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.
