Hiddy all! I just had to send this on. These two items were among others noted in a classic TV digest. They sure have the favorite child star right! Favorite Child Star Was... "THE best kid actor had to have been Ronnie Howard (Ron Howard)" - --charles6213 http://forums.about.com/ab-classictv/messages?lgnF=y&msg=1876.12 An Interview with Buddy Ebsen Buddy Ebsen is probably best remembered by television fans as Jed Clampett or Barnaby Jones. Recently I interviewed Mr. Ebsen and found out about his recent activities, which may surprise you. Enjoy reading our conversation! From Celebrity News Guide Adelle Vancil Tilton. http://celebritynews.about.com/library/weekly/aa031201a.htm And regarding the question about any SEC players with Mayberry names, I am sure I could think of a few, but there were mentions of TAGS during the tournament. One kid with Alabama LOVES TAGS and that he doesn't like to miss his daily dose and they mentioned it several times during the year, as well as the tournament. They also called Blake Eddings with the Arkansas Razorbacks (GO HOGS!) Opie because of his red hair. I really enjoyed these comments by the commentators and would have missed them if I had watched the games with the sound off so I could listen to the Arkansas commentators on the radio. Good thing I didn't! Everyone have a Mayberry Day! Now go out and ACT like somebody! Stephanie 'It's me! It's me! It's Ernest T!' _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 18:34:19 -0800 From: "Kevin and Dawn Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Barney's goggles Hey everybody. I was watching the Barney's motorcycle episode today and noticed that his goggles didn't have lens in them. He said they were to keep objects out of his eyes. Did they do that because of the glare it would have made on the camera? On another note, it was kind of funny watching Andy making a fool of himself, going out and stopping the major in his tank, instead of Barney doing something foolish. By the way, I think the motorcycle was a good idea to have around. You can use the sidecart for going back and forth to the store. Enough rambling on, talk with yall later, Horatio "Aunt Bee, we don't want to kill him, maybe hurt him a little, but not kill him" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 19:33:35 -0600 From: "The Hendersons" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Opie's mouth full fo gum Hey, from Branson. Early this morning we got to see the west coast feed of nick at nite and caught the episode about Bert selling stuff on the empty lot, etc. Since we are learning to be trained noticers, we caught "one" and are wondering if any body else caught it. It is where Opie comes in with gum in his mouth. He stands there adding piece after piece of gum, and as Andy is talking to him and asking him where he got the money to buy the gum, etc., Opie's mouth becomes soooooo full that he can not speak clearly. In a split second, Andy asks Opie a question and Opie's mouth has such a LITTLE amount of gum in it that his answer is clearly understood. Opie's mouth goes from full and stuffed to almost empty and Opie begins filling it again. At the end of the scene, his mouth was so full that I could not tell what his last statement to his daddy was, either! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 20:11:05 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: butter & egg men In a message dated 03/19/2001 5:50:17 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > ?

Great run-down on those episodes there, but the egg man who was running a still in his cellar was Mr. Frisbee, not Rigsby. Mr. Rigsby was none other than Parnell, Parnell, Parnell. That's Parnell Rigsby...I believe Andy liked him but he didn't care too much for Mr. Frisbee. Just my thoughts!

Does Thelma Lou have a job? Hey Dave, I don't know if it was discussed here previously or not...probably so, but what I know about Thelma Lou's job is that she worked in an office in town. We learn this in the episode where Helen gets mad at Andy for calling her a "third party" ("What's wrong with third party?, it's not dirty!) Anyway, Thel tells Barney she dropped everything at the office to come right over in the scene where Barn gets Thel and Helen to come to the courthouse so he can patch things up between them. Hope this helps!

A fence with two sad little trees sticking up behind it.>> Yeah, well Barney must've wrecked more than just the jail window in trying to help Otis make his job interview on time. In the "Mr. McBeevee" episode aired tonight, the fence and two sad little trees had been replaced by a solid brick wall - which is noticed in the scene where Andy and Barney are locked out of the courthouse and Andy goes around back to try and wake Otis by tapping on the jail window overlooking his cell. I reckon the Mayberry mason who repaired the damage to the jail must've had enough bricks and mortar leftover to build a wall! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 19:14:30 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #88 << Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2001 14:17:47 -0600 From: "David Kempem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Thelma Lou You may have already discussed this in the past but I would like to know the answer. Does Thelma Lou have a job? >> Dave, I don't respond much because I'm just a novice next to you people! But I know I remember someone mentioning Thelma Lou having to get back "to the office". I guess I assumed she was a secretary.

If his name is Stevens, the truck should say Stevens' Department Store, not Steven's Department Store. >>> Maybe the store was named after a man named Steven Stevens! If this is the case, either spelling would be correct. Ben feared that Jim Stevens may have been opening a new store in Mayberry. Perhaps Jim Stevens is the son or brother of Steven Stevens. >>>Incidentally, does anyone know what kind of shirt that was? And what color was the tie? Brown or Black? We're never told the brand name of the Mayberry Sheriff Department's uniforms (Barney says his is made of genuine whiplash cord, whatever that is) but the tie is definitely black. There's a very famous photo of Barney with his eyes wide open; in this picture he is wearing a brown tie, but that's because it was originally a black and white photo and someone colorized it incorrectly (as if colorizing were ever "correct" - but that's another story). Whoever colorized this particular picture also made his eyes brown, instead of blue. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 21:53:32 -0800 (PST) From: Rafe Hollister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: For Laura Lee Hobbs, and anyone else who is wondering... The phrase "cool as the center seed of a cucumber" was spoken by Andy to Barney after Barney brought in Rafe Hollister (without firin' a shot!) in the episode "Sheriff Barney". The complete quote is, "There you stand, as cool as the center seed of a cucumber, and you just brought in the most wanted man in the county." Hope this helps. I'll see ya.

I was born and raised in Eden NC about 25 miles north of Greensboro, and they have shown TAGS as long as I can remember, thats the channel I watched it on everyday after school, thank you for sending in that article, and basketball is the only thing I can think of that they would pre-emt Andy for, lol. One thing that did tickle my funny bone was the San Digeo writer saying that Greensboro was like a larger Mayberry, we considered Greensboro the "Big City" where all kinds of evil doings went on, lol.

Hey to all my fellow Mayberrians, Just read Laura Lee Hobbs post this morning where she mentions a paragraph about a moment to dance in the sun, and I must admit that it kind of choked me up to read it. I just have a question for Laura Lee: Is this a quote from some poem or reference in some novel. I have never heard it before, or did it come from the top of your head. If so, Laura Lee, you should be a writer. I am going to copy the quote and keep it for a reference from time to time........

I wrote in an earlier digest that TV Land had skipped an episode for no apparent reason. Well, they did it again...I'm trying to get all episodes on tape and frequently check the lineup for the next couple of weeks so I know whats coming on and can set my VCR accordingly. As I was just checking it out I noticed that "Class Reunion" was left out of the programming. They also left out the episode titled "Jailbreak" a couple of weeks ago. Maybe we all need to contact them and tell them we don't appreciate episodes being skipped for know reason. Of course, I don't want to start a moulage (if that's how you spell it). Finally, I would like to tell Tom I appreciate his explination of Giley's fan "appearing" to turn the wrong way but I still think it was just spinning backwards (??). 'Til next time...
