To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fellow Mayberrians;
I was in line Christmas shopping and as most retailers market their products
at Point of Sale near the cashiers I was looking at a shelf full of dvd's
while waiting to cash out and golllllleeeee, what did I see but a TAGS dvd.
It is produced by CATCOM, contains 4 episodes. The episodes listed on the
dvd are different from the original titles. "Barney's First Car" is called
"Barney Buys a Car." The intro music is not the same but interestingly the
scene of Andy and Opie walking down the path to the lake is shot from a
different angle. It starts out with a direct shot looking at them as they
walk towards the lake, then it pans to the side at the usual angle seen.
After Opie tosses the rock into the lake the camera does a close up of the
rock hitting the water. Now, here's the best part. Not only is the picture
crystal clear but they also have 8 classic commercials. I haven't watched
the whole dvd yet but the one commercial I did see was the one for "Secret
Sam" the briefcase with all the spy stuff in it.
I would highly recommend avid TAGS fans look for this dvd. The one I bought
was # 2 so there are probably others. The store only had the one edition.
And, as the clincher it only cost $6.99.
I'm sick as a dog but having the time of my life.

What with the fair and pickle contest coming up, I happened to be in Foley's
yesterday when Clara Edwards came in and was talking real low to Mr. Foley.
I couldn't hear what she said, but I did notice Mr. Foley sit a can of
allspice on the counter. So I think we can safely say that Clara's secret
ingredient in her award-winning pickles is allspice. This year will be the
12th year she's won the pickles so I think last summer's surprise win by
Aunt Bee in the roses was quite appropriate.

I believe I know what happened to Ed Sawyer. The answer can be supplied from
the episode. First, they thought he was an alien from outer space. Well,
turns out he actually was an alien. Second, he said he was going to go to the
moon someday. Well, looks like that is what he did. And since we never see or
hear from Lucy Matthews, perhaps we can deduce that he zapped her up to the
moon with him. He probably needed to buy the gas station to get enough fuel
for the long trip back to the moon.....Isn't this a "reasonable hypothesis of
the modis operandi" of Ed Sawyer?

>>>Here's a question on which hopefully someone can offer an answer or
opinion: Are actors Ken Berry (Sam Jones) and Jack Burns (Warren Ferguson)
involved in any TAGS tours or reunions?
I understand that Jack Burns is still bitter about the way he was "let go"
from the cast, and that he doesn't want to be associated with Mayberry (that
poor, sorrowful fellow). I have never had the pleasure of meeting Ken Berry
at a Mayberry event (I don't believe he's ever appeared at one), but as far
as I know he doesn't hold a grudge or anything, it's just that he stays
pretty busy with other projects.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In yesterday's UPN episode of TAGS, which air's at
noon locally, Floyd and Al are at O'Malley's cabin.
Floyd and Al are the principal characters during this
entire episode. Floyd is hilarious eating that banana!
I tape and re-watch it just to focus on Floyd.
Question: How many episodes did Floyd, Howard McNear
appear in as the principal character?

Last night I watched the episode were Malcom Merriweather comes into
town to stay and becomes a crossing guard. In the scene where he is hit
by the car I noticed cardboard cutouts of people in the background. Was
this used commonly in the show? Who can name more scenes where
this was done? Thanks!

This message is for everyone but especially for those named "MIKE". I
currently have a copy of Jim Clarks great hardback book MAYBERRY MEMORIES on
Ebay and it's been signed by 26 different TAGS alumni. The reason that this
message is directed at the MIKES of this group is because many of the
autographs have been inscribed to me, Mike! I have 3 of the Mayberry books
that I've collected autographs in and I've decided to thin out my collection.
It would make a great Christmas gift! Here's the web address:

