See, the fact is, Andy's house seems to have changed addresses a few times over the run of the show. Here are the addresses that I can recall that were mentioned for the Taylor house: A) 24 Elm Street - Mentioned by Barney when he tells Horton the Taylor's address in "Jailbreak" 2) 332 Maple Road - Aunt Bee gave Col. Harvey this address in "Aunt Bee's Medicine Man" C) 14 Maple, "Right off Main Street" - Spoken by Andy himself, while inviting Dr. Peterson to supper in "A New Doctor in Town" Also, in "Barney's Sidecar", when Opie was burnin' their house number right into the door frame with his wood burnin' set, Andy stopped him before he got past the first number, which was "3". This seems to agree with the address given by Aunt Bee in number 2) up there. I'll see ya. Doug "Rafe Hollister" Garretson Col. Harvey: "Know what that means?" Opie: (shakes his head) Col. Harvey: "Nek-ku, Yattu-eh, Sho-sho-neh." Opie: "WOW." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

How's it going out there. Hey, ya know, we're all nuts when it comes to TAGS, but here's something REALLY nutty. This may sound crazy...but hopefully there's someone else out there like me. Has anyone else ever like...been able to memorize the "Laugh Tracks" that were used during the shows. (I'm specifically talking about the black and white ones by the way) But no like...over the years, i'm now able to watch an episode, and when I hear a laugh track, I can sometimes tell you ANOTHER episode that uses that same laugh track. The most famous one is a women going "Oh ho ho!" They use that one a lot! Well,,,anyway..just a little "technical tidbit" I thought I'd share. Lots of luck to you and yours!

I love that movie but do not recall Roddy McDowell as Ben Whitledge." That's because Roddy McDowell played Ben Whitledge only in the Broadway production of the show. He didn't appear in the film version. Janet ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

At one point, I did on online search for the pattern and found several options. Believe it or not, I am using the Blue Willow pattern here in Lagos, Nigeria! When I arrived for this overseas posting last year, I had to purchase all of my household items here. I couldn't believe it - down at the good ol' Cash 'n' Carry, I found it! Now, I have a service for 16! The company that made mine is Royal Wessex from England. Check out the internet - I bet you'll find something there!

I love that movie but do not recall Roddy McDowell as Ben Whitledge. It's been awhile since I've seen it so I could be wrong, but personally I never cared for McDowell as an actor and just think I would remember him if it was since Whitledge was one of the main characters. Put those buckets on your heads and let me know what you think. Lots of Luck to you and your. Cathy a.k.a Skippy one of Mayberry's fun girls at [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Actually, what I wrote was : "Finally, Ben Whitledge was portrayed in the play by Roddy McDowall, better known to most for his roles on The Planet Of The Apes." See, in the play Roddy was Ben. Nick Adams played Ben in the movie.

I use to have it on there when I first started putting the signature on my e-mail, but I changed it a while back and forgot to add it again. I messed up. Thanks, Brian ===== <a href ="http://www.geocities.com/southbeach/3250/darlings.html>The Darling's Tribute Page</a> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I found BELIEVE ME, IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS, FLOW GENTLY, SWEET AFTON, IN THE GLOAMING, OLD DAN TUCKER, and...........................................JUANITA! Wonder if old Ange and Barn used this book? The name of the book is 357 SONGS WE LOVE TO SING.

The name showing on the paper is the "Airy News", which I assume to be part of the real life newspaper, "The Mt. Airy News". Now, I know that Mt. Airy, Andy Griffith's hometown, was the basis for Mayberry, but was Mt. Airy ever actually mentioned on TAGS? Skip K. >>> No, but the Mt. Airy News is seen in other episodes too, such as "Howard the Comedian." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 00:47:32 -0600 From: "Corey Sawyers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Briscoe's Truck I recall here while back somebody askin if anyone knew about the Darlings' truck. I assume it was a ford, since they had the contract, but does anyone know anything else about it? What year, model, color, details? I was just looking at some pictures of restored patrol cars, and thought I might try to restore a Darlings' truck (or maybe unrestore it...at least the radiator!). HAs anyone else done this? Can anyone help? I'm much oblij'd to ye, Share-ef.

In reading Chip's post about the books making him realize that Mayberry isn't real, I got to thinking about one of my favorite hobbies - imagining what's actually going on when the scene is shot. There are some well known pictures from The Jinx. The 3 guys are sitting in a boat fishing in the shot. But they're actually only about 10 ft off shore with another boat close by, about 15 people standing around, a truck and all sorts of equipment. I like to do the same thing with scary pictures, you know when its dark, the girl hears something and looks right at the camera with that horrified look. I just want to holler "What are you scared of, you're looking right at 27 people!" The picture business is a hoot. dan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 08:37:39 -0500 From: Don Good <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Andy's address? >Hey to all, > Does anyone know what Andy's address was on the show? >Just another Trivial Triviality. > Ten Four..Over and Under, Z-man I b'lieve that there were actually three different addresses given. If that's correct, I'll let someone else tell what they were. Don Good (Yep, that's the plan....) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 09:41:08 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Blue Willow For those of you interested in the Blue Willow dishes, I have some great news. Blue Willow is manufactured by Johnson Bros. and is available on the Internet. Go to BettyCrocker.com and type in Johnson Bros. under "search." All pieces are available, and even sold "open stock" meaning you can buy just one piece. They have a great selection. I collect Johnson Bros. china, and I can vouch for the superior quality. Betty Crocker offers this pattern at a very reasonable price, much less expensive than in a china shop. ~Eileen~ PS All this talk about Aunt Bee's dishes has made me a little hungry. Think I will make some of Betty's Cheese Wafers. MMMmmm! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 10:54:27 -0500 From: "Cathy Schreima" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #26 Re: Blue Willow Dishes Another possible source is eBay or one of the other auction websites. While checking out TAGS stuff this a.m. I typed in Blue Willow Dishes and got 19 hits. When I just typed in Blue Willow I got 1723 hits. Thanks to those who straightened me out on the Roddy McDowell, "No Time for Sargents" question. All the best from Cathy S. a.ka.

I believe Barney is sitting there trying to get the car started asking why didn't Floyd put gas in his car before they left. And Floyd was sitting there telling Barney it's his fault they ran out of gas because it was his idea to take a "shortcut". Also, on a funnier note, Barney also "drives" a model car when he is going to give Otis his driver's test. Charlene D.
