I remember it well too...crazy it's that long ago already!
.
I was on holidays at my Grandparent's place in Collingwood Ontario and we were all gathered around the old B&W set...me upset to be missing my daily doses of Mayberry, the Clampets and Green Acres!
.
I remember after they landed the commentator saying 'sorry folks, looks like it's not made of cheese'...my Gramps and I got a kick outa' that!
