THE 40 ACRES BACKLOT, wher TAGS and a lot of other shows and movies were filmed, is no longer standing. It was torn down years ago, I think sometime in the 70s.

The Andy Griffith Show was filmed entirely in Hollywood via Desilu Productions on the site of the former RKO Pictures lot on the Paramount Pictures lot. Many exterior shots were indeed film at Selznick International Pictures (also known as Forty Acres). You're also right, Treky that the area was torn down in 1976 for redevelopment and is known today as the southern expansion of the Hayes Industrial Tract.
