I'm enjoying the color episodes I haven't seen in quite a while and
thanks to the series DVD's, noticed two new items. In the opening
shot of "The Statue" the camera has a close-up of Howard's arm with
Andy's gavel in his hand sitting at Andy's desk and if you look
closely, there's a thin telephone book between his arm and the
telephone. With the sharp DVD resolution, it looks like the writing
on the cover says Mount Airy, so it appears that it's possible Andy
had a Mt. Airy directory on set. The filming of this episode would be
close to the time frame when he returned to Mt. Airy to move his
parents to California.
In the next episode "Helen, the Authoress" when it's mentioned she
and Andy are going to Richmond, the scene transitions to Richmond and
the publisher's office, a color photo of what's supposed to be the
skyline of Richmond is shown, however, that is clearly a 1960's
color photo of Charleston, SC with its recognizable church steeples
and Charleston styled homes.
I don't think these have been mentioned before.
