There we'd be at the All Souls Church with the Rev. Tucker officiating the lovely ceremony. He could talk up a storm, but I'd rather he leave the subject of sin alone. Somehow weddings and sin don't seem to go together even though you can never talk enough about sin. The Dillards would provide the music with Charlene singing that most beautiful, "There is a Time for Us to Wonder." And there wouldn't be a dry eye in the church. As the loving couple left the church, Ernest T. would throw a few rocks to wish them well. (They would be little pebbles 'cause he wouldn't want to split their heads causing them to require the service of a taxidermist the way he did to his beloved Hogget--"Pretty name," "Yeah, yeah, it's French, you know." Who else but Aunt Bee and Miss Clara and all the other wonderful church ladies would furnish the decorations/food for a fabulous reception? Again, the Dillards would play their joyful music and we would all have a ball. People spend so much money and they do have a beautiful wedding. But I ask you, "Don't you think the Mayberry wedding I just described would also be wonderful?" Laura Lee Hobbs, dime store clerk & gold truck watcher, and a person of taste when it comes to weddings Lydia: "I hate weddings. I don't mind seeing people married and I don't mind seeing people with spouses. But I hate weddings." (In case you're wondering, this is not a TAGS' quote) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Aug 2001 14:13:36 -0500 From: "DEBORAH DUBOSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Likable Male Character Other than the main characters, I suppose a really likable character for me would be Howard. Oh, come on now, he really is ok. He's dependable. He's good to his mother, and let's face it, most of us would have killed that woman--if not at the very least hurt her a little bit. And he's smart. Granted you're not likely to have many wild times with Howard, but if you're looking to settle down with a man who won't cheat on you, who will bring home a steady income (that story about his gambling problem was all a lie from that mess of a mother of his), who will be steadfast and won't leave you when the going gets rough, well then Howard's your man. Girls, you could do a lot worse than Howard (and by the looks of those TV talk shows, you do). So forget that knight on the white horse nonsense and get yourself a nice Howard type. You'll learn to love him. I promise! Laura Lee Hobbs, In addition to knowing about gold trucks, I know all about mens "Tall, dark, and a door prize." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2001 21:19:58 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #229 One of my favorite scenes from "Those Gossipin' Men" is always deleted when that episode is shown now. I always laughed when the undertaker comes into the office and seeing Barney he says, "Why Barney, you're alive." And Barney says he plans to stay that way. Then the undertaker says he better move his hearse because he has it backed up to their door. I miss that scene so much. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2001 21:42:13 -0400 From: "Anthony Sizemore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #229 Pickles I think it must have been Otis that liked them kerosene cucumbers.

What country male duo recorded the song "I Wish that Life Was Like the Andy Griffith Show". Was it the Belamy Brothers? I'd like to get a copy of it one of these days as I sure can sympathize with the sentiment.

I saw an old clip of "Sugarfoot" once where Frances Bavier appeared to be playing Annie Oakley, and even had a gun pulled on someone! Guess that'll teach the butcher to cut the fat off her roast next time...

Before tonite's TVLand presentation of "Alcohol and Old Lace", they set up the program with a little background, it went a little something like this..... " In this show (I forget his real name), plays the part of Rube Sloan, and then becomes a regular on the show as Singer/Moonshiner Rafe Hollister...." Problem: The actor that play's Rafe Hollister was playing under the name of BEN SEWELL....NOT Rube Sloan. They even showed a picture of "Rube Sloan". It ain't ol' Rafe neither. TVLand.....if you're going to act smart, Please get the facts straight. - -Jr Nope __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When you pack the jars with the cukes and dill, etc., you may cut the cukes lengthwise or crosswise, or, if your cukes are small enough, you may leave them whole. One more tip-these are SO good to eat with cheese and saltine crackers. I think that this recipe would rival even Clara Edward's recipe when she went "wild with allspice"! The pickle episode is one of my favorites that I watch over and over. I also love the one when Barney and Andy save the Scobys from eviction from their house by Ben Weaver. I use this episode in my classroom to help teach caring and friendship-and so much more. TAGS had wonderful writers and actors who were able to teach us much. In my opinion, it is the most wonderful series that has ever been on television. It should be required watching for the world! Maybe we would have fewer conflicts and violence! Thank you for this great site! Haven't been a member long, but I sure am enjoying it. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2001 09:07:12 -0500 From: "Barry Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: other shows can anybody think of all the other shows all our favorite people from tags have done like barney in threes company goober in hee haw andy had a feew salvage and he was some kind of dean at a school.i know theres more. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 04 Aug 2001 09:29:29 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: double double >>>I'm not sure of the name (help me out here Paul,) but there's another episode that uses a stand-in for Floyd. As Andy and Opie walk past the shop, "Floyd" turns toward the window and you can see it's not Howard McNear >>> After Howard McNear's stroke, a double for Floyd was used in several episodes, since he was no longer able to stand without assistance. His last episode before the stroke was #74 Convicts at Large, at which point he left the series (he was more or less replaced by Gomer Pyle) and did not return until episode #119, Andy Saves Gomer. The double was used in long-distance shots, such as when someone from the sidewalk waved to him through the window, or in scenes where Floyd was required to drive a car. Actually, it is very likely that every major cast member had a double (or stand-in). This is a standard show-biz practice. Examine the photo on page 86 of "The Definitive Andy Griffith Show Reference" and you can see a man on the left that appears to be Don's double. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2001 10:33:11 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Comments and queries I'm with you Barb! I'm principally a homemaker and work outside the home only part-time cuz I don't want my life to become so hectic I lose that Mayberry feeling. There is certainly more to life than position and money and I applaud your message to us. Much obliged. As for bald men on TAGS, I only remember Otis' cellmate in Mt. Pilot, whose mother was a nurse. He was on Ozzie and Harriet as their neighbor Doc and later was the storekeeper in Hooterville (I think). Seemed like a swell guy!!

It also tells about the "other Floyd",that he just couldn't get his lines right and wasn't "meshing" with the cast so he was only on the one episode.Aren't we glad,so we didn't miss out on enjoying Howard,the "Real Floyd"! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
