The Inescapable Fun Girls
'The Andy Griffith Show' is a family favorite. We love its simplicity, wholesomeness, the good values it frequently displays, and engaging stories. The actors, especially Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, are superb and still remain iconic characters in American television. Have always found joy in watching 'The Andy Griffith Show,' with its unique stories and vast range of colorful characters it has to offer.
'The Arrest of the Fun Girls,' though good and very entertaining, lacks the originality and charm that a lot of the other episodes contain. It seemed like something was missing from the episode; it did not have the heart or soul that is present in most of the series. The Fun Girls are wacky and fun to watch, but they did not offer anything interesting or new to the table. Also, I personally believed that Thelma Lou and Helen Crump could have been more understanding toward Barney and Andy throughout the episode.
Aside from all that, the episode never failed to make me laugh, and it was funny to see how Andy and Barney handled the Fun Girls when they got in their way. The acting and cinematography are wonderful as always, and the episode itself has a lot of mishaps that amuse.
In conclusion, not among the best episodes of 'The Andy Griffith Show' but still entertains.

Just Shut Up Bernie
To follow up on a previous review, the Fun Girls only appear in 3 stories and Thelma Lou and Helen are only involved in 2 of those 3. The first time Andy was dating Peggy, not Helen.

It's the fun girls ... now what do we do
"Fun Grls" are great. But a copied script.
I give it a 10* rating because it's the "Fun Girls". Almost un-American to rate them lower. But, come on. Such talented funny actors deserve a fresh script. TAGS will do more funny redos, but with some different actors. This is with the same actors. Really a shame the writers were lazy.
The talented ensemble cast made the best of the redo. There were only a few minor funny twists. Always wonderful to watch anything with Joyce Jameson and Jean Carson though.

Annoying Jealousy
I can see why Helen and Thelma Lou are mad, but I find Helen's anger and jealousy to be very annoying. We see this in other episodes, and it appears that her anger is her specialty. It always annoys me. 👎

The Joke Has Run Its Course
Those two women from Mt. Pilot are pretty funny, but this is now the fourth time we've seen them. Every episode is the same. They end up with Andy and Barney and Thelma Lou and Helen jump to conclusions (rightfully so, I guess). It's just that there is nothing new. They are brash and the boys just can't handle them. I hope they don't show up again (that goes for the Darlings as well).
Fun Girls getting boring
