Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #9 Changing Jobs Working in Mayberry [none] Re: Only a Rose ANDY'S GRUNTS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 12:01:39 -0600 From: Keith Miles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Job Since I'm an attorney by profession, I'd love to be an attorney in Mayberry...only problem is, I don't know how to put up aluminum siding! I probably could do a decent job of callin' the balls and strikes behind the plate during baseball season, just as long as Opie wasn't on the team. Opie Taylor, Sr. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 12:07:39 -0600 From: Keith Miles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Taylors' Side/Back Yard Another episode where the Taylors' side yard is seen is #202 "Opie Finds a Baby". I recall that Opie and Arnold hid the baby in the clubhouse in the back yard during that episode. With the move of the Taylor's back door to the side of the house, it seems to me that the side yard in the "Rose" and "Baby" episodes would actually be in the driveway of the house, since the driveway is on the right side of the house (looking from the front), with the detached garage behind and to the right of the house. Anybody have any explanation on where the driveway and garage went?

Mayberry Job? Homemaker like Aunt Bee.

I put my bucket on and decided that I would like to have Thelma Lou's job. Now I realize we don't really know what she did, but she did work in an office. Evidently it was a pretty good paying position because she lived in a nicely furnished home, wore pretty clothes and could go downtown to buy linen shoes whenever she wanted. Also don't forget, she and Barney usually went dutch treat so she had to have some spending money(you know the folding kind). Her hours must have been pretty flexible because she could take off to go see the dentist in Mount Pilot or spend the day making brownies with Opie. And her evenings and weekends were free for gluing covers back on hymn books or watching that doctor show on tv. All in all I would have to say that Thelma Lou had it made! Andy-"Did you have the shrimp cocktail?" Barney- " Well no. I told Thelma Lou let's not fill up." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Always enjoy my newsletter every day...just can't get enough on TAGS. As for jobs I would love to be the new manicurist in town...of course I would also like to LOOK like Barbara Edens too. My all time favorite episode has to be "Opies Three Wishes" Barney is hilarious in that one as he is of course in so many. My 14 yr. old loves "The Haunted House". Wonder if anybody out there know how many episodes Ole Barn does that hilarious thing with his hair out of frustration usually from Andy teasing him..you know ..where he takes both his hands and flings all that hair he has slicked back towards his face...cracks me up every time... My question is...most of us Tags lovers tend to lean towards those 60's sitcoms alittle and I would love to get a few tapes of the B/W episodes of My Three Sons..especially the last season where Mike gets married. If anyone taped the marathon or has them taped please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 14:17:51 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: You can't just walk in off the street and be a barber >>>Corey - Like Mr. Lawson's cash register, you're playing my song. I also would like to have Floyd's job, but I'd need to borrow some of those Buttface cats of Darlene's to practice on first. Jeff Krentz >>> Forget it Jeff, you don't have the magazines to swing it. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 14:20:59 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: drugstore >>>When I move the Mayberry, I am laying claim to the soda fountain Walker's Drug Store. Seems to me that Opie had that job for a while. dan >>> Sounds good to me! Will we all get extra chocolate syrup, and free ice cream cones for not saying "ain't?" - --Paul P.S. When Opie worked there, is was Crawford's, but it was probably still the same store with a different owner. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 15:31:32 -0500 From: "Anthony Craver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Floyd I think one of the most hilarious scenes in the entire series is in "Convicts at Large" when Floyd is sitting beside Barney on the couch eating the banana. This man was a comic genius. Even without saying a word, he totally cracks me up. Other word-less Floyd favorites are when he pulls up his pants and runs back in the door at the end of "Convicts at Large." And when he gasps and puts his hand over his mouth when Andy suggests he tell the truth to his friend in the "Lonely Hearts Club." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 16:17:59 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Women Convicts I agree that the show with the women convicts is one of the funniest. I love the part when Floyd returns from town and anounces "We're home!" During Barney and Big Maude's dance, did anyone notice Big Maude's shoes? Not exactly prison issue. The bigger they are the nicer they are. AND TAKE THAT GUN OUTTA YOUR MOUTH! Jack ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 16:46:20 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #9 convicts at large I also thought that episode was great. Especially when at the end when Floyd comes out the door and say's, " Maude, Al, don't blame me if the hamburgers are burnt ! " I loved the way Barney rolls his eyes and Andy starts to laugh. Great show ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 16:48:50 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Was Lucy In The Mayberry Jail? Hi To All! I was