Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe gag in which Barney points at items on the menu so as not to let the waiter know that he doesn't speak French was created by Don Knotts himself. Years later, he would recreate the bit on an episode of Three's Company (1977).
- GoofsAndy and Barney leave town without leaving anyone in charge during their absence (not even a comment about Mayberry being safer with no one in charge than with Barney in charge) and the business with the commissioner does not require both of them.

Featured review
A Don Knotts masterpiece
Always a favorite TAGS episode of mine. Each Don Knotts classic scene is true genius. Almost like a best of Barney tribute in one episode. Laughed the hardest Barney Fife "MD", and the epilogue with Barney hiding in the closet announcing "there's nothing in there" when he feels Berdoli poses no threat. Alan Melvin doesn't say a lot in this episode but has a tremendously funny influence throughout. If this isn't a 10 star TAGS episode nothing is.
