Did you know
- TriviaRoger Hanover asks the riddle, "You know what the mirror said to the dresser?" He then whispers the answer into Aunt Bee's ear. The answer to the riddle is never revealed, but from Aunt Bee's blush it is clear that it was bawdy. The actual answer to the riddle is "I can see your drawers."
- GoofsRoger comments to Andy that he doesn't know why his regular check hasn't been forwarded, but Roger has only been in Mayberry a couple of days.

Floyd Lawson: I thought Calvin Coolidge said that.

Featured review
I Don't Like Him Either
Somtimes a character is so annoying and devoid of any redeeming qualities, that it makes it hard to sit through the entire episode. That's the case with me and the character of Roger Hanover, and old friend (beau?) of Aunt Bee's who has come to Mayberry to visit. In the first place, it hard to believe that Aunt Bee would ever have anything to do with this guy or tolerate his endless nonsense. Credit actor Wallace Ford for bringing out the worst in this character and making you despise him almost immediately. From the first time he pulls back his hand before Andy can shake it, we know he is going to be irritating. It starts out with bad jokes/pranks and turns into condescending behavior towards Andy "(Here Boy, let me show you how to do it") when he's trying to repair a lamp. The funniest line in the whole episode belongs to Opie after he asks his Pa if he likes Mr. Hanover. Of course Andy's response is very diplomatic as he tries to tell his son to see the good in people and to understand that because he is Aunt Bee's friend they should be forgiving. Opie's response to that is "I don't like him either". A funny line in an episode that contains more drama than comedy. It's not a bad episode, but it does follow a trend in the uneven fifth season of the series that foreshadows the inconsistency of the next three seasons of "color" episodes.,
