Remember how much they used to smoke on that show?


Cigarette companies were big sponsors of television shows in that era, and would often encourage the writers, directors, etc to include scenes, in which the stars smoked. Even Andy Griffith did it. Moreover, the actors would play their tv roles in commercials for cigarettes during their shows.

Oh yeah, I remember the cigarette commercials well, Klyd.
