Notes/Trivia[]
- Floyd mentions his wife while talking to Goober in the barbershop.
- When Andy and Opie exit the courthouse to the outside, as they are closing the door, in the doorway you see the rifle gun rack as if it was 3 feet from the front door. Familiar interior shots of the courthouse usually show that there is a great distance from the front door to the gun rack.
- Fishing Season in Mayberry officially starts at 6:30 am.
- Goober's secret bait he plans to use to catch "Old Sam" is a piece of a banana peel with red yarn.
- The fishing spot chosen for this episode is Tucker's Lake although most of the other times Mayberrians have talked about fishing at Myer's Lake.
- Andy notes that the fishing season starts at 6:30 the next day. In the last episode, Opie was going fishing (out of season) and Andy was complaining it was too early to get up.
Goofs[]
Music[]
- Andy appears to be whistling the song "Old Dan Tucker" while sitting in the courthouse with Opie.
