You a teacher." She says, "They look fine to me Goober." Andy says, "Why don't you ask Floyd, he's a barber." Then Andy says, "There's nothing wrong with your eyes Goober." and Goober says, "How do you know?" and Andy says "Cause I'm the sherrif." Another great Goober line: "I'm better than nothin', Ain't I better than nothin'? Anybody else besides me laughing at these?

Gomer: You reckon they'll ask me that? I love that one!!

I was watching an old episode of "Murder She Wrote." One I had seen several times before. During the scene where several people are hypnotized my eye kept going to this one man sitting at the end of the row of people. I kept thinking I know him, but from where? Then it dawned on me. He was Rance Howard, playing the part of a journalist. Made me think of Mayberry. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 22:51:04 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mayberry R.F.D. <From: Keith Branyon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <Subject: Mayberry R.F.D.> < 2. Goober "played" sheriff while Andy and Helen were on their honeymoon. How was the sheriff part treated in other episodes of Mayberry R.F.D.? Did a new sheriff come to town, or was the role simply not mentioned?> Andy Griffith appeared as Sheriff Taylor several times in the first season of "RFD." He and Helen didn't move from Mayberry until (presumably) sometime between the later part of season 1, and season 2's "Andy's Baby," when Andy and Helen return for Andy Jr.'s christening. In season 2's episode "The Caper," it's established that the Sheriff position was not filled, the town contracts with the State Police on an as-needed basis, and Goober is a part-time deputy on the town payroll. Again presumably, the County of Mayberry also uses the State Police. Goober appeared as Mayberry's Deputy Sheriff in several episodes through the rest of "RFD"'s run.

"Never Hit Your Grandma with a Great Big Stick" gets me every time. Doug Johnson Doug: All of those titles they used on that show weren't fake. Quite corny I admit, however I grew up in the south with southern folk music.(my mother sang) and believe it or not, some of those titles were real. "I wish you could have seen the gal I took to a fancy ball, I had 50 cents to spend and she ate it all" That was a real song and really a hoot. I don't know about the Grandmaw song and I no longer have my mother to ask but who knows. "Get out of the way greasy, you have a long way to slide." Another floor roller. "Old Number 9" was a tear jerker. "Please Mommie Please" still makes me cry to hear it. Are there any other southerners out there who remember some of these?

Thanks for the web site to vote for Andy in honor of Father's Day. I cast my vote and hope all of you other TAGS fans do the same. In case you missed it, here is the address - - http://www.biography.com/features/dad_poll By the way, I am the proud grandmother of a new granddaughter, Bethany Ann Martin, born May 8th. She is my 5th grandchild and what a beauty she is! Oh, and one other thing, my favorite one liner, "I'm declarin' for ya" and my favorite Darling song title, "Dirty Me, Dirty Me, I'm Disgusted With Myself" Jeanne (from West Virginia) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 01:00:25 -0700 From: Mary Giesbrecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: one-liners If she ever kissed you on the mouth, we'd all have to have our appendix taken out. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 06:06:38 -0000 From: "Chico & Carrie Viars" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: never hit your grandma with a great big stick, et al For Doug Johnson... Never hit your grandma with a great big stick is in fact a real song the Dillards played. From what I understand, ALL of the songs mentioned in reference to the Darlings are real songs. And I just bet that this one, or "Tearin up Your Clothes for Rags" or some of the others would truly make a man cry if we heard them. here's a link to a page that deals with this very subject, and appears to be one of our fellow members! http://www.geocities.com/southbeach/3250/darlingsongs.html "Got time to breathe, ya got time for music."

