Dixon - Small world my brother graduated the same year as Jim Varney from
Lafayette High School. Small world.
I have often wondered about the Ernest T/Jim Varney look alike and sameness
in their actions. I think you're right Ernest T has been copied so many
times. I even see a lot of Ernest T in Ralph Malph on 'Happy Days'.

In 2 episodes, when Aunt Bee is the warden and in Hot Rod Otis, Otis gets
soaked in bed. First when he lays down with his vase (the cause of the
famous line "I've come to fill my vase.") and Andy splashes him to convince
him he's drowned. Now can you imagine sleeping in a wet bed and in wet
clothes? But Otis doesn't seem to mind.
And, given the housekeeper Aunt Bee was, I just can't see her calmly
standing by as Otis soaks her coverlet, sheets and mattress with vase water!

Now, for my question:
In that same episode (Barney's Sidecar), in the very beginning Andy and
Barney are in the courthouse discussing the need (or lack thereof) of
another car. Andy says something about they don't have the money. Barney
then says that police departments get the least funds, but it's "Thank you,
Johnny Steptoe when the guns begin to blaze." Who's Johnny Steptoe?

I was watching the episode "My Fair Ernest T" and, in my opinion, one of
the funniest scenes ever is in that episode. When Mrs. Wiley discovers
that Oliver is really Ernest T and Andy and Barney try to drag him out the
door, I cant help but double over with laughter. To me that is true
comedic acting!
Also thanks to all of the fun here in Mayberry. I just love getting to
work every morning and reading the digest. I will be spending the weekend
in Mt Airy and going to the play "Love Letters". It sure is nice to get
away from the city and spend a quiet weekend with all the Mayberry gang!

Greetings
Recently saw the movie "Big Bully" with Rick Moranis and Tom Arnold and Don
had a bit part as the principal just another sighting of TAGS actors in
different shows/movies and playing different characters but still have the
Mayberry touch to the character that's what I get. Last night on TV LAND
caught My fairest Ernest T. and Barney asking who has handled the rock that
he threw and the quote "now you lay people have to learn not to touch
evidence" and taking the rock to the lab to see if the rock is a foreign rock
or a local rock had me rolling.

sure am enjoying having TVLAND

Barney says "Thank you, Johnny Shafto, when the guns begin to shoot." I've
never been able to figure out who Johnny Shafto was (perhaps a product of
Barney's imagination) but the rest of the line is a paraphrase from Rudyard
Kipling's "Tommy." Kipling's original line was:
It's Tommy this an' Tommy that an' "Chuck 'im out, the brute,"
But it's "Savior of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot.

In this episode, as Aunt Bee was saying, they said they didn't have the money.
If thats the case, who paid for the cycle?

Hey, I always thought Barney said "Johnny Shafto" which sounds like
an old gangster's way of refering to the cops. I don't know.

Subject: TV Land Book
Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 14:18:10 -0500
Yesterday I checked out the book, TV Land to Go: The Big Book of TV Lists, TV
Lore and TV Bests by Tom Hill from the library. All in all I would not
recommend it. However it did mention TAGS a few times. Pg. 27 TV Anagrams:
The Andy Griffith Show = Adrift? Why then, go fish! & Barney Fife = Fine by
fear. Pg 32 The 18 best TV books ever: #17 Mayberry 101: Behind the Scenes
of a TV Classic by Neal Brower. Pg 57 The 10 best movies with stars who first
made their mark in television: #7 American Grafitti - Ron Howard. Pg. 63 15
TV actors who have gone on to direct: #2 Ron Howard. Pg. 86 Worst Possible
Men's softball Team: SS: Howard McNear. Pg. 87 Best Possible Men's Softball
Team: LF: George Lindsey. Pg. 97 Old sitcom stars never die. They solve
crimes!: "Andy Griffith from small-town sheriff to small-town lawyer." (This
is a fragment! Since when is Atlanta a small town?) Pg. 125 TV's 20 best
actors: #5 Andy Griffith, #12 Don Knotts. Tom Hill spends the majority of the
book listing and describing the so-called Top 100 sitcom episodes Pg. 128-326.
TAGS makes the list 4 times (more than any other show I think but I could have
miscounted.) #99 - "Class Reunion," #89 - "Opie & the Bully," #57 - "Barney &
the Choir," #28 - "Man in a Hurry." Also #11 Make Room for Daddy, "Danny
Meets Andy Griffith." Gomer made the list once #72 - "Flower Power". What I
disliked the most about this book is the shows that beat out TAGS particularly
#21 Ellen. A few intersting facts but I wouldn't bother reading this one.

Subject: It really gets to me...
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
There are numerous scenes in numerous episodes that really put a lump in my
throat, even to this day. There are the obvious ones, like Barney's speech
in defending Andy against the charges brought on by that newspaper columnist.
But there are others that get to me that aren't so noticeable. Maybe it
doesn't effect others like it does me. One that comes to mind is the scene
where Andy hears that Weaver's is trying to put Burt Miller's stand out of
business by giving away things. Andy goes to see Burt, and finds him alone
in that ramshackle stand, straightening his meager merchandise, unaware that
he'd been a pawn. Just doing the best he can, and trying to remain positive.
It's all but impossible not to feel great sympathy for the man. And Andy's
expression of regret really puts the nail in it.

Now, for my question:
In that same episode (Barney's Sidecar), in the very beginning Andy and
Barney are in the courthouse discussing the need (or lack thereof) of
another car. Andy says something about they don't have the money.
Barney
then says that police departments get the least funds, but it's "Thank
you,
Johnny Steptoe when the guns begin to blaze." Who's Johnny Steptoe?
--Aunt Bee in Ohio
I think what he was really saying is Johnny SHAFTtoe. This is referring to
the fact that police departments get the shaft everytime they want something
for the department. Hope this helps.
To you and yours.

Subject: Rebuilding the town of Mayberry
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a question for any carpenters or building
contractors here in Mayberry.
If I suddenly discovered I had inherited the Wal-Mart
fortune I would like to rebuild the town of Mayberry.
Depending on how much money I came into I would want
to start out with the Court House, Andy's house and
Floyd's barber shop. If I could really afford to go
whole hog I would want to go all the way out to
Wally's filling station.
In some of the shots I noticed if you look up through
the windows, of a building, you can see the blue sky.
So you would not have to totally build every building.
Without doing too much calculating are there any
ideas, off the top of your head, as to how much each
of the buildings I mentioned would cost to build?
Gary
P.S.
I'm ready to move in right now. Who wants to join me?
