I was looking through the archives here at the Two Chairs No Waiting headquarters and found my back issues of The Bullet. The Bullet was the official newsletter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) for years until it moved to an electronic version (The eBullet) back in the early 2000's. I thought it would be great to share the very first issue of The Bullet with you and give you...

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:24:28 I was looking around my “Mayberry” room at the different items I’ve collected over the years and realizing how much I enjoy having Mayberry things in my life.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:17:56 As I was thinking about The Andy Griffith Show and what it’s meant to me over the years it came to me that I’ve never talked about what I’m thankful for related to Mayberry. Of course we’re all thankful that Andy created the town of Mayberry for us all […]

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:25:12 It seems like just yesterday when we celebrated out 250th podcast with an interview with TAGS cast member Betty “Thelma Lou” Lynn so it’s hard to believe we’re already at episode 260.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:25:47 Last episode “Otis” and I gave our Mayberry Days 2013 report and mentioned the Mayberry Days Trivia contest.

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:33:21 Mayberry Days 2013 was one of the most fun Mayberry Days for me in recent years. That is saying a LOT. The wonderful weather may have been a factor but I believe it was the fans. It seemed to me that everybody had a smile on their face and […]
