No, not the standard setter, but a reflection of the standards and
philosophies of some places in most eras since creation. These
communities are not perfect, no more than Mayberry was. They
have their share of cranks, jerks, and busybodies, but the over-all
tenor of the town is such that there is peace, relative safety, and
a sense of community in which we are all pulling together.
>the shows do make us laugh, cry, and yes,.....long for a

Of course Mayberry is a creation of fiction, but if one has been
blessed to be a part of a community which is Mayberry in its
philosophy, then you know it certainly does not only exist in the
mind. However, if one has not been blessed to be a part of such a
place, then I truly can understand why it would seem like a figment
of the imagination.

Can anyone tell me what was the first episode shown after Floyd`s stroke? I
have never really been able to tell a difference in him(to me, he`s the same
loveable Floyd through all the episodes). In fact, it was not until becoming
a member of this digest that I even knew that he had had a stroke-thanks-just
curious!

The 1st series is worth $40 all by itself, so that's not a bad price even
with the two missing cards. Series 2 and 3 were over-produced, and are
worth maybe $5 - $10 at best.

Subject: dance music quiz
>>>1. When the Mayberry Band rehearses for their "concert
under the stars"
I think the first one is by Phillip Souza (sp?) but don't
recall the name.
Greetings, I believe the answer to # 1 is "The Skaters Waltz". I'll let
somebody else try for the others. Steve
>>>
Sorry, both wrong. The Mayberry Band does play a Sousa march when they
"audition" for Mayor Stoner, but that's a different episode (which does not
take place under the stars). The march is the "Stars and Stripes Forever,"
the greatest march ever written, and the official march of The United States
of America. In Mayberry, it's number 12 in the brown book.
Some of the TAGS books identify the piece in number 1 as "The Skaters'
Waltz" but that is incorrect. The correct answer IS a waltz, and a very
famous one at that. Hint: it's named after a waterway (no Goober, it's not
"Ol' Man River.")

Hi Terry Lee,
My Bellevue is just outside of Nashville, in the hills that surround the Big
City. Nashvile has grown enough out towards Bellevue to where Bellevue is
almost
a suburb. We just got a mall a few years ago, so we are not a small town
anymore. But... we still have the old town buildings down a little side road
that crosses the RR tracks, we have our own little local paper, we have our
own
little community picnic and Chamber of Commerce, and several historic homes,
etc...so to me, Bellevue is just about perfect. We don't have the "pedigree"
requirements some of you mentioned as a drawback of small towns. We are just
at
that perfect spot a 20 minute drive into Nashville, a three minute drive into
the country, and Bellevue has kept its small town feel with the benefits that
come from a larger town. I have lived here since 1982 and can't imagine a
nicer
place.

Unfortunately we do not receive TAGS broadcasts in out area anymore. However,
last night we watched an episode we had taped some years ago. I believe it
was "Opie's Hobo Friend" (or something like that) with Buddy Ebson playing the
part of the drifter, David Browne. Two curious observations; 1) at the
beginning of the show, Mr. Browne swipes the bag of sandwiches off the back
seat of the patrol car. He opens the bag, and bites into an unwrapped
sandwich. No waxed paper? Can't picture Aunt Bee letting her boys eat dried
out sandwiches. 2) Maybe the broadcast I taped cut this part, but I never
heard anyone confront Browne about the stolen bag of sandwiches. Did I miss
something?

The discussion of small towns made me remember when my family moved to a
small town outside of Toledo, Ohio. It is a hog farming community. Population
3000. We lived there for eighteen months but were treated as if we were born
there. One of my out standing memories was that a young police officer in his
cruiser would offer to drive me to the Laundromat which was only a few blocks
from our home. It makes me laugh today because I was so taken back by the
offer. His thoughtfulness shocked me but my city mentality was what will the
neighbors think, seeing me being picked up by the police? I believe now that
they just would have thought the cops are taking their neighbor to get her
clothes cleaned. Thanks for jogging some happy thoughts. Barb

Dear Friends,
I have been irked by the character of Helen Crump for years. Whether it is
a
sign of writer bias or not, it seems to me that Helen is oftentimes short and
quite acerbic in dealing with Barney and even Andy. While Aneta Corsaut was the
right person for the role, I just think that the writers never did her justice.
I like the episode in which she is revealed to have a past (maybe there is some
hidden sexuality there after all; Helen reminds me of Lois Lane in the old
"Superman" tv episodes). In addition, she is revealed to be quite hasty in
accusing Andy of being unfaithful, and her acceptance of his explanation is
often
not fully motivated.
Thanks to you and yours.
We defy the mafia.

On the Los Angeles TV station this morning, the Andy Griffith Show had Alan
Hale (Gilligan's Island) as a farmer who came to Mayberry from his farm in
search of a wife. He chose Thelma Lou as his future wife.
While spying, Barney saw Hale give Thelma Lou a small bouquet of flowers.
As Hale left Thelma Lou's front porch, he and Barney got into a short
discussion. As Hale left Barney, he said something to the effect of "See
ya, Little Buddy".
If you will remember back to the Gilligan's Island series, Hale always
called Gilligan his "Little Buddy." And now we know where that saying
originated.
Does anybody know if Hale called everybody his "Little Buddy"?
This show also has Barney saying "Nip it! Nip it in the bud."

<< Always remember that Mayberry/TAGS was a television show, a great show,
but still just a television show >>
It's too bad that, from time to time, there are those who feel the need to
point this out. I don't know about anyone else, but it's kind of like a
needle scratch on a record. It makes me shudder. Remember, we're here for a
little escapism. We know it's a show -- heck I'm a television writer. But I
still like to settle into my mornings by folding open the digest over a cup
of coffee, and get lost in Mayberry for a few minutes. Maybe some of us seem
delusional at times, but that's part of the fun.

<<I have been irked by the character of Helen Crump for years.>>
Friends,
PLEASE remember the only 2 Rules we have here at the WBMUTBB Digest.
#1 - Obey all rules
#2 - Keep your comments positive.
I realize this may be hard for folks but lets try it just the same.
Also, let's see if we can't move the discussion of "Small Towns" to "The
WBMUTBB Chapter Golden Door to Good Fellowship" bulletin board.
http://www.tagsrwc.com/wbmutbb/goldendoor/
That's a more fitting place to discuss things that are not allowed here on the
Digest and still be doing so with only WBMTUBB members. You can talk about not
liking color episodes, Miss Crump or anything else you'd like to talk to others
about there. Then if folks want to read it...it's there to read and it can keep
it off the WBMUTBB Digest. Y'all take advantage of the Golden Door.

I was at my local library this past weekend in their
video section. I noticed a video of the Loretta Young
show from the 1950s. One of the episodes on the tape
was called "Son, This is Your Father." The
description of the episode is "Loretta Young co-stars
with Francis Bavier ("Andy Griffith Show") and Alan
Hale Jr. ("Gilligan's Island") as the mother of a
sixteen-year old hot-rodder whose father reappears
after fifteen years.
In the episode Francis Bavier plays Aunt Marty.
Loretta Young's character lives with her Aunt Marty.
Aunt Marty takes care of her and her son. Francis
Bavier looked and acted exactly like Aunt Bee on TAGS.
I am sure someone in developing TAGS thought Francis
would be the perfect Aunt Bee for TAGS and brought her
into the show based on this previous appearance. It
was very "convincing" to me that this was where she
had been "living" prior to coming to TAGS. Can't you
see Aunt Bee taking care of a niece and grandnephew
before coming to take care of Andy and Opie?
