Back from the country ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 11:18:49 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: More Color I must say that I think Aunt Bee is the star of the color episodes! I just love how she kind of "breaks out" in these....learing to drive, flying a plane, wearing a wig, going to Mexico. These are some of my favorite episodes, although overall I prefer the b&w.

I was at a folk festival in Denver, waiting for my man, Ellis Paul, to come on. There was some group playing, and they said they were going to play a song from TAGS. Then they started talking about the Darlings and trying to remember the name of the daughter. I cupped my mouth and shouted "CHARLENE!!" at the top of my lungs, much to my own surprise, as I never like to draw attention to myself. Well, the group much appreciated it, although they remarked that it was "scary" that I knew that. :-) They then went on to play "Dooley", and I hid under my blanket for a while. :-) SMOKEY Bloomington, IN ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 08:49:56 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Bradford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Butter and egg man sighting With all the talk about TV land I called my cable operator to find out if we were going to get it - it was promised along with many others several months back - lo and behold the lady said, "Reprogram your TV and it'll pick up the new channels". After figuring out HOW to do that there was TV Land! So now I can get in on all those marathons you folks have been talking about! I better buy some more blank tapes huh? On the butter and egg man sighting - I was eating lunch yesterday and turned on the tube to see what was playing on TV land and is was Gunsmoke. They had a trial and one of the jurers, easily upset type, was Aunt Bee's Butter and Egg man with a beard!! (probably trying to hide from jealous husbands?) I did not watch the credits so I can't tell you the gents name but he played a fine upset juror! peace, Rev. Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Color debate...seems like it always pops up when TVLand is running the color episodes. There have been a few comments that I whole heartedly agree with...namely that even if you don't like the color episodes as well as the B&Ws, they're still better than 99.44% of the other options on TV these days (that percentage goes down a little in the fall when Nebraska football games are on!). I have really enjoyed the development of some of the characters in the color episodes such as Goober and Howard. I love Don Knotts and wish he would have stayed for the whole run, but if he hadn't have left, the depth of these other characters might have never been achieved. I also enjoy their continued development on Mayberry R.F.D., although I must say I never quite adjusted to Ken Berry taking over Andy's role as the town voice of reason/straight man. Floyd is another one who turned in some brilliant performances during the color seasons...in fact, I think of Floyd's two distinct runs in TAGS (pre-stroke and post-stroke), I enjoy his later performances the best...voice inflections and facial expressions are priceless. For those of you that enjoy the color episodes, what are your ONE, TWO or THREE favorites, (excluding appearances by Don Knotts)? Mine would be: 1. Dinner at Eight ("I'm goin' over to Helen's and eat my third supper and then I'm comin back here and I'm gonna kill you.") 2. Howard's Bachelor Pad ("Go man go!") 3. Floyd's Barbershop ("I'll come down $7.50 if you'll go up $7.50") Keith in Nebraska Goober: Ope, tell 'em why we're gonna use the declining balance accounting system. Opie: We like the sound of it! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 12:52:58 -0400 From: Chad Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Columbia House Tapes 11-20 There is a way you should be able to easily get the correct set of tapes. Do what the person on the phone said- E-Mail Customer Service! They're much more competent than most of the Columbia House Phone Support Personnel, and know how things really work. Really there are different ways of going about it. I bought a set of Columbia House Videos off eBay that was missing a few Volumes, so I e-mailed them to find out how to get the missing ones. They replied that you just had to e-mail them a list of the ones that you DIDN'T want, and they would note in their computer system to withhold shipment of those volumes. So in this case you'd start a new subscription for "The Andy Griffith Show" series, and ask that they not ship Volumes 1-10. Or if you like, you could order Volumes 11-20 or 11- however many they've got done so far all at once. If you ask, they'll tell you how to do this. If I remember correctly, you pay like $19.99 per tape, but they reduce the shipping to a flat rate of $15.00 when you order a whole set like that. Good Luck!

Dalke, GRI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Elections Earlier this week, I saw the episode where Sam ran against Emmett for Town Council. What I don't understand is what Howard was doing at the party waiting for the results: Where I come from, the County Clerk is in charge of counting the votes. Maybe he felt he should excuse himself since he had taken sides in the election. Any speculation as to who did the counting? John O.

