Yes, the first season of Mayberry R.F.D. will be
winging its way to DVD-dom on April 8th of the new year—there’s a rundown of
the details here. (The boss man has a sense of humor, because
he writes: “Sheriff Andy Taylor takes a backseat in the storylines,
establishing the sequel series.”
Backseat? He wasn’t even in the
freaking car most of the time.)
I also got a king-sized giggle out of the DVD cover, which
features Mike the Idiot Boy in all his cheese-loving glory (he looks like he
could have been Clint Howard’s brother on Gentle Ben), and an
uncharacteristically nonchalant Goober with an expression that says: “You
wanted this on DVD? Be careful what you wish for…” I’d like to think that Thrilling Days of Yesteryear’s popular Mayberry
Mondays feature played a small role in the eventual arrival of the
vanilla pudding of sitcoms to disc; I joked on Facebook that I was taking all
the credit for it, which prompted my blogging colleague Scott C. at World O’Crap
to retort: “Is ‘credit’ really the right word? The judges are looking for ‘blame,’
but will accept ‘responsibility.’”
