Picking a favorite episode of TAGS is almost as hard as picking a favorite song, or a favorite child. I found 4 different polls and combined the results of each (1) a poll of TAGSRWC members several years ago, (2) a 40th reunion poll that I believe was conducted by TV Land (3) a poll of TAGS cast members - this was also for a TV Land special and (4) the current ongoing on-line poll at mayberry.com Of these 4 polls there were 9 different episodes mentioned in the top 10 for more than one poll. In each poll, I gave the #1 episode 10 points, the #2 episode 9 points, etc. Here are the results: #9 The Christmas Story (4 points total) #8 Barney's First Car (6 points total) #7 Opie's Charity (7 points) #6 Mr. McBeevee (15 points and mentioned in 2 different polls) #5 Convicts At Large (15 points and mentioned in 3 different polls - I used this as the tiebreaker with Mr. McBeevee) #4 Barney's Sidecar (18 points) #3 Man In A Hurry (29 points)
And now (Drum Roll) the winners - a tie for first place - both mentioned in all 4 polls and both with 30 total points - "The Pickle Story" and "Opie the Birdman" _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
