One of my favorite post apocalyptic tropes are the people who were like "yeah I was just doing my thing living my life until the world fell apart and it turned out I was really good at something unexpected"

RIP MAGGIE PETERSON-MANCUSO

1941-2022

Margaret Ann Peterson (aka Maggie Mancuso) was best known for playing Charlene Darling on “The Andy Griffith Show”, which was filmed on the Desilu backlot. In one episode she played opposite Howard McNear, who also played Mr. Crawford, Little Ricky’s music instructor on “I Love Lucy.”  “The Andy Griffith Show” was actually a spin-off of “Make Room for Daddy” aka “The Danny Thomas Show”.  

She also played the character of Doris in the final episode filmed "A Girl for Goober" in 1968, the same year Lucille Ball sold Desilu Studios to Paramount. 

While at Desilu, concurrently with her appearances on “The Andy Griffith Show”, she was hired to play Susie the Waitress on another Desilu-filmed series, “The Bill Dana Show”, yet another spin-off of “The Danny Thomas Show.”  In 1958, “The Danny Thomas Show” did a cross-over episode with “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” and vice-versa.  In her eight episodes as Susie (all in 1964), Peterson co-starred with such “Lucy” favorites as Charles Lane (Mr. Barnsdahl on “The Lucy Show”), Sandra Gould (Nancy Johnson in “Oil Wells”), and Tristram Coffin (Harry Munson on “I Love Lucy”). 

Staying in the Desilu / Mayberry family, Peterson also did a 1965 episode of “Gomer Pyle: USMC”, filmed on the Desilu backlot. She played a blind date for Gomer on the episode “The Blind Date”. 

In 1966, “The Lucy Show” did a cross-over episode with “Gomer Pyle: USMC” that featured Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle and Lucille Ball as Lucy Carmichael (aka Lou C. Carmichael). 

In 1967 she joined Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, Tennessee Ernie Ford, and The Back Porch Majority on the music special “The Andy Griffith Uptown-Downtown Show” playing herself. 

Now considered one of the Mayberry favorites, Peterson also appeared on “Mayberry RFD” in 1970. She played Edna, who was sweet on Sam (Ken Berry). Berry was ‘discovered’ by Lucille Ball, and also appeared on “The Lucy Show” in 1968.  

In 1986 Peterson was invited to reprise her role as Charlene Darling in “Return To Mayberry”. She was re-united with many of her co-stars, including The Dillards, the country band who played her family on “The Andy Griffith Show.” 

In 1996 she played Charlene one last time on “Nashville Now”, performing a song with The Dillards on a Mayberry Reunion Show. 

In 1978, she married Gus Mancuso, who died in 2021. Margaret’s health steadily declined and she died on May 15, 2022 at age 81.

In the answer to the ask about Nikolais thoughts about having a partner and kids, Nikolai mentioned something about his mother being right. What did she tell the poor man?

Greetings Rey ^^

She told Nikolai that no one would ever love him, and that the world would abandon him if he would go against her wishes and orders, that he would be all alone, and not a single person would ever have any sympathy for him.

When Nikolai, was chased trough Mayberry and later having a verbal fight with his sister, that led to Kathrina throwing her older brother out of her flat, the words of the Akdow siblings mother, echoed in Nikolai's mind again.

And for a while he wondered, if perhaps she was right, with his own sister hating him now (or so Nikolai believed)...Nikolai really thought he was all alone now, and no one cared for him.

It was one of the reasons why Nikolai broke into the Roadkillerz base, thinking if really no one cared for him, then, what would it matter, and so he did it.

Fortunately Nikolai starts to make friends, at first more begrudgingly than by his own choice he has conversations with people, however it is a start.

Even if there were some ups and downs, between that, it really helped Nikolai.

And then of course, he met Grementine Mewton, and Nikolai really liked her.

He was, surprised how she was willing to help him a complete stranger, a "fellow lab coat" she called him, because Nikolai was wearing his at the time when the cat picked him up,

They had a short conversation, until they reached enough civilization were Nikolai could get help and a way back to the Roadkillerz base.

Nikolai was, very thankful for Grem's help, and that stuck with him, and he never forgot the kindness of the cat that moved something in him.

