This first answer is ALLEN MELVIN, he is the guy who played all the different characters on TAGS. Mr. Melvin also played SGT. Hacker on Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. and Sam on The Brady Bunch, ( he was Alice's boyfriend). Mary Grace, "she's nice real nice", was Thelma Lou's cousin. Her last name on TAGS was Gossage. Her real name was MARY GRACE CANFIELD. Ms. Canfield also played Ralph Monroe on Green Acres, she was a "handyman" with her brother Alf Monroe. He also played on TAGS, in one episode. Okay now a question for everyone. Where did Frank Sutton go to high school? He played SGT. Vincent Carter on TAGS and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. This is a hint it was in Nashville, TN. ______________________________________________________________________ The information in this email and in any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.

Can you let me know anymore info > on how you found it. I keep findin' either 2 door > models or convertibles. Mr Schwump, What I found was just a regular two-door '64 Galaxie. What I have located *since* then is a place to order a kit with special parts that does, indeed, become a Mayberry squad car. It is a 4-door '63 Galaxie and it comes complete with decals, light, etc. It's a little pricey, though...about 44 bucks. It's available at... www.modelroundup.com Just look under AMT/Ertl models.

I was wondering which one liners really crack you up, or at least make you smile. The kind of line that requires no other information. You know who said it, what the circumstances were and you can even "see" the characters saying it!

Are they "Free Game" if you will for reproduction, or did another company pick up the rights? Second, speaking of the inconsistencies in shots, remember when old "Blue" is asleep on the sofa in the back room. When Andy and Barney first see him laying there his eyes are open. Then it cuts to a close up and his eyes are closed, then back to the wide shot, the eyes are open. Any one think about the letter writing campaign yet?

He also did one episode of "Mayberry RFD," as Mayberry's new barber in the episode "Hair." That's the one where Emmett buys a bargain basement toupee and goes to the barber to have it repaired/styled. Some of Melvin's other prominent/costar roles: "The Phil Silvers Show" - Corporal Henshaw "All in the Family" / "Archie Bunker's Place" - Barney Hefner "The Brady Bunch" - Sam the butcher "Magilla Gorilla" - voice of Magilla Gorilla "Gomer Pyle USMC" - Sgt. Hacker Brent ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 May 2001 13:30:10 -0400 From: Rob Hardin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [none] In response to Tom wanting to know who the man was selling vegatables and also in on the car scam with Mrs. Lecsh (sp.?) He was also the man Barney wrote a ticket to for sweeping trash in the street, and Andy later got Barney's judo instructor to fight him. He also was an escaped convict once that Andy caught and Barney and Gomer let loose. Andy knew he was a convict because of his boots and quail was out of season. He later played Sam the Butcher on the Brady Bunch.

Thanks again Allan for all your hard work, and I might say, I love the archives section for the new eBullet. It took me awhile to find them, but they are just great. I hope you can keep this section going, as it makes a good place to go and print the eBullet from. I love the idea of printing the eBullet for my personal use after its release by email. The archives allows us to have the eBullet logo at the top of our Bullet for our personal library.

Check this site out for 1:25 scale Mayberry squad car kit. http://www.modelroundup.com/amt20001.html Or check this out for unpainted scale figures of Andy & Barn. http://www.modelroundup.com/lightbar.htm Happy Motoring, David ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 May 2001 20:59:50 -0600 From: "Tom Lawrence" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: it's the joke, folks Why "Andy" characters have altered behaviors and why Aunt Bee can't make pickles or relish for nothin'. (Thank god she wasn't one to try the Chinese recipe out of the paper thanks to the missing page): While the beloved characters on "Andy" occasionally display altered behavior, it's worth noting that it's not their fault. They are the (usually tender) mercy of the writers. The word crafters try to create a story in a severely time-restrictive format, and some may not have been fans of the show when it got in the way of a tale. And they may have missed some episodes, not having the luxury of daily reruns. That's one reason I prefer seasons four and five: Andy and Don have crafted their characters, the writers knew the storyline and the show was, in my view, at its zenith. And sometimes funny is funny. Altering a previous characteristic for a joke is a bargain for all. Lastly, we all sometimes act completely out of character, as Barney the Beast proves.

Joe, was you clip good for the soul! It was the first Digest I have read in months and it asked the question about favorite one-liners, the kind that can stand on their own two feet (or I guess it would be one foot). Heck, I don't even need my thanking bucket for this one! Isn't that what makes Mayberry the Classic it is? It lives off of one liners that have survived the test of time: Who can forget, "Women, they're all nuts!" "If you threw a quail in here, every woman here would point." "He'd kill you." (probably the only funny line Helen ever had) "I'm a little bit mean, but I make up for it by being real healthy." And, Every single line ever said by Mr. Darling ("That's just the way they act when they're pantin' after you.") and Floyd the Barber ("Maude, Al, If those burgers are ruined, I won't be responsible!). But, then, Floyd could read the phone book and slay me. We're going to get soooo many responses to this inquiry, it behooves me not to be long winded here. But I will close on a Classic-classic: "Boy, giraffes are selfish." Laura Lee Hobbs, ("There's a gold truck a coming, and you and me and Gomer and Laura Lee Hobbs are gonna be here to receive it.") And, hey, if I messed up on some of the quotes, how about not making a big deal out of it? OK? OKay. (Just "Nip it. Nip it in the bud. You go to any book on the subject of how to handle a fan who has messed up a quote and you'll find they are all in favor of bud nipping.")
