My seven year old and I have been watching these regularly, and I am continually amazed what an odd, funny character Howard McNear created in Floyd the Barber. Never realized before reading his wiki that he suffered a stroke during the third season, left for a year, and came back to the show partially paralyzed.

The only episode I remember from childhood (in the 80s, not the 60s; it was a rerun staple) is the one where Andy has like four spaghetti dinners in one night after accidentally quadruple-booking himself or something.
Reading upthread, though, I definitely wanna see the Nicholson one. And the condom one, if that wasn't just a joke.
