My guess is, the closing credits we see now were generate for the show's CBS daytime run. I have two episodes I got from the trading circuit, and they both have all their original commercials, etc. The closing sponsor ID actually shows the Andy and Opie at the creek bank, getting ready to take their catch home. The closing credits show the two walking away with their fish, and Opie drops one and goes back to get it. But it also shows boxes of Post Cereal in the corner of the screen, and I suspect that's why we don't see those credits anymore...

He has it on until he takes the dogs to the field when he gets back its gone, I guess maybe he lost it in the field.

Maybe O'Malley got a ride into town so his car would remain at home. Perhaps that was the car Floyd and Sally took for groceries. I'd have to watch and see if there's one car or two. Anyway, most homes out in the country would keep some gas on hand, don't you think? "Yeah, boy!"

For anyone that knows anything about the history of Ron Howard and his affiliation with TAGS, you would certainly know that his parents played a massive role in his success as an actor, but more importantly, as a human being. They raised him right and that reflects in his work today. Our hearts go out not only to Ron and Clint, but to their father Rance also on the passing of Mrs. Howard....

Barney could have married Thelma Lou & moved in with her. Any explanations? ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

I would love to see one started. I wouldn't watch anything else. I don't think my family would like that to much though. They would want to watch TV too, and it would be a big mess. But, I'll give my $1 anyway. Also wanted to pass on that I just found out that my cable company is going to start carrying TV Land. (I guess they got tired of hearing from me), I was about to go satellite, so I am once again going to be able to visit Mayberry on a daily basis. I am more than happy. I just wish that they would have got it before this weekend. I am so jealous listening to all y'all talk about the marathon. Maybe next time I will be able to watch it too. Well I hope everyone has a Mayberry kind of day.

It showed andy and Opie leaving the fishing hole with their catch. Opie drops one of the fish and wipes it off on his jeans. Does anybody else remember this? Why is it different now? Didn't know who else to ask but to "Call the man!" >>> The original version of the closing credits did indeed show Andy and Opie walking back up the road carrying their catch, while pictures of GF products (Sanka, Jell-O or Post cereals) "popped up" in one corner of the screen. Once the show went into syndication, GF was no longer the sole sponsor, so they had to change the credits. They couldn't very well re-film the whole sequence (since Ronny was older) so they had to replace it. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 05:27:45 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: it's time SHERIFF, SHERIFF!

I remember Opie dropping that fish too! But I haven't seen it for a long time. I think they must have cut the beginning and endings of most of the shows to fit in a few more commercials! Any way.....those trout can be slippery! I agree with Paul Mulik......you always seem to pick up on a few new things when watching TAGS. Has anyone ever seen a "Spanish" version of TAGS?

You can also pick up a lot of things that way that you never noticed before. You see, instead of just sittin' there, you gotta use all your senses! - --Paul >> Daddy, you are sooooooooo right!! I do this all the time! To me, it's just one more fun way to get my dose of Ange and Barn. Also, you can really focus on the facial expressions when the sound is off. The episode "Opie Loves Helen" is a good example. When Helen calls the courthouse after Opie leaves and Barn realizes it was her on the phone with Ope just a few minutes earlier, the look on his face is just priceless!! It cracks me up every time I see it. Speaking of cracking up, any of you ever wonder how many takes it took to get the scene from the episode "Cyrano Andy" where Barn gets right in Andy's face and says ...well 4 can play this game, buddy!. They are so close and that scene is pretty long so I can't imagine how they ever got it on tape without the hint of a smile or something. I like to watch that one without sound too, Paul!!

I'm sure that took a little time looking up all that info. I already had my reservations but I sure appreciate your consideration of those who don't. You're Mayberry-ness is showing!! Thanks!

Did Andy give away any growing secrets about petunia's?

In the opening, Barney is stepping out of a building labeled "Snack Bar," not out of the courthouse, so it was apparently at one end of town. What I find interesting is that the town ends so abruptly and turns into a dirt road that, in the next scene, appears to be way out in the country. Of course, it makes sense when you consider it was really a Hollywood backlot. Janet ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
