Friends of WBMUTBB,

Over the last several weeks of watching TAGS I began to notice how many
times the show used what I call "mirror shots" or "reverse angle". Where for
reasons that baffle me, the scene, or parts of the scene, are reversed ...
backwards. I wonder if it was done on purpose or by mistake. For example:

1. When Opie is in the court house talking to Andy about his allowance. It
is noticable from the background that the gun rack is on the right and the
file cabinet is on the left. Reverse of what it should be.
2. When Opie gets a new bike for getting all "A's" and it's hidden behind
the couch ... When Opie is looking at it, the bell on the handle bars and
the fire place mantle are in reverse.
3. When Andy is talking to Opie about not coming to the court house because
of the evil influence, Andy's hair is parted on the opposite side of his
head.
4. When Ben Weaver approaches Andy, Barney, and Burt the Merchant of
Mayberry on the sidewalk, it's made to look like he approaches them from the
viewers right ... but the shot has the theater in the background which
should be to the viewers left.

Do you know of any others. Any thoughts as to why this happened?
