Otis and Howard--Quite the Team

Putting aside a man who is utterly fixated on alcohol and gets drunk every weekend, this episode had a few high spots. Howard is getting to be a consummate pest, bugging Andy about details and wanting to be one of the gang. The scenes in the shack were pretty decent. The bad guys spin their wheels, not taking an opportunity to escape. The stuff with the water glass is ridiculous but fun.
