How did I miss that?>>>> Well, the other night, when the last time Ernest T Bass was on there fighting the Englishter, the road was dirt. In tonight's (6pm) Gypsy episode, I once again saw the restaurant that said "Hotel BAR and Restaurant". Now, why was that there if Mayberry was dry? Or WAS it? Was that trolley tracks ever seen in ANY other episodes besides the Green Ink episode where Aunt Bee worked for counterfieters? hey from the ozarks ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2001 17:43:55 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Bradford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Otis' hangover cure Dear TAGS friends: As you recall; Hal Smith(Otis) drank many a "hangover elixir" on the show. The concoction was Orange or Tomato Juice, A raw egg, hot sauce, and other ingredients, but what was truly in the glass? He didnt DRINK that poison did he or did the producers switch the glass to straight juice? Ron Brown Ray: He did indeed drink it. The mixture is classic Bloody Mary mix without the alcohol and plus an egg. Hal said, in the Book Mayberry 101, that he almost choked on the egg! Remember Andy handed it right to him with no cut away shot so he had to drink it - or do a retake and drink it AGAIN!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! :-D Rev.

It's a beaut. Who'da thunk Aunt Bee would have the coolest car in Mayberry?? Dixon =========== "If only someone would commit a crime, just one crime. If only someone would just kill somebody!"

I noticed that too! I would *swear* it wasn't in other episodes. My guess is there was a really big frogstrangler of a storm just before Aunt Bee bought her car, in the "Mayberry" world. The real reason could be because some movie set in the 1890s or something was shooting on that part of the lot and the road was still dirty from it.

That is true, "The Lucy Show" and "Hazel" were both in color as far back as 1963. I had always heard Sheldon Leonard kept the shows in black and white as a cost cutting measure. But the networks became fiercely competitive about color in the mid 1960s so by 1966 just about all shows had switched. In 1965, TAGS, "My Favorite Martian" and "Gilligan's Island" all went from black and white to color on CBS, but "The Munsters" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" both stayed in black and white. And yes, I always heard it was sheer coincidence Don Knotts left the show at this point...

Years later, in an interview, he stated that when the prop man stirred the drink (those are not really Andy's hands we see in the close-up shot), he stirred it gently, and the egg yolk didn't break. When Hal drank it, the yolk almost choked him, but he managed to swallow it. It's possible that the sauce bottles had filled filled with something other than their original contents (maybe colored water), but the egg was real, and the fruit juice was probably real as well. Later, in the episode "Otis the Artist," Warren mixes up a similar hangover cure for Otis. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 21:02:19 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: color or b&w >>>Does anyone know the reason(s) why TAGS began showing episodes in color? Was it just coincidence that the colored episodes did not begin until after Don Knotts left the show? Certainly, "color" was available prior to 1965. As an example, you can see a very young Ron Howard in the movie version of The Music Man which was made in about 1963. >>> You don't understand, TAGS was always filmed with color film. MAYBERRY was black and white until the fall of 1964. What a shock it must have been to all of her citizens to wake up and find that the town had turned to color! They must have felt like Dorothy Gale when she stepped out of that farmhouse. BTW, the movie version of The Music Man came out in 1962. There's a subtle reference to Ronny's character, Winthrop Paroo, in the TAGS episode "Andy and Barney in the Big City." Barney challenges Opie with a tongue twister, and after he attempts it, Opie replies, "You think that'th thumthin', you oughta here me thing a thong!" - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 23:41:58 -0400 From: Greg Painter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS/Love Boat episodes According to tvguide.com, a couple of Love Boat episodes with "major" TAGS characters will air next week on TV Land.

Monday - 6/11 - 9pm EST Help, Murder!/ Issac the Groupie/ Mr. Popularity A woman (Michele Lee) is convinced her husband (David Groh) is trying to kill her; Isaac falls for a sizzling singer (Diahann Carroll); a bore (Jim Nabors) is taken for a notorious jewel thief.

The local newspaper guide had listed the Andy one for thursday also. I so appreciate the reminders for things of interest so we can tape them I for one love the color episodes & usually look to see who wrote them. I'm always delighted to find our Mayberry resident writer Harvey Bullock's name on an episode that I have enjoyed. One recently, & I don't recall the name or number, was one which Barney came back to visit & was nervous about the man from prison who was out to get him. I loved it when Barney told Andy that Warren should get credit for the capture to encourage him, & Warren's obvious hero worship of Ol Barn.
