They Shouldn't Have Started Experimenting
This episode is not a typical TAGS outing, and it is pretty obvious the producers were experimenting, to see if the show might work with more adult content. A blonde sexpot (Susan Oliver) is lodged in the Mayberry jail overnight, and both Andy and Barney drool over her.
First, would decent men (to say nothing of law officers) instantly feel this way toward an arrested criminal? Second, Andy and Barney are clearly turned on sexually by her while the camera fawns over her anatomy. No one wanted to see the beloved Andy and Barney like this.
One of the weakest episodes of the show; the experiment was unsuccessful, and TAGS returned to its regular formula after that.
