When my grandsons visit, I always try to have them watch at least one TAGS episode with me. I guess I want to help them learn to enjoy Mayberry as much as I have for the last 52 years. Anyway, when…Continue

It may have been mentioned before, but I just noticed an error in the episode "TV or not TV". When Andy is speaking with the "Hollywood writers" the bar across the gun rack is down. Seconds later,…Continue

I stopped by our local Wal-Mart yesterday to pick up my wife's monthly prescription. To my surprise, I was charged 40 cents! I can't be sure, but I think I saw Emma Watson behind me in line with a…Continue

"Jesse White (Fred Boone) was another who had an extensive career before TAGS."
Brent Seguine replied to stagnation water's discussion TAGS: Launching pad to fame and fortune!"Yes. Edgar Buchanan, Charley Ruggles, Wallace Ford, Ian Wolfe were top-billed veterans of films going back to the 1940s and 30s."
Brent Seguine replied to stagnation water's discussion TAGS: Launching pad to fame and fortune!"Yes, all were famous faces on TAGS.
But, all had established credentials in film and TV before TAGS, e.g., Elinor was a household name/face as costar of FATHER KNOWS BEST (1954 - 1959). James Best had been busy in movies for 10…"

Patrick Aei replied to stagnation water's discussion TAGS: Launching pad to fame and fortune!"Jack's appearance in "Juror" was classic. I think Reiner is the most disappointing, especially since he was the outspoken Mike in All in the Family. "
Brent Seguine replied to stagnation water's discussion TAGS: Launching pad to fame and fortune!"Ebsen and Buchanan were established movie stars since the 1930s, notably Ebsen in mid-1930s MGM musicals. Hale Jr. was a regular face on TV and films (esp. westerns) thru the 1950s, although not as well-known as his [virtually lookalike]…"

I have enjoyed TV Land's recent scheduling of the black & white TAGS episodes. Yesterday, I was struck with the realization that many young actors' TAGS appearances catapulted them on to bigger and better things. In fact, it seems that CBS used TAGS to get some exposure for actors on upcoming CBS shows. Here's a partial list I have come up with: Buddy Ebsen (11-13-61) "Opie's Hobo Friend" --Beverly HillbilliesEdgar Buchanan (12-4-61) "Aunt Bee's Brief Encounter"--Petticoat JunctionAlan…See More

Jeff Gossett said… Brad,
I grew up in Attica spent my whole life there really. Graduated in 1988 went to Indiana State for 4 years worked in the finish machine shop at Harrisons during my summer breaks and worked for them for 6 months after graduating in 1992. Left there to work at Fairfield Mfg. in the engineering dept. and I’ve been there 19 years. I built a house down at our family farm 10 miles south of Attica on 41 about 6 years ago. I have a Veedersburg address but I still consider Attica my home and home town because my parents are still there and I’m always around there. If you have ever watched the Potawatomi parade you may have seen my Mayberry Squad car in it. I don’t always have it in the parade just when I can get somebody else to drive it, I ride my horse in the parade with my little boy and parents and friends. We are the ones that stand up on top of our saddles and show off LOL. I also own and operate Pine Creek Karaoke. I’ve got a really big Mayberry collection you should come see it sometime.
Jeff
