MB, along that line (and we're the same age), I insisted I remembered when, during the closing credits of The Flintstones, after the saber-tooth tiger pet locked Fred out at night and he pounded on the door shouting "Wilma!", the camera "panned back" to show all of Bedrock with bedroom windows lighting up. No one, even from are age, said it never happened.
Well, when the show went into reruns and syndication around '63-or-so and became one of the first programs to switch to color, only the colored episodes were aired. The first couple black-and-white seasons went into the vault. Decades later, when some cable network decided to rurun the series it stated that, for the first time, it would show the first black-and-white seasons and there it was - the closing credits as I remembered them. I was vindicated.
