"My husband is a FORD retiree too, Keevy, so I feel your pain. You've gotta wonder why on earth they did that. Surely, by 1986, fans were already collecting replicas of the squad cars. Brand-loyalty is everything in the auto…"
Keevy Hazelton replied to Thelscuz's discussion RETURN TO MAYBERRY, Sniff, Sniff"My biggest beef with 'Return' is that they switched the squad car from a Ford to a Chevy. Grrrrr. My father retired from Ford so I've been brainwashed on them since birth. "
Keevy Hazelton replied to Thelscuz's discussion Classic Lines: They're Getting Older AND Better!"My all time fav line is, "Daylight's precious when you're a youngun'," spoken by Andy to Barn in, 'Opie and His Merry Men.'
"Just what can you do with a grown woman?," will forever be a classic."
Janice Carter replied to Thelscuz's discussion Classic Lines: They're Getting Older AND Better!"There's a scene where Barney is walking down the street with Andy and a pole comes between them.

Classic Lines: They're Getting Older AND Better!
I think we may have done something like this before but it's always fun to revisit some of the classic lines from TAGS. Those immortal words that live on in the hearts and funny bones of us fans are definitely worth remembering. Let's list some favorites:Andy to Barney when Mr. Fife has pushed him to the limit: "You beat all, you know that?"orAndy to Opie after the birds have flown away: "Don't the trees seem nice and full?"One more:Barn to a mysterious lady (on the phone): "Nita. …See More
"Good info, Janice. Somewhere, I saw a trailer made before the first episode aired, I believe, that showed Andy and Barney either raising or lowering the flag. It might have been in the first episode. But that was a great way to end…"
Janice Carter replied to Thelscuz's discussion RETURN TO MAYBERRY, Sniff, Sniff"Much of the movie was filmed in the town of Los Olivos, California. About ten years after it was filmed I moved to Solvang, about 5 miles away. Of course I couldn't wait to visit Los Olivos and look for tell-tale signs from the…"
"I wonder if they could ever serve pounded steak (pounded right there in front of you) at the diner like they do at Morelli's? I know they couldn't serve it as "The Special," (too pricey), but it would be an awesome addition…"
"Thanks, Bobby. Guess that explains the "aging" thing. Almost twenty years IS an age, isn't it? Any ideas on the Shanghai Gardens/Morelli's question?"
"Return to Mayberry was released in April 1986. I haven't watched that one for a long time either."
"Barney and Thelma Lou watch "that doctor show on TV," while partaking of a big bowl of cashew fudge every week.
Also, in the early episodes there is a combination funeral parlor/TV repair shop near the courthouse. "
RETURN TO MAYBERRY, Sniff, Sniff
Yesterday, for the first time since the original broadcast, I watched RETURN TO MAYBERRY. Talk about a two-hanky experience! I had a couple of problems with it and I know others have mentioned questions they had, in the past.What year was RETURN TO MAYBERRY filmed? I was surprised that most members of the cast had aged so much if it was in the 80's, which I think Andy mentioned at one point. Anybody know the exact year?Then, was The Shanghai Gardens (or whatever the name was) supposed to be…See More
"Wonder why Floyd's son didn't play in the town band? Heaven knows, they needed all the help they could get. Freddy Fleet couldn't be in Mayberry for every band concert!"
