Interesting hypothesis, Ken, and I hope others will shed light on that
phrase. However, it's ironic how often "truth-telling" Andy stretches the
truth (though usually to protect those he loves). I watched "Aunt Bee's
Crowing Glory" (among other episodes) on tvland.com this morning. In that
episode,

In the color years, both the opening and closing themes were in E flat. The
opening theme was also shortened considerably, presumably so they could squeeze
in one more commercial. As far as an explanation goes ... I don't know.
Perhaps Mr. Hagen's aim was to make the closing theme sound more
HI gang!!
Don't tell Andy but I just saw Miss Crump on Bonanza, sweet on Adam Cartwright.
Must be a part of her Kansas past (TAGS episode 244). For that matter don't
let Mrs. Pendleton find out.

Well, have you heard the media gushing over our president because he killed a
fly? Is that amazing, or what? (I mean the media reaction, not the killing of
the fly.) As for me, I much prefer the attitude of our beloved Bernard P.

...that's an interesting observation you made. Putting in my two cents worth,
I would say that the phrase "to tell you the truth" or some variation of it was

Maybe Opie was subconsciously thinking that the more sophisticated/expensive
the perfume, the more subtle the scent.

Wow, Loren really went the extra mile in figuring out the keys of the two
versions of the TAGS theme. I too had noticed that the intro and outro were
slightly different; if you watch TAGS on DVD and use the "play all" feature,
you'll hear the outro of one show right before the intro of the new show
