It is a delightful (and wise) book of quotes taken from different shows . It was written by John and Len Oszustowicz and is published by The Summit Publishing Group, Arlington, [EMAIL PROTECTED] or www.summitbooks.com A sample, "Sometimes we hurt our friends most when we try to be funny". (Townsfolk made fun of Barney when he arrested them for minor violations. They didn't understand his sincerity).

Bass and found 3 - 1 in Florida and 2 in Pennsylvania. Anyone else done a name search to see if there are other actual people with the same names somewhere out there?

Blind from birth, Joe loves radio the way sighted folks love TV. He did tell me one day that he loves to "listen" to our favorite show. He said it was easy to follow the action just by what the people were saying. That says alot for the writers, doesn't it? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2001 10:40:58 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Response Charlie Brakefield, you are one clever rascal!

That's where Barney highjacks the car pulling their trailer, driving it right up to the courthouse door. >> The funniest thing about this scene to me was when he was crouched in front the car. When he thinks the girl is going to drive away, he braces himself against the grill - puts his arms out to the side like he thinks he can keep the car from moving. That cracks me up.

Can't remember the name of the episode, but in the first year, there is a photo of her on Opie's desk in his bedroom. Aunt Bee mentions how much Opie looks like his "dear beloved mother before she died". >>> Have you been hittin' the mulberry squeezin's? This never happened. In no episode does Aunt Bee ever mention Opie's mother, nor do we ever see a photo of her. The photo on Opie's desk is more likely a picture of a young Beatrice Taylor. Perhaps you're remembering a scene involving Bobby and a photo of his departed mother on The Brady Bunch, or something from some other series. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2001 19:26:51 -0400 From: Jewell Kutzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Barney's Finest Moment & Finest Voice Re V 3- 175 - Barney's Finest Moment (1) Ya know, I thought that was really interesting also! It took a lot of courage and initative, for Barney to have taken that step. In the version I saw, not much was made of it and I don't remember Andy congratulating Barney for his actions. - But, I have noticed that sometimes the stations not only don't show the epilogue, but actually cut scenes from the episode in order to meet their time frames. (2) I have another observation of my own. Much is made of Barney's less that melodic voice in many episodes = Who could forget Episode #52, "Barney and the Choir"? He was so bad he had to be silent and let someone else sing for him. HOWEVER, there were three or four episodes when Barney sang with Andy and others and sounded FINE. Especially I remember Epidsode #115, "Hot Rod Otis" when Andy and Barney make Otis think he has died and gone on. Barney sings and harmonizes BEAUTIFULLY with Andy on the civil war song, "The Vacant Chair." Was any explanation made as to how Barney could be so bad one time and so good another? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2001 20:13:23 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Miss Peggy What ever happened to Miss Peggy. Does anyone know if she is still alive and if so what is she doing now. I loved her singing on the porch with Andy.. so sweet/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 22:36:22 -0700 From: Gary Coates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Ronnie Howard on Dennis the Menace(old TV series) I have several "Dennis The Menace" episodes on tape, and remember seeing Ronnie Howard as one of the neighborhood children that was friends with Dennis. I would guess that he was 4 or 5 years old at that time. Guess that he moved to Mayberry later on. Gary M.

I didn't watch the movie because I don't usually start one if I can't see the beginning, but it definently was Helen and I believe it was showing on TCM or AMC. I was shocked at the fact my husband (which is not a trained noticer) noticed her before I did. I think he is finally starting to become "one of us". Lots of luck to you and yours!

From what I remember, she was actually embarrassed about the film and made sure she was out of the country when it premiered. As to her work post-TAGS, I do remember her with a recurring role in one of those hospital shows. She played a nurse. dan ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #176 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
