Barney could make anything into a funny prop. Here's a couple more. Remember in the first "Class Reunion episode that fall apart trunk and how light that trunk got when they were lifting it (It's the counting) I love that scene, especially when Barn and Ange check each other out for split pants seams. Then he goes on to crack me up with "That was my daddy's rock" - leading right into the Cutlass reading and my all time favorite one word two letter line by Barney. Andy: Barn, I didn't know you were in Spanish Club. Barney: Si! That's where I lose it completely and nearly bust a gusset and have to get my my own seams checked. I also like the prop of Barneys pot of moulage and that determined and superior look on his face as he stirs with such firm strokes, whether or not he put the egg whites in to make it fluffy, I don't know. Got to get back at it. Hard at work on a gloomy Sat morning. ( CPA'ing, that's my main job, not fly catchin'.) A foot of snow on the ground, 36 degrees and raining and I haven't seen O'Malley all day. He said he was going to Dee-troit, didn't he? Oh well, the win-derrs are in tight, so the cold is staing outside, we've got Son House, followed by Lyle Lovett singing some gospel blues on my favorite radio station, WDET. Granted neither one is no Leonard Blush, but it is helping brighten up the morning. Jeff Krentz BigHead in Dee-Troit (HEY CHUCK!!!!) "You start with gum wrappers, and then it's paper bags, then newspapers, then tin cans, then rubbish. First thing you know Mayberry's up to here in litter! Now litter brings slums and slums bring crime. Is that what you want to see started here in Mayberry, a crime wave? Well I don't and I aim to NIP IT IN THE BUD!" - -Barney Fife explaining his personal policy on littering ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 21:28:03 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tricia Fendt) Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #398 Hi Folks, I just finished watching the Andy Griffith Retrospective on TLC # 20, in Buffalo, N.Y. It was on 8:00 to 9:oo P.M. It is coming on again and I'm going to see it again. Too bad my VCR isn't working but the one in my mind never breaks down, thank gosh ! I found out that it still gets my eyes wet and a lump in my throat when I watch the segment about Opie when he killed the mother bird. Thankfully the program, as always, ended on a happy note.Kind of silly for a grown man who is supposed to be hardened by now to be effected so by a tv show but I guess the folks on tags understand how this can happen better than the rest of the world, thankfully. The show will be on again at 11:00 to 12:00 tonight if any of you get this before then and can get TLC in your area. Hope so. Anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all and may your fondest wishes be fulfilled this year ! Chameleon and a Clown Magically yours. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 21:43:23 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: My Home Town My daughter and I were watching the TAGS episode where the guy (I can't remember his name) is singing My Home Town, which Aunt Bee and Clara wrote. My 9-year old daughter picked up on the fact that the song is actually being sung by Andy Griffith! I had never noticed that before, but upon listening more closely...by golly she is right! She's a trained noticer. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 22:06:12 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #398 << I'd like to know who everyone's favorite "cameo" character is. My vote goes to the famous Mr. Schwump. >> mr. schwump is DEFINATELY my favorite also.... pam in texas ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 00:58:06 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAGS in everyday life I love it when TAGS lines just seem to work themselves into my day. Earlier this week, at an office Christmas luncheon, one of our secretaries received a carved giraffe as a gift. Back at the office she was talking about how much she loved the giraffe and, almost without thinking, I said "Boy, giraffes are selfish!" Of course, I then had to go on and explain to her where that came from, since she's not quite the fan I am. Then tonight, while driving home from an event, I caught part of a basketball game on the radio. The announcer kept mentioning a key player named Bracey, and I had to say out loud (even though I was by myself) Nate Bracey, Nate Bracey, Nate Bracey, Nate Bracey. I always said you had one of the most musical names I ever heard. I think that's one of the great things about TAGS. It sneaks up on you during a routine day and gives you a bit of extra joy. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 12:20:11 -0500 From: Jeff Krentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Leonard Blush On Sat, 16 Dec 2000 18:37:06 -0500, you wrote: >I am kinda lost here, what is LEONARD BLUSH, LEONARD BLUSH? I thought I = >knew all of the episodes, but, I don't recall this one. Can you remind = >me, please. > >Your Mayberry Family, > >Cindy "OH, Barney"!!!!! as said by Andy Leonard Blush was mentioned in two episodes, at least. He was the famous "Masked Singer" and formerly a student of Elinora Poultice, so he probably was a Mayberry native. Barney says he only wore that mask until his skin condition cleared up. In episode 128 Barney's Bloodhound, Blush was portrayed by the voice of Howard Morris and sang almost as nasally as Ernest T. Leonard Blush shot up in star status so fast, two years after he began taking lessons from Ms. Poultice he was singing the Star Spangled banner at the opening of the insecticide convention. He was also mentioned in the episode "The Song Festers" as a student of Elinora Poultice. The line about LEONARD BLUSH, Leonard BLUSH is from Barmey's Bloodhound and is what Barney said to Andy when Andy wanted to turn the radio back on to the peaceful sounds of Leonard Blush on WPMD Mt. Pilot and Barney. The station had broken in to the wonderful version of "Sylvia" that Leonard was singing to announce that Ralph Neal had escaped from the state prison.

You asked about Jack Burns. He is 67, born November 15, 1933. He has a lot of credits to his name not only as an actor but as a write. He co-wrote the Muppet Movie as well as the TV show for example. You can read all about him on the internet movie database at: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Burns,+Jack+(II) I have always enjoyed his talents, especially as deputy Warren on TAGS. Of course he had some mighty big shoes to fill which for some didn't set too well, but Barney was gone and the show must go on, right?
