Hey to Everyone - One thing I like to do when watching TAGS is see if I can find anymore goofs. Well, I did it again. In the Medicine Mam episode (I think that's the tittle) Andy and Barn are playing checkers at the very end of the show and Andy takes an extra turn. Hope he won!

When she is in the car for the first time and Gomer is showing her where everything is, he explains that the clutch is to be used when changing gears......then he proceeds to show her each of the 3 gears on the shift lever, but he never tells her to put in the clutch while he is changing from one to the other gear. Aunt Bee is behind the wheel and Gomer reaches over and moves the gear lever from 1st, to 2nd and then into 3rd gear but no further mention of the clutch is made... Now I realize it is possible that that little snippet was cut out as unnecessary, etc., or it was just an oversight, but I had not noticed it before watching this time and it got my attention... Wouldn't it damage the gears to do that without having the clutch in? Maybe she had it in and we just are to assume it. Could be. Anyway, I enjoyed the episode and was glad to see Andie come around to the idea of her driving after his first rather vocal opposition...I also noticed that Aunt Bee put the key in on the left side of the steering wheel which I know was the way some cars were made for awhile.

If he can't do it due to the appearance of partiality (i.e., if he's running for re-election) then he usually appoints a deputy or someone else. So, why wasn't Goober (or Judd, for that matter) counting the votes with Howard? Maybe if they'd all been down at Howard's office instead of the Taylor's living room, that would have made the only difference...

In response to Keith in Nebraska on the colored episodes, I would agree with two of his favorites Dinner at Eight and Floyd's Barbershop. My other ones would be the one when Howard was trying to join a private club I think was called the Regal Order of the Golden Door to Good Fellowship and the other one where Goober went to Raleigh with Andy and family and discovered that owning his own gas station made him a successful business man.

Airy As a major league umpire for 18 years, I have to admit one of my favorite episdodes is the one where Andy misses a play at home plate. How well, I know that feeling. However, Espn always chooses to show my mistakes, unlike Aunt Bea who chose to let it alone. My family and I will be travelling through Mt. Airy in early August. Do any of you good folks have any suggestions on what to see. Best of luck to you and yours, Larry Young ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 17:41:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Bradford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy and Lucy "I also didn't know that the Taylor's living room was the same as the Ricardo's!" Huh? They look NOTHING alike! Looks like a stretch to me considering the layout is nothing alike and Andy had an upstairs - something definately missing in Lucy and Ricky's APARTMENT! Unless this person was talking about some Lucy and Ricky go to the country episode. Their apartment in NY looked nothing like the Taylor's home. please explain further, Rev.

For the last umpteen years I have been going around to antique shops and flea markets looking for a TAGS Lunchbox. My wife and I had so much fun doing this always hoping that each stop would bring us a box. So what happens. I finally find out there never were TAGS lunchboxes. Talk about disappointment. Kind of like when I found out there wasn't any real Santa Claus. I shared this with a shop keeper yesterday and she thought it was so funny. Oh well, I think I will now start looking for Barnie Fife dolls. Chances are I will never find one, but won't I have fun looking.

"Only a Rose" (Clara really proves herself to be a wonderful friend.) 2. "Opie Steps Up in Class" (A fine lesson about being yourself instead of trying to be something you're not to impress others.) 3. "Look, Paw, I'm Dancing" (Helen doing that '60's dance is a sight to see.) Mary Grace Gossage "If you ask me, this Ernest T. Bass is a strange and weird character." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 21:42:26 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Elections "John O.

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? It was probably Chad Everett.

I have been reading the digest for several months and I guess have been too shy to post. Well, here goes! I am in the beginning stages of writing my thesis on Mayberry and its effect on actual small towns. Before I get to far into my research I wanted to ask the experts how they feel about Mayberry. - -I suppose I am interested in everyone's ideas about Mayberry as a physical place. Does it reflect anyone's memories of life in a small town? - -Is anyone from a small place that has tried to retain or regain its Mayberry-like qualities? - -Does anyone know of any good sources that describe the actual set? I hope these questions aren't too much! I hate be a bother! Oh yes, here's my survey... NAME: Holly Barnett HOME: Murfreesboro, Tennessee HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO MAYBERRY DAYS: No, but I want to go this year for research! FAVORITE QUOTE: This is not exact...Briscoe to Andy "You may have the haircut of a city feller, but your heart was shaped in a bowl." FAVORITE CHARACTER: Andy FAVORITE EPISODE: Opie the Birdman-It always makes me cry! FAVORITE BARNEY NICKNAME: Barn FAVORITE TAGS SONG: Dooley! FAVORITE TAGS THING YOU OWN: Hopefully, in a year it will be my completed thesis! DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS NAMED AFTER TAGS CHARACTERS: I've never had a pet but if I ever do, I like Winkin', Blinkin', or Nod. Thanks for reading!

I know that the color episodes are quite different from the earlier black and white episodes, but they do still show the wonderfulness of Mayberry in my opinion. People still help each other and support each other. Where else would a man eat three spaghetti dinners in one night without screaming? True, Andy did threaten to kill the ol' Goob, but he didn't follow through! I really enjoy all of the episodes, and I was glad to see the RFD episodes recently. I hadn't seen many of them before and it was great to see those. I got part of them on tape, too, and am hoping to get the rest. I also have all of the TAGS episodes on tape, and love watching them over and over and driving my husband crazy!! Y'all have a Mayberry day...

And I absolutely love Dinner at Eight. Another favorite would be when Goober had the prize drawings at the gas station and Floyd thought he won $200. Gosh, choosing favorites is so hard! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 23:50:22 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (jimmy mills) Subject: Mayor Stoner A Jerk Why did they make the second Mayor of Mayberry Mayor Roy Stoner such a Jerk </html Click for Martinsville, Virginia Forecast Jimmy Mills [TABLE NOT SHOWN]Powered by NewJoke.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 23:22:06 -0500 From: "MBowman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: wbmutbb-digest V3 #218 I'm still kinda new here to the digest (6 months or so) but a faithful daily reader. Man, there are some EDUMICATED folks on this listing! With the 4 & 5 year olds, I get to watch "pieces" of TAGS every night or so at most. The kids really think it's great, but the attention span ain't there, yet. As a fan of many classic TV shows, I do a lot of collecting of files from the internet. My wife suggested others might enjoy some of the audio/video files and info I have collected from all over the web, so I've started putting them together in CD format. I can't tell ya how much fun I've had poking around the web gathering all the classic TV stuff I can find... I've offered a couple on ebay & probably collected back enough to pay my internet bill. Last night, I finished organizing the TAGS CD I've been working on for months and put it on ebay for sale. The first dozen or so I made have already been sent out to friends of mine who are TAGS fanatics and have been dying for me to get the CD finished. If you are interested in one, the ebay link is http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=wooster 2&include=0&since=-1&sort=2&rows=25 or you can do a search under seller "wooster2" I also have CD's for Gilligan's Island and Hogan's Heroes if you're interested. Love those shows too! Now, ya wanna hear me sing "Eatin Goober Peas"?
