Floyd Lawson: Amazing! Only this morning, he didn't know which side to butter his bread on. A few hours later, he's a genius.
Featured review
We see a glimpse of the real George Lindsey
Fascinating episode. George Lindsey dumps the imbecile Goober persona. After the townspeople and especially Floyd prop up Goober's ego he's all of a sudden a genius. A classic Floyd (Howard McNear) scene when he first sees the beard and convinces Goober his thoughts are brilliant. Later on Floyd delivers one of TAGS best lines,"This morning he didn't know which side to butter has bread on and now he's a genius". A terrific performance by George Lindsey. His gait now a strut, his speech, raised chin without the Goober body droop. Funny how the whole town made over a simple beard. Howard (Jack Dodson) used his "Want to buy a ship in a bottle" disorientated expression while cutting paper dolls. Hilarious Goober meeting a ducking Helen in the street and Howard in the sheriff's office. One of the top episodes of the series. And Ha-why-a is the 50th state not the 49th.
