Where misspoovey comes from in West By-God Virginny (that's the true pronoun-cee-ation! :-D) it was a dry county but one could still get a drink at a hotel or if they were a member of a lodge.

Since you added the Sunliner part, it leads me to believe that you were right and I was wrong but I would have bet my rare buffalo nickle that it was a 55 model. I remember the 53 and 54 models looking the same but the 56 models were different - weren't they? Let me know. I don't want to look stupid any more than necessary.

Keep up the good work. This has got to be the most diverse, yet similar group of people assembled anywhere on the web.

And thank god for that. Even with Andy's ability, a talented cast and some wonderful writers, I doubt the show would have lasted as long or had the impact without the character of Barney Fife. Give Andy Griffith credit for realzing that. While the small-town morals are of note, it's the comedy created by Andy, Don and the writers that made "Andy" an all-time classic. It all came together. While I like Don Knotts, he never approached the heights he reached on "Andy" in anything else. It's just too bad he didn't remain on the show for another three seasons. As far as the color episodes, there's a reason they're not shown as often. However, I do have a soft spot in my heart for Howard Sprague.

(AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Pick-ups and Splashes from Floor and Pool Hey TV fans, did you catch a few more "TV watching" scenes tonight on TV Land? Opie watching TV just before Andy turns if off to talk to him about going to the dance...and the Gypsies watching TV in that Gypsy wagon...man they sure musta went through the batteries on the TV and the Short-wave radio.. >*And didn't Andy catch Aunt Bee watching one of them doctor shows in the middle of the day? I hate to disagree with my friend and the best website author this side of Allan, but Groovy Miss Poovey, wasn't that a radio show that Aunt Bee was listening too that Andy teased her about. Phones in the Taylor House...Well you have to understand that we can't even count on a consistent number of bedrooms throught the run of the show...sometimes there was a guest bedroom, sometimes there wasn't. I believe they had a phone in the kitchen, Andy's bedside table, the living room...and wasn't there one once in the upstairs hallway....or maybe I was hittin the mulberry squeezins. My comment about the color episodes is that I think Goober really came into his own, after Don Knotts left, and Floyd was just as funny as ever. the B&Ws and color eps are like two of my kids. I love them both. They are different..but still part of the family and have their own gifts. How about this matchup---Earnest T Bass fights Clarence Earp (Dempsey). They're both the wild and wirey type...bet there would be a cloud of dust during that one??

It's shown in the episode where Barney tries to show Andy that Mayberry still needs him as sheriff instead of taking that big job up in Raliegh.

Not being a trained noticer, I may have missed some others. 4 phones, pretty advanced for a home in the 60's. All we had was one old black heavy phone, that my dad talked on real loud when we had a long distance call come in, like he needed to talk louder so they could hear him.

One was that Hawkeye said to somebody, probably Frank Burns, "Why don't you run up an alley and holler 'Fish'?! Which was, I believe, what Gomer said to Barney on the Citizen's Arrest episode. I thought that was funny to hear, even tho I never figured out what in the world it meant! And today I was watching MASH and saw an elderly nurse on there who was appearing at a military trial in defense of Henry Blake. I looked once and said to my husband "Who is that lady?" As soon as I heard her talk I knew for sure - it was Clara Johnson/Edwards! It was so nice to see her on something else, and I don't think I'd seen her on another show besides TAGS before! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2001 22:58:16 -0400 From: Kyle D Romick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Silent Scenes One of my favorite silent scenes is between Andy & Barney in "Alcohol and Old Lace". Their acting is superb when they pass, back and forth, the quart jar that Opie left there from the Morrison sisters. No dialogue was necessary...we knew from their expressions that they found the smell repulsive.

Didn't Andy have a pick-up truck of his own...like in the episode where Aunt Bee came to live with them and Opie didn't want her there?...Hollie...btw...the Aunt Bee getting her license was hilarious! ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #162 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
