Perhaps it was a budgetary issue that they didn't show what was on the screen. I know during the first season Aunt Bee can actually be seen listening to a radio soap opera and they show the radio from the front. (TAGS premiered in October 1960 and CBS cancelled its last remaining radio soaps on November 25 of that year.) The "Lassie" -type TV show the Taylors and Gomers are all watching, came from an episode that aired later in the run when radio drama was a spent force. Dixon ************** Start the year off right.
