This is in response to Aunt Bee's trivia question about someone being called a firebug. I believe (and I could have this wrong) that in episode #130 "Family Visit" that Uncle Ollie calls the poor old man a firebug when he comes in to pay his parking ticket. I can't recall the man's name but Uncle Ollie proceeds to chew him out over the fact that someone might have needed that hydrant in the case of a fire. This episode was on my local station just this week and it is absolutely one of the funniest ones of all. My favorites are usually with Barney in them, but this one doesn't have Barney and it still has me rolling every time. I have often thought that Ollie and Nora looked kinda old to have such young sons, but what do I know? Maybe they got a late start. Ollie should have been a regular on the show in my opinion, or was he in any other episodes? Maybe someone knows this answer. Now, go out there and act like somebody! jenny in bama ------------------------------ Date: 23 Mar 2001 00:55:19 America/Fort_Wayne From: SANDRA SILS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [none] What was Otis's wife's name? Someone ask me and for the life of me I can't think of it. I remember her in different episodes. But just can't get it. Here I was thinking I was smarter than a tree full of owls! Thanks Jimbo "Dr.Pendyke" Seay Wasn't it "Lerlene" Seems to me like I remember Otis saying that. Of course he also called her "the little woman".

According to the data base, and it's a gooood data base, Otis' wife's name is Rita. I don't know where I got Lerlene from!

I've been ogling those Mayberry uniforms for quite a while, and I know I would like to know if there are in specs surrounding them? I can't help but notice Barney's badge always off center, and at times, when Badges are missing, your are like as not going to kind the reinforced eyelets where the badge pins to the shirt. I figure that if the holes are missing, ten wardrobe just found any old khaki shirt to fit the bill. Regardless, My main interest is in one of those dark jackets that Anje and Barn wear from time to time. does anyone know just what kind of coat these were (I thought Carheart originally); in fact, does anyone even know what color they were? I wouldn't wear the uniform, but I sure would like to get one of these jackets! Best regards: Bruce and Mary Nail ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 22:07:46 -0600 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mrs. Campbell >>>Subject: Otis's Wife What was Otis's wife's name? Someone ask me and for the life of me I can't think of it. I remember her in different episodes. >>> Rita Campbell, played by Dorothy Neumann, appears in three episodes: "Ellie for Council," "A Plaque for Mayberry," and "Deputy Otis." - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 22:13:46 -0600 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: automotive trivia Hey folks, Tonight while watching "Lawman Barney" on TVLand, I noticed something very unusual about the vehicles seen in this episode. Anybody know what it was? For those who don't know the titles, this is the episode where Barney tries to get two men to stop illegally selling their vegetables from the back of their truck while parked on the side of the road. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 06:26:12 -0500 From: "GRITTON, JOE A. (AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Scandalous Herbie Faye With the exception of Allan Melvin, isn't Herbie Faye the guest actor who appears in the most different....but similar roles on the Griffith Show? Don't know Herbie? Think carnivals and Salve. Herbie was the Manager of that Carnival show that was shut down in Mayberry. That suggestive dancing lady, with the lovable one man band played by Jerry Van Dyke. "We couldn't agree on terms. I wanted $30.00 and he didn't want to pay me anything", He was at the carnival again when Andy discovered the shooting gallery had guns with the sites all bent. "I'm gonna put you guys on the bunko list for every county in the state??"). And of course Herbie was one of the proprietors of the Miracle Salve company. "They want to buy our Salve and sell it to veterinarians. They say it cures the Mange" (How do you do that with you're voice?) It seems I may be missing some other appearances on other episodes. Anyone know of others? Was he ever in jail? Didn't he stop by the counterfeiting shop/print shop that Aunt Bee worked at? To see Herbie's face check out the this site, the second row. http://www.what-a-character.com/cgi-bin/main.cgi?indexby=tvguest&limit=20&ti tle=The%20Andy%20Griffith%20Show&letter=A&orderby=lastname Welcome sweet springtime Joe Gritton, The untrained voice ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 06:23:35 -0600 From: Georgia Griffin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Farmers behind Dexter Street Hi Y'all! I love last night's episode about those guys selling produce from their truck ... especially the prices they were sellin' those veggies.... okra 13 cents/lb. and cucumbers a penny apiece! but, one thing i noticed last night that I'd never noticed before was the SIZE of the squash they were selling!!! They were BIG..... I mean, "BIG" ain't the word for it!!! One customer had bought one and was walkin' off with it and he was totin' it up under his arm, almost!!! I cracked up!!! At first I thought it was a cucumber and I thought, WOW! Aunt Bee would FUN makin' pickles outta those ("no doubt about it... THAT's a pickle!")... but, then, i realized it was a squash. Any of y'all ever seen squash THAT big? And, they had a whole basket FULL of 'em, too!!! We don't grow 'em THAT big here in Mississippi, I tell ya!!! btw...I just HATE it when TVLand cuts lines out of the show, don't you? "Stalkin'! That's my number one priority. Not fly killin'" GA ("Huckleberry Smash") of MS ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 10:09:10 -0600 From: "The Hendersons" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: spotted Floyd on George Burns/Gracie Allen show Boy, you should have seen our "Floyd the barber" on an old rerun of the George Burns Gracie Allen show this early morning!! He was their plumber; In a few scenes, he was dressed in a tuxedo, and my, he looked handsome! Funny thing, though; I ALWAYS thought that the silly vocal inflections, and the "body movements and body language" was due to his "character's" personality, etc. that the actor did to portray "Floyd" and his "ways". He acted the same way, talked the same way(you know how he would trail off the end of a sentence) and was basically the same as FLoyd in THIS show. Those must be his manerisms in real life.((sort of like robert duval in "The Apostle"; I thought he acted and talked that way on purpose to be that character; later found out he talks and acts that way, anyway.) Hey, from the still-bare-treed hills of the ozarks. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 10:47:04 -0500 From: "April Starnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: trivia answer In response to the trivia question about the "firebug", it was uncle Ollie that called the man who came in to pay a fine Barney gave him for parking his car in front of the fire hydrant. (uncle Ollie: Supposin' the fire department needed to use that hydrant? Folks think they can get away with anything around here!) I don't remember the man's name but he asked Andy if uncle Ollie was a nut, then uncle Ollie drove off in the squad car with the sirene on. ( the episode was when Aunt Bee's sister and family came to visit and they drove them crazy) Aunt Bee: Well Ollie, I heard you slept very well last night. Ollie: Not a WINK, NOT a wink! loves Andy in Blountville,Tn. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 17:19:33 -0800 (PST) From: Linda Ruch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Ernest T.
