The Andy Griffith Show: Stranger in Town (1960)
Season 1, Episode 12
2/10
Pivotal in that casting needs to improve
22 September 2022
One of the best moves in TV history next episode will be recasting Floyd the Barber with legendary Howard McNear. This dud episode must of motivated the TAGS creative team to pursue better casting and avoid the generic types. One and done Floyd (William Baldwin) gave a valiant effort. But his humor was forced and he didn't possess any comedic brilliance like HM. Knockout Lucy Matthews (Marlene Willis) lit up the screen in the small time she was on. All the other secondary cast was blah & and vanilla. The rediculous script was so stupid it was insurmountable. Stale Ed Sawyer (William Lanteau) was one of TAGS episode screen time dominant most forgettable characters. Other than Marlene Willis not much here. Barney's sprechen sie Deutsch was probably the only humor. Andy's preachy tirade lambasting the town's people when they were in the right ended a stinker episode.
