While Allen was a talented and prolific man who did so much and inspired so many, I wanted to point out what he did for us TAGS fans. For one thing, he gave Andy Griffith his earliest TV exposure (the A&E Biography on Andy shows one of those appearances). He is probably more remembered, though, for giving careers to his variety show regulars--one of whom was the multi-talented Don Knotts. When TAGS premiered in 1960 Knotts was not a stranger to most viewers and Steve Allen was the reason. If you get a chance to see any of Don's appearances on Steve Allen's variety show, you are in for a treat...

Actress Mary Lansing holds the record for playing the most different female characters on TAGS (I counted them up once - there were 11 or 12). She finally got the permanent part of Martha Clark during the eighth season, and she continued the role on Mayberry RFD. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2000 17:50:15 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Prisoner of Love episode I watched "Prisoner of Love" last night on TV Land, and I was wondering: was the epilogue left off? Was there originally an epilogue at all? Because after the last commercial, you saw Andy walking into the courthouse, thus catching the female prisoner's attempted escape. This didn't seem "epilogueish" to me, so I was wondering if they cut it out. Hope this makes sense!!

You will love coming home each day to wbmutbb. I remember another time when Barney got so involved with what was going on, on the show that he lost his adult objectivity. Remember when Opie found the wallet owned by Parnell Grigsby? Opie was looking at a toy catalog and asked Barney to look at it with him and they found a construction set, then Andy said he remembered having one as a child. He went on to describe it, and all the fun he had building a little bridge for his trucks to cross over a little creek by his house. Opie of course, was fascinated and he asked his Pa if they could build one too, to which Barney said to Andy: " Will you help us?" He was just as excited as Opie was. Oh, what great memories. Gotta Go! Everybody on the truck!!! Anita Carpenter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? From homework help to love advice, Yahoo!

I found out today why the Nutty Professor is so nutty: He's the son of Ernest T. Bass, so what could you expect! I think Jerry Lewis and Howard Morris would pass for real kinfolks. - --Jason at the Hotel _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 04:39:30 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Miss Clara Would Be Green This is a little off-topic but I would like to show off a bit. Please go to http://community-2.webtv.net/misspoovey2/AwardWInningPumpkins/ Check out my prize winning pumpkins! Do ya think they could have won at the county fair? Miss Clara would be green with envy...she only won a book full of blue ribbons! LOL!!! ~the groovy misspoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 09:05:20 -0500 From: "GRITTON, JOE A. (AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS Family loses a friend--Steve Allen Do you know who gave Don Knotts his first big break on television? If you guessed Andy, that would be understandable, but actually if you said Steve Allen you'd be correct. After a guest spot on the Gary Moore show, Don was asked to perform his 'nervous character' routine on the Tonight Show, (then hosted by Steve Allen) by Bill Dana, one of Allen's writers and a former associate of Don's. He was then asked back for a second appearance by Allen's associate producer. This led to Don's guest appearance on Steve Allen's variety show "The Steve Allen Show" which was very popular. Don related in his autobiography (Barney Fife and other Characters I have known) "..Bill Dana called to tell me they were considering the possibility of trying me out on the Man-on-the-Street segment. This was a running sketch in which Steve would ask funny people their opinions on current topics in the news....When the camera came up on me, I was shaking like a leaf. Steve Allen asked "Are you nervous?" "Nope" I shot bag bugging my eyes, and the house came down. The laugh was so big and so sudden, in fact, that it startled me. The rest of the bit played beautifully , and I was asked to come back the following week...They asked me back every week as it turned out, for the remainder of the season" Don further relates how he was given a three year contract to continue to work with Steve, and other regulars such as Tom Poston and Louie Nye. During the shows heyday they also had bigtime guest star such as Elvis Presley...and a fella named Andy Griffith. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 09:18:07 -0500 From: "GRITTON, JOE A. (AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Will Clint be a Who? Those of us who follow Ron Howard's films know that his brother Clint (No, Thanks Leon) usually appears in them. With the upcoming release of "The Grinch" I've been wondering what role Clint might play. Since we know thank Jin Carey is the green guy, and Clint's not a dog...I've come to the obvious conclusion that Clint must be a Who. living in Whoville. But who Who will he be? I've got a brown suit that's pretty plain the Untrained voice ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 09:50:35 -0500 From: "GRITTON, JOE A. (AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mrs. Emmett Clark >>On the episode I posted about previously, Aunt Bee the Crusader, I thought I saw Emmett's wife in that crowd of crusading women who were trying to help that poor (moonshine-making) farmer. I hadn't seen her on TAGS before, except on the color episodes that Emmett is on. She wasn't called by name, but I think that was her. She may have just been an extra at that time.<< This actress I believed appeared on other episodes as well. She was the store clerk in "the Bed Jacket" for sure. Seems like she was one of Bee's friends in another one...perhaps the Indian Elixar tipsy ladies??? We defy the Mafia!--the Untrained voice ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2000 01:47:27 -0800 (PST) From: Rafe Hollister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Paul's Number Quiz These are all I could figure out, Paul.
