Today I enjoyed once again the TAGS episode, "The Shoplifters," where
Weaver's Department Store is being robbed blind. Barney is especially funny
in this episode as a bumbling investigator at night and a store manikin
during the day. When the criminal, a sweet little old lady, is caught at
story's end, Andy tells of his initial suspicion when he bumped into her and
she clanked: ". . . And little old ladies should never clank . . . ."
Barney quickly finishes Andy's statement,
". . . Unless they're going to the Clink!"
We've all heard the term, "clink," as it relates to jail cells, even from
this episode of TAGS. However, I never knew the origin of the term until a
few days ago when the wife and I were exploring Ye Olde London Town,
England, and read of the Clink Prison. Originally part of the old
Winchester Palace, this infamous jail burned down in 1780, but the
underground cells remain with their torture devices and creepy,
claustrophobic atmosphere. Like other terms, sayings, and customs inherited
and retained from old London, the Clink Prison has burned its name for
posterity into our memories as an alternate nickname for a prison. Wonder
if Barney's jump-rope rhymes include "London Bridge is Falling Down?"

Everywhere I went back in the times of Mayberry, you could go into any
fillin' station and gitcher a piece of candy. Sure, Gitcher is a word!! Means
Get
You!! I suppose if Gomer was workin' at Wally's pumpin' gas and changin' erl,
and sellin' soda pops, I betcha he had candy inside in the glass case!!
Man, my knee hurtz! Just rubbed her down with some Ben Gay so my head is
openin' up anyways.
Y'all have a grand day.

I was watching the 2nd season DVD (which are great!) and got a real kick out of
the commercials! Its like seeing bits of the show you've never seen! I'm sure
you like me as an avid Andy fan in that you've seen the shows so many times
that you know them all by heart. So to see something you've never seen before
is incredible!
Anyway, I was wondering - the commercials on the DVDs - do you think they were
shown before the tag of the show, or after the tag and right before the credits?

This has probably already been talked about, but today when I was
watching the episode where Barney is cooking in his room and Andy grabs
the hotplate to move it before Mrs. Mendlebright comes in I didn't see a
cord or that it was plugged in. Good thing Andy wasn't the fire chief,
that was a bad move putting burning chili in the dresser drawer. Mary

Well, as far as the candy goes, Don't forget Gomer and the peppermints. Maybe
Barney got the cashew fudge the same place Gomer got the peppermints. I think
the guy's name was Pearson. Jeff Doege

I was watching ANDY GRIFFITH and everybody on the RETURN TO MAYBERRY movie that
was made in 1986. At the end, it shows the cheerleaders wearing White and
either a Navy Blue or Black outfits. I though MAYBERRY'S colors were Blue and
Orange. Can somebody enlighten me on this matter. Thanks, GARRY

Just thought I would comment that Ralph Malph's dad on Happy Days is none other
than Mayberry's own county clerk Howard Sprauge. Wonder how he got married to
Ralph's mother without asking his mother. Mrs. Sprauge would not have allowed
it.

Re: I'm looking for some of your favorite Aunt Bee Remarks.
As far as things Aunt Bee said, what about when Barney decides Andy and
Helen have gotten away to the justice of the peace in Siler City, called
Goober with something about a license and $25, so they all hurriedly get
over there, and when they realize that it's not about a wedding at all,
Aunt Bee looks at Barney, and yells "Barney!!!!!" I would have hated to
be on the receiving end of that withering look and in Barney's shoes at
that moment.

All this talk on Gomer got me wondering if his show is coming out anytime soon
on DVD. Do any of you trained noticers know? I have heard nothing myself, but
would love to know. Gomer, as someone already said, sure seemed to have a
genuine sense of caring for others, even when he had goofed things up nicely
for himself. He was nice, real nice. Here's to that rain in Missouri! (Ohio
could use some when you folks have had enough!)

Aunt Bee said two things I thought were funny....
1) Oh, you're full of beans....
2) Fibberdigibitt.....(Spelling?)

There used to be Mrs. See's candy stores in the Dallas area. Mrs. See had a
sweet, old fashion look about her kind of like Aunt Bee. It would be cute if
her full name was Bee See.
On the first episode, Aunt Bee says to Opie, "Give me some sugar". There are a
couple of Aunt Bee lines that tickle me, but may be hard to work in. In the
bed jacket episode she tells the Mayor, "Give my best to Andy" even though
she'd just seen him at home. In the episode with Dolly the horse, she
commiserates about Dolly's life of "Work, work, work". Also when she went to
work for Mike and Sam, she tells Andy "I held a live chicken".

If you are going to do an authentic Aunt Bee impression, I think you should
have:
1) A brown paper bag with sandwiches (never been on a trip without one)
2) A jar of kerosene cucumbers (scattered everywhere from Oregon to Nova
Scotia)
