Mayberry Gold!

This is a wonderful treat for one of my favorite shows (Maybe my favorite)! THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW pilot for the series is here remastered and uncut, with a really cool animated opening and close, with a SANKA commercial at the end, featuring ANDY and DANNY. There are nine of the greatest episodes of the series in network format with the original end credits, bumpers and cast spots. I really love hearing Andy, Opie and Aunt Bea sing about POST cereals. If they released the whole series in network format, I would buy the whole thing over again. There is a clip from the 1962 network night, that Andy tells a story of Christopher Columbus as well. The 1963 CBS Opening night clip features Don Knotts, Andy Griffith, Danny Thomas, Phil Silvers, Jack Benny and Lucille Ball! This is well worth picking up for any fan of the series!
