Oh Bernie!... I believe one of their episodes was also the first show for cousin goober. Judy Judy Judy ! 😊

[@FayeKramer-rb3ng]

You're right!

[@vistulacooper6802]

"Hello Doll." That's My Girl!!! Skippy be all up on Birney, I mean BARNEY!! This Episode was FUN AND WILD!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was crackin' up😂😂😂😂😂

[@TerryAnne77]

The fun girls episodes are some of my favorites!! Skippy's laugh is so funny! Thanks Bob! ❤😊

[@tcb7098]

convicts at large was a very fun episode to watch

[@rufust.firefly4890]

I got a kick out of that one too.

[@Aroseisarose15]

Especially when one of the convicts, Reta Shaw, also played Barney’s voice teacher in another episode. The show was great at reusing some of the same actors in other roles.

[@tcb7098]

@@Aroseisarose15 yeah she did a good job in that role to. They had some good character actors on that show

[@kleenk8]

@@Aroseisarose15 Barney at the window when he sees Andy and says what are you doing here, and then tries to cover it up by singing what are you doing? Hilarious.

[@Aroseisarose15]

@@kleenk8 Barney was the best. I think I read that even Andy couldn’t keep a straight face around him, and the actor playing Floyd also had him laughing.

[@yolandajohnson8685]

Daphne played in "The Camera" episode of Twilight Zone

[@LightBeamer777]

Yep, put me in the love category for the fun girls. I thought they were great. "Oh Bernie, you're a scream!" On the first episode with the fun girls, when Andy and Barn meet them at the diner, the guy in the next booth cracks me up when he first hears Daphnes voice. You can see him turn his head, and he had to be thinking, "what the heck was that?". Great episode Bob! The fun girls are some of my favorite episodes.

[@elbertsorrell8394]

@LightBeamer Count me in the Like category, too! The girls always thought the guys liked them as much as they liked Barney & Andy! That made it always that much more enjoyable to watch!

[@SurferJoe1]

"Convicts at Large", with Don Knotts' immortal tango with Reta Shaw, is my favorite episode, but I can't even say "Fun Girls" without laughing. Daphne and Skippy are the funniest thing to ever hit television and one of the great creations in the history of the medium. Let us all bow down to Jean Carson and Joyce Jameson.

[@br529]

Fun girls are one of my favorites

[@marsh443]

💞 The BEST TAGS episodes always included the Fun Girls! Jean Carson & Joyce Jameson went on to become accomplished & highly popular TV actors. Even today 2024, their appearances never get old. Thanks Jean & Joyce you are both still missed! 💐

[@blaze3884]

"Skippy" also had roles in the Perry Mason shows. Loved both those girls, truly fun! ❤

[@beckybarnes1059]

I loved the fun girls! They were so much fun to watch 💜

[@jonlong5197]

I was blown away when I saw "Skippy" Joyce Jameson playing the part of a prostitute in "The Outlaw Josey Wales". The Fun Girls were the BEST!!

[@rufust.firefly4890]

She had a small part as a bimbo pick-up in The Apartment.

[@slicksmith856]

She was in two episode's of The Munsters.

[@cmm2145]

I like Daphne. “Hello, Doll!”

[@oliverortiz5226]

I love the Fun Girls. I wish they were used more in later seasons. How can you not love them? Both actresses were under appreciated in my opinion. Thank you for the details about these two funny ladies.

[@DCJNewsMedia]

Hey your Snapping out another great video 😊 We praying for you Brother and your family 😊 ✝️ 🙏 🤲

[@Thomasgene]

HI DOLL! ITS ME IT'S ME IT'S ERNEST T! I LOVE IT KEEP EM COMIG! THE FUN GIRLS WITH GOMER AND GOOBER! WHAT FUN!

[@Barnabas45]

Sadly Jameson committed suicide at her Burbank, California home by overdosing on pills.

[@d.g.n9392]

I like the fun girls, unexpected for Andy and Bernie. Was watching an old Peter Sellers movie, “The Party”. Jean Carson was a babysitter in the movie. Thanks Bob, 🙋‍♂️🙏

[@pamelajohnson2815]

Very interesting! Loved the fun girls too!

[@paulmclaughlin4132]

Thanks Bob for this AGS F & T segment on the Fun Girls. Great trivia on two of the funniest gals ever on the show.

[@patzguitarz]

Convicts at Large is one of my favorite episodes. I also love the Fun Girls episodes.

