Two Chairs No Waiting

My goodness.  I almost let all of 2009 go by without doing an episode about The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) and that’s unMayberry-like of me.  After all, 2009 marks the 30th Andy-versery of the “Rerun Watchers Club” being established at Vanderbilt Universary in Nashville, TN.  TAGSRWC began in the fall of 1979 and within a short time the club, though still informal, had grown considerably.

From October 3, 1982 until the 2001 the official Newsletter of The Andy Grifffith Show Rerun Watchers Club was The Bullet. In June 2001 the club made the move to an electronic newsletter called The eBullet but continued to publish a smaller print newsletter called “The Pocket” (named for where Barney kept the bullet).

There are currently 10,919 subscribers to The eBullet and The Pocket is no longer printed replaced by an even smaller one page flyer called “The Button.”

As TAGSRWC closes out the 30th year as an organization the love for the show that members love continues to grow. New members, both young and old, continue to join and the total number of chapters founded has grown to 1,348.  An official Facebook Fan Page was founded on October 3, 2009 to mark the 30th anniversary of TAGSRWC creation and is already approaching the 1000 fan mark (774 as I write this note).

Two Chairs No Waiting

We’ll be talking about The Andy Griffith Show episode The Bookie Barber this week and we’ll hear some feedback from your fellow listeners.

What got me thinking about The Bookie Barber was the current episode (#67) of the Burke on Mayberry podcast in which that episode was the topic. Kevin Burke, the host, did a fun review of the episode and I thought it would be nice tie in to tell you folks about some strange and curious happenings in Mayberry during that episode.

I hope you enjoy that as well as the feedback about past Two Chairs episodes from listeners.

Two Chairs No Waiting

We’ve had wonderful segments of Two Chairs No Waiting during the Rodney Dillard interview and this final segment is no exception.

Our discussion turns more to The Andy Griffith Show and how being on the show has impacted The Dillards over the years.  The feeling of “family” that The Dillards have when performing for audiences because the fans “know” them from The Andy Griffith Show.

Rodney also talks about being on the set between shots and how The Andy Griffith Show was different than other shows on which they appeared.

Two Chairs No Waiting

Welcome back to Two Chairs No Waiting!  We’re continuing our interview with Rodney Dillard and learn about a few appearances that he and Doug have made on movies and TV that most fans may not know about.

Rodney tells us about things he’s been working on recently including his Mayberry Values in Todays World presentations across the country. This is a ministry that gives practical applications to what it means to be a Christian.

The discussion goes a good bit into this topic so take this as fair warning for anyone offended by frank discussion of walking through life as a  Christian.  I don’t believe that most listeners need that heads up but I felt like I should give one.  I’d love to hear from you about this topic and have a discussion however you feel.
