A note on video quality, music, and running times...
In most cases, the video quality of these DVDs usually isn't as good compared to what you see on television since TV stations are supplied prints directly from the studio. The familiar "The Fishin' Hole" tune used as the opening/ closing theme music holds a separate copyright so some companies will replace it with their own music if they don't want to pay for use of the original.
Also, some of the episodes may not be complete because, over the years, TV prints have been edited down to allow room for more commercials. This could mean the exclusion of the epilogue (which is usually the first thing to go) or just a severely edited show. A DVD from Madacy Entertainment contains a version of "Andy's English Valet" that was edited down to a mere 16 minutes! A complete original episode should run between 24 and a half and 25 and a half minutes.
