Thanks for the tip. She also played Fiona "Pickles" Sorrell in the Dick Van Dyke Show (actually, she was one of two actresses who played Pickles). Best wishes in her recovery! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 21:12:27 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Alan Jackson and TAGS Hello tags fans , I just got a new Alan Jackson cd . On it he has a song called "Its alright to be a redneck" and in the song there is a line that says " its alright to be a redneck , its alright to have a girl named Thelmalou ." I thought this was a great way for A.J. to have tags in one of his songs .I have heard tags referred to in other country songs also . I may be wrong but I think I read in the Bullet some time back that A.J. was an honorary member of TAGSRWC .

Too bad they never cast her - this has been discussed before, but someone suggested that Charlene from Designing Women would have been great for that part - she would have been, but of course, Thelma was made for Barney). BTW, remember the episode on Designing Women where Charlene accused Andy of tricking Opie out of his allowance - do you remember any such episode? Say it isn't so!

Still don't know why much if not all of the crop was the same both times. Get you a bucket and thank under that for a while.

Gomer said it to Barney in the episode where they have to go into the haunted house to look for Opie's baseball. Neither of them wanted to go in so Gomer was gonna make Barn go in first!!

I spoke with her today and she is doing good, she still isn't able to climb her stairs to get to her computer but she wants me to pass it on to all, "that she is doing well, and can't wait to be invited to another Mayberry event". I was glad to see the notes from other TAGS members regarding Ms. Perry's roles that she played on TAGS. If anyone still wants to send get well wishes to her, I am still mailing her cards & etc. to her when they come in. If anyone wanting to send her anything please mail it to: Kathy Taylor/Barbara Perry.....397 Taylor Rd.......Hartselle, Al. 35640, I know she will appreciate all the support we can give her. Thanks again for all the concern from the best folks around. Sincerely, Kathy Taylor ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 22:16:44 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #4 > > Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 21:20:36 -0500 > From: "Robert Witt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Trivia > > Good evening, fellow TAGS folks! > > Trivia question I am trying to find an answer for: > > Who said to whom in what episode the following? > > "Age before beauty" > > > Answer?? > > Thanks!! > > Bob > [EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe that was Gomer to Barney as they went into the haunted Rimshaw house to look for Opie's baseball.

While watching about six of them between football games I was amazed at how many TAGS people were on them. I think everyone of the episodes I watched had someone that we have all seen at one time on TAGS. It kind of made ME feel like I was in the Twilight Zone!

While it may be true that the veteran actor who played "Otis" on TAGS was perhaps typecast as a lovable drunk, it seems that we, in our love and affection of his portrayal of that role, continually perpetuate the stereotype. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing that we naively do and have done with our passively critical doubts and cerebral ponderances; but remember that Foster Brooks, another veteran of stage, cinema and television made a name (of sorts) and lots of money, friends and fans in a similar 'typecast' persona {there were and are a lot of character actors whom we strongly identify with whom we know and love to watch but never know who they are: Jack Elam, R. G. Armstrong, Ben Johnson, Wilford Brimley, and who would ever forget Red (Richard) Skelton and his alters of Freddie The Freeloader, Clem Kadiddlehopper, Cauliflower McPugg or Bolivar Shagnasty?, just to name a few of the male character types. {There are many well loved and noted female character actors as well...} I believe that some of us are attempting to moralize too much and/or to denigrate the personality of the character played on the show to satiate our own social and religious consciousness' to the contrast of a fictional character played by a person who, as an actor, in reality is probably much more LIKE US than not. It seems that even in most books and other retrospective works that bestow our adulation and kudos upon TAGS and the actors who made it so real and inviting, "Otis Campbell" is still the Rodney Dangerfield of the show. When other characters are listed or mentioned, their real names are given for our association. But "Otis" is just "Otis" - usually. The actors name is Hal (Harold) Smith; and he does have credits that are "out-of-character". In his early career he played mob-type characters in Edward G. Robinson movies [alongside R. G. Armstrong et. al.], and in later years [as recently as the mid-to-late 1980s] Mr. Smith acted in a series of TV commercials in California as the thrift-wise check-out sacker for the Food Lion Grocery Store Chain ... Remember kids: Don't try this at home! - It's only TV, and if it makes us think then all the better .... But not too much! That's why angels have wings! 'Cause they take themselves lightly!!!

Just wanted to add to the bio my wonderful "sis" did. Don't live 2 hours from that wonderful town of Mt Airy. Have gotten my family so hooked on the show, that even our family cock-a-tail "Cheeks" can sing the first line of the Mayberry tune. Just hate Opie didn't have a "sis" as great as mine. Here's to you and yours. Be talking to ya real soon! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 07:44:48 -0500 From: "Dan Goodwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Look Alike Episode Saw a look alike Gomer episode yesterday. Both Gomer and Sgt. Carter bought cheap suits from a fellow selling out of his car (Sid Melton). Sounds an awful lot like the Don Rickles episode on TAGS. If you're remember, one of the gags was the fur coming out the mink Barney bought for Thelma Lou. While warning Gomer about buying from this salesman, Sgt. Carter even mentions he bought a mink from him where the fur came out. dan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2001 08:52:41 -0500 From: Don Good <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Mayberry Employment Agency >My job's making me weary. If you could move to Mayberry and take a job >there, what would it be? My first thought was glue dipper at the furniture plant. Even though Otis already has that job, I 'spect he'd need someone to cover for him when he's imbibed. Of course, they can always use a brine tester over at the pickle factory. And there's that opening for the experienced butcher. Think they'd ask me if I know anything about cutting meat?
