Watching Opie learning football from Flip Conroy, I couldn't help but notice
(for the first time) the chain link fence, the gate and the shack that makes
up the gate Gomer always guards. Based on what we know of 40 Acres, that
means they were playing football directly across from Wally's.
They way they set the scene, they were always running into "Camp Henderson"
when they had to go home. Of course, that's to be expected since Gomer
wasn't guarding the gate.

With the Christmas Concert coming up in just a few weeks, John Masters told
me he was in desperate need of a new tenor. Seems whoever he now has in
that slot just isn't working out. I'd do it, but my sister for Currituck is
coming with her family that weekend.

Subject: TAGS cast members in movies

I recently watched one of my favorite sci-fi movies: "The Day the Earth Stood
Still."
Three TAGS cast members appear together in it--Frances Bavier, Olan Soule,
and
Hugh Marlowe (record promoter). Maybe we've covered this ground before, but
are there any other movies pre/post TAGS where three or more TAGS cast
members
appeared together? Go ahead, put your bucket on and "have a think under
there."

Of course, I had to try to answer this one. Here are some attorneys portrayed
on TAGS:
There were the two "brilliant barristers" passed up by Ms. Crowley the woman
speeder. Clarence Polk was one, but I can't remember the other for
sure....One was selling aluminum siding and the other was umpiring ball
games...Also, since Ms. Crowley appeared on her own behalf (pro se) she could
be considered an attorney for that case...
There was Arthur Harrington, attorney for "the Bailey Boy" played by Bill
Bixby
There was Bob Rogers from the State Attorney's office, sent by Andy's "old
friend" Ralph Baker, another attorney in "Barney's Replacement."
There was Lee Drake, the woman attorney from Raleigh....
Mr. Jackson, the publisher arrested by Andy, brought his attorney to answer
the speeding ticket....
Mr. Milton was an attorney who visited during "Andy on Trial," and presided
over the hearing. Also, there was the attorney who cross-examined Barney
during the hearing
And, finally, there was of course my namesake, everybody's favorite lawyer,
Neil Bentley.....There could have been others, but these are the ones that
come to mind right away....
Brad "Neil Bentley" Cunningham

...Maybe not quite so rare as you think.
I regularly read an internet newsgroup devoted to television in general. I
noticed they seemed to slam anything that was funny--first blasting every new
sitcom, then constantly complaining about "Friends," "Everybody Loves
Raymond" and other highly rated shows. Then they started relentlessly going
after classics like "Cheers." I finally asked if the group itself was biased
against comedy in general and sitcoms in particular, saying I laugh out loud
at everything from "Lucy" to "Raymond" and consider myself normal.
I got a surprising response.
A couple of posters admitted that almost nothing makes them laugh; one even
felt those who watched and laughed at sitcoms were a lower form of life than
himself (how sad) and another said laughter was a form of irritation (how
bizarre). A few others pleaded guilty to having some odd tastes (or thinking
all of America has odd tastes while they are perfectly normal). But a large
number of people really surprised me by saying nothing on TV now compares to
the classics, and several of them specifically cited TAGS...first I heard
they *ever* cared about Mayberry. Turned out they not only cared, they loved
"The Andy Griffith Show" and even laughed at it while having very
discriminating tastes. A couple even singled out Don Knotts and Howard
McNear.
So please keep this in mind: the Mayberry constituency isn't limited to us
(the biggest die-hard fans) by any means, and surely the VHS/DVD distributors
know this or will find this out if their market research is worth anything.

dear friends,
would anyone here in town happen to know the episode where barney recites the
"Juanita, Juanita, Juanite......from her head to her feet..." stanza? it's
often hard to remember which episodes these certain little gems are located,
since these scenes rarely had anything to do with the actual story line of a
given episode. i'd 'preciate it.

