Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TVLand I e-mailed TVLand to compliment them on their patriotic ad and I urge you all to do the same. The address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whoever posts their schedules sure makes a lot of mistakes; the Lucy marathon schedule was a mess so you have to be careful in labeling any tapes you make. As far as petitioning them to show uncut TAGS episodes, many of us have tried over the years to no avail; they need to cut them in order to have time for ads; probably lots of big-time sponsors paid big bucks to help sponsor Lucy and were even highlighted in promos for the marathon itself several times in advance many times.

(AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Bradfrod Taylor You have to wonder if ole Bradford Taylor has been dispatched to the Middle East again to help the State Department. I'd forgotten all about that reference used in the color episode featuring the big-talking (but not too truthful) Jack Albertson character until seeing it again recently. Even if he couldn't start that chain of Ice Cream shops, he sure could do us some good over there. Hey wait a minute...do you suppose that freight train goes all the way to the Middle East???. Bradford Taylor, you may recall, got lots of Mayberrians to invest in his Aunt Bee's Homemade Ice Cream venture. This made me wonder. How many different Business ventures did Mayberrians invest in? (a few good, most not so good) 1) That Record of all the local artists...(actually only one that paid off) 2) A treasure map, and supposed attempt to dig it up with special equipment. 3) The Ice Cream Caper mentioned above. 4) Miracle Salve--indirectly I guess 5) Coin Collecting (Buffalo Nickel) does it count if just Barney fell for it?? 6) Goober buying the Gas Station Were there any more bogus Business investments?

(AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: divorce question Something's just occurred to me while watching the episode in which Dud and >Charlene get a temporary divorce - other than that one episode has divorce >ever been mentioned on TAGS? you may get several mentions of this same quote, but in the "Up in Barney's Room" episode, when Mrs. Mendlebright was about to marry that con man, Barney stated that "I hope it ends in a quickie Mexican Divorce"...or words to that effect. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 07:30:00 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #313 <<Is that the one, or one of the ones, which, in the epilogue, the light goes back on and Barney has lip prints all over him?

I will have to check up on that with the Melody Ranch. I have never seen anything mentioned on the site about the location of any of the originals and I figured that someone had to think they were worth hanging onto. I guess they could have been recycled in those days onto other shows as well. On the Taylor home, in the book I saw with a floor plan of TV Family Homes it did have only Andy's, Aunt Bee's, and Opie's Bedroom, but NO guest room! I do think it would be a neat house to duplicate in looks and I really feel that someplace, someone has built one to look like it.

He (my brother) was laughing his head off and I was just sitting there because I don't remember such a scene. Who out there knows what episode he was talking about? I'm stumped. It wasn't Barney who got Otis hooked on mosaics but Warren.

Being raised in the great county of Wilkes, NC, city of North Wilkesboro (sad to see NASCAR leave), I can attest there really is a Myers Lake, actually it is called Lake Myers. It is located just outside of Winston-Salem, NC. It is a tourist area, although not so much related to TAGS. Don't get me wrong, the relationship to TAGS is mentioned a few times. Anyway, it is a huge lake with fishing (the best relaxing sport around), peddle boating, lake-side cabins, camping utilities, etc.. (the works). A great place to get back to family and relax at the same time. If you decide to drop in, I know you will be greeted with the NC charm I grew up with.

The episode that you and your brother are thinking about, as far as the mosaics are concerned Is a Color Episode, and It was WARREN who showed Otis the mosaics. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

In one of the VERY few "Warren" episodes, and one of the even fewer in which Warren is acceptable as Andy's deputy, Warren tries to get Otis into mosaics as a way to "rehabilitate" him.

Otis gets into mosaics and makes an ugly looking cow that he is so proud of, he wants the Taylors to show it off in their living room and he wants to feature it at an art show, and everyone is truly up in arms about it. At the end of the episode Otis makes a really good looking one of a small Spanish town or something and then goes back to drinking. It's the kind of episode that likely wouldn't have been as funny in black and white, and in fact was probably inspired by the fact that the show had just gone in color (because of the colored tiles).

