The only dial phone in Mayberry (in Walkers drug store) sounds like what you
might call your mistake. It appears the period they were trying to capture was
pre-dial in Mt. Airy. It would take a major change in central office equipment
to make dial calling possible. Unless you could "ring Sarah" with the
switchhook--making the dial on the phone useless--I can't see how it would
work. Furthermore, those were the days when you rented your phone from the
phone company. Unless it was an "illegal install" (bad, very bad), I think
what you noticed was just a mistake. Or . . . the drugstore, being an
important place, might have been the first place a dial phone would have been
installed, but it wouldn't be workable until the central office equipment was
ready to go. But then the sheriff's office would surely be one of the first
places to get the new equipment in readiness for the cutover to dial. Mistake,
I think.

I too am one of those who just can't get enough of tags. I used to wonder
what happened to some of the props from the show after all of these years.
I was most delighted when my wife gave me a surprise birthday present two
years ago that was a trip to Mr Airey, NC. Being a fellow Tarheel, I guess
it was natural for me to like the show.
During the years of black and white, my father was in the Army and we were
stationed at Fort Sill, OK. I watched the first runs of the show in our
living room on a black and white TV. I always thought it was remarkable as
very few shows at that time reflected life in a small southern town. Over
the years the theme song has always been stuck in my head! Even now, I very
seldom ever let a day go by without watching at leas one show. Now that the
DVD is here, I can do that anytime I want to!
Back to the props on the show. I enjoy the magic of Hollywood, and have
always been fascinated by the sets used in filming TV and Movies. One day
while I was thinking back over the props used on the show, I began to think
about the two signs on the Court House Door. You know them, Sheriff and the
other is Justice of the Peace. Well, I wondered if anyone ever thought to
save them and put them in a museum, and on my birthday visit I was delighted
to see them on display in the museum in Mt Airey. As a matter of fact, I
believe Andy gave them to Emmet Forrest, his hometown friend. Well, that
was nearly as exciting as meeting a member of the cast. I was a real
pleasure to see an artifact from the actual show that I have seen on screen
many times.
Now, I know this sounds like obsession, but now , every time I watch the
show I have to notice them. This brings me to an interesting moment. While
watching the show on DVD, The Manhunt, I couldn't help but notice at one
point when Opie opened the door to leave the Court House, the signs were not
on the door! This was one of the very early episodes, so I guess someone
had forgotten to put a set on the doors used in the soundstage.
Funny what people will think about sometimes isn't it!

Kathy, I reckon I "talk" TAGS too. I usually say "Hidee" instead of Hello and
when some of my family members pull a joke on me I ask them if they think they
are funny and ask them whether they are gonna join the circus and call
themselves "Frick and Frack"! So I reckon you aren't the only one who "speaks
TAGS". I never thought about it much, but I speak TAGS all the time without
planning it ahead of time. I can usually tell when I have spoken in TAGS
because my daughter rolls her eyes at me. She's not one of us :( I'm sorry to
say.

If you've finished your shopping at Weavers and you still feel the need to
spend more money, I am offering free shipping on all DVD orders through
December 24, as well as giving a free surprise gift with each order (don't
ask me what it is, I will only say, "I can't tell ya"). The catch is that
you will have to e-mail me personally to get the discount because if you
purchase them through the website at Bert Millers, it will automatically
charge you the shipping. Anyone interested can e-mail me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for a complete list of available titles, some aren't
even listed on the website.
Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!

I am the one in our family who will repeat lines from my favorite show. I
look at peoples faces to see if they know where I got a phrase.
We have been blessed with a beautiful "Granddaughter". Kensly is 14 mos.
old and ever since she was born I have held her up and told her, "You're the
prettiest baby what ever growed!"
Here loving TAGS!!!
