The Andy Griffith Show: Aunt Bee's Big Moment (1968)
Bee's Big Moments
Bee is upset because Goober won a pancake eating contest and Helen won a spelling bee? This is the same woman who had her own cooking show, won a Hollywood game show, and caught a crook through jury duty. My my, how soon we forget our accomplishments. Aunt Bee's facial expressions while flying are priceless. Goobers's need to mention those pancakes every five seconds becomes annoying.
The Andy Griffith Show: Goober Goes to an Auto Show (1968)
Tangled Webs We Weave
For a town with an honest reputation, the characters habitually lie and deceive each week. Every time a girl walks by Andy, he lies to Helen about it and gets in deeper trouble. Here, we see Goober lying about his chain of gas stations up the Eastern seaboard all to impress that idiot, Roy(the actor went on to produce some quality shows of the 70s, 80s, and 90s). He ends up blowing a wad of money only to discover Roy is still a grease monkey. Meanwhile, Goob sulks in the car like a baby. But, he shows himself to be the bigger man by not acting like old Roy. I have to question the ending of this episode. Why is a grown man, nearly 40, walking around blowing on a whistle?
The Andy Griffith Show: Goober Makes History (1966)
Hilarious!
Perhaps one of the funniest quotes of the series: Floyd(About Goober)- "Only this morning, he didn't know which side to butter his bread on. A few hours later, he's a genius." Howard cutting paper dolls as Goober stood before the class had me rolling. This is another example of how simple minded Goob was so susceptible to suggestions, similar to episode 7 of season 7: Mind Over Matter. Unfortunately, no matter how confident you are, you still need actual knowledge. The problem wasn't that the other characters wanted him to remain dumb. It was the overbearing, obnoxious way that Goober became a know- it-all that couldn't go 3 seconds without blabbering about things that nobody wanted to hear about that drove them to hide. In the end I don't understand why he shaved as it improved his looks tremendously and made him look less like a...well, a goober.
The Andy Griffith Show: Opie's Girlfriend (1966)
Correction
Cynthia was correct that it was not pass interference. Pass interference occurs when the defensive player hits the receiver before the ball arrives. She has every right to catch the ball before him. Opie was just upset that he lost to her...again. I believe that Opie didn't hit her back out of fear, not because she was a girl. One of the better color episodes.
The Andy Griffith Show: The Ball Game (1966)
Picture worth a 1000 words
At the end of this episode, you see a picture of Opie clearly sliding safely underneath the tag. However, if you pause the show during the slide, you'll see easily that the Mount Pilot catcher blocked Opie from the plate and tagged him out. It doesn't even appear that Opie actually touched home because of how well the catcher did. Yet, we are shown a pic at the end that was clearly manufactured for the story line and not based on what Andy really saw.
