I hope everyone has a great time at Mayberry Days this weekend. Come back
and tell us stories on the digest.
Welcome to the new members.
This past Sunday I played The Andy Griffith Show game. The game is my
sister's. She is bringing up my nephew right
he watches TAGS. We played the game twice an I won both times. (I'm trying
not to brag.) We both helped my nephew
with some of the answers.
Is this game sold at Weaver's?
Margaret
Have a great Mayberry day.

He probably meant the vertical hold was messed up, a common problem with TV
sets of that day. If the VH wasn't working, the top edge of the picture
would continuously and rapidly move down to the bottom of the screen, over
and over (though I can't see how a malfunctioning freezer two rooms away
could have caused this).

I believe it means the horizontal hold needs to be adjusted because the
picture is rolling (something today's TVs don't do as much), but that's
strictly a guess.

Subject: Falling Down the Steps
This is a really odd statement that I can remember people using years ago
to describe a picture that is all wavy and appears to be turned sideways.
In those pre-cable days when electical outages were far more common, tv's
were very much affected by storms and electrical brownouts.

Hi All I can figure about what Opie said was that the
malfunctioning freezer with the secret side of beef in, it was causing
the TV Picture to go beserk.
Loved that episode.

I believe he is referring to a "scrambled" picture that appears as zig-zag
lines going across the screen with a "stair-step" appearance. They usually went
on a diagonal as well, adding to the stair-step appearance. That is what we
used to see on the set when I was a child and we were trying to tune in a UHF
signal, and we weren't right on the channel.
Lots o' luck to you and yours!

My Grandmother used to say this when someone turned on a vaccuum in her
house. Her explaination of this metaphor was that the "picture got
zigzag shaped" like stairs are shaped, kinda like a sine wave.

Being fairly new to the board, don't know if this has been discussed before,
but Jamie Farr, (the co-pilot in "No Time ---) was one of the gypsies on TAGS.

This was just a random memory, but one of the funniest things Barney did was,
in the "Jailbreak" episode, at the end, he's at the trailer park, waiting on
Ange, when the trailer door opens, he runs to the front of the car and stoops
down, when Allan Melvin's "partner" starts the car, and turns the lights on,
Barn takes a deep breath and "prepares" to hold the car and trailer back,
(with the body of a judo fighter!!!) Brought back a laugh. John Skaggs

The movie "Big Jake" starring John Wayne was on T.V.
As I sat watching the movie John comes upon a man about to be hung for
being a sheep farmer.
The sheep farmer was played by Bernard Fox, our very own Malcolm
Merriweather.
Mr. Fox is not listed in the credits of the movie, but you know it is him
when he starts talking.
It is so great to be watching a movie when one of our TAGS people show up
on the screen.
Have a great day.
Margaret

In the old days, there vertical and horizontal hold knobs on TVs. If these
were out of kilter, the picture would kind of scramble and go sideways or it
would continuously roll, like if the picture showing on the screen was
repeated over and over on the edge of a wheel and you were looking at the edge
of the wheel. Savvy?

Old TV's, the kind with what I called "clunky tuners" would have knobs for
"vertical hold" and "horizontal hold". Sometimes the picture would start
rolling, where the picture would move upward with another picture right
behind it. You would adjust the vertical hold to stop the rolling. I believe
Opie is refering to that condition.

Woe is me...
Poor pitiful me...
I won't be at Mayberry Days...
Oh, the misery...the injustice of it all...
I guess I'll have to sit around home in sack cloth and ashes...
And to top it all off...I have in-laws coming to town...
Just kidding about that last one...well...sort of...
It's a brother-in-law...but, I don't know where he stands in the subject of
Andy, so I've always been a little suspicious of him.
Okay, I'll be looking to hear some incredible and detailed reports about the
weekend.
Be thinking of me...poor pitiful me...
Have a WONDERFUL time, and enjoy it for all of us who can't make it there.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Note to Les and Jeannie: When Opie says the tv is falling down the steps, he
is referring to the vertical control on their set having gone haywire. Check
your tv set, if it has a vertical control knob, then mess with it a little
bit and you'll see exactly what ol' Ope means.
I had never heard this expression before I heard Opie say it, but I knew just
what he meant. I guess I must have learned it somewhere and was too lazy to
forget it.
