The Elvis movie that Howard McNear was in is "Follow That
Dream". He played a bank employee who acted a lot like
Floyd. Denver Pyle (Briscoe Darling) was in a Twilight Zone
episode. It was the one with the motorcycle gang that was
actually aliens from outer space. Hey,it could happen!

One of the things I'm enjoying about the new DVDs is seeing all the uncut
footage. Some of the footage was cut by network TV editors, and that was often
different from what was cut by TVLand editors. I can understand MOST of the
time, why certain footage was cut. But seeing it all pieced back together
again, I think the unseen footage slows time down and puts you back on the
front porch in Mayberry USA ( with an apple peel.)
I know we're "done and gone" about the Mayberry colors, but wouldn't it be a
cute craft project to get a box of crayons, peel the wrappers off of them, and
make your own Colors of Mayberry set? I'm sure it couldn't be too hard to do
something nice on the old puter. (If Weaver's offered them, I'd buy 'em!)

I just watched the Christmas episode on my DVD set. It was such a treat, since
I hadn't seen that episode in years and years. I noticed a little mistake
during the scene where Andy and Barney are opening Christmas cards at Andy's
desk. Andy opens a card, commenting on how pretty it is. I think it is the
one from the Eubacher (sp.?) brothers. Then Barney opens his card from Hilda
Mae. When he first opens it, the card has the same picture as the one Andy
opened. But when the camera cuts to a different angle, the card he's holding
now has a different picture on the front! I guess this inconsistency is in the
same category as the difference in Barney's mussed-up hair when he recites the
preamble to the Constitution and the difference in Otis's stained shirt when
Barney throws a tomato at him.

We've discussed before the fact that Andy never wore a wrist watch. He
always had a pocket watch (sans chain and fob). Even when Thomas A. Moody
lifted everybody's watch on the porch of the hotel, when Andy was looking
for his watch, he was checking his pockets, not looking at his wrist.
Anyway, my sturdy Accutron is in the shop for the first time in 20 years and
with a watch that reliable, I don't have any spares
around..............except for a pocketwatch I bought off eBay a couple of
years ago just on a lark. So for the past week, I've been carrying my
pocketwatch and every time I check the time, it makes me feel like
Andy............and it's a good feeling.

I set aside all of Sunday to watch my DVD's of TAGS. I just love them!! So
many things that I've noticed on DVD that I would not have caught on tape --
thanks to the zoom feature on my DVD player.
Here's something I noticed: In the "Stranger in Town" episode, the calendar
in Floyd's barbershop has the month with the first being on a Saturday.
Then, in the courthouse, the first is on a Tuesday. It gives watching TAGS
a whole new meaning to catch these little "technicalities".

Interesting that the New Your Times made it all the way to Hollywood.

In their most recent Hollywood Auction catalog,
Profiles in History is offering what they say is an
authentic Don Knotts Barney Fife Deputy Shirt!
(Estimated sale price: $10,000 - $15,000.)
The auction ends December 10. Anyone ready to step
up and pay the price? (A great Christmas gift
for the TAGS fan that has everything.)
You can go to their site and download the entire
catalog and I've also posted a photo of the shirt
on my web page at:

I was right! I clutch at trivia, but I knew this one. I remembered him in
Blue Hawaii, but checked IMDB before sending. That site also lists Fun in
Alcapulco and Follow That Dream. Check Howard McNear at www.imdb.com. I
hadn't called him up before. From the list of TV credits, I don't think there
exists a TV series that he didn't appear in some episode. Even Dragnet. I'm
impressed. And he was a barber on Leave It to Beaver. Wow!

In Jim Clark and Ken Beck's book there is an entire chapter dedicated to
inconsistencies and bloopers. For example Aunt Bee wears a particular green
dress in one episode and later in another episode - where she takes the part
time job at the printers - she splurges and buys herself a new dress - guess
what dress it is?
A quick tally of the prices on the Hawthorne pieces at Weaver's tells me I
have about $1200 worth in my Hawthorne collectibles. Uuuueee that's a mess
of em!
I can't give a critique on the new DVD as I'm waiting for Santy to deliver
mine down the chimney, but I am already planning my holiday week.....and
WAHOO! my employer is closed for nine days so it'll be a TAGS WATCHING week
in the chicken coop......my DVD player is all keyed up!

The DVD's are GREAT! I took mine to the mountains of North Carolina for
Thanksgiving and watched the first 2 while there. Had a very Mayberry

them in order and uncut adds soooo much. If you haven't gotten yours yet,

I have an Earle Hagen hardback book that he signed "to Randy" that I will

couldn't attend Mayberry Days, not knowing that he already had one. So, if

I always thought Andy was saying, "That's the time", not "that's a
time." Oh, well, whichever it was, I always thought it was a cute saying
and even though I had never heard the phrase before, nor since, it's
amazing how we "get" just what he means when he says it.

I think it's kind of sacreligious to use the TAGS theme to a Food Lion
commercial. I'm sure Earle Hagen didn't want it to serve that purpose. After
all,
it's called 'The Fishin' Hole' in honor of the opening filmed credits to set
the
tone of the show, not a grocery store chain's needs. ABC's 'PrimeTime Live'
uncovered some funky deli food handling practices by Food Lion over ten years
ago, (fish may have been included).
Opie quit that grocery store job anyway in 'Opie's Job'. Even though it was
in sympathy to help Billy's family with bills, he still probably didn't like
it. Floyd even said "Who'd want to work in a grocery store anyway? Too many
fruit flies!"
