I'd like to see us come up with a list of things that Mayberry has that we
don't have these days; you know, all the positive things we could surely use.
My first observation is: quiet streets on Sundays.

I'm a little suprised that they added "Goober" to the art work and never
chose to use Floyd the barber, who, up to this point (season 5), was a much
more significant character on the show.

Hello Fellow Mayberrians,
Merry Christmas to you all. Allen thank you so much for that wonderful
card. I wish I could do that, it was just beautiful.
You are a bird in this world.

Merry Christmas everyone ! I've been a member of the WBMUTBB for several years
now. I think I have posted once in that time. I usually just sit here, read and
enjoy. Rarely does something comes along powerful enough to motivate me to join
in. This time something has. GREAT CARD ALLAN !!!!!! Thanks. That one made me
cry!

You are sooo right, Daddy when you say that its hard to pinpoint Floyd's
best moment. But you have done a great job mentioning some of his best. I
think that as a whole, "Convicts at Large" is his best work. The fact that
he never seems to realize the seriousness of the whole situation is
hilarious. He treats it all as some sort of big adventure. Sitting on the
couch keeping time with the banana and then springing in the door exclaiming
"We're home!". Great stuff. And "Goober Takes a Car Apart" is one of my
favorite episodes. When Andy says "Floyd, what are you doing up on that
thing?" and Floyd comes across with "Well...I'll tell you Andy, I just might
buy this car". Hilarious. Another of my favorites is the whole scene with
Neil Bentley where Floyd is fascinated with his suit. What an actor.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas.

Mt. Pilot is supposed to be bigger than Mayberry.
Pilot Mountain, N.C. pop. 1274 (roughly the population of Mayberry?)
they must have made Mt. Pilot bigger on the show.

>>>Did Mayberry even have a chamber of commerce?<<<
Dixon, you're an old pro, so you probably remember that the Chamber of
Commerce sponsored the Dance that Gomer and Mary Grace never made it to.

As far as what we call this, never thought about Wub Tub etc. Most of
us just call it the Digest, and understand that those letters stand for
the name of the chapter..Who's been Messin' Up the Bulletin Board

Fantastic Card Allan--Nice touch with Jean Carson and Howard Morris.
Really classy.
________________
I guess I'm biased because I have my own Schwamp theory..but for Beaver
to be Schwamp?? his show would have had to been 40 or so years before
TAGS..which we know it was relatively the same era. But that's is a
cute comparison and some good observations.

Work, Work, Work...Haven't time to follow things closely, but I need some help
with an update on the TAGS Fourth Season DVD set. First, how fast is Weaver's
on delivery?? Secondly, I note the Weaver's site indicates laugh tracks
missing on four episodes. My question is this: are their other problems with
the set? I like to read the reviews and turned to the Amazon site, only to
find that they don't even list the Fourth Season--nothing--it's invisible. I
even called customer service and they have no explanation. The fourth season
just isn't there. I've NEVER known Amazon to pull a complete listing like
this. It always revers to "out of stock," or "temporarily unavailable," or
"not yet released," etc. SOOOO, I'm wondering if the company pulled it for
some reason other than laugh track omissions. If anyone owns it and has had
problems, I'd appreciate knowing before I order it. Otherwise, I'll go with
Weaver's--No laugh tracks doesn't bother me, but malfunctioning DVDs or other
omissions would be a problem. If anyone can answer the Amazon mystery or
confirm that the set is not having major problems, I'd be much obliged. Maybe
everyone's already discussed this, and I just missed it. Oh, well, this a group
devoted to reruns, so if someon can rerun some information for us, wife Janet
and I would be much obliged!!
And, yes, it's cold and snowy here in northern Missouri!!!! I'd like to get an
order in tomorrow, so if you have the real scoop, feel free to email me right
away! Mark and Janet [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Caught a couple of minutes of Gunsmoke the other day and there was Karl
Swensen (Mr. McBeevee). Would you believe he was playing a Swede? I guess
that's just the actor of the man.

You know, since Barney won't buy a stamp out of those machines over at the
post office, I just can't see him getting money out of that ATM Mr. Meldren
put in over on the corner.

Well Don, your windfall sounds better than mine. However; I actually had a
relative who, in their will, left me an eighth of a share of a gas well in
Arkansas. Last years big check came in at $15.00.
We're waiting on the next check before we plan this years vacation. Don't
get me wrong, I'm not bitter that they left me the eighth of a share, I just
think it's funny. I wish my partners were Ole Barn, Floyd and some of the
boys.
Thinkin' about diversifying in Virginia.
