I recently saw an episode of "The Rifleman".It featured a very young Denver Pyle(Briscoe) without any facial hair.Like I said,a much younger Briscoe,but the unique voice was his early beginning trademark. Also saw an episode of "The Waltons".It featured Frank Ferguson(Charlie Foley)Mr.Foley was sporting a full beard....I mean a really big beard.Again,his smooth,soothing trademark voice came through. I enjoy watching watching Ellen Corby on "The Waltons".She had a way too short stint on TAGS.She was a hustler on TAGS.On the other side of the coin,she portrays the family matriarch as Grandma Walton.She is a no nonsense,strait laced gob of glue that holds the family together. I find myself watching The Waltons now as much as I do TAGS.She is the quintessential actress, talented,but down to earth.Her stroke could not hold back her dedication and enthusiam to please her ever grateful audience. On the whole,I think the TAGS actors/actresses could crossover and and deliver any role assigned to them,no matter what the script was composed of. Dewey in NC Be who you are and say what you mean,because those that matter...don't mind...and those that mind...don't matter. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
