Subject: Back door/Bank vault
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 07:21:45 -0500
Did the back door of the Mayberry Bank Vault have a screen door? It has
been a while since I saw this episode. I hope everyone remembers it was the
episode where Andy was sitting inside the vault waiting on the crook to
figure out the combination. Andy told him they had forgotten the vault
combination, so they had to knock a hole in the vault and put in a back
door. This episode is hilarious! Everyone do themselves a big favor and
check out the safe crackers face when Andy tells him that story. The
expressions are priceless.

Is there a URL where I can read this wonderful interchange between Barney
and Andy? Please email me [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with
any information. I have forgotten what the girls name is, but I think if
Barney married her, he received a free cemetary plot and 1/2 interest in a
prune pitting business???
Thanks, Jim

I found this at the website: http://www.cmongethappy.com/interviews/db/
He was interviewed by Gilmore Rizzo for cmongethappy.com on his brand new
boat, in Marina Del Rey, CA on October 30, 2000.
"My first credit was Danny Bonaduce as Opies friend on an episode of The
Andy Griffith Show. I didnt have any dialogue, though. I also did Mayberry
RFD."
According to something else I read, he did 3 episodes of RFD but TAGS is not
listed. It could be because he had no dialogue.
THanks, Maria

Favorite scenes? I don't know where to begin...
There's the one in "Convicts at Large" where Barney decides to seduce Big
Maude ("You're starting to get to me!"), the famous "Giraffes are selfish!"
speech, Barney's ill-fated trip through the country in his new '54 Ford he
bought from "Hubcaps" Lesch, the classic "septic tank" routine from that same
episode, Barney catching the wanted criminal and his "High Noon"-type walk
across main street just afterward ("This is the deadly game, I'm in it for
keeps!"), Barney's two rules at "The Rock," Briscoe Darling gettin' beat to
death with a spoon, Barney's real estate deal going south (no) thanks to
Opie's honesty, Aunt Bee's surprisingly severe reaction to Barney's
motorcycle, the scene from that same episode in which the hand reaches out
from under the station wagon and snatches away Barney's chalk marker, Opie
releasing the birds back into the wild (sniff)...gosh, the list goes on and
on.

I too agree Mike would have been a great actor in just about any role he
played in Mayberry. He truly has the small hometown charm and a super felloe
to say the least. When the satellite dishes first came out not the big ones
but the small ones like every one has now. I worked western Tennessee as a
installer, Dresden was a typical Mayberry town and I would imagine
population wise it compares fairly close. Mike still comes into town and
hangs out in the coffee shop and carries on all the time as he does when you
see him on television, Ass Floyd would say "He's a prince, a real prince of
a fella."

It is very difficult for me to pick a favorite
episode. I love them all. However, what I truly look
forward to seeing are the classic scenes in "The
Pickle Story". I love the look Andy and Barney give
to each other when Aunt Bee surprises them with
pickles. Then in the same episode there is another
classic look. I love the face Andy and Barney make
when they take a bite of that kerosene cucumber.
Also, to the person who made reference to John Boy and
Billy... Aren't they the funniest?

Scotia".

To: WBMUTBB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I should know this but humor me. Can you believe that
I was born & raised in Wilkesboro, NC (just a whip and
a whisker away from Mt. Airy) and I have never been to
Mayberry Days? I know it is early in the year but how
can I find out about Mayberry Days? Is there a
website with hotel information, activites, events,
etc...? All this talk about what a wonderful time
everyone had last year has made me want to go.
Besides, I want to meet these wonderful people with
which I have been chatting outside the digest.
Unfortunately, the beach always calls my name about
that time too. Barney had to have been describing me
when he was telling Andy about those Miami beach
bunny's. Give me ocean, sand & a blanket and you have
given me a little slice of heaven.

Hiddy all! "I was just wondering if anybody has any favorite classic
scenes that they just can't wait to see when an episode comes on?"
What a great question, Horatio (Kevin)! One of my favorites was on the
other night on TV Land. In the epilog of "Keeper of the Flame", Andy
gives Opie a flashlight for his duties as "Keeper of the Flame" and after
Andy walks out of the bedroom, Opie looks at his flashlight and says, "He
ain't sa (so) dumb." I just love that scene! It cracks me up and I look
forward to the end of the show just to see it. But, of course, before
that classic scene in the same episode is Barney, totally soused, saying
"Jubal. Jubal. Jubal, Jubal, JUUUUUUBAAALLLLL." I just love Andy!
When people call me at home and say, "What are you doing?" Nine times out
of ten I can honestly say, "Watching Andy!" My Mom always responds, "I
should have known!" :-) My Mommy knows me well! ;)
Yall have a Mayberrylicious day!

