Was really shocked to see that the husband of the woman who left the baby was played by Jack Nicholson. Was this his start in movies or what? he was "on" a whole two minutes or so and only had about two or three lines to speak. Also, another question that's been bugging me for a long time, whatever happened to Andy's wife? Did they ever say in the show? Thanks,and ya'll come back now, y'hear ?

While watching the news about his visit, the first thing that popped into my head was that I hoped that no one ticketed the governor's car for a parking violation. Now that would have been funny!

Marathon, and in the words of Barney.. "This is BIG!". I'm glad they've given such advanced notice, now we can all gear up our VCRs for the big event!

The "Mayberry" chapter of Knoxville, Tennessee will be meeting at the O'Charley's Restaurant in Pigeon Forge at 5:00 pm on Monday before the show. It is located just a block or two from the Country Tonite Theater where the show is on the same side of the street. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, but if you want to join us, just ask Juanita for the "Mayberry chapter" and she'll point you our way. We sure look forward to meeting some other folks from the digest there. More power to ya, Dennis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "Mayberry" chapter Knoxville, Tennessee "Hear that boys?

Frisco Darling to Aunt Bee when offered more food.."Ohh , no thank ya maaam! Ive reached my High Water mark." And I LOVED that episode where Aunt Bee gets "gassed" by drinking too much of the Colonels Elixir. Especially where the Colonel sent smoke signals to Opie with his cigar. What a fantastic TV Show!!!

Hey Folks, I just wanted to let y'all know that I'll be out of touch begining this evening and through most of the next week. There are several Mayberry events going on with the BIG one coming up in Nashville on Thursday - Saturday of next week. I'll be in Brent, AL tomorrow for their "Mule Day" celerbration. Then its up to Pigeon Forge, TN for the Evening with Don Knotts with Betty Lynn, and Howard Morris at Country Tonite Theater on the 25th. Then I'm gonna try and check in on Tuesday night and Wednesday then "I'm heading to Nashville!!" for the June 28-July 1, 2001: Mayberry Reunion Weekend at Opryland!! I hope to see a lot of you there but I wanted to let y'all know why you might not hear from me if you email me or anything while I'm gone. There are still tickets left to these events and if you can make it to the shows in Nashville or Pigeon Forge, I encourage you to do so!! The information is on the "Event Calendar" at the TAGSRWC website. http://mayberry.com/tagsrwc/ Allan "Floyd" Newsome ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 10:19:27 -0400 From: "jarik52" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TAGS as a radio program Thanks to Dixon for that thorough response concerning "The Great Gildersleeve".I do believe that a lot of those old shows were hilarious. That brings me to another point.How good would TAGS have been on the radio?I guess the many silent scenes that have recently been discussed might lose a little (heh heh),but I figure it would have been just about as funny,anyway.Just imagine how intriguing it would be be to try to put a face with Gomer's voice.It would be fascinating to see if the writers could have created the same warmth in the Andy & Barney friendship without benefit of the physical comedy,too.

Barney (whispering): Nate Bracey. Andy: Nate Bracey, Nate Bracey, Nate Bracey. Nate: Nate Bracey! Folks, never forget the caliber of writers TAGS had. dan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 07:38:52 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: thelma lou's last name I've got a theory on thelma lou's last name. Maybe her last name is Lou. Maybe her first name is just plain ole' Thelma. I've known people called by their first and last name. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 11:03:03 -0700 (PDT) From: Nancy Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Aneta Corsaut & Josie Lloyd/Helen Crump & Lydia Crosswaithe Motor City Greetings! I am new to this digest so I am not sure if this question has been asked before. Does anyone know what the actresses Aneta Corsaut (Helen Crump) and Josie Lloyd (Lydia Crosswaithe) did before and after TAGS? Has anyone seen either on other television shows and/or movies?

Do you realize that Opie had Miss Crump for a teach for all the years he went to school except for the first grade? >>> Actually, Miss Crump didn't become Opie's teacher until the middle of his third grade year (the episode was "Andy Discovers America;" she replaced Miss Warner). He had Miss Johnson in first grade ("Alcohol and Old Lace") and Miss Cox in second grade ("The Bookie Barber.") For them that don't know, the title "Andy Discovers America" was more-or-less borrowed from one of Andy's early comedy routines about Christoper Columbus (aka "Crazy Chrissie.") >>> Of course, the Mayberry Town Band was so goooooooooood, that perhaps the high school band was afraid they would not be as good. >>> It's true that we never see the high school band, but we do hear musicians in "The Senior Play." They were presumably high school students, and they sounded VERY professional, much better than any high school band I've ever heard (and they even have a HARPSICHORD!) Those of you who assumed that the dancers were using recorded music are mistaken. How do I know? When the principal yells at them to "STOP IT!" the instruments don't all stop precisely at the same time. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 20:13:02 -0700 (PDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TV Land Marathon Does anyone know what time the first one will be shown Pacific time?