Subject: Found in a Christmas Card
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 09:21:46 -0500
Found among a stack of Christmas Cards, tucked in a box of decorations of a
certain retired Sheriff , there is a faded handwritten letter. (wink wink)
Hello Andy and Helen,
How are things for Mayberry's favorite retired couple? Is that new house
out on Myers Lake staying warm enough for you? Getting in any trouble with
the law? How is Leon doing as Sheriff anyway? I heard the prisoners just
get peanut butter sandwiches and water, ha ha.
Well, retirement is good for some folks, and I hope that you enjoy it, but
for some of us, being a law man is just in our blood. I probably won't put
down the ole Roscoe until they lay it beside me in a coffin.
I'm still here at the Mayfair Mall in Raleigh, Head Security Officer, (HSO)
Corridor D, Afternoon shift (12 to 5 ). It's a jungle I tell ya. This mall
is the playground of the lawless, disrespectful, hoodlums of today's
society, but I'm up to it. Got a gun, a badge, those cat-like instincts that
have helped me survive the deadly game for 33 and a half years, and of
course the desire to wipe out crime wherever it exists.
My day starts out at about 11. I get here early, you taught me that,
always great to get an early start to get a jump on your crime element. I
go to my office...well I used to have an office, but now they turned it into
a Shoe Repair and Engraving Shop. I just have a locker where I keep my
fingerprint kit, crime reports, ammo and foot powder. I go by the mall
office and pick up the latest Incident Reports. (That's what we call our
list of lawbreakers) Then I go to what is now my office, the corner table
at a coffee shop called Barnies!. Can you believe that, my own coffee shop
Ha Ha.
Thel fixes me a nice lunch that I bring from home, a Cheese Sandwich with
garnish or something like that. I get a cup of coffee (half-price) and go
over the reports. My cousin Virgil usually stops by. He is the head of
trash and sweeping, Corridor B and C. If we have time, we go over to the
arcade for a game of skeeball, but they want 50 cents a game now, for eight
balls.
Then, about ten till I take my beat. Some of the stores have their own
clothes plains-man doing security but I'm the only Uni, (Uniformed officer)
south of the big fountain in the middle. Sixty-eight stores, 12 Kiosks, 4
restrooms and literally thousands of people are all under my constant
surveillance. I don't know why it is, but your most criminal minds seem
hang around Corridor D from 12 to 5 in the afternoon. Boy oh boy the
stories I could tell you...shoplifters, change-quick artists, bad check
forgers and litterbugs, just to name a few. (We don't have to worry about
J-walking though, that is allowed in a mall.)
I have to keep my eyes moving at all times. From Ayers Department Store to
Victoria's Secret, I'm the only law in the mall. Oh, by the way, this
Victoria's place is, um lady's lang-gerae. And with the pictures they've
got in the window, let me tell you, it ain't no secret, (Ha Ha) if you know
what I mean, what they're sellin. Whoo-we, nothing like that was even seen
in Mayberry. The ladies auxiliary would have shut it down in a hurry.
The big city is full of wonders. They have shops that just sell candles,
some that just sell swim suits, and a barber shop with 8 chairs! Boy, would
Floyd be amazed.
Anyway, I could be doing anything from doing a stake-out at Tubby's Candy
Shop (to catch kids pilfering unauthorized samples) to assisting the big
boys in the department stores. In the business world, we call it loss
prevention. This one fella calls me in about once a week to pose as a
mannequin in a sporting goods store. Remember Weavers? The little old lady
I nabbed there? Same thing here, though we haven't caught anybody yet. We
must be getting close those, because all the employees come over and have a
look at me whenever I'm there undercover as a mannequin. They always want
me to wear something different, I guess to keep the crooks guessing.
I had kind of a funny thing happen last month. I spotted a guy hopping
over a jewelry counter from about 60 feet away. I could see that the gate
was just open a little bit and it wasn't time for them to open yet. I ran
over to the store, rolled over the counter, caught the guy and drug him out
to the corridor and cuffed him. As the crowd gathered around, I got on my
radio and called HQ, (the mall office) The little girl there called the
city police (These City Cops are always in their squad cars somewheres.
They just don't have the experienced law man's patience and discipline to
work a foot patrol). Well before they got there, the Mall Manager came
over and told me that I just nabbed the Jewelry Store Manager going back to
his office for his keys. But you never know Ang, you just never know!
Everybody makes a mistake now and then. They knew I was workin hard so they
gave me a week off.
Thel picks me up about 5:15 and we go to a little Diner for the daily
special. Then we go home watch a little T-V and I spend some time in my
den, reading up on the latest law enforcement news and she knits things for
the people at the nursing home where Otis is.
Well you know I ain't much of a writer, but I put together this little verse
for you.
When the holidays come you think of friends
And all the good times that brought you grins
Whether their near, or whether they is far
You can always go for a visit in a car
We may not send lavish gifts in the mail
But we have shared many good stories to tell
Have a great Christmas season that is free of many strifes
If you have a free day, come to Raleigh and visit the Fifes
All the Best, Merry Christmas, Barn and Thel

Watching "Andy Saves Gomer," I noticed that Andy uses his finger to open
Barney's letter to read to Floyd and Opie. However, when he takes it to
Wally's to show to Gomer, the envelope he pulls from his shirt pocket does not
have the rough edge it did in the Courthouse. Please don't ask why I noticed
that, but I did!
