I mentioned a week or so ago that our church was looking at a new minister
of music who proclaimed to be a strong TAGS fan and was even a member of
TAGSRWC. Allan has advised me that Ron Cook is indeed a member of WBMUTBB.
But the true test of Ron's colors came last Saturday morning when a drop-in
was held at the church to let folks step in and meet Ron and his wife Kathy.
Well, I've got to report that Ron is truly one of us, because he shows up
for this important event in his professional life wearing his TAGS
sweatshirt. (The very next day, the church voted to call Ron as our
minister of music.)
I'll be offline until the 27th so I wanted to remind everyone to get in the
spirit: Just give Ben the bench and wish him a Merry Christmas.

Hope everyone caught the news that "A Beautiful Mind" got nominated for
several Golden Globe Awards, including one for Ron Howard. This could bode
very well for our beloved Opie getting the Oscar a lot of people thought he
was robbed of several years ago for "Apollo 13." Imagine, someone from
Mayberry picking up a Golden Globe and maybe an Oscar!

...Then I guess you would've beat out the Mount Pilot Ford dealer on the
state bid lis, and Andy and Barn would've been driving around in a Chevy
Impala, since that was GM's primary police package back then. Don't that
just beat everything! (BTW, look in the background in some episodes and
you'll see a couple of Impalas and a fairly persistent '59 Chevy Bel-Air.
Apparently someone in Mayberry gave GM some business!)

I am pretty sure Paramount digitally remastered many of the old TAGS episodes
when TV Land got the rights to the show. The fact that Paramount *owns* TV
Land probably helped a little there.

Jury trials were extremely rare in Mayberry, and it's possible Mayberry and
Mount Pilot was part of the same judicial circuit. For instance, in Alabama,
Calhoun, Cleburne, and I think another county or two use the same judges and
DA, one of whom is die-hard Mayberry fanatic Judge Joel Laird.

Allan, that is entirely possible. I live in Mobile and have served on jury
duty with people from outside of Mobile County because of the way the

I would be Aunt Bee definitely. I could fill my days baking pies - and eating
them! - and cleaning and cooking and socializing with Clara and Emma when I
went in town to shop. No real worries, no bills to pay, no rushing to the
offfice.... of course, Aunt Bee never got married, but that's not so horrible
- she had the occaisonal date.
Just tell me where to go to turn into black and white!!

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fellow Mayberrians,
Regarding the tremendous article in Thursday's Washington Post about Ron
Howard's new movie, "A Beautiful Mind". It includes some truly
philosophical insights by Howard on what made TAGS and Mayberry memorable and
lasting.
I think he voiced what many of us feel - TAGS is not a long meandering joke
about hillbillies, it is a look at life through the eyes of a group of people
who are real and vulnerable and very much like us, they are the best of
Capra's "Everyman". And
that is what has made it live forever in our minds. We are just blessed to
be able
to see it on the screen as well.
In case you missed the link:

My best to you and yours!

Christmas "might" just have an "X" in it, but there
ISN'T a copy of THAT video A-N-Y-W-H-E-R-E!
You CAN get Return to Gilligan's Island; Return to
Fantasy Island; Return to Boggy Creek: Return to
Peyton Place; This... that and the other place, but
Return To Mayberry-- which's on TV Sunday-- AND the
movie YOU mentioned are NEITHER ONE available for
purchase... ANYWHERE!
You'll have to tape it YOURSELF-- unless you live
in a big town {Memphis?}[Detroit?] (Saint Louis?)
that has a copy in the LOCAL LIBRARY.
Your question has been posed before. NOT for sale.
Columbia House has EXCELLENT TAGS videos available,
but the've cancelled two tapes I HAD "on back order"
Keep the tapes coming! If we don't BUY them, they
won't be available someday. I bought every single
episode of The Twilight Zone {on 43 tapes}; why does
TAGS only have 17? Why! Ya GOTTA "BUY" 'em dummy!
How's that for being truthful AND rude? If EVERY
CHAPTER had a complete set of TAGS tapes available
for THEIR LIBRARIES-- there'd be 18, 19, 20, 21, 22...
and so on. If you can aford a pack of cigarrettes,
you'd be better off spending money on a DIFFERENT kind
of PACKAGE!
Don't wait for a "complete season" of TAGS to come
out on DVD-- Columbia House owns the Rights. The TAPES
have to total 30--or so-- to warrent DVDs as well. We
just HAVE to support Barney and Andy! Vote for them
BOTH. If you don't like Mayberry-- you MUST be a
Terrorist! So there! I said it. It just ain't AMERICAN
to not have your own TAGS tapes for a rainy/snowy day!

O.K. Gaaaaaaang ! (as I run to wade in the water while yaw all get out)
Local station here in Utah's been playing old B&W Perry Mason.
Last night was "The Case of the Negligent Nymph".
The coroner, a "Dr Murray", was called to the stand.
It was "Jimmy the goat" 's owner from TAGS "The Loaded Goat".
Jimmy wasn't in sight! Poor thing. I guess he went "bloooooey".
Either that or Mayor Stoner paid Jimmy's owner off as a bribe to
keep it secret that all the commotion on the over-pass was for his
brother's fillin' station, and he went to medical school with the money.
That don't seem too "Mayberry-like" though.
B&W Perry Mason last night had oil-man "Mr Brewster" from
"Beverly Hillbillies". I know he ain't TAGS, but that's a sign that
there are maybe more TAGS special guests to come.
I'll keep yaw posted.......

Hello, good friends. In our Wonderful World of Andy,
the Town of Mayberry is located in Mayberry County
while Mount Pilot is located in nearby Pilot County.
{Reference: THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW BOOK, c. 1985,
Ken Beck & Jim Clark, page 2.} It does seem odd, therefore,
that Aunt Bee would be summoned to jury duty in
Mount Pilot. While I know this may be somewhat irrelevant,
it is interesting that in real-life North Carolina, Mount Airy and
Pilot Mountain (aka Mayberry and Mount Pilot) are both
located in Surry County.
Merry Christmas to all! Larry in Colorado

Paul, your little friends are wrong. They have been
affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They think that
nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their
little minds. All minds, Paul, whether they be men's
or children's are little. In this great universe of
ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect,
as compared with the boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the
whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Paul, there is a Mayberry. It exists as
certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and give to your life
its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be
the world if there were no Mayberry! It would be as
dreary as if there were no Pauls. There would be no
child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make
tolerable this existence. We should have no
enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal
light with which childhood fills the world would be
extinguished.
Not believe in Mayberry! You might as well not
believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire
men to look in all the states everywhere for Mayberry,
but even if you did not find a Mayberry town limits
sign, what would that prove? Nobody sees Mayberry,
but that is no sign that there is no Mayberry. The
most real things in the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no
proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable
in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes
the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the
unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the
united strength of all the strongest men that ever
lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry,
love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view
and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is
it all real? Ah, Mayberry, in all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding.
No Mayberry! Thank God it lives, and it lives
forever. A thousand years from now, Paul, nay, ten
times ten thousand years from now, it will continue to
make glad the heart of childhood.
Mr. Schwump
(Can anyone guess what this was paraphrased from.)

Chad Palmer, thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us know that
"Return to Mayberry" is airing on WGN Sunday at 1:00 Eastern time. I
have seen it before, but it has been years ago, long before I joined
TAGSRWC. I have been wanting to tape it and watch it again. And on
Sunday I will have it. Thank you so much! Mary Grace Gossage"You know
