This episode was one of the most hilarious I have seen in the whole series, almost a black comedy. The domineering housekeeper Harriet who serves the Mayberry family gets killed with a roast thermometer firmly in her back soon after the first guests arrive on the day of the wedding of Mrs Fletcher nephew Grady to the rich Donna Mayberry. The juxtaposition of the dialogue of some of the guests with what is actually happening makes for some irony and laughs especially when everyone is searching for the missing Harriet. At the same time Grady and Donna are bickering over Donna's father (Franklin) hold on their lives while Harriet's body is being moved from one place to another and Maisie (Donna's mother) is trying to keep her head high in this mayhem It falls to Mrs Fletcher to solve this whodunit so that the wedding can continue. In my opinion this episode could have been blown to a full feature film/farce while fleshing out more the characters, it is that good.
