>>>So since we I am on the suitcases, how many times do you remember seeing >>>someone on TAGS carrying a suitcase? >>>
Good question. I've come up with a list but I've probably missed a few. In many instances a character is helping another character with their case, but I figure this counts as they are seen carrying a suitcase even if it's not theirs. Bailey's Bad Boy: Andy, Barney, Otis, Ron Bailey The Manicurist: Ellen, bus driver Andy and Barney in the Big City: Andy, Opie, Barney (careful, there's a bottle in there), bellhop The Pickle Story: Barney Andy on Trial: Miss Boswell (aka that college kid) Cousin Virgil: bus driver, Andy, various passengers Aunt Bee's Romance: Roger Hanover (for them that don't know, "grip" is another word for suitcase, and "the grippe" is the flu — but I digress). Banjo-playing Deputy: Andy, Jerry The Mayberry Band: Andy, Barney Those Gossiping Men: Wilbur Finch, Barney The Christmas Story: Ben Weaver, Barney The New Doctor: Dr. Benson (might have been a medical kit, not a suitcase) Andy and Opie, Housekeepers: Opie, Andy, Aunt Bee Andy and Opie, Bachelors: Opie, Aunt Bee, various passengers Andy's English Valet: Andy High Noon in Mayberry: Luke Comstock Floyd the Gay Deceiver: Floyd, Mrs. Grayson (maybe hers was more of a cosmetic case, it was rather small) Off to Hollywood: Andy, Goober, Warren Class Reunion: Andy, Barney (a trunk is a kind of suitcase, right?) Taylors in Hollywood: Andy, bellhop Gomer Pyle – USMC: Gomer Aunt Bee on TV: Andy (curiously, the cases they bring home do not appear to be the same cases they left Mayberry with) The Return of Barney Fife: Andy The Legend of Barney Fife: Barney (why in the world did it take Goober two hours to remove a fuel pump? I would think anyone with even a tiny bit of engine knowledge could do it in under ten minutes — but I digress again). Baby in the House: Daryl carries bags of baby stuff, but maybe this doesn't qualify Dinner at Eight: Goober A Visit to Barney Fife: Andy Barney Comes to Mayberry: Barney, Harold, Harriet A Trip to Mexico: Aunt Bee, Clara, Myrtle, various passengers Howard and Millie: various passengers Aunt Bee's Cousin: Bradford Howard's New Life: Andy, Opie, Howard Goober Goes to an Auto Show: Aunt Bee, Goober Paul Mulik (that's not one of the answers, I'm just signing off) _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