And Nikolai, he was glad, very glad when he met Grementine Mewton again and again, for slowly, he started to notice, how the feelings towards Grem, were, unique :-.)

Yours sincerely

Bowler

The golden idol of my people.

What we have in Barney Fife is a prototype. He is a fictional character against which characters with similar traits are measured—a gold standard.

As dreadfully wholesome and corny as many episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show" could be, there were about three dozen that transcended sitcom flaws and clichés, thanks to the inspired purity of demeanor, character, and behavior that Don Knotts imbued in the character of Fife. It was a considerable act of total creation and control, since by all accounts Knotts was (not counting his height and weight) completely unlike Barney Fife.

“Barne,” as Sheriff Andy Taylor usually called him, was a zealot fighting for sundry causes—invariably unjustified ones if they existed at all. He was strung as tight as a banjo string, and consequently Barney was easily offended, excited, or goaded into responses—reactions, really—that were, in type or proportion (or both) always wholly inappropriate. The diminutive know-it-all frequently held forth on topics about which he had zero insight or experience; indeed, the inventory of subjects he did not quite grasp was encyclopedic. When challenged on a "fact," Barney escalated his didactic interludes to blustering rage, which quickly subsided into one of his more effortless postures—the all-day sulk. Pushed far enough, Deputy Fife would simply resign from the department, after which Andy calmly slipped the letter of resignation into a file drawer already stuffed with the simmering deputy's previous retirement missives.

As a first-order turkey neck, Barney was the quintessential 98-pound weakling, with a mouth almost weekly writing checks that his frame could not hope to cash. He fancied himself a ladies' man, a man's man, and a lawman of considerable skill; he might have been an ace crime fighter had he not been (in his mind) thwarted by the less-than-modern techniques that the Mayberry Sheriff's Department employed to battle the criminal underworld that Barney was certain lurked in the Carolina mountains.

According to Barney, Mayberry residents merely overlooked his potential, unfairly focusing instead on the deputy’s ineptitude with a gun, a patrol car, an unruly crowd, or those keys to the holding cells. His unhappiness with everyone’s misapprehension bordered on cosmic desperation. In short, this swaggering buffoon was what results when unearned confidence puts on a uniform, or when total delusion pins on a badge. Who could stand to be around him?

Apparently, everyone, because Barney Fife was, is, and always will be adored by anyone who has ever seen the show. His behavior may have consistently called for ridicule, but the key to his likability was that he never earned our scorn. Just as Don Knotts' admirable control of this comic figure transcended television's inherent lack of sophistication, some of Barney's inherent traits of character transcended his ridiculous demeanor.

He was, above all, loyal, and his unflinching defense of Sheriff Taylor's son, Opie, invariably made Barney look taller and larger than he actually was (recall the episode involving school bullies who were extorting Opie's milk money). Barney often interceded when he thought Andy was being too hard on the boy, and woe unto those who insulted or otherwise slighted Aunt Bea.   Anyone wishing to assert a critical remark about the town of Mayberry will have to run that assessment by Barney. Good luck to them.

It's true that Barney was a world-class braggart, but when the townsfolk lauded him for some good deed or act of courage, the otherwise cocky deputy collapsed into embarrassed modesty. He deeply craved the approbation of his peers, but upon receiving it he was suddenly too shy to exploit his new standing. Barney might stare down an insult, but he couldn’t make eye contact with a sincere compliment. Yes, he foolishly scanned the horizon for crimes and misdemeanors that simply didn’t exist. But he was keenly alert to any authentic injustice, and should some unfairness or unkindness emerge against friend or neighbor, the needle on Barney’s moral compass swung harder than anyone’s toward righting that wrong.

At the end of any episode, what we understand about Deputy Fife is that he simply tried too hard. When his friends faced a crisis, Barney may have been the first to draw up an insane plan or the first on the scene to make a colossal blunder—but he was the first on the scene, nonetheless. There are worse types in the world, fictional and otherwise.

This was the end of issue 29 and it set up for one of my favorite dekes in the series

This entire comic Glenn has been running back to the prison. Dale is hanging out with Andrea on the guard tower and sees someone in Glenn's latest fashion running towards the gates, but when they arrive, it's Tyrese!

The Governor had him captive the entire time
