Anybody in the mood for some fan-fiction? Let's have Lucille Ball on the show. Not that big of a stretch, considering where it was filmed.(DESILU). Let's have Ricky and Lucy driving to Florida through Mayberry. Should their car break down, or should Ricky be ticketed for speeding? How about a littering fine for Lucy? Wait, I know! I have got it! *OPENING CREDITS* now I am stuck.

What is it? LOL...I saw that scene and leaned over to my date, saying I couldn't think of that song without thinking of that classic TAGS episode. What an unexpected surprise!

I saw many of them including Frances Bavier playing a Mrs. Ferguson. She lived in a trailer by the oceanside. There were also scenes in front of Andy's house and two shot in Beaver's second house. How srrange to see the interiors with different furniture! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 07:07:04 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bill in NJ I can't believe someone in NJ is a fan!!!!!...How cool. People here think I'm a dork and blame it on my heritage!...Hollie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 07:19:05 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Owen Bush >>>Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I saw where actor Owen Bush died recently, and among his many credits was TAGS. Could anyone tell me what role(s) he might have played? Thanks! :-) SMOKEY >>> I wonder if he's related to those other Bushes? Probably not. Anyway, Owen Bush appears in three color episodes as follows: Mr. Jason, who repairs Andy's suitcase in "Off to Hollywood" Mr. Hammond, who prints the tickets in "Goober's Contest" Doyle Perkins, owner of the store where Andy buys Opie a new suit in "Opie's First Love" - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 07:27:13 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Jack Prince >>>Subject: Re: Jack Prince (Rafe/Ben) From the Internet Movie Database. (www.imdb.com) That's all I could find on him.... He had one more appearance on TAGS not mentioned in your list from the imdb, that of the unnamed rummage sale customer in "Andy Forecloses." Maybe he's supposed to be Rafe; maybe he's someone else. One of these days, I'll go through that whole database and suggest some corrections. One that bugs me is that according to them, Don Knotts is the voice of the principal Mr. Bone on "Doug," which is not true. My turn to ask a question: Has anybody ever figured out what that thing is that Jack Prince's character buys from Andy in that episode? Here's how the scene goes: Customer: How much is this? Andy: Oh, about three dollars. Customer: Whad'ya suppose it is? Andy: If I knew that, it'd cost ya five. Customer: Sounds like a bargain. Andy: Yeah, one of these is nice to have. Customer: I always wanted one! - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 12:35:22 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hollywood East As an editor for an airline inflight magazine, I am deluged with travel books that come across my desk. However, this morning, one caught my eye. It is titled "The 50 Best Small Southern Towns: Charming, Livable Places Affording a Gentler Way of Life," by Gerald W. Sweitzer and Kathy M. Fields (Peachtree Publishers). Mount Airy made the top 50, however, the very first paragraph about the town contained an error that I thought you guys would find interesting: "Mount Airy is one of the best-known and friendliest small towns in America. Still filled with the charm and character of Mayberry, Mount Airy is the hometown of actor Andy Griffith and was the shooting location of his long-running television series."

" If I need to shoot at someone ill get a gun and shoot at them ,Ill give Barney some bullets and let him shoot at them " Shannon Huffman Claremont N.C. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2001 23:38:45 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mayberry Gazette - from Kit McNear Hey Folks, I wanted to let all the WBMUTBB Chapter members know about something special. You can see a photo of it by going to: http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/ Below is a note from WBMUTBB member, Mike Creech, who is helping Kit McNear out with this special project. -------- I visited with Kit McNear (son of Howard McNear) at his home back in April and he allowed me to view some of the memorabilia that he has from his fathers career. One of the most amazing items that he showed me was the original "Mayberry Gazette" from the "Convicts At Large" episode. After talking for a while, I mentioned that it was something that every Mayberry fan would enjoy having and that's when we came up with the idea to have it copied and sell them to raise money for Kit's favorite charity, "The Foundation for the Junior Blind." These will be sold for $10 + $3.50 for Priority shipping. All of the $10 will go back to Kit McNear for the charity and the $3.50 is the exact amount of the cost of the postage. I am not making any money on these, I'm only too happy to help out the blind children and to also be able to have this great replica from our favorite television show. We appreciate your help, Mike Creech ------ If you would like to have one of these prints (they are on 17x11 card stock paper) and help out this fine charity, just contact Mike directly by emailing him. His email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not post back to the Digest. Handle this in private off the mailing list. I have one and I'm betting you'll want one as well.
