why was this not not not on the dvd's i bought?

Do you have the original opening in B&W or Color? Or maybe the original Color closing? thanks!

Someone at Viacom. or whoever owns the show now needs to put forth a restoration effort to restore these end credits, as they are much more entertaining than the boring "barracks" closing used for syndication. Surely there must be a version of these credits without the sponsor logo.
Someone had the original color end credit sequence up at one time, and it's even more crazy than this one! Anyone agree that these credits should be restored? I think so myself.

Thank you so much!
-
@terentii I've recently posted the longer "syndicated" version of the Gomer Pyle closing theme if you are still interested.
-
I'm truly enjoying these old clips! This is classic tv at it's best. I'm too young to remember this closing of Gomer Pyle. it's cool how they did their own commercials too. Keep posting!
-
Did The color episodes also end this way originally?
-
These credits are from the episode "The Feudin' Pyles" [January 22, 1965].
Again, I have to say, this original closing is a pure gem. Thanks for posting it Chuck!

@jed6271 You're so welcome and thanks for your own terrific postings.
BTW, I'll be putting up another rarity shortly that I hope you will like.

I appreciate the nostalgia of the old commercials, but I really wish someone would post the "longer" Gomer Pyle closing, which contained the full-length version of the march. It is a really snappy tune, one I'm surprised the USMC hasn't adopted.
I know there have been veterans' parades where the "Hogan's Heroes" theme, another great march, was played, and the theme from the second season of "F Troop" is a brilliant cavalry march!

I would post the longer version, but it's sitting undernearth my tapes of "Faraway Hill".
