Okay guys, ( and gals ),
Never have written much but I've been patiently waiting to see something
on about my very favorite episode ! It was about Andy having to put this
extremely beautiful girl in jail . anyway, she tried to flirt her way
out but Andy wasn't about to buy any of it . I can't recall her name now
but i've been told that it was either Lois Medelson or Irene golonka .
She also appeared on a Star Trek episode where she had been disfigured
in an accident and her beauty was restored through illusion by Aliens.
Any wa, I hear that she is dead now. God, what a loss ! She had the most
beautiful eyes i've ever seen ! Well, enough chatter ! Love to all,
Frank
Chameleon and a Clown Magically yours.

>>>>>>>>I don't know if any of you can relate to this
and you all may even think I am a little NUTSY! But
there has never been another show that has meant what
this one has to me. The spirit, the attitude, the
people, the situations and most of all the comedy
helped get me through the hardest time of my
life. So when I say I am an over-the-edge fan, I mean
it in the best way and it comes from my heart>>>>>>
>>>>Crystal,
I don't think that you are nutsy. I know what you
mean, and I also think the rest of us can agree with
you. TAGS is something special and it will live on in
the hearts of people just like you and me. I have
that same feeling about TAGS. I mean where else can
you go and let go of all your worries and be carefree
like you can in Mayberry. I don't know of any other
show that can do that to me. So, you are not alone.
And nutsy we may be,but ain't it fun. So, don't feel
alone, you know there are others out there just like
you.
Have a Mayberry Kind Of Day!!!!!!!!
April>>>>>
Hey April and Crystal.
You got a big amen here! And folks may call us Nuts
but we can tell them we're screwed on the right bolt

>>>From: "Alison Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hey to all, I haven't wrote in lately but I've been enjoying all the good
discussions and comments. I've got a question I'm sure someone can answer.
Did the characters on TAGS have someone coaching them on their accents and
inflections?
>>>
I don't think they had a dialect coach, put it's possible that some of the
cast sought one out on their own. Several characters used Southern accents
early on (Aunt Bee, Thelma Lou, Barney) but soon dropped them because they
just didn't sound quite natural.
When you think about it, it does seem a little odd that almost nobody in
Mayberry has a Southern accent, except for Andy, Gomer, and Goober. Of
course, all three were played by actors who really were from The South, so
it WAS natural for them (Andy is from NC, Jim and George from AL). Don
Knotts was born in WV, but none of the other cast members were from The
South.

While on the subject of accents, I assume George Lindsey's accent is natural. I
understand at one point at the start of his acting career he was told to get rid
of the accent so he could be more widely accepted as an actor but then went back
to it for TAGS.

Subject: Re: Studying on Thelma Lou
We all know that Thel is definitely the cat's - and that ole Barn should
have married her before he took off to Raleigh, but I've been doing some
studying on the second "reunion" episode and I have a question for y'all.
It breaks my heart every time I see Thelma Lou come walking in with that
husband of hers, cause it just about kills Barney when he sees that Thelma
Lou done got married just six weeks prior. My question is as follows:
What was Thelma Lou doing at that reunion? Barn and Ange went to good old
Mayberry Union High, but I have my suspicions that Thelma Lou didn't.
After all, Barney tells us he met her at Wilton Blair's funeral in 1961,
wasn't it? I can't imagine Mayberry Union High School being so huge that
a big man on campus, such as our Barney, wouldn't have counted cute Thelma
in his circle of friends.
I can't remember ever running this quail through the room before, so you
all feel free to study on it a little bit and get back to me.

I think she used bad judgment, also, but I guess she was trying to get
Opie out
of the shop. But the look on Andy's face when he tried and tried to
explain to
Opie why the present was inappropriate, and couldn't get him to
understand was
priceless! You know, right before he walked out and just gave up
talking, looked
at Opie and the stockings, pointed and shook his head? That facial
expression
just makes me laugh hysterically every time!

- -That's what it means, all right! Melynn Nicole Mulik arrived at 8:17
Thursday morning (around army story number 17).
Hey, Paul! Does the hospital have a website where we can see your new
addition? Congratulations! (You could have named her Andelina, you know.)
Mike has me laughin' (I smell gas, too!) and Crystal has me cryin'. Thanks
for keeping the Mayberry spirit alive by sharing real stories about how we
are richer, corny as it may sound, for having grown up with this show. My
mother was telling me that there was a man who stood up in her church, and
was talking about TAGS. He said that if anyone didn't have a Bible, he
could just live his life by the lessons taught on that show. I thought
about that, and I guess I'd have to agree. Between the lessons and the
laughing and the tears, I'd say old Ange gave us a pretty good example.
(Mighty big shoes to fill....MIGHTY big shoes!)

Subject: Mayberry Mention
I was at a Gaither (Bill & Gloria Homecoming) concert last night in
Portland, Or. On the program was a man who said he was from a small
N.C. town & said that" they had a lot of Goobers & Gomers there, you
know, Mayberry." From the response of the thousands there, I would
guess there were some other Mayberry fans there. Great concert which
included some good old southern music where they came in at different
times with different parts, a type of music which someone mentioned
recently on the Digest.
Crystal, I mentioned a little over a year ago that my daughter took
Mayberry tapes to the hospital to watch on the VCR while she was in
labor. Mayberry tapes are always a comfort & joy to view, no matter what
our circumstances. I'm so glad they brought comfort to your family,
during a difficult time.

Subject: Mystery Lady & Mr. Cookie Bar
Hey to All,
I tell you what, Robin. I know just what you mean by those sinking feelings.
I get them, too. That's why me and Lydia always keep us a few
Mr. Cookie bars on hand down at the dime store or out by the road when I am
on gold truck watching duty. Start bringing them with you everyday and
you'll end those sinking spells real quick like.
I saw my mystery lady again the other day. (Remember the episode where
Barney jails the entire town? When she comes out of the cell, Andy says,
"Hey, Nellie. That's a nice dress.")
Anyway I saw her on the Henry Bennett show. Right after jinx Henry pulled
out the hat size instead of the winning number for the TV set,
she was standing right behind him when Andy gave his little speech making
Henry feel a whole lot better.
She's all over TAGS. And I just feel like "Nellie" must somehow be
related to a cast or crew member. Why else would she be used so often
and not get any credit for her work? I've never noticed her on another show
either. This mystery has me all worked up. Who is this woman?? I'm
fixing to have me a spell. "Lydia, get me a Mr. Cookie bar quick like."

Subject: Ernest T. Bass had taste!
Hey, beautiful people of Mayberry!
You know, for all his mean ways, and his living in the woods and
co-habitating with wild animals and all, Ernest T. Bass had good taste in
women.
I mean, you'd think no more contact than he had with the fairer sex, the
first woman he ran into would be good enough for him. But no. He chose
pretty women like Charlene Darling. And remember that party at Mrs. Wiley's?
Well, Ernest T. had the good taste to pick out the prettiest girl there,
didn't he? The lovely Miss Romeena. He didn't just run in the room grabbing
at women. He was choosy.
And I'll bet dollars to donuts that Hogette (it's French) Winslow was a
looker, too. We might could have seen Hogette if Ernest T. hadn't
hit her on the head with one of his love rocks, causing her to fall in-
love with the taxidermist what sewed up her head.
I think Ernest T. was a pretty smart guy. Misguided, but smart. If he
could have just learned to give up those rocks.
Laura Lee Hobbs, dime store clerk & gold truck watcher extraordinaire
Barney, commenting on the women at Mrs. Wiley's party: (appox.)
"Dogs, nothing but dogs. Andy, if you threw a quail, every woman in
here would point!"
