My second favorite show of all time is the Waltons. I love family oriented shows and can watch them over and over again. I guess any other show that might rank with it would also be Little House On The Prairie.

See if this sounds familiar: Director John Masters is preparing for an upcoming production, when suddenly one of the key performers is forced to drop out. He gets very nervous, wondering who he can get as a replacement, when suddenly a volunteer comes forth. Without even bothering to hold an audition, he eagerly invites them to join the production, with disastrous results. Then, instead of handling the situation himself, he makes ANDY solve the problem. What I just described is actually TWO different TAGS episodes: "Barney and the Choir" and "The Pageant." While we're on the subject, as a music director myself I must point out that John Masters displays extremely poor judgment in selecting material. Why on Earth would he send away to New York for an arrangement that featured a tenor soloist, when he KNEW that Barney was the only tenor in the choir? What's worse, he doesn't seem to be able to distinguish a tenor from a baritone (he asks Gomer, a baritone, to sing the tenor solo. If he wanted a baritone, why didn't he just ask Andy to do it in the first place?) - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 16:46:35 -0500 From: "Jeff Koontz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Tribute Show Saturday night was another outstanding evening with the Mayberry Tribute in Danville, VA. With a smaller number of stars attending, each one had more time on stage then at some of the others shows I've seen. Ronnie Schell and Maggie Peterson-Mancuso, who traveled with her husband Gus, performed during the first half and Jean Carson, Betty Lynn, and The Dillards finishing the show. Everyone was available for autographs and Q&A after the show and each star stayed until the very end before heading out to get dinner (Betty Lynn said, "The rest of them are vegetarians, but I want a hamburger." Bless her heart). The Dillards' (less Rodney, but with Greg Bailey, who was in B'ham with them) highlights included Maggie joining them to sing "There is a Time" and the boys playing "Jingle Bells." Mitch said they were practicing in the hotel the previous night trying to think of something new to play and Doug suggested 'Jingle Bells'. They thought it was a crazy idea.... so they knew they had to do it. It was a great version with Doug and Dean both doing solos before Doug's banjo string broke. I was fortunate to get to visit with Maggie's husband and jazz great, Gus Mancuso after the show. He told me just last week, Fantasy Records called and wants to re-release the two albums he's made on one CD ('Introducing Gus Mancuso' and 'Music from New Faces'). I don't know when it will be available, but if you enjoy jazz music, this should be a good CD to add to your collection. He said Maggie is singing well and is interested in recording some new material, so we might have something from her too! A special thanks to WBMUTBB members Tim Hutcherson and all the Mayberry Undercover Agents for helping put the show together, to Phil Fox for bringing his squad car, and to Gary Wedemeyer for his technical support. There was lots of effort put into making the event a success and they did a great job in Danville. Jeff Koontz p.s. I'll let Tim & Phil tell you about their new acting career! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 20:32:42 -0800 (PST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anoher favorite I would have to say that the Waltons is another of my all time favorites because of the values the children on it were taught by their parents, as well as respect for their elders. One does not often see 3 generations living in homes today, as was the case on the Waltons, but the sad fact is that in some cases, grandma, or grandpa is sent to live in a nursing home. Granted in some cases, this is necessary, because of health reasons, but I think us oldsters have a lot of wisdom which could be shared with the younger generation.

You beat all you know that?!! Merry Christmas, Gil. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 08:08:26 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: barber shop poster In some of the barber shop scenes, Floyd has a poster on the wall that shows several different styles of haircuts. What it is interesting to me, is that in my hometown barber shop in Seminole, Oklahoma, our local barber had the same poster up for years. I was wondering if any of you remember seeing that poster in your barber shop from years gone by? I spent many hours looking at that picture while I waited to get a haircut and when I see it in Floyd's, it takes me back to a special time in my life, my childhood. you're not talkin' to a jerk, you know!

I guess I go from one extreme to the other... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 08:56:16 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Other shows I'm with you Crystal! I enjoy lots of the old shows and a few of the new ones but nothing compares to Mayberry. It's my port in the storm of life, my comfort when falling asleep, my companion while doing household chores. I'd vote for it to be on a station 24-7 and I'd probably be tuned in 90% of the time, if I could keep the remote outta' my hubby's hands. He's a fan but not a fanatic like me!!

(AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Pick-ups and Splashes from Floor and Pool Barney's tipsy episodes...how could you forget Jubel Jubel Jubel Jubel Jubel...what were you making in that shed anyway? Someone asked a few Digests ago what role Rance Howard plays in the Grinch. He's the Timekeeper (with a long beard) #2 hey friends, lets honor our webmaster's/Editor & publisher's wish. The only #2 that matters here is "Do not write anything on the walls, because it takes a lot of work to scrub the writing off of walls". The new Lost Episode is very close-- I'm being careful not to over-promote here, but the new Fan Fiction story is just about ready. I'm currently struggling with HTML formatting before I send it on to Allan for posting on the Web. Just to inform those newer members, here's my philosophy on "Lost Episodes". These are new original stories designed for fans familiar with the show to imagine, through reading and visualizing what is happening on the show. For it to be credible, I try to be true to the characters and their relationships, as the show has displayed them. I also try not to mix era's. For instance I would never have Helen in the same story as Peggy and Ellie (wouldn't that be interesting though). Finally, I try to use some familiar sets (locations) but also have the flexibility to create new locations (which there will be in this one) I only re-use a few quotes for effect, most text is original. As in the TAGS tradition, guest stars will appear along with the regulars. A favorite tactic of mine is to try to fill in gaps of things we would have like to have seen, rather than challenge the brilliance of the familiar stories by writing something very similar...and here's the best part...anybody can do this, so after you see a few, put on your bucket and give it a think. ...or if you're one of those TAGS related poets..share your talent with us, as someone did in the past week. Most of the child-rearin books these days are in favor of bud-nippin The Untrained Voice ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 16:30:46 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #386 I saw an episode of GUNSMOKE on this past weekends TV LAND marathon that had George Lindsy , Hoke Howell , and Denver Plye all in the same episode . It is always good to see TAGS alumni in other shows. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 16:40:20 -0800 (PST) From: Anita Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Barney's Little "Nips" There was another time Barney enjoyed a little "Nip". Remember when Jubal Foster accused Opie of burning his barn down, and Andy went out to pay for the damages. While Andy was arguing with Jubal about the total, Barney sat down and picked up what he thought was a dipper full of water. He tasted it a couple of times before he got up and went over to Andy, who took one look at Barney and knew he had had a "little nip". Barney had to be helped to the squad care by Andy and Jubal. I laugh my head off everyone time I hear Barney try to interrupt Andy and Jubal by saying" AAAANDY........OH! AAAAAAAAAAAANDY!" Absolutely hilarious!!!!!!

I happened to have it on TVLand and Gomer came on. There are lots of actors who went from TAGS to Gomer (and others associated with Danny Thomas). It's too long to go into the plot here, but the "Prisoner of Love" was on. She gave Gomer a big wet one. And I mean to tell you he kissed that girl right ON the mouth!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 23:20:51 -0600 From: "Corey Sawyers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Barney, You're Gassed!!!
