Pilot On Tue, 20 Feb 2001 16:03:54 -0700 (MST), you wrote: >Hey Gang: I was watching the Andy show yesterday about where Aunt Bee gets a >phone call from Edgar, and wants her to come help Maude because she slept >with the window open Another hillarious line in that one is when Aunt Bee calls Andy and Opie on the day she is to return. Andy takes the phone call, says "Long distance - Must be Aunt Bee, calling from Mt. Pilot" Cut to her, she SHOUTS (long distance, you know) "Hello, this is Aunt Bee, Calling from Mt. Pilot" Andy then turns to Opie and says "It's Aunt Bee, Calling from Mt. Pilot" There's one for the triples list. I too noticed much more detail left in on this edit of the show, including more of the Opie bedroom cleaning. Couldn't tell what was cut to fit it in, either. I always wonder why the boys didn't have Post Toasties, at least one morning. A lot less pans required than when you "whomp up a batch of baconandeggs" Sounds like one word when Ange says it too. Also caught the epilogue only, from the early episode. Barney and Thel on the couch - just an amazing bit of comedy. Barney trying to "ummm, Ummm" signal Ange with his eyes to help Helen in the kitchen with desert, and then trying to sneak him a "little kissy" when he and Thel were alone and Andy kept popping back in just as he was going to make contact. "Coffee?" "Cream and Sugar", "Apple Pie?" 'Want cheese on it?" HAH! The look on Thelma Lou's face was great. I hadn't seen that one in many years.

He was just the opposite onstage and visiting offstage. The Disney officials told us we could only visit him backstage if it was approved by his manager, which they attempted to secure for us when they took the certificate to him. But his manager felt he needed more rest inbetween performances and nixed the visit. We were certainly disappointed but surely understood. On another note, the time when Andy, Barney and Sheldon Leonard were at MGM, Mr. Leonard made a wonderful statement concerning the longevity of TAGS. He said "I don't think you'll see reruns of Roseanne 30 years from now!" Many echoed our sentiments with a hearty AMEN!!!

Mary from Georgia was talking about the episode that was on the other night where Andy and Opie "batched" it while aunt Bee was gone for a couple of days, made a mess of the house, cleaned it up, messed it again so Bee would feel wanted and when they got home they found it had all been cleaned again. Well Mary it wasn't Clara who cleaned it, it was Bertha. They changed her name in later episodes to Clara for some reason, probably so she could "rig" the county fair's pickle contest. Another thing I always find fun about TAGS are the different mannerisms in the acting of andy and barney. For example, I always think its priceless the way andy grabs ahold of his mouth to keep from laughing when barney is way out in left field with something he thinks is serious, like the other night when he was trying to tell andy that Ellie like him and not andy. What are some of the other mannerism's that you have noticed that you found were catchy? "Hello Floyd who's in the chair? Well get rid of them cause I'm coming over and I'm ready for action...."

And from the discussions here at the Digest, so have others. Tonight I watched the episode where Opie has a new friend named Trey Bowden. In the scene where Andy takes Trey on "lake patrol", Andy gets in first and slides over to the driver's side and then Trey gets in. By the way, that is another terrific episode!

Both involved Aunt Bee's instructions to Andy and Opie as she was preparing to leave for Mount Pilot. First, why did she tell Opie to wash his hands AFTER every meal. Before the meals would make more sense. Or did I just hear her wrong? Secondly, she told the boys to eat three vegetables every day, two green and one yellow. What is a yellow vegetable. Squash is the only one I can think of right off. Now the green ones shouldn't be any problem what with all those kerosene cucumbers in the cupboard. Well, I'd better go now, my two year old has her toys scattered all over the floor and I'd better get them picked up before her mother gets home...only lets not do it right now.

You know the time the Womens Historical Society gives Otis a plack for being the desendent of Nathan Tibbs..Of course Ol Barn thinks he is the lucky duck... I thought it was totally neat that Andy trusted Otis to come and get the award and didnt hire a fake Otis. Barney in the end sees how Andy was right in letting Otis himself pick-up his plack.

A friend from the country sent me this. It is pretty funny. Sounds like something Ernest T. himself might pen! Ode to a Luv'd One By Yore Romeo Collards is green, my dog's name is Blue and I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you. Yore hair is like cornsilk a-flapping in the breeze. Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas. You move like the bass, which excite me in May. You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway. Yore as satisfy'n as okry jist a-fry'n in the pan. Yo're as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can. You have some'a yore teeth, for which I am proud; I hold my head high when we're in a crowd. On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms, well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms. Still them fellers at work, they all want to know, what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe. Like a good roll of duct tape yore there fer yore man, to patch up life's troubles and fix what you can. Yore as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead. You ain't mean like those far ants I found in my bed. Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt, you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt . When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack, my life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack. Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin'. despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'. Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank, we go together like a skunk goes with stank. Some men, they buy chocolate for Valentine's Day; They git it at Wal-Mart, it's romantic that way. Some men git roses on that special day from the cooler at Kroger. "That's impressive," I say. Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth. "Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth. But for this man, honey, these jest won't do. Cause yo're too special, you sweet thang you. I got you a gift, without taste nor odor, more useful than diamonds...... IT'S A NEW TROLL'N MOTOR!! Luv, from yore romeo. ************************** (NOTE FROM ALLAN: I don't want to encourage folks to forward things along to the Digest but since I hadn't said that and this one DID have a little bit of a Mayberry feel I let it go through. In general, let's be sure that we keep our messages on the Mayberry topic. I'm mentioning this because there have been a few political and other type posts that I've not let through in the last few days and I just wanted to remind folks that this is a list for Mayberry talk. Just a reminder before there's an issue. Thanks for understanding. -Allan) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 23:44:44 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: More basketball Has anyone mentioned that Bee and Clara played basketball together at Sweet Briar Normal School? Clara was the best dribbler. (This brilliant piece of trivia is right out of my left-brain file pocket so I may have something backards - let me know). Linda - the Goober with two halves of a brain. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 23:55:33 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tom Jacobs trivia Here's another trivia question for all you trained noticers out there. What is the only episode where Tom Jacobs (a.k.a. Johnny Koons the most seen "extra" in all of TAGS along with Mr. Schwamp) is verbally referred to by name? I hope the trivia gurus have to at least put a bucket on their head for this one.

Doctor! For a small town, Mayberry sure seemed to have more than its share of doctors, whether the medical or professional (PHD) type. Who can name the various doctors in and around, or who visited Mayberry? Name the doctor who: * Told Aunt Bee, "We're no Spring chickens anymore!" * Giggled with Miss Ellie in the back room of the drugstore * Tried to computerize Goober's love life * Introduced Barney to his uvula * Gave Opie his first slap * Took a look at Dolly, the milk horse * Didn't recognize Goober's neck/back injury as psychosomatic * Fixed up Andy's hand after his scuffle with the Gordon boys * Shouldn't be called upon to carve the Thanksgiving turkey * Got the whole town in an uproar about putting on a band concert * Was the subject of Opie's Most Unforgettable Character (rewrite) * Got a visit from Otis's mother-in-law after the leg of lamb incident * Outfitted Asa Bascomb with his neck harness Please feel free to give clues to other doctors who appeared in Mayberry, 'cause I'd like to play too! :-) Doug "Rafe Hollister" Garretson "Sarah, how's your Momma's hip?