flipping my television on and over to one of the NFL playoffs yesterday when I saw an "I Love Lucy" episode on TVLand. It had Lucy in jail with Ricky, Ethyl and Fred sawing her out while Tennessee Ernie Ford played "Old MacDonald". The jail looked to be the same one used on TAGS. The cell looked like the two in Mayberry and the door the sherriff came through looked to be the door that goes to the side room where Barney's cot is. I was wondering if these were one in the same jail sets since they both were on Desilu property? Landsakes! I forgot my New Year Pickle Inventory! Sandi ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 16:49:50 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #9 > << Now, I've read a lot about you people naming pets after characters on > Andy. > Has anyone named a child? >> Ten years ago I named my son, Taylor. The choice was influenced by TAGS as well as (don't laugh) Planet of the Apes, where Charlton Heston's character was called Taylor. I always liked that name. We didn't know of any other Taylors at the time, but soon after, it had become kind of trendy. But credit goes to ol' Andy. Makes you wonder who actually came up with these great names. Probably Danny Thomas or Sheldon Leonard. Greg Johnson ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 08:10:37 -0500 From: "GRITTON, JOE A. (AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Changing Jobs Well, I chimed in early that I would be editor of the Mayberry Gazette, (So I could write about the fine folks of Mayberry for real) but it appears that the Gazette is going to be pretty well staffed with others, so I am going to follow the lead of many of you, and go with what is closest to my real job (after all I'm not a real writer, just a fan fiction dreamer). I work for the "phone company" so I guess I'll be...(don't worry I'm not going to crowd in with the other Sarah helpers...who would want a man operator anyway?) a lineman like Mr. McBeevee. I would get to walk in the trees, jingle when I walk, wear a silver hat and have all those extra sets of hands. As for that smoke out of the ears thing, well I don't smoke, so I guess that would only happen if I got really mad, like Barney. Now some may argue that McBeevee was a power line guy and not a telephone line guy...but this is my fantasy OK, so play along. I have, on a couple rare occasions, worked up on poles, but I climbed a ladder not a tree. What would be cool is every time I climbed down, that powerful music would play (Da-dumDa-dum Da-dumDa-dum Da Da DaDa Dum Dadum). At my real phone company I work in New Products, but it don't appear there's much need of that in Mayberry...so in addition to my pole work, I would keep Sara's switchboard in tune. I would also work on the transmission volume for long distance calls. It appears that sometimes folks have to yell. (Hello Andy! It's me, Aunt Bee calling from Mt. Pilot!) I would also keep that old Candlestick phone in the Courthouse in working order. Ole Barn keeps them wires hot with his calls to Jaunita at the Diner. I would install extension phones for progressive folks like the Taylors, who want 3 or 4 phones. Being a New Products guy, I thought about expanding the capacity of the town switching system, so somebody could talk on Sunday afternoon besides the Morrison sisters...and maybe putting in dial phones...but ya know, that just wouldn't be right, it wouldn't be Mayberry. I also thought about putting in a phone booth...but Ernest T would just break all the glass. I guess I'll just use my extra time to go fetch lunch for Sarah (since she is so busy and can't get away) and give away hatchets or quarters to nice little kids who talk to me. Mayberry Bell, that has a nice ring to it. Someone mentioned Mayor Stoners' tendency to have run-ins with bears---it's all in a name, Parley Baer. (He also did voices for Focus on the Family's Odyssey series) Janet if you're going to be the Mayberry Photographer, you better have a pretty good camera, if you plan to try to photograph Barney's fast draw!. All God's children got a uvula The Untrained Voice ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 17:23:30 -0600 From: "David Chappell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Working in Mayberry Being a school principal now, I would have to continue that occupation in Mayberry. I would let the kids have their show without any objections. By the way, have ya'll noticed the oval window that appears in several episodes? It was in Ms. Crumps class and in the hotel. David,( they taught me that in school), from Alabama. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 18:39:48 -0500 From: "ROBIN BANKS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [none] Hey, I too love convicts at large. Don't forget, "Let me take you to the land of rhythm and pleasure." and "I hate crowded ballrooms." Lots of luck to you and yours, Robin in KY aka ole Barney Parney Poo. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 18:44:58 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Only a Rose Aunt Bee of Orlando Wrote: >>Well, I saw my favorite episode "Only a Rose" last night for the umpteenth time and swore I wouldn't cry but I did. That kind of self-sacrificing friendship just overwhelms me and moves me to tears every time! >> Try to pull yourself together Bee.

Have you ever noticed how many little grunts and vocal "noises" Andy makes? Usually when he's settling down to relax in a chair to read his favorite magazine, or when he's had great meal from Aunt Bee.Sometimees he'll rub his hand across his face when he does it. Just listening to Andy make those little noises relaxes me. I wonder if he did that most of the time ad lib, or if the writers suggested it?
