Color Episodes

I am assuming that METV will go back to the 1st season once the last season is completed? I hope they leave it on at 9pm. It has taken right at a year to go through the entire series.

I watched an older episode on Freevee today, and it included the Kellogg's billboard. Both the drive and the song went on a bit longer.

The DVD I have, has both the Kellogg's and Winston Cigarettes openings. When Jed is pointing it's at the billboard for Kellogg's Corn Flakes. It sems like the Winston Cigarettes are on the side of a semi. It's been a while since I have seen them.

Those extended sponsor openings are on the DVDs that were taken from the Paul Henning estate masters. They are complete and came out on MPI years ago.

He owned the complete episodes as shown on CBS. Although the episodes themselves (season 1 and part of season 2) went into public domain, they are basically worthless since most of the original music, including the theme music, is copyrighted. I could only find Volume 1 so I don't know how many DVDs MPI put out, but I know the one I have, Volume 1, has only black and white episodes on it.

I will have to check but I think I have season's 1 & 2. Did not realize they were from Paul Henning's estate. I love those openings. Throughout the series, Jethro would occasionally have a "Jethro bowl" of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

I'd love to see those, I never noticed them in the many times I've seen those episodes.

It's just on the DVD set for the 1st two seasons. You can find the opening on Youtube. Kellogg's Best To You.

Here's a link to a YouTube reaction video for Episode 2, showing the Winston semi at the opening and Jed smoking a Winston cigarette at the end:
