Keep watching for "Gracie Gives a Baby Shower Shower For Virginia Beasley." The postman's daughter is played by Betty Lynn.
If AntennaTV remains on its current schedule, that episode from October 1954 should air sometime in mid-February. Brent -----Original Message----- From: "L. Gillum" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Mayberry Sighting I am recovering from a very painful shoulder repair surgery (had to go to the bigger doctors in Mt. Pilot for this one), and am restricted to sleep in my recliner chair for awhile. This has provided opportunity to catch some late-night TV shows that I didn't even know were available now. One of these OLD favorites has been THE GEORGE BURNS & GRACIE ALLEN SHOW from 1950-1958. Two nights ago I was surprised and happy to find the show's guest star to be none other than Howard McNear (Floyd the Barber). It was definitely a younger version of Howard, but his characteristic mannerisms were quickly apparent. I must confess that it took a moment to make the absolute identification, for I had never seen him at this young age. To alleviate any doubts, the rolling credits at show's end confirmed, "Howard McNear." Mr. McNear's website indicates that he appeared in two separate episodes of the Burns-Allen show, each time as Mr. Jansen. Now I'll have to watch for the second ap pearance of McNear with George Burns. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
