I thought that I would put my two cents worth of opinion about the woman for Andy. I think it shoud be Peggy. She was also a great singer and a fabulous cook and a well educated nurse who had a rich family. She also liked the simple things in life even though she had traveled worldwide. She told Andy that their time at the lake with Barney and Thelma Lou skipping rocks and wading in the lake was one of the most fun times she had ever experienced. In another episode she went fishing with Opie and Andy even though it was obvious that she didn't like worms and also became brothers with Opie. She was a trooper who would try new things because the people she cared about was interested in those things. It sounds like my wife and so I think she would have been an excellent wife for Andy and mother to Opie. I like Helen even though I think Peggy should have been the obvious choice. More power to ya!

When Uncle Ollie and Aunt Nora came, Ollie slept with Ange, the boys with Opie and Nora with Bee and that makes three...." Hey To All! I was thinking there may have been 4 bedrooms upstairs in the Taylor House but maybe somebody can indeed narrow it down to 3. There's Andy's room, there's Aunt Bee's room, there's Opie's room and I think there must be another room used as a guest room. I know everyone doubled up with Nora and Ollie brought the boys for a visit but I don't think Otis stayed in Andy or Opie's room when Aunt Bee was the Warden... Anyone want a Sunday pickle?

Howard Morris was a regular on Sid Caesar's variety show back in the 1950s. That is a pretty cool thing for an actor or comedian to have on his or her resume.

I ran across this article by Dr. James Dobson entitled "Return to Mayberry." I hope you enjoy it. Kevin "John Masters" Turner "Got time for breathin', got time for music" "Return to Mayberry" by Dr. James Dobson When it comes to family-related matters, Ibm known as a traditionalist. In fact, there are some who think I would like to take the American family back to the days of Ozzie and Harriet. But that criticism is preposterous. I donbt want to go back to Ozzie and Harriet. I want to go back to Mayberrybwith Sherriff Andy Taylor and the gang. I loved it when Barney Fife said, b My whole bodybs a weapon!b Obviously, I know that Mayberry never existedbthat Aunt Bee and Opie were figments of the writersb imagination. But there is validity to the theme of that sitcom. I was in high school during the b happy daysb of the 1950s, and I can tell you that it was much easier to grow up in that era. I attended a racially mixed high school, yet there were no gangs there, very little alcohol, and absolutely no drugs. None! Most of us studied hard enough to get by, and we rather liked our parents. As for sex, there was far more talk about it than action. About once a year a girl came up pregnant; but she was packed off somewhere, and I never knew where she went. By almost any measure, kids simply fared better in those days. Nevertheless, that era is gone forever. You canbt back up on a freeway. But considering the enormous pressures on todaybs generation, we could make the world safer and more secure for them. And the way to start is by building stronger and more harmonious families in which they can grow. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2001 18:24:19 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Zimmerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Makin Memory's Hey Ya'll :) Steve Mitchell wrote... >"So what other memories do you guys have of watching >the show." Well I guess I'm whatcha might call makin memory's with my son. Most times I'll be stretched out in one recliner,while he's stretched out in the other,and we're,you guessed it,watching the "ol" AGS. And if there isn't anything on TV we will pop in a TAGS tape. Saturday morning we had a yard sale,so mom got us to put up the yard sale signs. I was having a little tough time (had the arrow facing the wrong way ran out of staples) so I look at my son and say "Forget the sign?" and he said "I would!" Then later on,we went riding our ATV's,and we come upon a steep embankment,I shake my head no,but he says he would try it,but he ends up getting stuck. I pull him out and then he says "I knew we shouldn't have taken the shortcut. The shortcut would only get me in trouble but I wouldn't listen to myself" Thanks for letting me ramble,but these are only a couple of examples of our love for TAGS,and how we just naturally incorporate TAGS in our daily lives. And maybe were makin a few memory's along the way ;) It's something I hope he can pass down to his children and his children's children. It's not anything you can learn in books.

