Like Mayfield on Leave it to Beaver and Hilldale (or something like that) on the Donna Reed Show. Another was the Douglas' first home on My Three Sons--Bryant Park. I'm happy to report now that we know that Bryant Park is in North Carolina! I've seen two My Three Sons' episodes recently showing the Taylor's house. First, Steve was driving down the street, and in the second, Ernie was skateboarding in front of Andy's house. In both scenes, it was evident that the street was not paved, and other street scenes from My Three Sons used paved street scenes, so a little inconsistency there...also a church scene in one episode that looked like Mayberry's All Souls Church, but I couldn't swear on it. Nice to see TAGS pop up in unexpected places...just wonder how Opie would have gotten along with Chip and Ernie as neighbors? Maybe Uncle Charlie and Aunt Bee would have had a blossoming romance? Steve might have been perfect for Nurse Peggy after it didn't work out between her and Andy...imagine the possibilities! Keith in Nebraska Andy: I suppose you heard the one about the fella that put the cleaning fluid right in with the gravy...that way if he got a spot on his tie, it cleaned itself! Mr. Goss: That's mighty dangerous mixin' them chemicals. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 13:50:01 -0600 From: "The Hendersons" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: cuts and left-ins Wow, what a way to spend a week-end home sick in bed...watching TAGS-A-THON!!! I noticed lots of spots that were cut out, too, but appreciated, and loved the way things were re-inserted like they had originally been filmed/written. For instance, the "giraffe's are selfish" was cut out, but at the first of that (?) episode we got to hear about how Aunt Bee did all the cooking for the prisoners and that the cost for all the food, etc. came out of Andy's own pocket. Never, ever have I or hubby heard THAT piece of dialog. There were MANY other things we heard for the first time and enjoyed every bit of it, because we already had the parts that were cut out memorized any way!! What a wonderful A-thon, getting to hear those "LOST-MISSING-EDITED-DIALOGUES" once again. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 15:05:44 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Laugh tracks I'm enough of a rebel to be incensed by laugh tracks. I don't need nobody nohow nudging me to laugh when I don't wanna. I know when something's funny for heaven's sake - I wasn't born yesterday. Are there any more rebels out there ?

I would like to personally say "Hey!" Also, a special "Hey" to the folks from West Tennessee. Glad to have you folks join us. Jacob in Jackson, TN "Nip it! Nip it in the bud!" P.S. Wasn't the marathon awesome!!! I was able to tape 22 episodes bringing my total # on tape to 115. Can't wait until I have them all!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 16:34:34 -0500 From: Lisa Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: pets I think I posted this before when we talked about pets, but we got a kitten and my husband named him Rambler. Then when he started trying to walk and run on our hardwood floors, he fell and walked crooked a lot. So I insisted on making his middle name Otis, after TAGS Otis, of course. Now, that's all we call him - except for when he does mean things, and I won't tell what I call him then! Makes me wish I'd named our other cats after TAGS characters! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 20:12:35 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Opie in overalls Hello everyone! My happy thoughts have been with all of you who were lucky enough to have TV Land and watch the marathon. Also, I'd like to say how nice it is that one of the chapters is offering the loan of their tapes to those who couldn't watch. I am one of those unlucky ones and since I don't know how to copy tapes, I'm still out of luck. Oh well, some folks got it and some ain't. Anyway, I noticed something in the episode that was on our local station tonight and just had to mention it to y'all. It was the one where Malcolm Merriweather is in town and Andy has him come in to help around the 'ouse so Aunt Bee can take a well-deserved rest. In one scene, she and Andy are looking for Opie cause it's time for him to get ready for a birthday party. And Aunt Bee says something like "I bet he's still running around in his overalls." My question is, did Opie EVER run around in overalls? If he did, I missed it! Anyone know about this?

I get requests almost everyday from folks trying to find out how to contact their local chapter and if we can get this database populated with POCs I think it'll be a big service to visitors to the site.

Has there ever been talk about some type of national trivia competition? Maybe local chapters could set up their own contests, then we could have state finals and eventually a national championship! Wouldnt that be a blast! Any ideas? Hope everyone enjoyed FANDIMONIUM. Steve, "read it again, you know the part about the breakfast."

I took my truck to the shop to have a slow-leaking tire fixed and much to my amazement, the fella at the counter told me there was no charge for fixin flats or rotatin tires. I had to do a double-take and bite my tongue to keep from blurting out, "Why thankya Gom!" He said it was the store manager's policy at this particular Firestone shop. I wonder if his name was Wally. You don't get too much free service these days so this felt good, extra good. I shoulda asked him if he charges for oil changes by the "ding".

It was the one in which Barney was being sued for breach of promise, though Andy didn't press charges. I think it's called extortion, no? I think there was another 'crime' Andy let pass - the 'man in a hurry' stole Wally's truck. Can anybody think of other pardon's? A couple of thoughts in passing - has anyone ever noticed Andy or Barney using the bottom two drawers in the filing cabinet? They always seem to get everything from the top draw. I wonder what's in the other two, it can't be crime files. And has anyone noticed how everyone takes their coffee black? I think aunt Bee asked Malcolm for one sugar once. This seems to hold true on all shows. I'm having a bad time here - my t.v's been broken for 2 weeks, I'm so homesick for Mayberry. But our group here has eased some of the misery.

I guess I saw them the first time they originally aired, but that was many moons ago. I don't have cable, so sad to say I was unable to watch. My brother did call me from out of town, and let me listen to some of them over the phone, but of course that isn't as good as watching. ...she's nice....real nice......
