With the recent conversations about the location of Wally's and the help
with the photos, I am now even more convinced that the scene where Malcolm
Tucker breaks down in Man in a Hurry is in that little turn coming into
Wally's. The road behind him looks right and you see the telephone poles on
the other side of the tree line, so that fits. If I'm right, good ol' Mr.
Tucker breaks down about 50 ft from Wally's! Maybe he didn't have his
glasses with him.

That is not true. All but one of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" episodes were
filmed directly in front of a studio audience, as Van Dyke preferred that
atmosphere and the audience feedback. The one exception was filmed the week
after the Kennedy assassination and used a canned laughtrack. I always
understood the only reason TAGS wasn't filmed that way (except for the Danny
Thomas pilot) was that the producers wanted a lot of outside location scenes.
As for the technique of just showing the finished product before a studio
audience and recording their responses, I only know of one show that did it
that way, and that was "All in the Family" and even then, only during the
last couple of years of the show.

The discussion was about Petunias. " If there's one thing I know about,
it's pottin petunias!" And I think Gentleman Dan Cauldwell was about the
meanest. After all he did pull a gun on Aunt Bee!!!

Subject: gun rack/a-pathy!
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the 'bank security' episode, where Barney dresses
up like the cleaning woman and gets locked in the bank
vault, there is no security bar on the gun rack.
Usually there is a locked bar across it, to keep the
guns out of the wrong hands. Even though the bar looks
like it would simply keep the rifles from falling out.
Remember, "the towns lack of security is due to
A-pathy!"

Subject: Spaghetti dinners
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hey All!
I was watching the show last night where Andy eats 3 spaghetti dinners and
noticed that in the last two dinners they didn't have drinks on the table. I
didn't really think about it until after he ate with Goober so I'm not sure
if they had a drink then. That would be an easy blooper for the actors to
notice, wouldn't you think? Just thinking about eating food without something
to drink just kind of chokes me up inside. ha
As for the question about the meanest person that ever came to Mayberry. That
is a hard one since there have been so many but I would have to choose Bill
Bixby playing the smart college kid tearing across country in that speed
wagon. Of course by the end of the show he softened up but until then he was
a sight!
Have a great weekend!

While I was watching the episode "A Visit to Barney Fife" last night
something caught my attention. When Barney and Andy and everyone was
sitting around the table talking about the grocery store robberies, Agnes
Jean came out of the kitchen and it just dawned on me. This house looks
exactly like the Taylor Home!! Was it the same house?

I know this has been talked over and over. But I am a Columbia House DVD club
member and cannot seem to ever reach anyone, by phone, who can tell me whether
or not I can order VHS TAGS videos. I was once a member of the TV club, but
don't know about now. How can I get a copy of GO0BER'S GOOFS!! I can't sleep

Hey Everybody,
I agree. I think Roger Hanover was the meanest guy that liked Aunt Bee.
Even though Mr. Wheeler was a con, at least he was nice to Andy. I found
Roger Hanover sarcastic and disrespectful to Andy. Just the way he looked
at Andy with a vendictive look and the way he called him boy. I think
just as a conversation piece without any proof, maybe they changed the
locks on the jail cell door so you would have to lock it even if you
closed it. I think that maybe as a precaution they did that so Big Barn
would not continue to lock himself or him and Ange in the jail cell
anymore to avoid any future embarrasment.
You know under this bucket I was just a thankin and thankin! Shazam!

Hanover was a little bit mean, but Hodie Snitch would lay into him like

I know we don't do too many restaurant reviews in here, but I just
have to tell you about this experience because it was so "Mayberry". Eating
out was a big deal in Mayberry..a common thing to do with your girlfriend,
or wife, just like it is today.
The Mayberry similarity starts with the name of the place. Loon
Lake Lodge. You know what I was lookin for.. a red-crested web-footed Lake
Loon, when I took my better half there. This establishment was pretty big,
something you would have to travel to Raleigh to experience from Mayberry.
It's on the order of the Rain Forest Cafe, if you have ever been to one of
those. The dining area is filled with trees and animals (animatronics). I
know Andy would love the place because its so outdoorsy. It was like eatin
out at Myers Lake or in Ole Man Kelsey's Woods. I kept waitin' for one of
those upside down flyin' owls to drop in.
As you might guess, the prices were none to cheap..and I, like
Goober, ain't no Rockefeller you know. I felt like Andy when Peggy took him
to that swanky place and ordered for him..Or Barney in that French
Restaurant when he just picked out stuff on the menu, he had no idea what it
was. Yes sir, I was right up there with the Esquire Club boys. I was a
regular Oliver Gossage (ETB) visiting the Mrs. Wi-leys of the world. The
main reason we was there was because we had a gift certificate...but I knew
that I still had to leave more that a quarter tip for Olive, bless her soul.
To show you how fancy it was, they had Elk Chops, Wall-Eyed Pike (no carp
though, we kill carp in Mayberry) and about two pages of wines on the menu.
I thought about goin' Dutch, but decided to just get the Special. Every ten
minutes or so, you could hear these animal sounds up in the trees. There
was even a big bear up in the tree, but I didn't see Mayor Stoner with his
pants all torn up.
The people were real nice, and the food was good but it was the
decorations and the gift shop that took me back to Mayberry. The first
thing I saw in the gift shop was a stuffed Wild Boar, and I wondered if it
was done by that taxidermist what sewed up Hogette Winslow's head. Then I
turned around and decoys, Shazam! About a dozen real duck-lookin'
decoys'..shazam. The had all sorts of hunting' and fishin' stuff, but it
probably cost more than what Ole man Weaver's got. They also had this huge
fish tank, (1700 gal) with these fish as big as Old Sam. I looked at one of
them and he seemed to talk to me, tellin me he'd rather be out in Myers lake
with all his friends. They even had a rowboat about the size of ole Gertrude
hangin' upside down over the bar.
Now I didn't have one of them there pheasant birds like Gomer and
Barney did,or a mess-o-fish like Gomer caught for his Life-saver man, but I
sure felt like I was out there in the wilderness with Ole Barn..walkin in
circles and followin' the gentle sounds of the Lake Loon...

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It is a well known fact that Andy Griffith was born the same day and year as
Marilyn Monroe: June 1, 1926. It might a lesser known fact that Ron Howard
was born the same day and year as Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke): March 1, 1954.
Actor Casey Adams, who appeared in the film 'Niagara' with Marilyn Monroe,
later guest starred on 'The Horse Trader' episode of TAGS.
The most commonly known TAGS/Duke connection is James Best and Denver Pyle,
who later went on to become 'Duke' regulars. A few actors who guest starred
on TAGS later guest starred on 'The Dukes of Hazzard.' These include Elinor
Donahue, R.G.Armstrong, and Hoke Howell.
TAGS and 'The Dukes of Hazzard' were two shows where the word 'dipstick' was
utilized differently.

Pam,
Very interesting point. I too enjoy those little details. Here's what I think,
for whatever it's worth.
When Andy or Barn are locking in a prisoner, the directors are merely
emphasing "a lock up".
When Barney locks himself in; it's the only way it can be funny. It is not
reality. I commented
about that very thing and my very knowledgeable wife replied " It's because it
is in the script that
way".
Here's one I don't understand. ??? When Andy is getting into or outof the
squad car he gets out
from the passenger side.
