  • Aunt Bee gets Kidnapped!

    A very charming episode that misses only Barney Fife's appearance. The scene at the dining room is hysterical as Aunt Bee watches them all eat. As Briscoe becomes infatuated with Aunt Bee and literally falls all over himself trying to woo her, Aunt Bee is so cute and funny trying to remain proper while finding the whole thing very unsettling. The musical numbers are quite good--and we even get to see Opie sing! Although this episode is not too well written, it is still defininitely entertaining and enjoyable.moreless

    • Briscoe: Thank you Miss Bee, your kisses are prized and highly valuable... but they just ain't worth the pain. Edit
    • Briscoe: I'll put on my square wheels so things don't move too fast. Edit
    • (At the Darlings' dinner table Aunt Bee is correcting Briscoe's manners) Briscoe: (reaches for food, Aunt Bee hits him with spoon) Ow! Dog! For a pretty woman that reads rose poetry, you sure pack a mean spoon. Aunt Bee: Don't you raise your voice at the table. Briscoe: I'll raise my voice, I'll raise hogs, I'll raise whatever I want to raise – this is MY table. (Aunt Bee hits him with spoon) That tears it. That just tears it! (he goes over to Andy) Come on. Come on, take me away. Andy: What are you talkin' about? Briscoe: Clap them handcuffs on me, I'm breach a' promisin'. Andy: You're not! Briscoe: Yes I am. This is gone just far enough. I can take some manners, and I can take some cleanin' up, and I can take a bossy mouth. But, I ain't about to be beat to death with no spoon! Edit
