Noticed in last night's episode where the lady
druggist wouldn't sell Emma her placebos, that when
Andy and Barney were researching previous court cases,
they found the one about the guy buying arsenic. I
could have sworn Barney says that the guy purchased
the arsenic on Tuesday, May 22. Andy says "We gottem
now", then Barney says "...he was buried on Friday,
May 26th". Did I hear this wrong, or was it a
blooper? May 26th would have been Saturday. Maybe he
said 25th, but I listened twice, and could have sworn
he said the 26th. Glad to see TVLand is finally
airing the early episodes again, though I agree with
several previous posts about enjoying Warren, one of
the few bright spots of the colorized years.

Subject: theme song poll
we ought to let it work itself out, not stuff the ballot box.
I mean, who wants to walk off with a fixed theme song contest?

Barney, bless his heart, was way off, or maybe he was thinking statehood
(1959) but meant territory (1867). Try this link to read about Alaska

My favorite episode will always be Opie the Birdman where Opie has to learn
a hard lesson about life, actions, and consequences. I pray that parents
will muster the strength it takes to allow their children to "feel" the
consequences of their actions.
Praise God for giving us all those fine people responsible for these
wonderful stories. As Andy Griffith said, "There is no Mayberry, because
all problems on the show were solved in 30 minutes," (really only 22
minutes). But these episodes give us hope that we can do the right thing
and that, hard as it is, we and others after us will benefit from our effort
to set an example of goodness and rightness.
My husband Bob and I have been faithful watchers since 1984 when we began
recording them from TBS and WGN. We now have 36 6-hour tapes of episodes,
many of the same episodes recorded before and after Ted Turner digitally
remastered some. We set the timer on our TV and go to sleep listening to a
tape each night. We call it "programming ourselves for goodness." Now we
are introducing our 1-year-old granddaughter Cheyenne to them. What a treat
for all of us!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

>What is significant about the brag, "that's the first time I ever kissed a
>doctor/" >(who said it., when?)
>The significance of it struck me the other night when I saw the
episode. Those are the last words spoken in TAGS, spoken by Goober.
Don Good<<
Very Good Don (no pun intended, that's absolutely correct)
There are also some other last words that I think are significant (but I
don't have them written down). Andy has a statement at the end of the
"Mayberry RFD" episode (which is TAGS episode 241,and the name given to the
spin-off show). As they are in the Community meeting, accepting Mario and
his family into the community, Andy says something that appears to be meant
as sort of a series epilogue. This show was the "last filmed" as opposed to
"a Girl for Goober" which was #249 the last aired. Also in "Return to
Mayberry" his last words at the end seem sort of reflective of the Mayberry
state of mind.
----
In a recent discussion about when Barney and Thelma Lou met, I
believe someone said something like "or did the writers goof?" I think we
need to remember that during this era, they did not have VCRs, reruns etc.
On the credits sometimes you see a person in charge of "consistency", but
that has been explained to be consistency within an episode. So when they
go from Soundstage, to outdoors, the actors must have on the same clothes
etc. We know from Barney's recitation of the preamble, that even things
like hair being combed varies from camera angle to camera angle, because
they did them one at a time.
I think what often happened was they would insert a little fact as
sort of a joke..like Barney being Andy's cousin, but then later on ignore
that bit of trivia, or even perhaps a different writer not even know that it
had been stated. So that's why we see things that appear to be
inconsistent..such as Gomer's mechanical ability, Barney's singing ability,
where people are from, whether they were in school together or not, etc.