Hey everyone, Just wondering, does anyone know how local stations handel TAGS. Like our local UPN shows 2 TAGS Andy everynight. When they buy the rights to syndication to they get tapes of every single episode? They seem to be able to controll the timing of the playback so it does not seem like they are getting the off a feed or anything. Question # 2 I found a website that said that TVLAND showed Mayberry RFD in the TAGS time slot on Monday nights, is that true?

I've been an AGS fan since I was a little boy watching the originals in the 60's....anyway, one of my favorite shows is the one where the town band was trying to get the mayor to ok their trip to the state band contest.....they had to hoodwink him by bringing in some "ringers" (a professional group passing through town) to get his permission to go....I have taught band myself for 20 years now, and I just about bust a gut every time I see that episode, maybe because I can identify with so many of the gags on that show. Seems that I read somewhere that Andy actually played an instrument (other than guitar). Barney trying to play the cymbals is about as funny as his singing!

We have seven signed up and here's what they will be doing: 1) Having lunch with Clint and Rance Howard. Afterwards, Clint has promised a "special tour." 2) Meet with Kit McNear (son of Howard McNear, AKA Floyd the barber). He plans to show us his fathers memorabilia. 3) Have a picnic at Myers Lake and visit the very spot where the opening scene on TAGS of Andy and Opie walks to the fishin' hole. 4) Go to Melody Ranch, a movie studio that 100s of westerns were filmed. They're opening a new museum that has a genuine "Mayberry" prop. We will be the first to view this, so I'm not telling what it is until we return. 5) Meet other TAGS celebrities for autographs, Ken Berry, Ruta Lee, Margaret Kerry with a few more to be named later. 6) Visit a propmaker that has made (and still has) the props for many movie. Here are just a few. The sword from Conan the Barbarian, Captain Hook's "Hook" from the movie "HOOK," numerous pieces from the Star Trek series and movies, Mel Gibson's tomahawk from The Patriot, etc. 7) Visit the Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theater, check out many of the stars homes, go to the Bat Cave and the list goes on. So, if you didn't get the chance to go with us this time, maybe we'll do it again next year. We have room for 3 more guests due to cancellations, but it's too late to add more now. I'll give a full report upon our return. As I mentioned before, "I'm all keyed up!"

Removing that wonderful front screen door with the homey, friendly squeak was too much! I miss it. I miss hearing it squeak ever so gently as Andy and the family would go out on the front porch at night to rest and listen to the quiet. Oh, my, what a shame to have removed that piece of "home". ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 09:04:50 -0400 From: "Harriet Browder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Gomer's back room at Wally's Has anyone asked the ultimate trivia question? Where did Gomer reside during the episode when Jimmy (not the goat!) wired the cash register to nab the crooks hiding in the trunk of a car? I thought he lived in the back room at Wally's. Remember when Wally agreed to add a second burner? Well, Wally has finally outdone himself with high-rise upgrades to Gomer's living quarters...... Jim Nabor's condo in Beverly Hills is on the market for more than a half million dollars! (And he's got the comic books to swing it!) Wally has turned it into a high-rise with three bedrooms, ocean view, city view, more than 2,000 square feet and a large terrace off the living room - I guess that would be what used to be the mechanic/repair shop. And, dang it, he never invited us to his new digs house-warming party!!!!!

I think that is an excellent idea to toss around and I have enjoyed reading peoples responses so far. Mine would be when I was in seventh grade (I'm only 27) and TAGS was on TBS (I think) in the late morning. I was in a car wreck with me grandmother when a swmi truck pulled out in fron t of us with it's bright lights on and blinded her. Anyway, I missed a week of school with several stiches and a concussion that made my head throb for longer than that. During this whole week I was out of school, the only time I can remember feeling half-way decent was during the time that TAGS was on. This is also the first real memory I have of watching the show and how much I thought I would enjoy this cool show. Not something many other 11 or 12 year old boys were watching but I loved it and have every since... Jacob in Jackson, TN "Nip it!
