At just 2:34, barely past the opening theme, the classic crossed arm Barney stare appears. And, Barney, in his deep knowledge of relationships and child-raising, of course, has something to say about Andy being both the mother and father to Opie. That Barney shares his uninformed opinion surprises no one.
This time Barney pulls what is close to an event. Assembling the most attractive single women in mass at Andy's house, Barney believes he can help Andy find Mrs. Right. Actually, Barney did good on one hand, but, hey, he's Barney and the whole is somehow always less than the parts. Andy takes offense.
While we've already met new school teacher, Helen Crump, this episode makes it clear the series will be throwing Andy and Helen together as Andy's new love interest. Barney shows his male chauvinism in hilarious fashion. Undernourished, uninformed, and uneducated is no way to go through life...unless you're Barney Fife and we wouldn't want it another way. And this is what makes this episode rise as Andy and Barney are at odds and the yin and yang is pretty entertaining.
