Aunt Bee overshoots her capabilities when she agrees to take a baby for a week. She can't get it to stop crying, even though other family members have more success. We meet Alvy Moore, who was the hilarious Hank Kimball on "Green Acres." Anyway, it's a pretty dull episode.

What's funny about a crying baby? Unfortunately, not much...

A sincere effort by the regular cast members can't overcome poor writing- and a weak, ill-conceived plot premise- in this clunker from Season 6.
Watching a 30 minute television show about a baby that won't stop crying is about as much fun as sitting next to one on a long flight from New York to Los Angeles. Enough said about that.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first- or the last- time during the series' color seasons that TAGS regulars are stuck with a bad script and have to struggle their way through it.
On a more positive note, "Green Acres" fans will enjoy seeing talented character actor Alvy Moore ("Hank Kimball") make a brief but funny appearance as a door-to-door salesman.

Can't picture this is on anybody's rewatch soon list. The baby crying theme was insurmountable. Little better than I remember. Not much. Good to see Alvy Moore. Best parts were Goober not talking until age 5, and the epilogue with Helen (Aneta Corsaut) singing. Any kind of over done baby crying or dog barking never works. One of TAGS worst episodes. Its claim to fame is how epically bad it is similarly to fellow clunker "Guest in the House".
