I'm sure many of you have seen TV Land's behind the scenes program that is currently airing. But in case some of you may have missed it, may I offer this little bit of treasure from our own beloved Betty Lynn. While I was out sick, I hope this wasn't discussed and I just overlooked it. If so, my apologies. Betty Lynn said she never believed Thelma Lou would have married another man so soon after Barney left because Barney was the one love of her life. And so when she had to come back and play in the class reunion show, she simply pretended--in her mind--that Thelma Lou had paid a man to pose as her husband. In some ways this may seem a silly idea, but when you think about it, it does answer the question as to why no one in Mayberry had ever even heard about Thelma Lou getting married. For such a small town and with the people so close, that always did seem odd to me. But then as Mr. Schwamp says, I'm always full of questions. And this makes one of my saddest episodes a lot easier to take. "Do the tears on your pillow bespeak the pain that is in your heart?" Of course, then there's the issue of Thelma Lou's divorce in Mayberry's movie to explain. Well, nothing's perfect.
