Special (1980)
This 11-minute special, a production of the U.S. Treasury Department, uses an abbreviated version of the opening credits of the series (crediting only Gary Sandy and Gordon Jump) but is not a full episode of the series, nor was it televised. It contains no laugh track and is part of a long-running series from the Treasury in which sitcoms were adapted into commercials for Savings Bonds. For reasons unknown, Universal City Studios claimed copyright on the film despite no involvement with the series (and, as a work for hire for the U.S. government, its copyright eligibility is questionable in and of itself).
