ANSWERS LAST TIME OUT:

1/ According to several video documentaries, and published reports, the Beverly Hillbillies, which ran from 1962 to 1971, was shot with only one camera. (Oh, all right, I said 'cameras,' if you want to get sticky.)

2/ Well, harry was close, but Sammy told Archie that in 1972, African Americans "were in," so he had a "kissing clause," in his contract, which forced him to kiss "white celebrities."

3/ Yes Harry, it was Jim Varney, and the song went like this: "I don't smoke no dope, I prefer RC to Coke, like my whiskey and my dog, and my mom. Got a pair of dice hangin' from the mirror in my Ford, STP stickers stuck everywhere."

4/ The most major difference of the Hogan's Heroes pilot episode was that it was filmed in black and white. All following episodes were in colour.

5/ Wow, does Fred know his stuff: yes the original Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1962 WAS one hour and forty-five , or 105 minutes. The actual show was 90 minutes, but all NBC affiliates were provided with an extra 15 minutes of the Tonight Show Band. Many stations did not take the extra 15 minutes, and NBC soon dropped the musical intro.

ANSWERS TO BEATLES Q'S:

Thanks to Fred, who was 4 for 5.

1/ According to the book, Their hearts Went Boom, the Fabs-en route to their first Canuck gig in Vancouver-touched down for refueling at Winnipeg, Manitoba.

2/ As Fred noted, although Beatlemania-a knock off of the UK With the Beatles- appeared first in Canada, it was actually the Fabs' second LP, and their first Please, Please Me, appeared several months later, as Twist and Shout. In addition, neither LP was offered in stereo in the 60s.

3/ Yes again, Fred, the first Canadian Beatles single was Love Me Do, and it stiffed,initially

4/ Although this may be splitting hairs, the first EX-Beatle to perform a concert in Canada WAS in fact George Harrison in 1974. When John Lennon brought the Plastic Ono Band to Toronto in September, 1969, he was STILL officially A Beatle, riding high on the Abbey Road release.

5/ According to no less an expert that Bruce Spizer-and Fred-NO Beatles Butcher was ever released in Canada, although some will swear they either bought one-Oh why did not buy that!-or at least saw them in the shoppes.
