I was watching the show last night >and it was were the town choose Seth Taylor and to honor him by building a >statue of him... I've been out of town, just catching up on my digesting. Every time I see this episode I laugh out loud at the statue's unveiling. I know this has the potential of violating rule #2 but isn't that statue comical looking? The scale of it is off and the uplifted arm doesn't have an elbow, looks kind of like a bent pipe or something. Who do you think really sculpted that thing? Newton Monroe?

I don't know about Andy, but Ron Howard is a major movie mogul and is definitely that busy. When they were filming "Return to Mayberry" he stayed on the phone a lot, dealing with the post-production of "Cocoon."

"Adams of Eagle Lake" only lasted two episodes on ABC in 1975...it was about a small town sheriff I believe, but this one was an hour long drama. I think Abby Dalton was in it, too. I would be surprised if this one was available on video...as for the others, I don't know, but I think "Salvage One" might be easy to find on the trading circuit, since it has something of a cult following...

Due to numerous personal obligations, my wife and I will not be able to attend Mayberry Days this year. For the first time in about 5 years we're going to miss out on all the fun and Mayberry fellowship. I have some tickets I would like to get rid of if anyone is interested. Anyone wanting/needing tickets for Mayberry Days 2001, I have a deal. I have 2 tickets to each of the following events. Friday, Sept. 28 at 7:00 PM-The Doug Dillard Band Concert (FRONT ROW-RIGHT) ($40), Friday, Sept. 28 at 9:30 PM-VW Boys Salute to Mayberry! ($10), Saturday, Sept. 29 at 5:00 PM-TAGSRWC Dinner and Annual Meeting ($40), and Saturday, Sept. 29 at 7:00 PM-Colonel Tim's Talent Time (FRONT ROW-LEFT) ($40). I believe all shows are SOLD OUT and I'd like to get rid of all my tickets. The total value of all is $130 but I will knock $10 off if one person would buy the lot. In addition, I have reservations at the Comfort Inn in Mt. Airy (its been a long time since I made my reservations, but I believe its a "king" room) and I haven't cancelled yet. If someone needs a room (I'm sure all the motels in Mt. Airy are probably booked by now) we could see about making arrangements to have my reservation cancelled and replaced by the purchaser of my tickets. Anyone interested email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will let them go, first come, first served.

In Episode #9, the first time that Floyd, the barber, is introduced, the character is portrayed by an actor named Walter Baldwin. Walter's physical make-up and low-key manner was similar to that of Russell Hiatt, the City Barber Shop's REAL barber that cut Andy Griffith's hair in his late teens and when he came home from college to see his family in his REAL hometown of Mount Airy, N.C. It is generally accepted that the City Barber Shop in Mount Airy and it's importance as a center of local interaction was the inspiration for "Floyd's City Barber Shop" in "Mayberry." However, television being what is is, it was decided, after that first episode, that a more eccentric character was needed, and so Howard McNear's comedic talents took over the part. The use of Howard McNear after his stroke was Andy's idea - he felt that Howard's intelligence and talent was still there despite his physical problems. In looking at the episodes using Howard after the stroke, I would have to say, that if we weren't aware of the situation, we would not have noticed that he was always sitting, and used only one arm. We owe a debt of gratitude to Andy for his compassion, and to the producers of the show for their understanding that love and caring can result in good for all. It was a Mayberry kind of thing! I invite you all to come to "Mayberry Days" in Mount Airy to be held this year from September 27th to 30th. I will be there to sign my new book that gives more indepth information on how Andy's and my hometown influenced the show.

I was watching the episode where the man is recording the music of the townspeople for a record album (quarter of a million dollars if it sold a million records!). In one scene, he is recording a band in his hotel room. The man playing the banjo looked like a Dillard. Am I right or am I just "full of beans"? PhoneHimAl "It always pays to look your best!" P.S. Speaking of Fred Goss (sp?), I think he is one of the funniest minor characters on the show. He is positively a scream.

The last show I saw here at was last October in Birmingham. You can check out photos of her (and other other cast members) at the Mayberry Giants: "Hit one for the ol' Gober" Chapter website. http://www.angelfire.com/tv/hoftog/bham01.htm She is a super nice lady and it's always been a pleasure to see her. Her name is spelled Sue Ane Langdon....Ann with an "e" instead of the last "n".

Real Big!! For those of you who live in the southeast and can get Chattanooga local telivision, the local CBS station; Channel 12 started airing The Andy Griffith Show yesterday. ( I meant to post this earlier-sorry!!) They are running all of the shows in order. Yesterday at 5:00 was the first episode and at 7:00pm the second. They will run the odd numbers at 5:00 and the even at 7:00. Soo if you can get this it will be a great time to tape them all. I don't know about epilogs but usually local stations don't run them. - --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

She was in a commercial for a medication for osteoarthritis, she was in a swimming pool with a lot of other ladies taking an exercise class. I know it was her even after all this time, because of her smile. I believe she was the nurse that tried to give Rafe Hollister his shot when he didn't want it. I believe her stage name was Julie ???? Somebody help me out if you will. .....oh flibbertigibbet......... Anita __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Andy probably enjoys somewhat of a retirement, and Ron is always working on movies. I love the way that Ron Howard went on the Simpsons in a bathrobe as well as when he & Andy appeared on SNL years ago, and poked fun at their characters. It showed they were real people, and are probably tired of answering questions about Mayberry, Matlock, and Happy Days, and being expected to live their lives like Andy, Opie, Ben & Ritchie C. I love Don Knotts character in "Pleasantville". Shows the versatility of his acting abilities. I remember watching a SNL several years ago where William Shatner was at a Star Trek convention, and told the "Trekkies" to "get a life, people, it was only a television show!" I bust a gut when I see that one, and it helps pull mahself up by the seat of my own britches, and realize that these folks are actors, have real lives, and owe me nothing as a fan, including guest appearances, autographs, or even saying hello on the street. They please me by allowing me to watch their past performances. I respect their privacy. Let them live in peace. ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #233 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
