Pretty steep price for two episodes.
Is there a way to buy just volume 1? That would pretty well cover what interests me here other than not having the opening episode of Mayberry RFD where Andy and Helen get married.
Looks to even have all the guest episodes with Barney, which would be nice...
Or just put in a static title card, at least for tv airings.
Networks have long not been not shy against butchering the end credits, so it would hardly be a shock to see it migrate to the openings of classic shows as well. I've already seen them shortened in the past like The Mary Tyler Moore...
In everything I ever saw, that bonus disc from the original complete series release included the Make Room For Daddy episode and Return To Mayberry.
I wonder why Opie Joins the Marines is never mentioned then? Seems like only a handful of retailers I've never heard of bothered to note it in...
Hate to say it, but I'm thinking you bought a bootleg for three reasons.
I'm no expert on this series on DVD, but I've never heard of that episode of Gomer Pyle ever having been included on a DVD release for this series. It's also a strange inclusion to toss into a newly minted season one set...
While I agree that's one of the better color episodes, Otis seems a bit out of character on that episode. He's a weekend drunk in the black & white seasons, but also characterized as a fine citizen during the week. His drinking doesn't seem to ever cause him or those around him any real harm...
Thanks for uploading it, even though CBS decided to play dirty.
I imagine it's one of three things. An automated monitoring program flagged it, someone at CBS doesn't know what's what (Not a shocker since sometimes they don't know what they even own, let alone when they've let something lapse...
I thought subsequent season sets lacked sponsor segments because they never had them? That's what the season 4 review at DVDTalk claimed, at least.
I always took them for their word and assumed it to be correct, although their reviewer's memories are often lacking like the guy that insisted...
So even on this public domain set, it's not complete?
Considering it's public domain, some adventurous Andy Griffith fan should piece it together with the best available sources and post it on YouTube.
If the publishers can't manage to make it complete or as close to it as possible, this is a...
Looking forward to hearing your impressions of this public domain set. I'm tempted if you're pleased with it, to order it myself. The price is certainly right to help fix one of the most flawed episodes on my CBS set.
I've also been watching a lot of this classic lately and have been revisiting...
Wanted to correct myself and apologize for my erroneous claim. The pillarboxing is there after all, I just apparently somehow never noticed it until the other day.
I usually watch MeTV on a nice 4:3 Sony Trinitron CRT and their letterboxing doesn't hurt the visual quality any like this practice does on widescreen displays. You lose the top and bottom of the frame, but in essence nothing is zoomed in under these circumstances like it is on a 16:9 display...
I'll admit that the tlc that CBS invested into their Blu-Ray's was tremendous, but when you could buy on release day something like a season of The Dick Van Dyke Show with the same level of care and visual/audio quality for less than half of what CBS was asking for their releases, it was doomed...
