Rob can't seem to remember to bring his guns ( he can't recall where he left them including his gun belt!) Deputy Buddy finally brings them, just as Big Bad Brady and Rob go to battle. We find that Rob needs to practice more (he can't shoot all the bottles on the bar.)''''Rob is about to wake up only to be told by Jerry, that a World War 1 script is needed.

    A very different episode, played broadly with lots of guffaws and groaners -- but quite entertaining.

    It's nice to see all the cast in the final episode filmed, including semi-regular Allan Melvin (recently passed away).

    Morey plays a great deputy sheriff, and Mel as Big Bad Brady's younger brother, is told to shut up and "stand in the corner". He moves to the corner, and faces the wall. Great!

    Laura is not particularly good in this episode, sings off-key, but has a great song title that they play with several times.

    Wrong aims by both Rob and Brady lead to some good laughs. Not a highlight, but entertaining and different.moreless

    • The Gunsmoke set was used for the episode and the only time the shot on location! Edit
    • In this episode Rob is in Jerry's Dentist office. And, as everyone knows, Jerry's office is in his house next door.If you look at the window, there's the skyline of New York city. As a matter of fact, it's the same skyline as in the window at the writers office. Edit

    • Rob: (looking at guns to buy) Do you have anything in black? Most of my wardrobe is black. Salesman: No, I haven't got any black. How about a set of pearls? (hands Rob pearl-handled guns) Buddy: Pearls would be perfect. What else goes better with basic black? Edit
    • Sally: Howdy, Sheriff, welcome home! Rob: Howdy, Miss Sally. Sally: And here's your favorite: fried chicken! (sets a plate of food on the sheriff's desk) Rob: Oh boy! And hominy grits! Sally: Oh, I don't know, about 40 or 50. Edit
