Just curious how the poem about Christ was included in the last edition of
WBMUTBB. As a Christian, I did appreciate the message it contained, but I
could
not find anything about TAGS in it. Is this Mr. Schwump again??

I think any member of The Waltons would fit right in,
as would Oliver and Lisa Douglas.
Of course, Grandma Walton, aka "Hubcaps" Lesch,
already lives in Mount Pilot, doesn't she?

Subject: More on Schwamp--a Reality Show!!
Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2004 13:31:25 -0400
Ifin' we're going to have a Schwamp day, lets at least spell it right.
According to the books (and I understand one of the authors actually checked
a script) it is spelled with an "a" not a "u", even though it rhymes with
stump.
I wonder if that hairpiece was made from dyed squirrel fur? That's what
Clara Edwards said, anyway.
I think if there is ever going to be another Schwamp, we'd better have a
reality show called "The Understudy" I've been talking to Mark Burnett
about this and he's thinkin' about it with his bucket.
Here's how "The Understudy" would work.
We could get all those look-alike Schwamp want-a-be's to compete against
each other. They would all have to be adorned in suits and toupees. No one
with much real hair would be allowed to compete. The setting would be
Mayberry of course.
.
They could perform various tasks like:
--A Root Beer drinking contest at the Lodge (Golden Door of Good Fellowship)
--A Dance Competition (ballroom dancing, the dip etc.) at Mrs. Wiley's
--A Smiling and nodding endurance contest (to see who nods off last) out in
front of the Courthouse on the bench.
--A Party man competition, to see who could get those most partners to dance
with him at the Chamber of Commerce Dance
--A Rock Holding competition (with bigger rocks than Earnest T's rock) in
Andy's front yard.
--A Fifty Yard Dash at the same track as Opie's Boy's Day race..If you lose
your Toupee, you're disqualified.
--A Pie Eating contest in front of Wally's Fillin' Station
--A Bowing competition inside Walker's Drugstore (where there is lineament
handy)
--A fake Hair combing contest in Floyds Barbershop
The ultimate judge, of course, would be Mr. Schwamp himself, but Goober and
Mrs. Wiley would serve as his advisors.
At the end of each episode, all the contestants would come into the
Courthouse and sit in the jury chairs arranged in front of Andy's desk..
Mr. Schwamp would sit in Andy's chair with Goober and Mrs. Wiley at his
side.
Each contestant would look at him and nod and smile. Goober and Mrs. Wiley
would also nod in various degrees of agreement.
Then, dramatically, Schwamp would look at the loser, and shake his head no.
Barney would rush in from the back room, and rip off the hair piece of the
loser and say "YOU'RE BALD"
Then he would escort the loser into one of the cells where they would peer
our forlornly at the other contestants knowing that had failed to become
"The Understudy"
Last one with his toupee still intact is declared "The Understudy"
Man, I can see it now great competition, an intense Mr. Schwamp, Otis
entertaining the losers who are declared Bald with their consolation prize
of a bottle of Rogaine, and a jubilant Understudy smiling and nodding like
they're the champion of the world!

Does anyone live near the bob shieb farm at bellbrook that used to hold the
squad car rendezvous. I'm interested if there is still the wally service
station set still there or around there somewhere.
Hated to see that end :(

Subject: TAGS on DVD!
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
TAGS fans,
I was so excited to hear that TAGS is coming out on
DVD I felt like I needed a picture of me kissing my
wife in Times Square like that old WW2 photo!
As to the price, a lot of it will probably depend on
what they put on it. Mr Ed & Green Acres have been
released with just the episodes for about $21 a
season. Dick Van Dyke is about $50 a season (I have
the first three seasons already and just placed my
order for 4), but is also loaded with extras. I like
extras and hope there will be some, but my main
interest is in the episodes themselves.
The Dick Van Dyke Show may be a good barometer for
what we can expect from a TAGS DVD release. Columbia
House released DVD on VHS several years ago, but it
didn't go over very well, so they only released 10
tapes. The people releasing the DVDs must be getting
a much better response because seasons 3 & 4 have been
released much earlier than previously announced. I
have read that DVDs are much cheaper to manufacture
than tapes, so I think if TAGS fans jump on the first
season, they'll release subsequent seasons in a hurry
to stay on top of the wave. Paramount also released
season sets of Star Trek Next Generation and Deep
Space Nine and only spaced those seasons out over a
few months. Let's hope they do the same with TAGS.
We TAGS fans may not be quite as rabid as those Trek
fans (OK, as "we Trek fans") but I bet we can hold our
own!

Subject: RE: Tags on DVD
Just my opinion, but I don't think we'll ever see the color episodes
come out on DVD. And I enjoy the color episodes as much as anyone.
Just like All In The Family, which has only released the first two
seasons to date, you won't see the seasons after Mike & Gloria left and
when Danielle Brisbois joined the cast. The studios will only sell what
they think will sell well, and while all of us here might buy the color
years, I think most of the general population wouldn't. So let's say
I'm right (and I'm not always!), and only the first few seasons are
released. Then, all of you that have been judiciously taping the
episodes over the years can record the color episodes onto DVD
yourselves to complete your set on DVD. This can be done by purchasing
a DVD recorder (as low as $300 now), or renting one for a week and going
at it. The third option may be that someone like Mike would be good
enough to record to DVD and make them available to us. If you wait a
couple of years when the blue laser DVD recorders are available, you can
put all of the color years on ONE disc.
As I said, it's my opinion that we'll never see all 249 produced on DVD,
but there are other ways to get it done.

Hey Everybody,
Does anybody know anything about Earnest T. I know that his name is
Howard Morris. I would like to know where he is from and what he is doing
now? The reason for my asking is my greatgrandmother was a Morris, but I
am not that nutty. One more question I'd like help with, did he not direct
some of the shows?
Thanks,
Charlotte White

Subject: This Is Your Life, Andy Griffith!
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In 1973, 'This Is Your Life' devoted a show to Andy Griffith. Actors and
others who he had been associated with were featured in the show. Among them
were
Jim Nabors and Ronny Howard. In 1975, there was a 'Happy Days' episode that
contained a 'This Is Your Life, Howard Cunningham.' Ritchie (Ron Howard) was
the
emcee. One of the guests was Howard's grade school teacher, portrayed by Mary
Treen. As we fans of TAGS know, Mary Treen was Rose, the Taylors pre-Bee
housekeeper. It's neat to see Ron standing beside a lady who 15 years prior, he
was about to throw a box of rice at.
