Tag scenes usually run 10-20 seconds and they are right before the closing credits.

I only seen two tag scenes so i can't give you an example. Which is why I'm looking forward to seeing All in the Family on TV LAND.

But what are they?
Advertising a product, preview for next week, etc.?

Thanks!

No it's a 10-20 second scene that has something to do with the episode storyline. For example, when Archie was pretending to have a back ache so he wouldn't lose to Irene in playing pool, Irene's husband tricked Archie by dropping a dollar bill on the floor and Archie went to pick it up and Frank and Irene starts laughing. Then the commercial comes on.

After the commercial here is the Tag Scene right before the closing credits which is (35 seconds)


Archie Walks in the House and takes his coat off, and

Mike Says to Gloria: "He lost"

Then Edith Comes down the steps and says: "Frank just called." I'm so Happy for you" I hope you thanked Irene"


Archie says: "FOR WHAT"?

Edith says: "For Fixing your back"

Archie Says: "She didn't do that"

Edith says: "That's funny, Frank said she straighten you out"


THEN the crowd laughs and the closing credits begin.













Archie coming home from the pool hall, an Edith says "wasn't that nice of Irene to help you out with your back? And Archie Said

It's also called a CODA.

I can make the assumption that "it's also called a CODA" means that's another name for "tag scene."

Main Entry: co·da
Pronunciation: 'kO-d&
Function: noun
Etymology: Italian, literally, tail, from Latin cauda
Date: circa 1753
1 a : a concluding musical section that is formally distinct from the main structure b : a concluding part of a literary or dramatic work
2 : something that serves to round out, conclude, or summarize yet has its own interest

I have seen CODA's listed for Roseanne on TV Tome... it's usually like a Tag scene.
