I've seen a lot of TAGS actors on "Death Valley Days" recently. In one episode
titled "Cap'n Peg Leg" (1960) Wary Willie the hobo on TAGS played the leading
role of a seaman with a peg leg who went around killing his former shipmates by
using a gun hidden in his peg leg. Our very own Helen Crump

Aunt Bee cooked leg of lamb for lunch when big Jeff Pruitt came into town
looking for a wife in "A Farmer Takes a Wife." She apologized to Jeff for only
having a leg of lamb for lunch and Jeff said that was OK. He likes to have a
light lunch every now and then and then really pack it in for supp
You heard that in the "Mayberry Man" movie. Allan (Floyd) and Rik Roberts
(Barney) talk about that while driving in the night to see the "real" Mayberry
squad car. That was all improvised and came off very funny.

Another prime example of someone with a middle initial that does not stand for
anything is Harry S Truman. The "S" didn't stand for anything. In fact, if I
remember correctly, the "S" didn't even have a period after it for his legal
name.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble here, but the "T" didn't stand for anything.
TAGS writer Everett Greenbaum’s brother worked for a movie titles producer
named Saul Bass. On the television show "Mr. Peepers," writers Jim Fritzell and
Everett called the football coach Frank T. Whip. That’s where

I think this was in "Andy's Investment" episode #231 from season 8. Aunt Bee
gave her friend Louise Spooner's son a dictionary as he was going off to
college in Connecticut with low requirements.

I happened to watch some of the old Western movie "Horizons West" (1960) last
night. Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) played the mother of a young Rock Hudson! This
is interesting because in the TAGS episode "Mayberry Goes Hollywood" Andy asks
Aunt Bee if Rock Hudson was her favorite actor. Of course s
Barney could have graduated from high school in May 1945, immediately
volunteered and served until the war ended in Sept. 1945. Similar for Andy
since he said he served in France during the war. As Clara once said, "It's
possible."

I just saw Clara Edwards (Hope Summers) on season 3 episode 12 of "Petticoat
Junction." She almost married Uncle Joe Carson ("Goldbrick" Henry Wheeler on
TAGS). Now that would have been an interesting couple!

I'm glad we're discussing Aunt Bee's plane that she soloed in. I and a few
other hardcore TAGS fans had the ultra-rare privilege of getting to see and sit
in this very plane N5955B back in 2019 on our trip to California. According to
the owner who had owned it since the 1970s, we were the first
I was excited to see our very own Emma Brand (Cheerio Meredith) on season 1
episode 4 of "Petticoat Junction". TAGS J. Howard Jackson (Roy Roberts) asked
her for (wouldn't you know it) a dime so he could make a phone call. She found
a dime to give him. I'll bet that was the very dime she was goi

Yes, I saw where the newsstand is about 4:59 in "The Arrest of the Fun Girls"
episode. I was looking for the actual scene where Andy and Barney were standing
in front of it. That's why I missed it earlier. Like Margaret said, it must
have been a publicity shot or perhaps the script changed to wh

I watched the entire uncut episode "The Arrest of the Fun Girls" and that photo
of Andy and Barney in front of the newsstand with the racing forms was not
there. It's not on "Mayberry Goes Hollywood" either.
The search continues.

Wow! Great find, Jeff! I have never seen that photo of Andy and Barney in front
of that newspaper stand. I can't recall ever seeing it in any episode. I'm
eager to hear if anyone else knows.
The link you provided was also very interesting. I learned some new things
about the show. In particular
In response to Holland's post yesterday about the "Mayberry Man" movie being
similar to the "Man in a Hurry" episode on TAGS, yes, I see the similarities,
but I think it is even more similar to "Bailey's Bad Boy" episode on TAGS. In
that episode bad boy Ron Bailey is a cocky kid who broke the la
I saw Wary Willie the hobo who befriended Opie and his merry men in the woods
on Perry Mason last night. I don't remember the episode name, but Wary was all
dressed up in a suit. I guess that was before his leg went game and couldn't
work anymore.

I think this has come up before, but I was thrilled to see our beloved Mr.

"The Case of the Drowsy Mosquito" from season 7 episode 3 filmed in 1963. Mr.
Schwamp is clearly seen leaning against a piano in the back of the
Here's my theory in answering Joe's questions about where "Opie Steps Up in
Class" and "Andy's Trip to Raleigh" were filmed. They definitely were not
filmed on the 40 acres lot. They scouted out locations around Los Angeles and
used an existing house for the exterior scene for the Hollander's ho
The Rimshaw house is actually Mrs. Wiley's house! They just made it look all
spooky. Notice the yellow house that Arnold and Opie walk next to while playing
baseball. That is the house across the street from both Andy's house and Mrs.
Wiley's.
