He plays a young man who lied and used his older brothers birth certificate in order to join up. He was trying to prove something to a young lady back home, he is exposed as an imposter and sent home. He plays an angry young man but is very good in the part. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I saw this episode years ago at it's first airing. Everybody on the truck!!!!!

As a born and raised Texan, I have made several pilgrimages to the Alamo in San Antonio. There, hanging on the wall, one will find a portrait of Davy Crockett painted by someone who actually knew what he looked like. With apologies to John Wayne, Fess Parker and half a dozen other actors, one realizes while looking at that painting that the actor who should have been allowed to portay Davy is George Lindsey. George is a great actor, so it's unfortunate that he may have been type-cast away from roles like that. Sam P.S. I wonder if Davy wore his bucksin pants pulled up to his chest? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Dec 2000 17:29:17 -0500 From: Kail Tescar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Tags and Dvd (Dick Van Dyke) I know Allan has said discussing our SECOND favorite show here in the digest in a no-no, so I wasn't going to write in and say how much I also injoyed The Dyke Van Dyke show. But I've noticed alot of other folks mention that show and I can't help think that the two shows actually have alot in common. Like none of the humor is mean spirited. I see so many shows that rely on put-downs. Characters making fun of each other and stuff. The closest thing we get to this on Tags is when Andy "picks" on Barney, but it always seems more good natured. As we say around here, The Andy Griffith Show is "warm hearted", and so is, I believe, the Van Dyke show. Also, both shows seem to be kind of timeless. Most of the humor does not seem "dated". So, can anyone think of any other ways in which the two shows are alike? Sincerly, Kail "Hoping Allan thinks this is on topic" Tescar Andy: "I thought you were thinkin the exact same thing at the time?" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Dec 2000 17:49:42 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Aunt Bee, and aliens?

I wish "Biography" would do an episode on her.>> Frances Bavier was a regular on "It's a Good Life" and "The Eve Arden Show", two shortlived 1950s sitcoms before TAGS...and of course "Mayberry RFD" afterward. She also made numerous guest appearances, including "The Lone Ranger", "Sugarfoot" (where I believe she played Annie Oakley!), and "Perry Mason". As far as movies, Frances is best remembered for two: "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and her last acting appearance, 1974's "Benji".

I've been trying to find a picture of Barney dressed up as Santa to use as wallpaper on my computer. Does anyone know of a website that would have a good-sized picture of this? I've looked around mayberry.com some, as well as a few other websites, but at the rate I'm going, it'll be next Christmas before I find one! :-) I've found a couple of small pictures (and could probably put them together into one .bmp), but would like to find a larger one to fit the screen better. Thanks in advance for any help! Beth P. "Hey, Barney. Say somethin' like Santy Claus." (Andy) "Ho, ho, ho, merry Christmas."

They are both very giving people, especially to their friends and co-stars. And people who have worked with them look back on that as one of the best times of their lives.>> If I'm not mistaken, I think Garner and Griffith were both inducted into the Television Hall of Fame the same year. I remember seeing montages in their honor on the Emmy Awards that year...

Ron Howard played a wounded soldier in a memorable episode, and Clara Edwards herself, Hope Summers, played a sassy nurse who testified on Colonel Blake's behalf at a court martial hearing. Of course, there were two M*A*S*H regulars who popped up in Mayberry: William Christopher as an IRS agent and Jamie Farr as a gypsy.

ET1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE:Danville Reunion OK, So I'm being slow here.......Did I miss a few digests where somebody or several folks gave a report on the Mayberry Reunion in Danville last weekend? We were out at sea, and had problems with incoming email. Thanks, Jim Hady, onboard USS Enterprise, Norfolk, VA. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 17:42:39 -0600 From: "Cheryl K. Whitlock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: wbmutbb-digest V2 #389 Hello from Cheryl in Opelika, AL Thanks to the members who emailed me privately, it was great to hear from you. Several of you echoed my sentiments about Peggy. I think she had the greatest voice and was more "Southern" than Helen. I do not want to stray from TAGS too far and tick off the webmaster, <g> but I wish someone would show the old 1960s westerns: Rawhide, Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, Laramie, etc. Those were really great shows. I guess my second favorite show would be Dick Van Dyke. I have a set of canisters on my kitchen counter just like Laura has. They were given to me by my husband's Mom. (I hate the term mother-in-law!) They are about 40 years old and made of copper. TV Land has been showing COLOR TAGS lately, and I hate it. To make matters worse, they have WARREN in them. I HATE WARREN!!! I want to punch his lights out everytime he starts with Yeah, huh, yeah huh. I read that he did not fit in with the cast at all, and that is why he was on the show such a short time. Thank goodness! Bye for now, Cheryl "Now, tell me, when is a law man ever really off duty?" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 19:11:44 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Rule Breaking........ << To make matters worse, they have WARREN in them. I HATE WARREN!!! >> Needless to say, this breaks Rule #2 all to pieces. Remember Rule #1. Obey all rules. Rule #2. Don't talk about things you DON'T like about Mayberry and the folks that live there. There should be plenty of things that you DO like that folks can talk about. Keep things positive and folks will enjoy themselves much more.

When he stopped he was by a lake, and, lo and behold, a closer look revealed that it was Myers Lake!!!!! If you look closely on the Waltons (among many other shows) you can see some familiar scenes from TAGS...........

You're right, I saw her once and wow, was I surprised. Surely she must have been in other things, too. She was "Aunt Bee" in this, too. Hey, my daughter just got a part in her high school play - this will be her 4th part in her school year - she wants to be an actress - wish Aunt Bee or Helen were around to give her some advice. :) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 19:18:19 -0600 From: "Linda Poindexter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: digest V2#388 I never tried to enter a barber shop, but I know "girls" also didn't go into "pool halls." Also, I grew up in Illinois, where it was really hot and humid in the summers, so I would wear "shorts" around town. Some of the girls a few years older than I were scandalized, and I was mortified. 'Course, I didn't stop wearing the shorts, oh, well...at least I never wore white after Labor Day - a person has to have standards! :) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 21:06:10 -0800 (PST) From: pmmscan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #389 I did come across one of these thermometers about a month ago, and I was able to determine what product was advertised. Anybody want to take a guess? That has to be "Mail Pouch", I think the same ad appeared on some barns around here, years ago.