BARNEY: You know, a few years back a similar thing happened to me.
ANDY: Yeah?
BARN: Maybe I never told you about it. The girls name was Halcyon Loretta
Winslow.
ANDY: Pretty name.
BARN: Ugliest girl you ever saw in your life. What happened was her father
got it in
his head that I should marry Halcyon. You know, he saw my picture in
the
paper. You remember when I won that church raffle--four free
haircuts?
ANDY: Oh, yeah. Picture's all over the front page.
BARN: You know how that affects people. The go crazy. Right away, he saw
civil
servant, security. Right? Then he saw unmarried, and at the time I
was only
three-oh.
ANDY: Thirty.
BARN: Right. He saw in me an untapped source of lifetime happiness for his
ugly
daughter. So, needless to say they got my phone number from the
barber
and the rest is history
ANDY: I don't believe I ever heard of it.
BARN: You didn't? Well I'll tell ya', it's like a tale outta two cities.
First, I only saw the old man for about a week. He made me a
tempting offer: third interest in a prune-pitting operation.
ANDY: There's a lot of money in that.
BARN: Well, you gotta like it. Full use of the company car, an interest
in the family home, and a beautiful hillside plot in the
Mt. Pilot cemetery.
ANDY: That burial plot alone is worth a fortune.
BARN: You know me. When opportunity knocks, ol' Barn's got to at least
take a
peek and see if there's anybody on the stoop. Anyway, the old man
made a
date for all of us to meet down at Klein's Coffeehouse for American
cheese
and garni.
ANDY: Yeah. You finally met her, huh?
BARN: Oh boy.
ANDY: Not to pretty?
BARN: Beasto maristo. I'll tell ya', that cheese sandwich stuck right
there for about
three days.
ANDY: How'd you finally get off the hook?
BARN: Well, first of all, I paid for my own cheese sandwich.
ANDY: Wipe out any obligations.
BARN: Right. Then I took the old man to one side and I told him straight
out, N-O,
a flat no dice.......But he kept after me, letters phone calls,
driving that
company car by all shiny and new. But I held my ground. Pretty soon
he got
the idea, and that was the end of it.
ANDY: Whatever happened to Halcyon?
BARN: Well, you know she went east to one of them schools where they trim
you
down, clear your skin, make you walk around with a book on your head.
ANDY: Don't tell me she turned out to be beautiful?
BARN: No. She's still ugly, single, and pitting prunes.

>I was just wondering if anybody has any favorite

Just saw the one where Barbara Eden walks away from
the courthouse. That's an all time fave, for obvious
reasons. But the one I wait for steadfastly is the
entire #77 (Man in a Hurry). Especially when they're
singing on the front porch, as well as the epilogue,
with the apple peel. Barney's uncut "Giraffes sure
are selfish" is another. Barney chanting "Pipe down
3, I think I've heard just about enough about that
tomato" is a classic. Jim Lindsey's obvious non
mastery of the guitar is good for a few laughs. The
banker/pickle judge tasting Aunt Bee's kerosene
cucumbers, Barney in drag, Barney at Weavers, as a
mannequin whisper/screaming "I said go, go, go!", is a
gut buster. Floyd sitting in Gilley Walkers' car, and
previously saying "It's a beautiful thing to watch"
repeatedly. Floyd discussing Al not watching the
hamburgers cook after they caught the 3 lady convicts.
Every time Barney locks himself in a cell. And the
entire Mr. McBeeve, Opie the Birdman, and Opies' Hobo
friend episodes. Tuscarora.....I could continue for
159 episodes worth.......
Was watching last night and realized how absurd it was
that Barney was in front of a station wagon, and when
the lady started it up, Barney acted like he actually
could have prevented the car from moving. It would
have killed him, or at least crushed his entire spine.
If she was going for cigarettes, why didn't she
unhitch the trailer? Points to ponder.

Received this question the other day. Anyone have an idea???
*****
What make & model was Barney Fife's sidearm?
I was just watching an episode where he unintentionally fires at the ceiling in
the Courthouse.
It appeared to have a blue finish, but had a shiny backstrap (rear of the
handle).
The ejector rod looked to be unshrouded.
It was wide at the bottom of the butt and had either black or dark wood grips.
In one scene, I thought I saw a silver Colt medallion on the grip.
In another picture, I didn't see it.
*****
Thanks for the help!

My all time favorite scene is from the episode where Andy goes to another
town to check on another job offer and he leaves Barney in charge for the day
to see how he likes being Sherriff.
The scene is where Barney is talking to Floyd on the sidewalk about Andy
leaving and how he sure dont want that to happen but all Floyd can think
about is the big traffic jam that happened.
"That sure was a big one Barn!" "I havent seen a traffic jam like that since
the 39' Worlds Fair."
Floyd is at his best in that one I think. I really crack up when Andy comes
back and joins them on the sidewalk. Barney tells Floyd to not say anything
but Floyd cant help but to let the cat out of the bag.......LOL.
First thing he says when Andy walks up is " Oh, you missed it Andy!"
Barney: " Floyd we have go to do something to keep Andy in Mayberry, create
some kind of trouble or something."
Floyd: " You being sherriff ought to be trouble enough."

Its hard to choose because there are so many good ones to choose from.
Cow Thief episode
Barney: "YOU SEE MAYOR. I dont think you are getting the overall picture!
Able here was a small man, while Baker and Char................"
At this time the tape measure that barney is using for a pointer gets all
twisted and bent out of shape making a loud noise and the mayor catches the
end of the tape and holds it down.
Mayor: "Deputy Fife, please dont explain it to me."
At that the mayor lets the end of the tape go and it suddenly recoils back
into the housing with a ZIPPPPPPP!!!!!
Barney's reaction is priceless!.......LOL

I remembered Danny as an extra on one episode, and I'm going to check
first chance I get, but it seems to me it was at one of those Jr. High
gatherings--either the dance in "Look, Pa, I'm Dancing" or Arnold's party
in "Opie's First Love"? I do believe he was back for R.F.D., though,
too.
Hey, I just picked up a TAGS collectible Christmas ornament for half
price at the Cracker Barrel. I've found memorabilia there on a number of
occasions--it sure beats the shipping and handling charges I've paid for
Weaver's (I'm not complaining, though; that would be breaking rule No.
1). Does anybody know of other places out here in the heartland a guy
could go shopping for those goodies? I don't get over to Mt. Airy as
often as some of you.