[@reapthewhirlwind4166]

Hi, Dollllll! Thanks,Bob

[@aliciagillman9305]

The fun girls gave me heartburn, but this was interesting. Thanks Bob!

[@theandygriffithshowfactsan3585]

Good morning dolll....sorry couldn't resist lol

[@kenwooldridge8216]

Some of my favorite Andy episodes had the "fun girls"

[@dhart8451]

The Fun Girls were the early version of Lavere & Shirley.

[@tanyahardy5065]

Good comment! Then they toned down the girls quite a bit. Cindy and Penny were amazing actors.. Their characters were more appealing than Lucy and Ethel from I Love Lucy when you think of it and were every bit as talented.

[@mymix1880]

Great video Bob . The Fun Girls were great together. They were cast on other TV shows . Thank you Bob Melanie and praying for you 🙏

[@carolynpurser7469]

Loved the Fun Girls! Most Unusual Camera is on of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes.

[@David-yw2lv]

Aneta Corsaut once commented while the Fun Girls were supposed to have angered Helen & Thelma Lou in the show,she & Betty Lynn were almost hysterical off screen.Jean Carson was a fine actress,I can't imagine Betty Rubble with that raspy voice Bea Benedaret was much better in the role.

[@alphonsocarioti512]

Thanks for this. Loved all the characters of TAGS but never warmed up to the Fun Girls!

[@wandahall4435]

Great job Bob ❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊

[@doncollins786]

I love the fun girls! Also love Goober's impressions!

[@jeanmoreno2428]

Hi Bob and Everyone I love this video because I like the episodes with the Fun Girls they were so funny! Thank you for the video God Bless Much Love Everyone Jean

[@SurferJoe1]

An old friend was a radio DJ who sometimes interviewed pop culture figures, and he'd sometimes call me in advance to get a question or two. For Jean Carson, I suggested he ask her about her rare dramatic role in "I Married a Monster From Outer Space", an unexpectedly excellent sci-fi/suspense film saddled with an exploitation title that doesn't do it justice. She loved and appreciated the question, as it's such an overlooked gem of a film, and she enjoyed talking about it.

[@billsmith1770]

barney always got the babes .

[@marlenepearson3936]

That was a good one Bernie... I mean Bob! I didn't know that information 😳 🤔 🎉

[@theandygriffithshowfactsan3585]

Lol

[@Chris_the_Dingo]

I live a few miles from Pilot Mountain NC. There are no fun girls...trust me lol

[@theandygriffithshowfactsan3585]

Lol

[@user-im9jc8fi6h]

Thank you for the video Bob, interesting information about the two ladies.

[@tanyahardy5065]

In another example of casting the same actor in a different role, Big Maude was Barney's vocal coach Eleanor Poultice.

[@halfwaydecent6842]

Reta Shaw was also in 'Ghost and Mr. Chicken' w/ Don Knotts

[@tanyahardy5065]

My favourite movie! Atta Boy, Luther!@@halfwaydecent6842

[@markcornish2519]

Joyce Jameson was Robert Vaughn's girlfriend in real life

[@Mo-MuttMusic]

Thanks for sharing. Streaming this got me to thinking about Daphne saying, "Shut up, Bernie! Just shut up!" Love that bit. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular (and fan of classic television)

[@jimbartalone2766]

Joyce had a brief appearance in Any Which Way But Loose as a waitress.

[@johnharris3362]

I remember Joyce was on almost everything back in the day, I've got Jean in a episode of Bilko and probably others be she just didn't seem to stand out in the same way as Joyce.

[@AndyTempleman-ot6lu]

Characters like Ernest, Darlings, and the Fun Girls were nice to see every once and awhile. Glad they did not appear too often. Would have gotten tired of them. Good video, Bob!

[@tanyahardy5065]

I agree! but I also tired of Helen Crump's hissy fits!

[@rufust.firefly4890]

Never cared for one episode of that Darlings stuff except when ETB wanted to get married.

[@bryanspindle4455]

Don't forget Earnest T. Bass. "It's me, it's me, it's Earnest T.!"

[@rufust.firefly4890]

If a duck stands still, you can catch him by the bill.@@bryanspindle4455

[@hyacinth4368]

Oh, Paw, that one makes me cry!!

[@kathymitchell4195]

I think Joyce Jameson was in Star Trek and in Hogan Heroes.

[@deeanna3335]

Joyce was on a Waltons episode where she competed in a dance marathon contest. John-Boy competed in the same contest.

