Speaking of remakes of TAGS. I have often wondered why, with all the
popularity of TAGS, that an animated movie has never been made. You could
have the very same characters as in the originals and with the artistry and
technology today their likenesses would not be a problem. It would be
difficult to hear different voices though. Would there be a legal problem
producing such a movie because of ownership to the rights or anything like
that? I was going to contact Neil Bentley, the attorney in Mt. Pilot, and
ask him, but he must have an unlisted phone as I could not find him.
Personally, I would not want to see an actual movie remake of TAGS. It
would never be the same with different people playing those wonderful
people.

MAYBERRY RFD was not produced by Paramount. It was produced by 'RFD
Productions', a company owned by Andy Griffith and Richard Linke. The series
only
filmed at Paramount (*).
In the '80s, Andy and Dick sold their Mayberry-related holdings, and Turner
Broadcasting purchased the RFD series. Turner was subsequently purchased by
Warner Brothers in 1996, and Warner Brothers has owned MAYBERRY RFD since then.
(*) 'RFD Productions' leased a soundstage at Paramount (TAGS' old Desilu
Studios facilities) for the first 2 seasons of RFD, the 40 Acres backlot in
Culver
City for downtown Mayberry location shoots, and a section of Warner Brothers'
backlot for Sam Jones' farmhouse and barn. For season 3, 'RFD Productions'
consolidated all production activities to Warner Brothers in Burbank; indoor
sets were reconstructed on a WB soundstage, and downtown Mayberry was also now
the WB downtown backlot. (That season 3 move is not related to WB's ownership
of the series.)
TAGS and GOMER PYLE were produced by Mayberry Enterprises and Desilu (and
then Paramount), and are owned by Viacom/Paramount.

Bob, I don't mean to take anything away from those who correctly answered your
question, but I do think having the first two entire seasons of TAGS on DVD has
been a help in noticing some of those obscure facts. It has certainly helped
me, since I only had my set of Columbia House tapes (not even TAGS on cable or
broadcast TV) before this. I have seen episodes in the DVD sets that I haven't
had the pleasure of viewing in years. Love those DVDs!!

I've been watching my season 2 dvd's this weekend, and enjoying them a lot.
I like to read the descriptions of each episode on the tape case or in this
case, the dvd case, and I noticed that on disc #5, the first episode, the
episode name, "Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee" is correct, but the description of
the episode is wrong. They have the description for episode #154, "Aunt
Bee's Invisible Beau", not the one on the dvd. That's the only discrepancy
I've
noticed. The quality of the picture is incredible. You really CAN see
Thelma Lou's freckles. LOL

As nice as it may sound, NO. Hollywood would blow it like they always do
when bringing classic small screen to the big screen. For the most part,
the new actors/actresses would probably be a disappointment but the main
thing would be a story worthy of 2 hour + movie. TAGS worked great in the
half hour format but stretch it out to a movie length....? Return To
Mayberry was nice in bringing back the characters, some real good stuff
there, but some of the secondary story lines in there were stretching it
quite a bit. I think it could have been done a lot better, rather than one
of the reunion shows that were flooding the airwaves for awhile. (RTF still
is one of the better reunion shows) A.A. MPk.

Agree...
It's almost like learning to deal with the lost of a loved one (viewing the
entire show and cast as a whole)...it's a heck of a lot better plan to
reminisce using "home videos" and pictures than to go half-crazy and run out
trying to conjure up some "spirit of the dead" made up of false voices and
illustrations in the back of an alley somewhere!

Concerning my last post on this: 1.) Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings
concerning my opinion on Return To Mayberry. 2.) RTF should have read RTM.
Thank you.

Hi All: Maybe it's been posted and I missed it. I'm just wondering if Mayberry
RFD has been released on DVD as well. I don't get TV Land anymore so I'll miss
the marriage episode again and any of the rest of the marathon. Although I've
seen it ... would love to have it in my collection. Oh how I envy you all who
own the second season already. Due to some unexpected health issues and
expenses ... I've had to postpone purchasing mine but hopefully, by the time
the third season comes out, I can order them both. Cathy a.k.a. Skippy, one of
Mayberry's fun girls in Ohio.
