for reminding me of it. Now I have to go rent that movie and have my kids watch it. I loved Benji as a kid and tried with all my might to train every dog we ever had like Benji.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the one where Roger, an old beau of Aunt Bee's comes through town for a visit and is a total bore. No one likes him, including Opie! Our wonderful Harvey Bullock wrote this one and it's a dandy!!

Andy and Barney did a lot of fighting over a bowl of grape nuts flakes. And I also remember a few times when Opie threw a rock in the water at the beginning of the episodes, and the ripples in the water would form the shape around the Sanka Coffee label. At the end of the show, Andy would beg us to drink Sanka. He'd end by telling us,"It's GOOOOOOOOOOD. I 'ppreciate it and good night"! Does anybody else remember these? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 20:34:20 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Opie the Fish Dropper >>>I remember as a kid watching TAGS and the ending was different. It showed andy and Opie leaving the fishing hole with their catch. Opie drops one of the fish and wipes it off on his jeans. I haven't seen this myself, but I've heard that in the color version, when Opie picks the fish up, you can see it's eyeball fall out.....Al Becker "Daylight's precious when your a youngin'." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 18:44:25 CDT From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Sense of Humor Hey, Beautiful People (and you are beautiful, you know)! First of all, to Aunt Bee of Orlando: getting a TV station featuring Andy is just about the grandest idea I have ever heard of. Where do I sign up? Aunt Bee, now that's a million dollar idea I'd invest in right now! Second, Mr. Fatman, me and Lydia have lemon cookies waiting for you anytime you drop by the dime store. We just loved your response. You can tell me from Lydia this way: she will be the one wearing a hair ribbon on her head and I will be the one with the binoculars (for gold truck watching, you know). Also, she don't talk as much as I do. She hates chit-chat. Don't mind ordinary conversation, but the girl hates chit-chat. Third, Gary asked a good question and that was how we all carry the Mayberry spirit in our lives today. Well, I figure just about everybody at this site has a good sense of humor. I know I told my children, for heaven's sakes, don't get stuck with somebody--no matter how smart they are or how good looking they may be--who is a stick-in-the-mud. Can you just imagine going through life with a companion who never laughs when things back-fire? The characters of Mayberry allow us to laugh at them doing the very things we do--getting mad when we shouldn't, bragging when we oughtn't, gossiping when we know better, jumping to conclusions too soon, going against our common sense and listening to others when life experience should have told us better, in short, being people acting like people. Messing up but good. And still ending up loving each other. Now ain't that wonderful? In real life we may not always exactly love each other, but at least we can extend the measure of respect that every one deserves. And a lemon cookie now and then never hurt either.

It was a lot less complicated." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 21:02:42 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Opie the Fish Dropper If you have RealAudio, you can head over to TVParty.com and watch not only the ending with Opie dropping the fish but also a commercial that you may never have see. The link below will take you to the page and then look for the link titled "added scene from the first episode". You'll enjoy it. http://www.tvparty.com/unseen.html It is a little small and hard to see but you can watch it.

Barney could have married Thelma Lou & moved in with > her. > Any explanations? > Well, hoping not to break any Mayberry be-nice rules, I would say that one explanation is that Barney was very frugal and didn't think that a single guy needed a whole house when he stayed at the jail part of the time anyway (especially on those amber alerts or when Otis needed him). Or another probably more plausible explanation is that Mayberry just didn't pay their deputy what he was worth! Hey, I know Helen was a teacher and Ellie was a pharmacy gal, but what did Thelma Lou work at? I don't know if anybody knows the answer, but I'd be interested to know....Thanks, Lisa > > > ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2000 22:22:41 -0400 From: Theresa West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Paul Mulik's message > SHERIFF, SHERIFF!

Tonight I enjoyed hearing all the comments about many of us remembering Opie dropping that fish. I was beginning to think I had just dreamed it up!!! About the Petunias, the episode was when Aunt Bea's old "beau" turned up and stayed with the family. Remember he was a loud obnoxious man that only Aunt Bea seemed to like. He thought he could do most things better then anyone else. When he tried to tell Andy about how to take care of Petunias (or plant them, I can't remember for sure), Andy had had enough and let him know in no uncertain terms that he was the best!!! Way to Go Andy!!!!!!!! Another thought I had was concerning the thoughts expressed about the women of Mayberry living in houses and poor Barney in the Mendelbright Boarding House. I wish I could have one of those houses that Helen or Thelma Lou lived in!!! I wonder what would have happened to poor Mrs. Mendelbright if Barney had not been living with her and she would have gotten swindled!!!! The wonderful thing about Mayberry was that everyone watched out for everyone else!!!! Goodnight to all----------Chris, a citizen of Mayberry!!!!!!!