Subject: Attorneys in Mayberry
Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 12:44:57 -0500
Thanks for all the help on this question. Here's our results so far based
on your responses, and my thoughts. Actually it occurred to me that there
are very few lawyer appearances, for as many "cases" which are tried or
heard in Mayberry.
1) In the Woman Speeder episode, Jean Boswell passes on Mayberry's
part-time barristers who are fishing and selling aluminum siding, and
represents herself.
2) In Bill Bixby's appearance as Ronald Bailey, his father's lawyer Arthur
Harrington comes to try to bail him out.
3) In Andy on Trial, Mr. Jackson brings in someone from the "State's
Attorney's" office (played by Richard Vath) who tries to get Andy thrown
out. This is probably the most dramatic "trial" in Mayberry.
4) The most memorable lawyer to appear in Mayberry was Neil Bentley who
represented Otis in Otis sues the County. (my card in case you ever need my
services)
5) Of course there was Lee(Leigh?) Drake that "grim" lady lawyer from the
big city with the nice swimming pool.
6) In the episode Aunt Bee the Juror, I believe there was a prosecuting
attorney, but I don't remember his name.
7) In the color episode "The Tape Recorder" Opie and Arnold record the
criminal speaking to his attorney "Miles Bentley" (which was part 2 of my
question, what 2 lawyers have the same last name--Neil and Miles)
It seems like there may have been one or two others. Was Bob (by the book)
Roger's from the State's attorney's office?
Famous cases without Lawyers...The Case of the Punch in the Nose, The case
of the Black-listing of Trey Bowden (why get a lawyer when a veterinarian
will do?), Divorce Mountain Style, Barney Fife charged with Breach of
Promise suit.
I think the fact that there wasn't enough business to keep a lawyer
in Mayberry in Business fulltime, speaks to the very nature of the town.
Few criminals to defend, and rarely did people sue each other.
Speaking of Neil Bentley...another rarity in Mayberry seemed to be Business
Cards. People seemed to rely on word of mouth and Sarah. Other than Neil
Bentley, and Aunt Bee ordering Business Cards for Andy from her
counterfeiting bosses...did you ever see any other business/calling cards in
Mayberry? (my card..in case you're ever in need of my services)
In his try as an Insurance man, Emmett did give out calendars...with all the
days of the year on them.

Cracked up watching one of those court shows recently. The defendant had
set off fireworks and caused property damage to a neighbor. Another
neighbor, upset with the fireworks turned her garden hose on the defendant
and his friends shooting off fireworks. She knew how to fight fire...with a

I checked my tape of "Andy and The Lady Speeder" and came up with the names of
the two "brilliant barristers.
According to Barney, Raif Peterson was selling aluminum
siding because things have been a little slow. Clarence Polk might be
available. He dosen't start umpiring ballgames until June.

Subject: Subject: Mayberry Dolls
Male dolls do not sell as well as female dolls by a long shot, and Mattel almost
always deals in glamour more than nostalgia. When you have a character like
Marilyn or even Lucy, the opportunity exists to market numerous dolls in various
costumes and gowns. However, they have recently begun doing seasonal dolls like
the Munsters and Addams family, so the thing to would be for plenty of people to
contact Mattel before the next major TAGS anniversary and try to get them to do
an anniversary set. The Franklin Mint also focuses on celebrity dolls, but
again,
glamour and costuming are the key unless you can target a major anniversary and
convince them the market is there. Mattel used to make specialty Barbies for any
company that would preorder 5,000 or more of the dolls. Perhaps if enough TAGS
vendors were to be persuaded to sell a set someone like Weavers could work out a
deal with Mattel to produce the dolls...

Hey friends,
I *hope* you're actually reading this because I want to be sure you all
realize that you CANNOT get a virus from the WBMTUBB Digest. I chose back
when we started this list to make it a "text only" mailing list. That means
that any "attachments" are stripped out of the messages and removed.
Today (Monday) a message with the subject "Hi,japanese lass' sexy pictures
(Anewsome)" was sent to the WBMTUBB Digest so that it *LOOKED* like it came
from me....which it did not. It was actually sent by on of those viruses
that, unknown to the infected person, sends from one users account while
picking an address from that users mailbox and making the sender of that
message appear to be the sender.
Anyway, this is a problem we're gonna have to face here at the Digest BUT
remember..I remove any attachments and I, nor the WBMUTBB Digest, will EVER
send you an attachment.
If you receive an e-mail with an attachment from ANYBODY, do not open it
unless you were expecting it. Contact the person before you open the
attachment.
I realize this isn't 100% effective but it, combined with a good Virus
Scanner software (Norton, etc) will protect you from the Ben Weaver's of the
virus world.
I'm sorry to take up Digest space talking about this but I wanted to be
certain that everyone understands what's happening.
For those that don't know, I'm the e-mail administrator where I work (about
700 users) so I'm fairly up-to-date on this type thing.
PLEASE...now that this has been said...Let's get back to talking about
Mayberry and not focus at all on the viruses that try to take away our fun.

Hey to all! Hope your Thanksgiving was great.
On our drive home from Okla. City to Kansas City last weekend, we tuned the
radio to the Univ. of Oklahoma vs. Okla. State Univ. football game ("The
Bedlam Series" as we Okies call it.) Anywho, we heard an example of what
makes AM radio so charming: a TAGS-themed commercial for propane gas!
Without any warning, I was hearing "Barney's" voice come through my car
radio, and he was talking to "Floyd," "Andy" and "Gomer" -- all about the
benefits of using propane gas! It was hilarious. Gomer interjected with a
"shazam!" or two, Floyd acted flustered with his "ohhhhh....ohhhh that's
nice," and Barney dominated the conversation with his all-knowing tone. All
of the voices and mannerisms were dead-on accurate.
I wondered if this is an "Okie thing," or if you have heard a similar
version where you live. Let me know if you've heard this commercial before!
