Thank you for posting. We live in North Carolina now and I watch this show whenever I want to escape all the nonsense of today's "modern" world. We also visited Mount Airy, A. Griffith's home town a few years back with our children taking a side trip to "Pilot Mountain." BEST WISHES ANDY --- THANK YOU FOR ALL THE JOY, WARMTH AND POSITIVE VALUES.
Incidentally, "THE TWILIGHT ZONE" was also sponsored by General Foods that season, for Sanka (although Rod Serling never appeared in any "endorsements" for Sanka at the end of the show). At the very end, before the credit "Produced in association with the CBS Television Network" was shown, a "sponsor's tag" featured Andy and Opie fishing in a rowboat on Myers' Lake, as announcer Marvin Miller intoned, "Be sure to see the new 'ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW', Monday night- over most of these stations".
@fromthesidelines speaking of "the zone". I believe the prisoner on the very first episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE was the same one that played Jim Lindsey on TAGS and later Roscoe P. Coltrane on THE DUKES OF HAZZARD.
General Foods was Andy's sponsor during the entire series...and most of their products [Sanka, Jell-O Pudding, Post cereals, Gaines-Burgers, et. al.] were "pitched" during the show (they usually "rotated" which product sustained the episode), and in "integrated commercials" featuring Andy and his cast at the end of the show. If you're curious as to what the 1964 "CBS daytime repeat" title sequence {"ANDY OF MAYBERRY"} looked like, visit Television Obscurities' website.
At the end of the show Andy would say, "I appreciate it and good night."
