I received my 3rd season DVDs this week from Weavers and have really
been enjoying them. I noticed in The Loaded Goat episode that Andy and
Barney said nothing to Opie about riding his bicycle on the sidewalk but
in Opie and the Spoiled Kid it was a serious offense, the law. Andy is
usually good about having Opie obey all rules but he slipped that time.
Unless it only became a law later. Mary Grace in Georgia

Of course Parley Baer wore civvies all the time when he was the wacky next
door neighbor on "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet." Perhaps it's because
they didn't want viewers to confuse Mayor Stoner with some of his more
sympathetic characters, like Ozzie's neighbor, and perhaps it was part of his
character
to be such a "stuffed shirt" he'd wear a suit to a fishing trip.

Yeah! Me too, not only that but she also seemed to me to be the most
passionate of all of Andy's girlfriends.

Andy was waxing nostalgic about the ice man that used to come around. He
said the kids used to run after the wagon and jump up on it and steal
little bits of ice that always had some sawdust on it. He said, "You
know, a lot has gone out of life since those days." To which Aunt Bee
said, "Uh huh, typhoid!"

Hello All,
What do we know about the possibility that Paramount will release TAGS
seasons beyond the first four? Is Season 5 going to go to DVD?

In several episodes several references to police being "screws" were made. I
believe Barney called Andy a "screw" when Barney locked him self in jail and
resigned. Also some prisoners used the term "screws" when saying they would do
a shakedown. I never quite knew where this term came from. However, while
reading an English novel, I came across the explanation. According to the
British mystery writer Marion Chesney it originated this way.
"In Pentonville Prison in 1840, prisoners were supposed to turn a crank on a
machine. If the prisoner was to be punished further, the screw was tightened,
and so that was how prison warders came to be known as screws."
Just thought I would share this, but usually I don't have time to sit around
and write about trivial trivialities.

Those streets are also mentioned in the last black and white episode, with
Jerry Van Dyke. When Andy is coerced into giving him a job as a deputy, they
are standing outside the courthouse, Andy assigns him the duty of a school
crossinig guard and tells Jerry to go over to the corner of Haymore and
Rockford. No one of my non-TAGS friends/family believe me when I tell that
tale......I just shake my head and tell them how sorry I am they are nothing
but a bunch of interlopers. Isn't it sad there are so many non-TAGS folks in
this world???? I also end my convesations with "learn to love it!" .....
How man other folks have Mayberry furnishings? I just noticed recently on
Barney, the Realtor, that in the final scene where Andy and Aunt Bee are
checking out the Williams' home and they call Barney to tell him they both
have decided to stay in their own homes - the table the phone is on is
exactly like a table I have. Of course since it's black and white I can't
tell what wood it is but mine is golden oak.
Someone asked about old milk bottles.....we used to have milk delivery when
I was a kid......the tops were paper with a lip so you could pull it out.
Usually the name of the company (like Borden's) was imprinted in the top.
Usually the first person up in the morning (delivery was twice a week) would
bring them in and put one in the freezer so it would be ice cold by
breakfast time.
Count em............16 days to Mayberry!

In all honesty, I'm attracted to Mary Alice Carter's friend, Iris (Joy
Ellison). That's not to say Morgan Brittany isn't hard to like. Iris was cute!
Plus, she cared about Opie's feelings when Mary Alice was going to dump him
for
Fred Simpson. She had a bigger role in the 'Gomer Pyle USMC' episode "Love
Finds Gomer Pyle." Now mind you, I would only date Iris if I were her age. I
was barely walking when 'Opie's First Love' originally aired in 1967, so she
would have had to PICK me up for a date.
Joy is pretty in real life today. She was my favorite guest at Judge Joel
Laird's Mayberry show in October 2000.
