This easy going, yet very enjoyable episode, has Aunt Bee(Francis Bavier)visiting Gomer at the base unexpectedly, I think. Right off the bat, she's unhappy with the cleanliness of the barracks, as she starts mopping the floor, much to Sgt. Carter's chagrin. Speaking of Sgt. Carter, it seems that Aunt Bee is very critical of the way he treats Gomer, constantly yelling and berating him as usual. Most of the time, Gomer deserves it! Anyway, as she's getting ready to leave the base, much to Sgt. Carter's joy, she comes across a TV reporter, played by. Tommy Noonan, who's interviewing folks about something that I don't recall. On a side note, this was Noonan's final acting credit, as he would pass away just 7 months later. He manages to talk to Aunt Bee, and she mentions how awful her friend Gomer's been treated by the mean Sgt. Carter, and she accepts an invite to appear on Johnny Clark's(Noonan)show to talk about it. Let's just say that Sgt. Carter's superior hears about this, and is not happy about it. I won't spoil the rest of it, but some is predictable, although the ending is a nice touch, especially seeing an friend.
