One was the base radio & we had an outside antenna for it, the other was in his truck. Probably like the ones truck drivers had. The range was supposed to be only short range, but under certain atmosphereic conditions we picked up conversations from far away. Once were both cracking up listen to two people from Texas talking to each other. There were two channels that we could switch to. Some sheriffs may have had a base one & one in the car, but a phone like the man in the hurry had, amazing!

Concerning the comments about the scenes in the episode(Barney's new car) about why some things weren't written another way, and some scenes didn't make sense (like both in the back seat for a nap)..... it is kinda like in some of the old I Love Lucy shows,once the writers had the ending, (always funny) and punch line... they just worked backwards adding things until they ended up at a start of an episode that came close to making sense when it all went forward as it was supposed to be. If scenes were written backwards, so to say, then some details were NOT paid enough attention to.! The Henderson family says, "Merry Christmas and God bless you." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 18:33:10 -0500 From: "J. Leatherman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Tears In My Ears I admit to sometimes shedding a tear or two during two scenes from TAGS. The bully episode, when Andy picks up Opie, and the epilogue from the color episode when Barney returns to Mayberry for a visit and mixes with Tina Andrews. In the epilogue, Barney has departed for Raleigh and Andy and Aunt Bee are sitting on the porch about dusk, happily reminiscing about the visit. Aunt Bee lowers her knitting to her lap and after a long silence says, "I miss Barney." Fade out. It reminds me of how much I missed him too when he left Mayberry. No wonder Andy wasn't always in the best of moods in the color episodes. He'd lost his best pal. Merry Christmas to all my fellow Virginians on this list and everyone on WBMUTBB.

I'm curious if I can stump even the great TAGS trivia gurus with this one: What is the percent sales tax in Mayberry?

Hope ever one is doing fine, saw an episode of Gomer Pyle USMC the other day and a pet store owner was none other than Hal Smith (Otis) Sgt. Carter was buying rabbits from him. I remember on the old Perry Mason series seeing Perry use his car phone this series was way back yonder, late 50's early 60's cuz perry drove those 60-67 4 door Lincoln Continental Convertables, Man I'd like to have one of those babies, with the phone of course. I remember my first cell phone, it was 1986, It was on sale at Radio Shack, with ever thang it ran about $1500. It didn't work very good for me, I returned it, got my money back. Does anybody know the year &model of the Darling's truck, I know it is a Ford, it appears to be a model AA (This was the big truck) theres has single rear tires (Most AA would have dual rear tires) maybe they jest coundn't afford the other two. what color was it, what was the license plate number? Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night Phil ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2000 09:01:19 -0500 From: Jeff Krentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Hubcaps Lesch > >Still, it's a wonderful episode and one of my favorites.