" It was still hands down better than anything else going on in television in it's time." Oh, absolutely,! I couldnt agree with you more! While I admit I like the b&w episodes better, I dont dislike the color episodes-after all, its still Mayberry-my hometown! Mrs. Mendlebright "Little ol` ladies oughten never to clink-unless they`re headed to the clank"!-or is it the other way around?!-@ any rate, never trust a litle old lady shoping with a long over-coat on, when she is the only one wearing a coat! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 14:27:22 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: re:digest 217-is it true? "I am probably the olast one in fan club to notice the Taylors living room is the same one that Ricky and Lucy Ricardo lived in."--Is this true?!-if so, then take heart!-you are not the last one to know this-Mrs Mendlebright is! I am a big fan of lucy and ricky too, but have never noticed this. Have a Mayberry day!

It looks like it has some portraits around the boarder and some type of a line graph in the center. Does anyone know what this poster is? It shows up in many of the episodes, but I think the best picture of it is in the episode entitled "Lawman Barney" (sorry, but I'm not sure of the episode number). If anyone has any info on this poster, i.e. what it is or if there is a reproduction of it anywhere, I'd love to know. Thanks!

My computer has been down for many weeks; it is more trouble trying to get on this thing than it is worth, so I am way behind in my Digest reading. But I did read an article where a beautiful member (sorry, but the time lapse between reading the post and writing this has caused me to forget the writer's name--please remind me) wrote that he/she wondered if my Mystery Lady (aka "Nice Dress Nellie") could be married to our own Tom Jacobs aka Johnny Coons. What a wonderful observation! I used to wonder if perhaps "Nice Dress Nellie" wasn't Mrs. Jean Howard, until I saw Mrs. Howard on A&E when Ron was being featured. I have always entertained the notion that this attractive lady was married to someone connected to the show. When I was young, I used to note her appearances and see if they correlated with any particular director or writer (even Howard Morris), but I could never come up with anything. But the Tom Jacobs connection is a very interesting one indeed. And I never thought of it. Meantime, I still have a nearly impossible computer to deal with; and, yes, we have called The Man. Trouble is his price caused me to have a sinking spell not even several Mr. Cooky Bars could lift me out of, so what's a girl to do? Think of a favorite quote and grin and bear it. Here's mine: Ernest T. talking about his former love Hogget (it's a French name, you know): "She went and married the taxidermist what sewed up her head." (Of course, this was after Ernest T. hit Hogget with a rock, so it was his own fault!)

We didn't go to Mt. Airy this trip, but we did spend time with relatives in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville/Pittman Center, TN, and my daughters went to Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC for a week of vocal camp. My girls got to: see the river where their Grandpa was baptized, meet most of the living Tennessee cousins, and see the graves of some ancestors. I have long held the opinion that Mayberry is an attitude and a set a values. These can be found wherever Mayberrians happen to reside: whether it be Mt. Airy, NC or Modesto, CA. But I have to say folks, there's a whole lot more of it in the Smoky Mountains than in the Golden State of California! This fast pace of life, and the anonymity of having such great numbers of people living so close together, cause people to feel free to behave in ways that people in smaller towns would rarely do. And, the common morality of living in places where Biblical values are taught and mutually encouraged has it's effect, too. We noticed that people take time to extend the common courtesies which we see on TAGS. A gentleman nodded and tipped his hat to me, and I had to do a double-take. Sad, but I'm not used to that. My daughters' two greatest impressions were: "It's so green here!" And, "People wave to us, and they don't even know us". My children and I went to buy peaches at a local ranch this morning. On our way out, as I paused to speak briefly to an old friend, a woman came up behind me and blared her horn at me (although she had room to pass) simply because I didn't move fast enough for her. I commented to my children that, if a city woman is going to come out to the country, she would do well to at least try to act like country with civil country manners! Well, wouldn't you know, as we pulled into the next produce stand, there she was, picking out cukes and tomatoes. All that rudeness and fuss to get to a fruit stand just a little faster! "LORD God, may I not forget, in my rush to get away from the people who are rushing about, to be kind and gracious to those who are not kind and gracious to me." "WHAT'S your hurry?" Sorry, I did go on too long, but where else will people understand what I'm talking about? I appreciate this forum and you all.
