This is from TV Shows on DVD. Sounds like there is a good chance that Mayberry RFD and Gomer are coming to DVD!!
The 8th and final season of The Andy Griffith Show is set to come to DVD before the end of the year, according to our friends in the home video industry who pass on such rumors and gossip to us. The 30 episodes that wrap up the series are supposedly in the works to hit store shelves on December 12th. That is, by the way, the same date that we were told to expect the first season DVDs of the spin-off series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.!! And speaking of spin-offs, don't forget that The Andy Griffith Show finished with one! The final episode of "TAGS" aired on 4/1/68, and re-ran in primetime on 9/16/68. A week later, on 9/23/68, Mayberry R.F.D. debuted, picking up right where the last Andy Griffith Show episode - called "Mayberry R.F.D." (and not by coincidence, either!) - left off. Look for guest starring shots from Jack Albertson, Harry Dean Stanton, Alan Oppenheimer, a VERY pre-WKRP Howard Hesseman, an even-younger Teri Garr, Ken Berry and the cast of Mayberry R.F.D., and a single-episode return of the late great Don Knotts as "Barney Fife"! Stay tuned, and as soon as Paramount Home Entertainment makes this date official and thereby validates our info, we'll have more details for you! _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
