Fife....well, i heard a trivia question on a radio broadcast which ask "what was barney's middle name?"...the caller who answered correctly said a name which started with an M ( i'm sorry i forgot the exact name but it definitely did not begin with a P)....so why did i think his middle initial was a P ? pam in texas ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2001 19:36:18 -0800 (PST) From: Robin Jaynette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #1 Hey Folks, if any of ya'll were watching the Twilight Zone marathon, tell me if you heard what I heard in an episode called "The trouble with Mr. Templeton", it was about an actor and a man introduced Mr. Templeton to another man who was the producer of a play, I am sure he called the producer Harv Bullock , no one ever said the name again, but I am sure that is what he said. Also in another episode, George Lindsey played a deputy sherrif, but he was mean, it was hard to watch Goober being mean. There have been many TAGS folks in the Zone, it has been fun to look for them Robin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Happy New Year Phil ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2001 23:32:17 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: great way to start the year! Happy New Year to all my Mayberry neighbors! A warm welcome and a hot peach pie to all the newbies! and a special thanks to everyone who personally e-mailed me with comments on my Christmas story about Bobbie's coat. Ain't ya kind, ain't ya kind!! Our local station, Action 27 ran an And marathon today! Me and elvisfife spent the day cuddling in bed watching tv and snacking all day! The weather here has been unusually cold so we couldn't think of a better way to start off the New Year! LauraLee Hobbs...Welcome Back!!!! The dime store hasn't been the same without ya! Folks have been digging their fingernails into the chocolates looking for 'pinkies', old ladies have been clanking (and old ladies oughten not to ever clank!) and Gomer's been having trouble finding the ties with the acorns on 'em! We have desperately missed ya! Glad yer on the mend!

That kind of self-sacrificing friendship just overwhelms me and moves me to tears every time! Another fact that just warms my heart is reading about all you new members who are youngsters. Whenever I start to worry about what this world is coming to, I pause and remember there are decent young folks right here in our Mayberry family and it helps me to cope. Kindest regards to all our neighbors, Aunt Bee of Orlando ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Is Andy the Sheriff of the town of Mayberry or is he the Sheriff of Mayberry County, NC, of which the town of Mayberry is the County Seat. There are things said in some episodes which make me think the latter is correct. If so, what other towns are in Mayberry County, and are there any episodes in which Andy exercises his jurisdiction in these other towns? Just wondering Mike K. >>> Andy is Sheriff of Mayberry County, NC. He is also in charge of the township of Mayberry (since it lies entirely within Mayberry County and has no police force of its own) but his paycheck comes from the county, not the town (see "Aunt Bee the Crusader"). Dozens of other small towns are mentioned in various episodes (Bannertown, Triplett, Fancy Gap, Toast, Centerville, Ruby Creek, etc.) but we don't know for sure if they're supposed to be in Mayberry County, or some other nearby county. BTW, many of the towns mentioned on the show are real towns near Mt. Airy. Other towns held special significance to the writers, who worked the names into the scripts as a way of saying "hey" to the folks back home. Anyway, to get back to the question, we often see Andy solve problems in rural areas of the county, but we don't ever see him exercise his authority in any town other than Mayberry, unless you count the arrest of Hubcaps Lesch and her gang, but we don't know for sure where that arrest took place (she SAYS she's from Mt. Pilot, but we know how dishonest she is). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 10:24:20 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #413 Hey folks! Got my new Mayberry Memories book for my birthday yesterday! My wife gave me that and a book titled A Charlie Brown Christmas (I just love that show!). The Mayberry book is great! Couldn't put it down last night! As far as the TAGS Marathon on Superbowl Sunday, I thought about pulling out a tape from one of the years past on TBS. I usually take the time to cut all commercials out of my tapes but I have a couple of these marathons that I never edited. Thus, it may seem like old times if we put one of those tapes in and let it play all day (of course it took about 4 tapes to get the whole marathon on there).

Hello to all my Mayberry friends!...and welcome to all the new members. Hope everyone had a great holiday season. I haven't posted in a while because my husband and I went out of town the day after Christmas and just got back yesterday. I have missed the Digest terribly! I think my wishlist is gonna include a lap top computer so I don't have to miss out when I'm gone. I noticed that someone wrote in about Ben Weaver singing with Miss Ellie in the Christmas episode. This got me to thankin'...reckon why John Masters never thought of asking old Ben to join the choir? Seems to me that Mr. Weaver had a lot of talent in that department and would probably have been an asset to the group. Of course, imagine the episode where Barn joins the choir if Ben were a member. I can just hear old Ben now..."Sheriff, this has got to stop...now are you gonna do something about it?"...or maybe... "Sheriff, evict him!" Hope you all have many Mayberry days in the new year!

ET1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Dillards Video Hey Folks, I got an email from a Dillards Fan this morning, asking if I knew where she could order a copy of The Dillards "A Night In The Ozarks" video. I sent her the Weaver's Dept Store address as one place to check, but was wondering if ya'll might have any additional sources. Marti said she talked to Rodney recently in Branson, and he thought they were pretty much sold out. Happy New Year. Thanks, Jim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:38:13 -0800 (PST) From: Anita Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Ruta Lee I am a big fan of musicals, just wanted to note for other devotees, Ruta Lee is one of the brides in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. She played Darlene Mason (Hollywood trip) and also Jean Boswell the young reporter digging up dirt on Andy. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I just watched the episode, "A Wife for Andy" and I noticed something again that I have noticed every time I've watched it. After Barney sends in the first group of women for Andy to "look over", (this one's out, this one's a maybe, this one's good), he tells Andy that if he doesn't see anything he likes he'll send in another batch the next night. When he sends in the second batch, it's the same girls. Reckon they were all "maybes"?? Anyway, another thing in this episode that seems funny to me is that NONE of the girls gives Ange a second look once they get in the door. Heck, he can't even get their attention! (There was one woman who came in the door kind of touching up her hair while glancing at him but that was about it.) And finally, here's a question for the resident Mayberry genius, Paul Mulick. Is one of the girls in that group the same woman who played Almonzo's sister, the school teacher on "Little House on the Prarie"? And if so, do I get brownie points or something for noticing? One can never have too many brownie points, you know.

I was making a trash run the other day in my 78 Dodge panel van (318 Three speed on the column)...It's nice It's real nice. But anyway I was telling my kids that my ol' van runs on gas oil and prayer and then almost subconsciously I said and "Water and Air are free." I got me a brand new DVD player for Christmas,now I need me some TAGS DVD's. I now this has been brought up before so I apologize but could someone direct me to some good TAGS DVD's I checked Weaver's but all I could find was VHS. Thanks and God Bless, Mike Z.
