I got the impression the truck was rushing off to somewhere.

Andy Griffith starred as a guy who built an Apollo rocket out of old NASA salvage parts - and the thing flew! I'm thinking this was a failed series, but my thinking bucket isn't available right now so I may be wrong. I know there are some TV addicts who can tell me all about this show. Thanks.

Mr. Schwump >>> Yes, twice in fact. One episode concerned Opie's running away to join the Marines; the other was when Gomer came back to Mayberry on leave, only to find that the Taylor family and Goober were away on a camping trip. Many, many familiar faces from Mayberry were seen in episodes of Gomer Pyle - USMC (too many to list here; there must be at least 100 of them), but the only actors to play the same characters on both shows were Gomer, Goober, Andy, Aunt Bee, Opie, and Sgt. Carter. Speaking of TAGS cast members appearing in other roles, there are a lot of them in Hitchcock's "North by Northwest," one of the greatest suspense films ever made (I spotted about 8 or 9). Not counting "Return to Mayberry, the two films with the most Mayberry actors are probably "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" and "Angel in My Pocket," with about 15 each. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 08:07:04 +0100 From: Paul Jennings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: firetrucks I remember Goober and Judd (as deputies) talking about an accident involving a "hook-and-ladder" "over at 4th and Main......the biggest wreck I ever seen!" "I think I've heard just about enough about that tomato!" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 10:04:27 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry Fire Dept In a message dated 9/14/2000 6:17:55 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Can you just imagine how boring it must have been to sit around the fire hall waiting for the fire that never happened ? My gosh, no bingo, no firemen's carnival, no firemen's parade.....wait a minute, maybe NO FIRE DEPT. Does anyone recall actually seeing a fire dept, a fire truck or a fireman ? >> Don't remember seeing an actual fireman unless there were some cleaning up after Jubal's fire - would have to dig out that episode to be sure but I do know they had a firehouse because one night they had a boiled dinner and played cribbage and Aunt Bee tried to get Andy to attend. BTW - a boiled dinner sounds terrible - almost as bad as grits and prunes - would rather have fried catfish any ol' day.

Which episode had the most characters?

Hey Bec! I've studied on Barney saying "bread and butter" and if you notice he says it as they are about to pass around a tree. I found this explanation in a dictionary of American slang a while back. I'm not sure of the details on why, but it is a superstition when people are walking together and are separated by something (lamp post, etc.) to say "bread and butter". And we know how Barny is very superstitious - so this must be why he said it. Speaking of bread and butter, I gotta go - time for lunch at the diner- Three Vienna sausages, (heavy on the tomato puree), slice of bread and butter on a paper dish. Not to mention a more than ample portion of succotash. I don't know how they do it for eighty eight cents.

The first was in season 2 on "Opie Taylor USMC" when Opie runs away from home to join Gomer in Camp Henderson. The second episode was in season 4 when Gomer returned to Mayberry for a surprise furlough visit (I don't have the episode name handy) only to find Andy, Bee, Opie and Goober out of town. At the end of the episode, Gomer leaves on the bus, and sees the Taylors and Goober pulling up in front of the courthouse; the characters only appear in that very short cameo. Trivia: Gomer asks why Floyd's Barbershop has been replaced by Emmett's Fix-It Shop, and is told that when Floyd retired he went to live with his daughter in Mt. Pilot after her divorce.

I didn't realize that the little biography I wrote was going to be published. Had I known, I would have tried to put in something a bit more interesting! Like I said, I'm a big TAGS fan or at least I thought I was until I read some of your postings - some of you make me look like a real amateur. I got away with naming my son "Andy" without raising suspicion. My wife didn't realize what a big TAGS fan I was at the time but later figured out why I agreed to that name so quickly. She absolutely wouldn't discuss Helen as a name for our daughter. She did compromise and let me name the dog "Baxter McBeevee". I, like all of you, enjoyed the marathon over Labor Day. I was wondering earlier today if there's a chat group anywhere talking about how great "The A-Team" was this past weekend, ha,ha!! As for me, I'll gladly contribute to the fund for the "All Andy, All the Time" station. Thanks again, Steve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 22:11:02 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tricia Fendt) Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #316 Just want to thank all of you for being here when you are needed ! Will let you all in on a lit'l show biz secret if you don't tell the world that I admitted this . Just kidding. But the big secret is that you can get addicted to entertaining people, to the point that when you're not "On" you get depressed real fast ! Well I guess, being in Magic, I'm one of those addicts . When I'm not out doing a show somewhere I usually sit at home counting the hours until my next gig ! Well, that was before I came across TAGS . Now, no matter how low I feel, I always find myself smiling over the memories you folks bring back to me with your remembrances ! As Andy would say, "Your Sure Are Fine Folks". And I really don't care if the world knows I get a little low now and then, I've got TAGS friends now ! Chameleon and a Clown Magically yours. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 08:18:03 -0500 From: "Hull, Darrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: George's Steakhouse I live in Springfield, MO, and I'm very familiar with George's Steakhouse, but I'm not sure about the George Lindsey connection. It does seem like I heard something like that years ago, but I think it was largely dismissed as an urban legend in these parts. Anyway, if anyone's interested, I can take a picture of it so's you can see it for yourself. ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #317 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