[@user-fu1kx7sj1x]

I liked the fun girls from Mt pilot daff said to andy hi doll they were good on.the andy griffith show good video bob vickie napa california

[@rufust.firefly4890]

OPIE IS now 70. Saw that TZ ep w/Carson. Robt Vaughn said Joyce Jameson was nothing like her type cast character. She was in The Outlaw Josey Wells.Jackie Joseph is still around.

[@thechallengers8162]

We need more fun girls in the world

[@hazelmckoy4327]

This was very informative!😊

[@paulamurray6974]

They were hilarious!

[@joeanderson9852]

❤❤

[@trustmetrusty3169]

Enjoy your channels, appreciate your hard work involved. I did want to point out that the intro/outro music in nearly all the videos is too loud or your voice over/speaking levels are too low. Again, keep up the good work. ☮️✌️🇺🇸

[@goplad1]

I thought the Fun Girls were hilarious. The way they affected Andy and Bernie (aka Mr. Fix It) was a scream. "Get those girls out of here". I can hear Andy now.

[@TheAzmountaineer]

"Hello, doll!" The Fun Girls WERE fun, but way too much for Andy and Barn! Jean Carson was from my hometown of Charleston and the people that had gone to school with her said she was a real sweetheart, but I never got to meet her,

[@tomfilipiak3511]

They,were great,in all they did!Pro s all the way!God bless them!!!

[@ellenugl6170]

❤you and your videos I also ❤ love the fun girls those are some of best

[@theandygriffithshowfactsan3585]

Aw shucks

[@bobstuckrath1805]

HELLO DOLL!!!

[@christywhitehead3171]

❤❤❤

[@mikeabela4787]

Joyce Jameson was on Hogans Heroes for a couple of episodes.....

[@lambo58]

Skippy was on an episode of the Rockford Files.

[@P.G.1966]

Fun girls were only on 3 times....3.

[@P.G.1966]

8 years...3 times????

[@douglashall2141]

And the one lady was also on McHale's Navy ask kehlani Kate

[@johnrunion5357]

i think the fun girls were the blue print for laverene and shirley as that duo was originally seen on happy days. also, in the movie five corners with jodie foster there are two girls who i believe to be patterened after the fun girls.

[@gogoyubari366]

Fun girls are so pretty !

[@jeffreydillingham7630]

My mood would improve immensely if I ran into those two. Too many uptight people these days.

[@clintperry799]

Shazam 💯💙👍

[@SteveHill0528]

Oh Shut up Bernie, just shut up!

[@rdmeenach]

Next to the fun girls, Thelma Lou and Helen really looked boring and uptight. I think Barney really preferred Skippy. She was as close to Juanita as we would see on the show.

[@darrellwampler3882]

I wanna curl your hair😅

[@dennisatkins9837]

I love the fun girls too but they weren’t too much fun. 😂

[@KnockOffBeingFat]

What is Not to like about those Fun Girls!??

[@FreedomOfSpeech1776]

Oh bernie

[@shanerattray6629]

Thanks for the video Bob. I may be in the minority but I never liked the fun girls. I thought the first episode they were in was a good episode but only because they were only in it for a few minutes. The other two episodes are some of my least favorite.

[@geraldstorseth8902]

It's NOT Hi Doll. It's HELLO DOLL!!! 🤮

[@user-zt5wc1if3n]

Get a set of dentures.

[@user-dw6sm7in5z]

I enjoyed the fun girls - Helen and Thelma Lou were soooo boring and - not fun - and they brought some excitement into Mayberry!

[@opinionatedone2561]

Fum girls were my second least favorite characters Ya feel they were thrown in to " liven the series up"; create chaos Least favorite... drum roll please.. . Earnest t Wau too obnoxious!!

[@tanyahardy5065]

HELEN CRUMP!!!!!

[@markrothkopf5598]

I agree! Just obnoxious… fun girls and Ernest T . Too much But at least not downright mean bitch Helen Grump lol… I mean Crump. I wondered how he could want anything to do with her.. right from her first appearsnce.. comes storming in the courthouse yelling Should have kept pretty and intelligent Ellie ( Elinor Donahue

[@rufust.firefly4890]

If a duck stands still, you can catch hum by the bill. I never cared for the Darlings.

[@rufust.firefly4890]

him

[@evensteven929]

Shut up Bernie! Just shut up!

[@petegregory517]

Did not like any of the story line’s involving Ernest T. Never watch any of his reruns.

[@hardluckharris]

Two of the worst characters on the show

[@timentry8676]

Joyce Jameson was the bar woman in The Outlaw Josey Wales
