It's like all my past traumas coming back to haunt me.<br /><br /><i>Back home, I used to lift a hog clear over my head!</i><br /><br />Ha!<br /><br />Hey, Dave Ketchum! He played a skeeve on a sitcom in the 70s, maybe MTM; I don't remember which show, but everytime I saw him as Agent 13 I'd shout "SKEEVE!"<br /><br />Also, my love for Howard continues unabated.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250238254417726987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-21176763214380447952012-02-28T03:56:46.791-05:002012-02-28T03:56:46.791-05:00I wonder how long it took Ken Berry to get a sense...I wonder how long it took Ken Berry to get a sense of deja vu when he started reading the script for this episode. In Goober's favor, he didn't end up in the hospital after getting into a tussel with a teddy bear.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing Mayberry back to Mondays for all of us, Mr. Thrilling Days of Yesteryear!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136938300859457956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-30814532395659493252012-02-28T01:49:41.863-05:002012-02-28T01:49:41.863-05:00Who said 2012 was going to be a bust?

Reviving MRFD has restored my faith in my fellow couch potato... like Classic Becky, i nearly spit-taked my Arnold's milkshake with the milkmaid snark. Another appearance of fish-face and all the darts at howard and doddering ol' tool fixer Emmett warmed the cockles. Who needs an official crappy dvd-r release of this classic? Gimme my Maverick and you're weekly cheapshots anyday.

This was a lot of fun ... of course, my favorite part of your synopsis: "Sam pores through a magazine (the latest copy of Milk Maidens Gone Wild, I’m guessing..."

I suppose comedy writers were wrestling with their fears of the coming women's lib movement.<br /><br />And that just made me wonder - what would happen if Maude Findlay ever visited Mayberry.....?Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com
