Featured review
Darlings more annoying than funny here
The Dillard's music highlights the episode. Not any big laughs. Charlene forcing herself on Andy, and Briscoe's (Denver Pyle) quips were mildly funny. But the episode could of used missing Don Knotts' humor. There'll be better Darling episodes coming up.
