Featured review
Fine episode.
This episode of The Real McCoys is one of my very favorites. Most any episode that features Pepino prominently is going to be a favorite of mine as Pepino was my very favorite character on the show (with George McMichael being my second pick). If you are familiar with the Andy Griffith show episode "Barney's Replacement", this episode of the McCoys has the same theme.
Poor Pepino is worried that he is going to lose his job. The McCoys need a temporary farm hand to help them with the harvesting. A man who is hired, Who goes by "Professor", an ex-teacher, surprises everyone. I won't give the story away, but you can probably guess the gist of it. There is plenty of comedy throughout the episode, but my very favorite part is the private conversation between Grandpa and the Professor in the barn. The Professor's romantic description of his life as a wanderer stirs the heart of Grandpa, as it did for me also. Vaughn Taylor does a wonderful job as the Professor throughout the program, but especially in this scene. You feel a lot of admiration and respect for the Professor. Grandpa is very touching in this scene also. With love and admiration he tells the Professor "God bless you". Though he would love to join the Professor in his travels, he knows that is impossible. Again, a very touching scene, and a very fine episode of The Real McCoys.
