Dan you are so right, us Southerners do love us some ice tea. I remember Clara
saying she and Aunt Bee were having some sweet tea and spicy talk. Also in the
episode with Aunt Bee's prize winning rose, Andy was bringing what looked like
glasses of tea to Clara and Aunt Bee sitting on the porch.
Did we see the $50.00 Opie found, and returned?
I was wondering if Ed of Ed's Refrigeration Serving Mt. Pilot, Mayberry, & The
Surrounding Area is "the man" that Andy kept telling Aunt Bee to call? Of
course Aunt Bee didn't call him "the man" she referred to him as "the robber",
sorry Ed.

No I can't remember Gome and Floyd together except for that one.
However, I did notice Mr. Schwamp in the background behind Aunt Bee
right when the Hooty Hoot was happening (a bit late)
He was his usual talkative self (not)
I imagine he could have given those pantomime lessons in how to enter a
room to Ernest T. as well as Barney did

One time on TV Land they mentioned that this episode is the only one where
Floyd and Gomer were seen in the same place. Surely Gomer got his hair cut by
Floyd, and Floyd bought his gasoline from Wally's. Those must have been some
more of those unseen scenes.
I like the seen scene of Gomer coming up behind Andy and Helen and saying,
"Hoot, hoot".

I believe "The Rumor" is the only time that Floyd and Gomer were seen
together. Read that or heard it somewhere.
What was Floyd's last appearance? He was failing later on. Can't remember
what his last show was.

I can't say for certain, but it probably had something to do with
sponsorship. Perhaps there was another show on in the 1960s which was
sponsored by Lipton, or some other tea company. TAGS was sponsored by
General Foods, makers of Sanka (and many other fine products), so that's
probably why we always see plenty of folks drinking coffee in Mayberry.
Tea is rarely mentioned in Mayberry. Two times that come to mind are
Clara's mention of sharing "a little sweet tea and spicy talk" with Aunt
Bee, and the time Oliver Gossage declined liquid refreshment (see subject
line). In both of these cases, the tea was probably hot, not the iced tea
one normally associates with The South.

In the Miracle Salve episode recently, I saw a scene for the first time when
Gome and Barn are in the hallway fixing to go into the company office - enjoyed
that.
I believe Andy brought out iced tea to Aunt Bee and Clara (or was fixing to) in
Only a Rose when they were sitting on the porch at the very end of the episode.
I figure they drank iced tea at lots of meals and reserved soda for special
occasions (or was that the Morrison sisters' elixir?)!

In the episode, where Aunt Bee, Barney, and whomever else changes Andy's room
(when everyone thought they were getting married) to a more feminine look (the
canopy, etc.); was it left like this or did they have to change it back to the
way it was? You know, they were changing it because it should be designed for
a lady. Any comments?

Hi All:
I'm behind on my digest and may have missed it if it was posted but I was just
wondering if anyone knew how Don Knotts was doing? I know he had to cancel the
visit to the festival in his honor because of health problems but haven't heard
a word about him since. Also, could someone email me and give me some
suggestions. Due to recent health problems I'm trying to sell some stuff to
raise some money. I don't want to but I've decided to try and sell my Don
Knotts autograph and two sets of the first series of TAGS Pacific Trading cards
but I have no idea what to start them at on eBay. Note: Don Knotts signed my
dinner ticket at Bob Scheib's Mayberry Squad Rendezvous in 1996, so it's not on
a picture. At that time I thought it would be something more unusual and or a
one of a kind thing and it might be worth more. Any guidance on price anyone
can offer me can send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But I really hope that someone
posts an update on Don Knotts health condition. He is a terrific actor. Thanks
Cathy a.k.a. Skippy, one of Mayberry's fun girls in Ohio.

Not only that, but at the end of the show, Barney gets what's very likely the
most withering telling-off from Gomer that anyone ever got on either "The
Andy Griffith Show" or "Gomer Pyle, USMC." It slays me every time I hear it.

Hello, True Blue and Orange Mayberry Fans,
Do you know how I can tell right off the bat if I'm talking
to a person who is really absorbed in TAGS from a person who just thinks he/she
is interested in our show? The way
he describes Aunt Bee. Now everyone will know Andy is solid and stable; and
everyone knows Barney is a little too
power hungry and just about the opposite of Andy in every way, although
Barney's heart is always in the right place.
But if a persons says Aunt Bee is always soooo
sweet, right away I know I'm talking to someone who knows
beans about TAGS. Aunt Bee is a lot of things, and many of
them are positive. She is generous, always opening her home
to people. She is concerned about her family (though I have to admit
that after the first episode, hugs and kisses for Opie were
rarely seen given). And her moral principles are never in doubt. She is often
a kindly lady. But, she is not what I
would call sweet. Aunt Bee has to much spit and vinegar
for that. We often see her angry or upset over something she perceives as
wrong, and a truly sweet person would try to get her point across without
getting ANY feathers ruffled. Some people are blessed with the ability to say
almost anything in an easy way, sweet way. Aunt Bee was not one of them.
Now, understand, I'm not putting her down. Merely pointing
out a personality trait that is obvious to us "trained noticers." Barney was
never as brave as Andy. It didn't make us love him any less. (It may have made
us appreciate
him even more. Couldn't we see more Barney in ourselves sometimes than Andy?)
We are all imperfect. And that makes us all loveable losers. Even the
not-so-sweet, but often-nice Aunt Bee.
Even Lydia, My father hates his job.

You are absolutely correct, sir, as concerning tea on TAGS:
Tea is never (I can't recall it, at least) mentiioned on TAGS. And as a
southern person, I can tell you
tea is always talked about, served, and drunk. A lot.
I can't think of a function in the South where tea would not be in abundance.
And it is usually sweet--real sweet.
I'm something of a weird person because if I drink tea, and
I prefer soft drinks, I like it unsweetened. My in-laws considered me very,
very strange. But they got used to me and even allowed me to give them three
grandchildren!
Another kindda strange about TAGS not living up to things
peculiar to the South, neither Andy nor Aunt Bee
ever warned Opie
about watching out for snakes. Something all southern parents do every waking
moment during the hot months down here. At least mine did and I have kept up
the practice.
Just nit-picking. Sittin' here nit-picking. Sipping unsweet tea (to the
ever-lasting shame of my dear in-laws, God
bless them),
yelling at the kids to watch out for snakes (Mother would be so proud), and
nit-picking.
Lydia, I don't mind nit-picking, but I hate meaningful employment.
