Andy pulls up to the left side of the gas pumps in his 1967 Squad Car and Goober tries to put gas in through the right rear fender. The only problen is, on that year car the gas filler is on the LEFT rear fender!

I could have stayed at home and watched a George Rath movie. 2. Al liked you best. 3. Just shut up Bernie, just shut up!!!........ 4. Otis crashed our jail cell after hours disturbing our beauty sleep.

"Somebody help me remember where I saw that Andy's middle name was Samuel." I'm not sure but I think Andy Griffiths' son (who I think is now deceased) was named Andrew Samuel Griffith. I'm not sure where this came from but it seems that I heard this somewhere.

I absolutely loved to hear Barney and Andy harmonize on their songs. I thought it extremely funny that Don Knotts received his Emmy one year for the show where he sang off key . I've heard Andy Griffith say how difficult it was for him to sing like that since he was a really good vocalist. Guess that's why they call it acting! <<Judy,Judy,Judy>> (still breaks me up!) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 16:32:00 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: re:survery "so what, in the view of our > members, is the second-best episode that > best captures what our favorite town is all about?" Please forgive me if I seem to be a busy-body rebelrouser, having to voice my opinion on every subject matter in the digest, but business is kinda slow here at the boarding house,giving me alot of time to sit around with my thinking bucket on, and think about all these things-plus, its just so much fun!So if you will just humor a little ol` lady for just a spell, my vote for the 2nd best show of what sums up Mayberry has got to be the episode about "poor Horatio" where Andy is upset over Opie just giving a penny to charity-i laugh everytime i see this one when Andy is trying to explain to Opie about being charitable and giving, and then a tear usually comes too, when Opie explains what he has been saving his money up for-to buy his classmate a winter coat-this to me is the heart and soul of Mayberry-best of luck to you and yers!

Goober says hey! It is always interesting to have a close look at these little inconsistencies that people point out from time to time on the mailing list. One of the things I always do, and suggest others do when mentioning them here on the list, is to come up with some sort of viable explanation to resolve the contradiction. In this case, perhaps Barney wasn't in town, being elsewhere sobbing over the situation. Andy simply states "A call came through saying there was some kind of trouble here" (or something similar)... perhaps Barney left the courthouse telling Otis where he was heading and Otis took the message and in turn notified Barney. Anyway, I'm still working on a viable explanation for Barney's three middle names.

He looked so dejected when he realized that he had been taken, and I thought at first how it didn't look so good for Aunt Bee to be out pushing while Barney road and Thelma Lou drove, but that just goes to show you how everyone in Mayberry was willing to help each other out in times of need. We all could take a lesson from this one couldn't we? This one still cracks me up and makes me LOL when they all assemble in Andy's driveway to get in the car. Aunt Bee and Opie make the mistake of leaning on the car, which of course upsets Barney, being the owner of a "new" car. When Andy asks if he can open the door and Barney says: "Aw, just get in" I crack up. The looks Barney can give are too too much, and when he discovers that Gomer gets carsick....Gomer you trade places with Opie...."I want him near a window! I remember as a child taking Sunday afternoon drives, for no reason..just to be together as a family. TAGS sure takes me back doesn't it some of you? Anita ...I'll drive so I'll sit in the front seat....by the way how are you feeling Gomer....sick as a dog..but having the time of my life...... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 16:35:18 -0500 From: Dawn Biegelsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Spirit of Mayberry, aka the "Second Best" episode Hmmm....could it be the Christmas episode with Ben Weaver?

I am extremely impressed with Dixon, Aunt Bee of Orlando and Tenderjaw. When there is tension and anxiety in this day and age, I thank the good Lord for TAGS.

Andy Griffiths middle name is Samuel. Andy Taylors middle name is Jackson. On the episode "Howard, the Comedian", the TV station call letters were WASG for Andrew Samuel Griffith. Hmmmmm, makes you think. Don "Keeper of the Flame" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 21:30:32 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #202 . So what, in the view of our members, is the second-best episode that best captures what our favorite town is all about? Well, it just has to be Opie the birdman, but my all time favorite and in my opinion the funniest is the episode with Barney and the gypsy fortune telling kit. I die laughing every time. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 22:07:10 -0400 From: "Scott Gamel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Needing Help Hey to everyone, My pastor and I are planning to teach the Mayberry Bible Study in the fall, and it's my task to pull tapes of the episodes together. I've run into a snag. Most of the episodes used in the study aren't on any of the commercially available tapes I've seen, and I only have a couple of them among the 30 or so I have taped. I know there are quite a few of you who have all the episodes taped. If you would be willing to make copies for us to use, please contact me via e-mail, and I will provide a list of the needed episodes. Of course, I will provide the blank tapes and postage both ways. Please let me know if you can help.

(This is the pattern that the Taylors used.) We'd like to offer them for sale to WBMUTBB members. Although the whole set is for sale, we'd be glad to break it up so people could have a few pieces to display with the rest of their Mayberry memorabilia. Can't you just see a cup, saucer, and cake plate set out next to Aunt Bee's recipe book? Or how about a dinner plate hanging on the wall above your copy of Mayberry Memories? Or you could display your trading card set with a soup plate as a backdrop. The gravey pitcher would be a beautiful focus for a dried flower arrangement, and the ideas go on and on. Contact me personally for prices and to see which pieces are still available. Blue Willow Dish Set (Made in USA by Homer Laughlin A 48 N 6) Eight 10" dinner plates Eight 8 1/4" soup plates Seven 6 1/4" cake plates Eight 5 3/4" saucers Eight 3 3/4" cups Six 5" sauce dishes One 8 1/2" serving bowl One 13" meat platter One gravey pitcher Ellen Kuber, Founder "Just Another Place at the Table for Friday Night Supper" Chapter [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 19:17:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Nancy Loadholt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Favorite episode I just love all of TAGS,but I guess a couple of my favorites is "checkpoint chickie" and "divorce mountain style".Really do love the episode with the Darlings. This site and the discussions is the best thing since sliced bread. It's almost as good as a TAGS marathon. Glad whoever mentioned the house on RFD being the same one that's on the Waltons,another favorite show,just not as big with me as TAGS.Had so many of the same values and wholesomeness about it. lotsa luck to you and yours! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
