Nice to see the complete episode. Interesting how the show actually had a finale when most shows back then did not( The Fugitive being a major exception). Back then most final episodes were just regular stories that could have happened at ANY point during the run. Finales didn't really become more common until the 70's, with shows like Mary Tyler Moore.

No,not the last but many more to come

@vividwatch47 ... But As I said the episode aired out of sequence, and "three more" aired afterwards! The last one aired "Betty Jo's Business" was actually held over from earlier in the season, as it bears a MCMLXIX(1969) copyright, in stead of MCMLXX(1970). I guess the CBS execs didn't do their homework.

@vividwatch47 ... Uncle Joe volunteers to take the train on it's final voyage. The episode has clips(as the train rolls along) from previous seasons, as the gang sadly reminisces all the good times with The Cannonball. But a document is found,that the bad guy(not Homer) but a different villain) has to sign to keep the train going for ANOTHER 75 years.

Floyd then unretires and all ends happily,plus a surprising twist, Joe had ORIGINALLY engineered the Cannonball before himself and Charley!...

@vividwatch47 I stand corrected on one of the shows I mentioned. That being "Petticoat Junction" It did have a final show. But CBS screwed up and aired many of the episodes of the second half of season 7 out of sequence. In the final show "Last Train To Pixley" the Cannonball is once again in danger of being shut down for good, Floyd is retiring, and with no one else to engineer the train...

@cmulwee001, there was also the case with "The Guns Of Will Sonnett", in which Will and his grandson Jeff finally find the elusive James Sonnett (Will's son and Jeff's father), in which they convince him to give up his loner ways and all three of them go to a town and become lawmen. Unfortunately, whether this was the final episode or they were going to continue the series with the three characters remains unknown.

@vividwatch47 hahaha! i always thought Carter looked like a USMC bulldog

[thecolaratlady]

And knowing that Frank died of a heart attack, preminition maybe?

Ever notice that the underlying music for TV-shows in the 60's was often only with wind instruments?

Note that the hubcaps on the 1960 Dodge that gets wrecked are NOT the same that were on Sgt. Carter's car.
