A syndicated version of the '66-67 color opening credits, guest starring Don Knotts. Note the "Raleigh" police cars in the opening first few seconds following the credits, 1963 Dodge sedans (most likely L.A. Police stock footage, the building resembles the station used for Adam-12). Also, if you listen closely, you can tell this opening version of the whistled theme was made from a cut of the 1964 closing credits that I have also posted. Note: Fair use and educational value on TV History are the purpose here.
Don's name is right at the beginning, even before "The Andy Griffith Show". Maybe they're trying to hook viewers who otherwise would tune out on a color episode.
