The ones I'd like to catch are the early 1/2 hr. and hr. ones in black and white when the show was a little more violent.

Its on while I'm at work on TVLand from 11-3, but I found out they're also on a little known western channel called INSP recently and they are showing a lot of the very early episodes in black & white, when Burt Reynolds was still on the cast... you're right, those older ones are just a little bit darker

I find it funny how they clowned up Festus quite a bit more in the color era, he didn't start out quite so over the top hillbilly
