[quote]wouldn't the guy at the drug store who developed the picture have seen it when it came out. I mean, the whole town was supposed to be talking about that game, so wouldn't he have blabbed to everyone about Andy being wrong?[/quote]
I had thought of that too, but in "A Trip to Mexico" they refer to the photos as having "come back," implying that the guy at the store (Elmo) had sent them out to be developed. So if he wasn't the nosy type, he probably didn't open the envelope.
[quote]The Andy Griffith show had a mostly white, conservative audience, so it's safe to say that about 80% of the audience is turned off.[/quote]
I don't usually talk about politics on here, but since you brought it up, count me among the 20% (or more) who were turned [i]on[/i]. That video increased my respect for Andy.
[quote]The color ones have a totally different feel... Look at how MY THREE SONS fared when it went to color in the 1965-66 season: While it was still a great show, many fans believe the earlier seasons, 1960-65, the B&W ones and ones with Tim Considine and William Frawley, were funnier, more comedic.[/quote]
I actually like the color episodes of both series (although I could do without Warren).
In TAGS, I really like the Howard Sprague episodes, for example. But I agree about the three phases of Andy. He did always seem angry in the later seasons.
With [i]My Three Sons[/i], I grew up watching the color seasons because they were the ones in syndication in the 70s, while the old B&W ones were not. Also, I prefer Robbie and Chip when they're older, and I really like the story arcs with Katie and Polly.

How about instant smile?
Of course. I intend to be watching TV and here on Moviechat.
And yet, you can't help but like him (at least I can't). Cecil Kellaway is just so darned charming.
I guess Burt Ward wouldn't have the same gravitas either. Personally, I would enjoy Mayor Patrick Stewart, but he's already pretty busy. How about Brent Spiner?
This was my first thought also. Quahog is leaderless. Mayor Ward?
bwalright,
I don't know what happened on those two nights when you posted this, but I watch this on Buzzr all the time--primarily because I love Henry--and if he was edited out, there would be an outcry (at least from me).
Actually, I don't see any reason why they would do this, nor do I think they would go to that much trouble.
Are there any other Henry Morgan fans on Moviechat?
"I think he returned to the past."
This suggests another question. If he returned to the past, is he interacting with the Vinnie of the past, or did the elderly Vinnie go back with him? And will he run into his previous self (a la [i]Back to the Future[/i])? Or is he inhabiting his own past body, but retaining his future memories?
Regarding the father, I've always assumed that it was one of two things. Since this takes place in the middle of the day, he may simply be at work, or Hildy may be a widow.
Regarding Bud, he's there to go for the prescription the doctor ordered. If there had been no Bud, Hildy would have gone, and she wouldn't have allowed Bunny to go along. Because it's Bud who goes, Bunny is able to talk him into taking her to the high school and television station.
Bud is also there, upon Bunny's arrival, to react to her personality with the comment, "Mom said you were a screwball." This establishes that the behavior we see from Bunny is known to be the personality she has always had, rather than something new or unusual.
"The only question is if the diners know, and that doesn't really get answered?"
I don't think the diners know, since Mr. Laffler obviously didn't know. He believed the specialty was lamb, and he explained that the sheep supposedly came from Africa. And, as someone else pointed out, the waiter begs Laffler not to go into the kitchen (because the waiter does know).
This is what I keep saying, but it doesn't seem like most people agree with me. He basically just thought, "Next time the train stops at Willoughby, I'm going to get off and look around." From his perspective, it was just that simple.
There was a dark spot of blood on the carpet, several inches across, after the body had been removed. In later scenes, there's a throw rug there. Since the wall-to-wall carpet was a shade of white, it's not likely that they could have cleaned the spot, hence the throw rug.
Yes, he opened the door to the kitchen (which was between the garden door and the bar), and we could actually see part of it. He also walked out of the kitchen door with the tray full of tea for the police officers.
I just saw it for the first time, and I also assumed, early on, that it would turn out the way it did. This didn't ruin it for me though, because I was waiting to see how this would be revealed. It was actually a better film than I expected it to be, but then I'm also a fan of The Tingler which is another William Castle film.
Mary Webster (Jill) actually just passed away in January of this year at age 81. She was also in a couple of Twilight Zones.
I'm not actually familiar with Rachel Weisz, but Sir Patrick can do anything.
I didn't have a problem with the overall content of his speech, but every time I watch it I'm startled by the tone, as well as when he says, "not until your whole generation has lain down and died will the deadweight of you be off our backs." Even though I agree with what he's saying, I'm struck by a son using these particular words to his father.
