I don't get to often! Around here, in the Philadelphia area, we have something called MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television). It is basically a channel with all the good old shows from the 60s. As I was Googling something, or someone I saw on one of the episodes, I came across that little tidbit. Things weren't staged back then the way they are now. Sometimes it was just happenstance. That is the case here. What are the odds they would be filming the pilot introduction hours after JFK passed away? The second season was shot in color and had a different intro.
