I can answer #1. According to Aunt Bee, she moved in with Andy and Opie,
in '59. And in the first episode, Barney was a fresh Deputy. And when Barn
got
his wristwatch engraved with "5", the calendar on the courthouse wall, said
May 16. So if my memory serves me correctly, the date and year is May
16,1959.
it's me,it's me,it's TerryLee

Subject: fishin for a clue
I was sittin around home yesterday, cleanin up ole eagle eye annie and
gettin ready to head up to the lake. Everything was set to go, when I
realized I'd forgot the most important thing...... ... my
gollywobbler!!! For a man who lives by his wits,thats not very smart.
Well, I couldn't find it anywhere. I asked Ope and Barn, and the last
they seen, it was hangin on a cell door at the courthouse. Could anybody
help me remember the fella's name who used to make those? Some one told
me to ask Bud Ebsen, but when I called him up, he couldn't recollect. I
asked Mayor Stoner ( cause he's the last one I was fishin with ), and
all he could say was, " you beat everything, you know that??!!"
I'd appreciate any idees on this. While I'm thinkin bout it, I guess
i'll just enjoy one of these Ritz crackers. They're a "gooood
cracker.........., good cracker"!

Subject: Opie and the Bully
To: WBMUTBB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I wanted to say that I truly enjoyed last night's
episode about Opie and the Bully. I thought the
writers did a wonderful job of showing parents that
you have to let your child, sometimes, handle things
themselves while at the same time show how as a parent
you can have a tremendous influence on your child just
by what you say to them. I remember another episode
(I don't remember the name). This one is where the
rich boy comes to town and runs Fletch off the road.
He acts like a spoiled rich kid waiting for his dad to
bail him out. I remember in that episode, Opie broke
a window with his baseball. Andy remained calm and
cool while making the point clear that Opie was to pay
for his mistake (he was not to receive his allowance
until the window was paid for). What I like best
about that scene is that the rich boy asks Andy why is
he being so hard on the little fellow. He asks Andy
why doesn't he just bail the little fellow out. Andy
says that he has to let Opie stand on his own two feet
now or he will not be able to when he gets older.
That is such as great, but hard lesson for parents.
As a parent of a 5 year old boy, I find it very hard
to let him stand on his own two feet. However, I am
often reminded by my son that "I can do it myself";
usually he can.
Have a great Mayberry Day!

TAGS fans,
It has been asked if Columbia House would eventually start releasing
TAGS on DVD. So far, most of Columbia's DVD collections have been of shows
they just started offering. However, they do offer DVDs of some shows
they've carried for a while and their selection of which shows to do it for
are based on one factor: popularity. Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy and Star Trek
are three of their most popular collections (with some of the most rabid
fans) so they have released them on DVD. The DVDs are identical to the
tapes, with no bonus material. I read once that MASH was their most
popular collection (this was probably five years ago), so I would imagine
MASH will be out on DVD soon, if it isn't already. So, I guess the way to
get them to release TAGS on DVD is to prove that we are rabid enough. :-)
The fact that they have released a second series of tapes is a good sign as
they usually release only 5 or 10 to begin with, then wait to see how those
go over before marketing some more.
Sam

Subject: Billy Bob on "Conan"/ Accents
From: Jason Harrod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Anybody see Billy Bob Thornton on Conan O'Brien? He said Don Knotts was his
fave actor, and said once he was having Dinner with Knotts and Andy Griffith
and had to pinch himself cause he kept thinking he was having dinner with
Andy and Barney. Andy was in one of his movies that got shelved by Miramax.
Bad accents bug me, too. For some reason, Southern accents seem to get
especially massacred in the movies. People think if they talk like Foghorn
Leghorn and drop their "r's" then that is authentic -- Like Julia Roberts in
"Steel Magnolias." They paid a dialect coach thousands of dollars to
"teach" her how to talk Southern and the girl is from Georgia, for crying
out loud.
Hope everyone is well today,
Jason

Just wanted to announce the adoption of our new baby, Caleb Johanan Turner.
He was born on December 31, 2001, and weighed 9 lb. 2 oz. and was 20 3/4
inches long. He has already been watching TAGS with his daddy. I'm gonna
raise him right so that he can grow up to act like somebody.

Subject: RE: pizza being American-food?
Hey, y'all. I was born and raised in a southern town in Arkansas. We NEVER,
EVER thought that PIZZA was an AMERICAN food; it was the food of foreigners!
Neither did we think soccer was an american game; it, too, was a game of
foreigners.
A LOT of old-timey southeners STILL think that. In fact, they wouldn't think
any other way. MY, how times have changed.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"Aunt Bee makes a good point. I grew up in a town (Henagar, AL) with no black
people living there and I'm only 36. There still aren't any African Americans
there OR in a 30 mile (or more) radius around the town. There were only 2
high schools (out of 12) in the entire county that had any blacks attending.
This isn't, so far as I know, by any design. It's just the population make up
of the county"
Hey Allan, dont forget about Cullman, another small town in the South
with hardly any African-Americans, and an all white high school. What is
ironic i think is that we have a community in the county that is like
stepping back in time to Mayberry with an integrated high school. This, too,
isnot by any design, i think, just how things evolved from the 50`s and
60`s.-just adding my two cents worth!
Mrs. Mendlebright
ps., Allan, where is Henagar in relation to Huntsville? not familiar with
it..

Subject: 3 questions

Okay, lets see if I can get this right!
1. What was the month and year mentioned on the show that Barney joined
the force. ( I have heard two different dates).
If I remember right, in Citizens Arrest, Andy says it was August of
1953ten years ago last month since I sworn you in! However, in Barneys
Physical, at the beginning they celebrate Barneys anniversary as a deputy
by giving him a watch with 5 on the back. (Since hes been in for five
years.) Now the calendar on the wall during this scene shows the month of
May I believe. If I remember right, Barneys Physical is in the 3rd season,
so this would put Barney has hired in May of 57 or 58. (whew!)
2. What is Barney's shoe size ?
a. 7 and = B
3. What is Barney referring to about a 42-J ?

Subject: Pizza and African Americans in Mayberry
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 15:52:43 -0600
Hiddy all! Wow! It seems like everyone but me remembered the pizza in
"Three's A Crowd"! I did as soon as I read it, though! I don't have any
shows on tape, so I don't have the reference library some of you do! I have
all of the I Love Lucy and the Lucy Desi Comedy Hour tapes, so I guess I'll
go with a third set and add Andy and the gang to the list!
Now on to the subject of African Americans in Mayberry.
"The fact is, there were towns which did not have blacks. Not by
a lack of inclusion, it just happened that way."
"There still aren't any African Americans there OR in a 30 mile (or more)
radius around the town."
I hadn't thought of it before, but the idea that there just might not have
been any blacks there is a good one. Like Allan said, there is a town or
two still out there without African Americans. One of them was, and might
still be, Corning, AR. As of a few years ago, there were only one or two
African Americans living near there. Another is the home of 'The Man in
Black', Johnny Cash himself, Dyess, AR (pronounced Dice). I lived there a
few years ago and there was ONE African American family living there and
they were the first black family to live there since the town was built
during the WPA.
Lots of luck to you and yours!
