Great Mystery and Fun Episode

This was a great episode for many reasons. First, Don Knotts is brought on as Matlock's new neighbor, Les Calhoun. His character is similar to his role of Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show." He becomes overly excited when certain events take place. I'm glad they did have him do too much of the fumbling and bumbling he did on TAGS.

The mystery is a good one. It's not clear who did it, so the viewer is brought into the story with the characters. I prefer this type of mystery where we do not know who committed the crime.

The weakest part of this episode was the courtroom. It seemed to be mostly a formality. However, that didn't detract from the enjoyment of the story.