Actually, it's Warren who introduces Otis to mosaics, not Barney. The episode is "Otis the Artist," one of only two color episodes in which Otis appears. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 10:20:06 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Thelma Lou's job >>>What does Thelma Lou do for a living,Idon't think I have heard it mentioned.In one episode she mentions she is going to the office,but what office?... That's the only clue we ever get (the episode is "Man in the Middle.") My guess is that she is a secretary or receptionist, common occupations for single ladies in those days. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 10:13:50 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Epilogue >> The lights go back on and Barney is on one side of the couch and Thelma Lou is on the other side.... >>>Is that the one, or one of the ones, which, in the epilogue, the light goes back on and Barney has lip prints all over him? In the epilogue from "Cyrano Andy," the two couples are back at Ellie's house, when Ellie goes to the kitchen to prepare dessert (pie). In an effort to get some "private time" with Thelma Lou, Barney suggests that maybe Andy should go and help Ellie in the kitchen. Andy does so, but every time Barney is about to give Thelma Lou a kiss, Andy keeps popping back in with questions like "Hey Barney, do you want some coffee?," and "Do you want cheese on your pie?", etc. Finally, Barney has had enough and heads to the kitchen to get his own pie and coffee. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 11:46:29 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Barney's belt Having worked for police and security departments in my college years, you brought up an almost forgotten sound - and yes, I do especially notice it when Ole' Barn is going to get serious and have a one-on-one up-close-and-personal with Andy. If Barney had the typical lawman's belt and leatherworks, he had the Sam Brown belt which had lots of leather accessories to carry all the officers' extra stuff - and they do make an incredible creaking - I personally love the sound - it's the sound of a guy who has everything on his person to get the job done! It is an extra-wide belt, and is used for police service as well as the Army Officers Corps in WWI & WWII. It is wide and strong enough to holster the saber in WWI in addition to the other standard stuff. Sorry - probably more than you were expecting to hear about belts! My best to you and yours!

Ragsdale" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Good Advice I'm not sure how many of you heard this, but I had tuned in Rush Limbaugh's show today (10/19) and heard some good advice from a columnist named John McCaslin who was filling in for Mr. Limbaugh. He advised everyone listening to "go on over to your television and turn off the 24 hour news channel and turn on the Andy Griffith Show." He characterized TAGS as the way to get back to a simpler time when the worries were simpler also. I was half listening, but when I heard the words Any Griffith my attention was snagged. Wonderful advice I think in light of the trails and tribulations we are experiencing now as a nation.

I attended the press briefing at this year's Mayberry Days and was able to ask Miss Lynn why Thelma Lou never had a last name or a specific job. She said somewhere around the fifth season there was a scene where Andy was supposed to introduce her to a couple, and they realized she had no last name on the show. Since she kind of liked the allure and mystery of not having a last name, she wouldn't let the writers put one in. She responded the same way later when the job question came up. So it turns out Thelma Lou was more of a mystery woman than we thought! :) Hope that answers your question! Mayberry says thanks and happy motoring ...

Its really pretty up there, You cant visit that right now, its the main water supply for L.A., they have it closed off for security reasons. I think the opening was shot, on a small lake, Franklin Canyon Drive at Mulholland Drive. Talk at ya'll later.

As far as the mosaic episode, I do remember an episode where mosaics were mentioned, but I thought it was one of the colored ones and I thought it was Warren that suggested it. I could be wrong. And Dixon, that one episode, I don't think that one is one of the ones that Ol' Barn had lipstick all over him, if I remember correctly, it ended.....Thelma Lou and Barney walking arm and arm away from the court house.."Some of us got it and some of us aint"! Lot's of Luck, to you and YOURS, Charlene ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 19:23:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Mark Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [none] I have noticed a promo spot on TV LAND featuring TAGS.It really is very touching to see this spot.The focus on Mayberry & Opie&Andy is very heartwarming in these troubled times.That is what is so special about TAGS ,THE FEELING THAT NO MATTER WHAT HOME FAMILY GOD & COMMUNITY IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Mr. O'Malley in "Convicts-at-Large" episode) on the very first episode of "Bonanza" that aired a week or so ago. He played one of the three rich mean businessmen who were trying to force the Cartwrights into selling their timber. I guess living in that cabin out in the woods for so long made him greedy for more timber! Anybody else notice him on there?
