Incidentally, producer Sheldon Leonard actually got up and walked out early on in the fashioning of that episode (he just didn't think it was funny). The rest of them discussed it and decided to carry on. Next week Sheldon apologized to all of them. (Even a guy with a track record like that can be out to sea with this stuff.)
He produced the Andy Griffith show too as well as Gomer Pyle USMC
And now I can't help thinking of a Dick Van Dyke episode (way back when).
That was the best episode... Rob was hilarious... Just a great show in general
