>>You see the TV in the Taylor living room in a number of episodes, but they
didn't watch it very often. Chances are they could only get one or two
stations as they were well before cable or satellite dishes.<<
Upon further pondering I think another reason why we don't see the Taylors
watch their television much is that back in those times when life was simpler
and quieter, folks weren't glued to the television for every program one after
another like most of today's society. There was more family and social time
spent. Folks could actually be interactive and entertained without have to be
glued to a wooden box with tubes (which was how the original televisions were
constructed).
The Ricardos had a television and the Cleavers had televisions, which we only
on rare occasion saw it being used.

Opie really did a great job of acting in his very emotional crying scene in
"Opie the Birdman" when he discovered he accidently killed the mother bird with
his slingshot.

Subject: TV Watching
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've seen several references to the fact that although Mayberry was shown
in the 60s, the writers tried to show that small town as somewhat behind
the times. They probably had only a couple channels and at that time in
that rural locale, TV was fairly new and folks didn't leave the TV on all
the time. They were still into visiting, family games and activities and
such. Even now when a household is depicted on TV, the family is rarely
actually watching the tube. Now me, I'm a couch potato and will watch
Mayberry any time it is on!

It was actually in the "Make Room for Daddy" pilot, the part where Frances
Bavier played a woman named Henrietta Thompson. She told Andy her husband had
been buried in a rented suit and the rental company kept charging rent and
remitting bills to her, and threatened to tell everyone in town her husband was
buried in a rented suit.

Did you happen to notice all the TAGS alumni who appeared on TZ? Just off
the top of my head I remember Mr. Tucker from "Man in a Hurry" as the professor
in one of my favorite episodes, "Static" (the one about the antique radio that
plays old radio shows), and Jean Carson (one of the Fun Girls) in "A Most
Unusual Camera." She had an especially big part in that one, possibly the
biggest part she ever had on TV. I believe George Lindsey and Howard McNear
appeared in other eps but I didn't happen to catch them during the marathon.

You know you're a Mayberry fan when...
1. You hear a siren and see flashing lights and expect to see a 1960s Ford
Galaxie.
2. You go to the barber shop and fight the temptation to ask the haircutter
about Calvin Coolidge.
3. You see a broken window and shake your head at Ernest T.
4. You see a jar of pickles at a fair, ribbonless, and shake your head at
Aunt Bee.
5. You go to the drug store and fight the temptation to call the female
pharmacist "Ellie."
6. You have to call a diner for some reason, and are tempted to ask for
Juanita.
7. You're passing a county jail, and you're tempted to see if they only have
two rules and doilies in the cells.
8. You're at the candy counter at the front of Wal-Mart and you start
looking for the Mr. Cookie Bar.
9. You're tuning an AM radio and find yourself looking for Leonard Blush,
and perhaps even wondering if the canary will be on this week.

Subject: rented suit
Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2004 12:33:44 -0600
>>>... just last night I watched the pilot episode of TAGS and don't
remember anything about being buried in a rented suit. What's the gag?
If you watched it on TVLand, then you didn't see the entire episode. As
everyone knows, the versions they show have been cut down by several
minutes, so they can put in more commercials.
Anyway, Andy asks a woman named Henrietta Perkins to come to the courthouse
about a legal matter. (Henrietta is played by Frances Bavier -- in the
pilot episode, there was no Aunt Bee. Andy tells Danny that his "Aunt Lucy"
does the cooking and cleaning.) Anyway, Andy asks Henrietta why she hasn't
paid her taxes for the past two years. She says she doesn't have the money,
because when her husband died two years ago, she rented a suit for his
funeral but forgot to tell the undertaker that she had to return it. So,
ever since then she's been paying 50 cents a day rent for the suit.
Naturally, Andy resolves the issue using his special blend of people skills
and down-home wisdom.
>>>-How Ernest T. keeps breaking out of that cell...Perhaps Ernest T. picked
the lock.
TVLand probably cut that out too. In the epilogue, Barney searches the cell
and finds an old bent fork, and deduces that Ernest T. had been using it to
pick the lock. To prove his point, he locks himself and Andy in the cell
and attempts to unlock the door using the fork -- with predictable results.

"I just noticed that Opie was crying in the very first episode, when Dickie,
his bird, flew away. I was wondering if Opie ever cried in any other episodes?
I can't remember ever seeing Opie cry."
He cried his eyes out in "Opie the Birdman" after he killed the momma bird. He
came close in "Mr. McBeevee" when he asked his Pa if he believed him.
That's the actor of the man.

The name of the place is MANTEO....man-t-o...instead of Mateo. It is on
Roanoke Island, where The Lost Colony drama takes place every year and in which
Andy had a starring roll when he was younger.
And, I would hope everyone would allow Andy and Cindy to have the privacy
they deserve and request, and not drive by taking photos just to have one of
his
home. privacy is very valuable and we all like ours, so let them have theirs!!

Hello everybody!
Thanks for all your responses to my question about Andy having a tv in his
house. I should have figured Shep and Dave was a tv and not a radio show, as
Gomer, Opie, Andy and Aunt Bea were watching visual action instead of just
listening. I have one more question to you guys and I won't pester ya again
for a while, he he! Its about Howard....does anybody know where "Howard's New
Life" was filmed? It had to have been on the California coast, but I think it
was a beautiful spot. They even added a little straw hut for Howard to live
in! I don't have but a couple of episodes with him in them, but I believe
this one to be his best.

Subject: Questions /crying
From: Glenn D Eldridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have two questions about the episode "The Loaded Goat".
1. Opie was riding his bike on the sidewalk (when he came up to tell Andy
and Barney where he had seen the goat.) Why didn't he get in trouble for
riding his bike on the sidewalk? There was twice when other boys were
told not to ride on the sidewalk. (What if everybody road their bikes on
the sidewalk?! There wouldn't be room to walk!)
2. Mayor Stoner was accused of having the underpass built so more traffic
would come by his brother's gas station. Is his brother Wally?
About Opie crying. He pretended to cry in "Opie and the Spoiled Kid".
Guess that doesn't really count.
Thanks!
Amy

Hello Friends,

On my blog I am going through the episodes I watch and journal my reflections.
Let me know if your are a TAGS fan with a weblog. It would be neat to

Here is my blog section about Mayberry. Leave a comment there and say "hey".
Blessings,
joshua
