Two Chairs No Waiting

Last week we spoke of TAGSRWCs 30th Anniversary and this week I’m following up with the “Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?” Chapter’s 18th Anniversary.  I’ll talk a bit about the WBMUTBB Chapter but to give you a heads up, it was the first official online chapter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers club and over time has produced to date 4,966 editions of the WBMUTBB Digest daily newsletter.

Don’t worry…I’m going to throw in some trivia for you to test yourself with as well.  Not just ANY trivia either. This will be a few questions from the “Super Bowl of Mayberry Trivia” held each year during Mayberry Days in Mt. Airy, NC.  These questions are HARD so don’t feel bad if you don’t know them.  I’ll throw in an easy one or two so folks like me can feel good about getting one right.

Don’t forget to leave comments or ask questions on the Mayberry.com/podcasts website or using the contact information given in the podcast. We’d love to have you be a part of our next feedback episode.

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).

Don’t forget to leave comments or ask questions on the Mayberry.com/podcasts website or using the contact information given in the podcast. We’d love to have you be a part of our next feedback episode.

Two Chairs No Waiting

Two Chairs No Waiting made it through the first year of podcast episodes.  What started as a way to publish interviews with cast members that were on Mayberry.com as “Real Audio” files and my desire to turn them into MP3 files so folks could listen has turned in to a weekly Internet radio show about Mayberry.  Two Chairs first year was 52 episodes with just over 11 and a half hours of Mayberry content.

I never dreamed that more would be left to say after the first few episodes.

Thank you to everyone that listens and to all those that have already been a part of the show. I also want to thank my wonderful wife for allowing me to produce a show a week and for hosting the first episode of our second season.

Remember to tell folks about our show and don’t please don’t forget to leave comments or ask questions on the Mayberry.com/podcasts website or by using the contact information given in the podcast. We’d love to have you be a part of our next feedback episode.
