When Andy met Thelma Lou at the cemetary she was placing flowers on one of her relative's graves. I believe it was mentioned that Thelma Lou and her husband's marriage did not work out and they were divorced. Regarding the Return to Mayberry episode, I always wondered why they didn't use Aunt Bee's real voice when Andy was remembering. It seemed so out of place not to use an actual voice clip of one of the TAGS episodes. Anyone have an explantion? How about it Paul, if anyone should know it has got to be you.

I thought the truck was Gomer's for some reason. It just looks like a Gomer sort of truck. "Andy the boys said they was just mulberry squeezin's. (Drink...cough) Yep, that's all they are...mulberry squeezin's." (another favorite and very funny line by B. Fife). ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2001 23:19:27 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Thelma Lou a widow? <<hey this is wayne in eden.to answer the question about barney and thelma lou being married,at the beginning of the return to mayberry movie,thelma lou is kneeling by a tombstone.obviously her husband has died,so she is a widow.by the end of the movie,her and barney are man and wife.bye for now,and lots of luck to you and yours. >> Hey back from Goob - I thought Thelma Lou and her husband D-I-V-O-R-C-E-D.

The grave Thelma Lou kneeled at was Uncle Ephram's grave. She talked about how he was the first to have a convertible. Thelma Lou, unfortunately was divorced. In an early scene in the movie Barney talkes about how short a time the marriage lasted. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2001 23:33:33 -0400 From: "Maureen Kowalski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Fun Girl limericks Hello Doll says Daphne to Andy one day, Me and Skippy want you two to play From Mt.

Actually I think she was paying respects to another relative; Barney kept tabs on Thelma Lou over the years and said her marriage to the construction guy only last 18 months or so. But the two did get married--finally--at the end of "Return to Mayberry."

They tasted like gas with kerosene and mash why didnt she try CLARAS Recipe?. There once was a man named Fife.. Whose judo chop cut like a knife If there was ever a riot he would "go ahead and try it" cause he learned all he knew in Mt Pilot. There once was a man named Srague When asked out on a date..he was vague.. Caused he lived with his mom, all his life long, And avoided the "babes" like the plague.

My memory of the episode (when Aunt Bea is feeling unwanted and is leaving Andy's) includes an unknown man, wearing a hat, sitting in the driver's seat as Andy prepares to help Aunt Bea get into the truck. You could only see the back of his head through the back window of the truck and only for a second or two. It didn't appear to be Andy's truck at all (to me, that is). ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2001 14:23:53 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TAGS on DVD I emailed Columbia House a few weeks ago to see if it had plans to release TAGS on DVD. The response I received simply said TAGS was not available on DVD, which I already know. They did not answer my question as to if and when it would be available. Maybe someone else has heard some more specifics and can pass that along.

I'll bet Andy didn't think twice about leaving little Opie home alone. He already knew how to catch a fish and play baseball; and don't forget his 45-minute eggs!

I'd like to put my two cents in on this.... misspoovey was a little child about the same time the Opie character was. We lived out in the country for a while and we also lived in a medium sized town. I can easily remember waking up and my mom had run next door to the neighbor's or down to the market for a few things. As a five year old, I can remember riding my bike by myself to the park so I could play in the public wading pool or down to the candy store to spend my nickel. Both of these places were at least 6 blocks away. I can remember going home for lunch and my soup and sandwich sitting at my place on the kitchen table. Mom might have had a doctor appointment or a club meeting. Now I think I had real good, sensible parents; they had had me and my sister very late in their lives, so they weren't a couple of dumb kids just starting out. I just think it was a different world, a time when a kid could be left alone in the house for a short period of time now and then. Back then, the whole neighborhood were your parents. If an adult told you to stop doing something, you STOPPED! After getting caught in some extremely bad yet clever mischief, I can recall getting a little spanking from my friend's dad, then getting one from my own dad when I got home! (if you're wondering what I did, e-mail me personally...it's a pretty good story!:-D) So in a town like Mayberry, I can't imagine that leaving a sleeping child alone for 15 minutes was considered bad parenting. In fact, leaving the child to sleep benefits him more than dragging him out of bed so you can run a errand with Jr. in tow. So my point is, we are talking about the early 60's. We knew and trusted our neighbors and felt safe in our homes. Of course, today this would not happen in real life OR a sitcom. My step daughter is 9 and I wouldn't DARE leave her sleeping to run down to the store. It just ain't the same ! ~the groovy "those were the good ole days" misspoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2001 19:35:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Nancy Loadholt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: HEAVEN Just can't begin to say how much I am enjoying this newsletter.I'm a RABID tags fan and finding out about this has been like heaven on earth..........as Malcolm would say "aren't cha kind?!"

McBV - Mayberry Chapter ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2001 22:14:20 -0500 From: "The Hendersons" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Will Rodney Dillard have another show? So glad we got to see Rodney Dillard's show last year here in Branson. He did not bring his show back this year. Even though I have asked this question a few months ago, does any body know if Rodney is going to have another Mayberry-type show in Branson any time soon? thanks. ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #183 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
