Summary: NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE!!!
Review: To those of you who seem not to be bothered about fake theme music, scratch and hiss in the sound, and a less than DVD quality picture, you do all of the purists and true lovers of these shows a disservice. Purists like myself (and there are many tens of thousands of us) are not "whiners" and "malcontents", we simply realize what DVD technology is capable of, and that anytime a production company does not adhere to DVD standards and tries to trick the general public into thinking that they are getting the original "T.A.G.S.", then we rebel.

No matter the series, all we want is this: Release full-season box sets in chronological order and in a reasonable timeframe. Studio heads please note that you are dealing with conscientious consumers who are very well versed with all of the underhanded and egregious practices that many production companies employ to maximize profits. And remember that even if the quality of a release (sound, picture, original music, etc.) is addressed, if you simply place the individual DVD's in a simple slip case (i.e., the pitiful and overpriced "I LOVE LUCY" comes to mind - the sound and picture were superb, and it had the original intros and music, but Paramount Home Studios simply took the original nine "I LOVE LUCY" shrink-wrapped DVD's and placed them in a cardboard slip case. What a copout!!!), you are going to have a "no sale".

Well, this ripoff of "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" encompasses at least three of the aforementioned DVD no-no's: (1) Not a full-season box set, (2) Scratchy sound and video worse than VHS tape, and (3) Altered theme music.

I have no qualms about pricing as long as the quality issues discussed are present. But if the quality and originality issues are not addressed, then count me out.
