The Memorex sleeve says nothing useful. The tape says everything: The Andy Griffith Show back to back, trivia bumpers during the commercial breaks, and a full set of early 90s TBS ads that have not turned up anywhere online.
Why This Tape Is Rare
The trivia segments are the thing. TBS ran custom bumpers for this marathon, Andy Griffith trivia cards between breaks, and those bumpers appear to be virtually unarchived. The show itself is everywhere. The broadcast is not.
About This Tape
BASF T-120, EP mode, 360 minutes. Recorded approximately January 31, 1993. Single source: TBS superstation broadcast.
Found inside a mismatched Memorex sleeve. The tape itself is in good shape.
