The men folk are caught by surprise in this musical episode.

7.1

By DaveSPete, Jun 29, 2006

In this episode, a record man comes to town to record the locals playing their music. It's a nice show case of some good music.

When it turns out that the man could make some serious money on the sale of his record, the men want to invest. Andy suspects that they've been set up by a confidence trickster.

Though I'm sure I've telegraphed it, (you'll have to see for yourself what happens), the men get caught in an unexpected twist.moreless

Mayberry sings!

6.5

By lstaltari, Dec 23, 2005

This is a so-so episode, where the idea is a good one (a record producer comes along to record authentic and new music), but for some reason or another the outcome doesn\'t produce any real laughs or deep imprint. It\'s one of those forgettable entries,where nothing really stands out. The writing is not the usual sharp and crisp style. Elinor Donahue, Ellie, also begins to look a little forced and not as sympathetic as usual.moreless

  Andy: You talked him into it?
  Barney: Yeah, see when Maxwell admitted that he could make as much as a million dollars on the album, me and the boys, we shamed him into lettin' us buy in. Tried to talk his way out of it, but we cornered him good.