The first night the phony TV people were in Mayberry, they said they were going back to the hotel to call their producer in California to come out to Mayberry. Well, it was already late in the day and the producer showed up early the next morning. I thought it was kind of quick for him to get all the way to North Carolina, especially Mayberry since Mayberry doesn't have an airport. Anyone else notice that? Eric Waff Give 'em 30 they'll take 35 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 09:17:31 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RFD Q&A >>> Goober "played" sheriff while Andy and Helen were on their honeymoon. How was the sheriff part treated in other episodes of Mayberry R.F.D.? Did a new sheriff come to town, or was the role simply not mentioned? >>> There was never any other sheriff on MRFD. In one episode when a newcomer asks where the sheriff is, Sam replies that ever since Andy moved away, they've been "getting by with just a deputy" (Goober). Law enforcement was almost never mentioned on the series, however, Howard Sprague did once pretend to be a bank robber much like Barney had done in "The Bank Job." Goober, taking his job very seriously, arrested Howard and locked him up. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 08:23:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Bradford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: One liners I watched Ernest T. joins the Army last night - local channel shows it at 5:30 between the 5 o'clock and 6 o'clock news. If I call anyone at home I usually hear Andy in the background! Anyway, seems like some of our favorite lines come from that episode! Ernest T. does come up with some doozies! Another favorite I had forgotten, by E. T. Bass; "Can't do enough for our boys in KaaaaaKeeee". Had to laugh out loud on that one! My definition for the "prefect" one liner is that when you retell it no build up is required. Just saying the line is enough - people know who said it, in what episode and why. peace, Rev. Joe ps- There was one line Paul wrote - "We're Home" that I don't recall which episode and who said it. ===== Why do we kill people, who kill people, to show that killing is wrong? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

And now for my trivia question. (no fair going to look at the episode try to do this one from memory if you can) In the Episode "Andy Discovers America" (which is the one where Opie is complaining that the new teacher Miss Crump is giving them too much homework) How many time does Aunt Bee pour milk into the same glass at breakfast. (this would be the milk glass on the left side of the table) Dapper Dan Over and under ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 09:53:51 -0500 From: Dawn Biegelsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Great posting from the Viars I appreciate reading about Tony Viars' e-mail correspondence with TVLand. I still don't think TVLand fully grasps the emphasis on playing fewer episodes in order to show episodes in their entirety. TVLAnd probably also doesn't fully grasp the unmitigated joy that some of the classic TAGS one-liners bring to the loyal TAGS fans (it PAINS me to have the "boy, giraffes are selfish" line cut from "Dogs Dogs Dogs," among other classic one-liners). Even though TVLand does their best "to remove small pieces of the show which will not affect the plotline(s) in any way," they don't realize what the real nuggets of genius are in those shows. Not to beat a dead horse (sorry, Blackie), but the "boy, giraffes are selfish" monologue may have precious little to do with advancing the plot, but it has everything to do with superb comedic writing that we just don't see much of anymore. That's my 2 cents, for what it's worth.

Lindsey, of The Andy Griffith Show and Hee Haw fame, will be the commencement speaker next week at Speake High School where Slingblade and Crazy In Alabama star Lucas Black is graduating. In fact, Black will introduce Lindsey at the 7:30 p.m. ceremony, Thursday, May 24,in the SHS football stadium. Speake is located on Alabama Highway 157 about midway between Muscle Shoals and Cullman in northwest Alabama. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 08:59:51 -0500 From: Becky Pyles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: One liners While watching Andy last night, (The fake Hollywood producers) I noticed that Andy introduced Goober as "Goober Beasley". I just always assumed that his last name was Pile also, like Gomer. And was that Captain Stubing from the Love Boat?? Oh well. I have some more favorite one-liners. Gomer to Otis-(on becoming a deputy)-"Shoot, Otis, you're a fool. This is gonna be fun" Pa, just what can you do with a grown woman? Now, you see Blackie, what a mess you got me into? If it's charity, we want no part of it. We aim to hold on to our position in the community. Boys, they's work to be done--get on your old clothes. It was whining like a crying child. You look good enough to get buried. Grinnin' like a mule eatin' briars. And one my husband and I use often---Mornin' Dear, Mornin' Honey! Good luck to you and yours!!

Hey Folks, Some of you may remember the old "Mayberry.org" web site. In the last few weeks, I've been trying to recreate some of that site here in our little corner of Mayberry. I started with The Taylors' Front Porch and folks seem to be enjoy it. http://www.tagsrwc.com/chitchat/index.html (For those that don't know, the Front Porch is a cross between Sarah's Chatroom and Miss Crump's.) I just finished adding another feature from Frak's old site which he called the "Thought of the Day." I've changed it to the "Mayberry Quote of the Moment" but it's pretty much just like Frank's site was. http://tagsrwc.com/cgi-bin/rand_thought.pl If you like quotes from the show, there are about 100 different random quotes that will pop up there for you. Check it out. -- Allan ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #139 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
