"Goober has to be mentally challenged to let two kids fool him by putting a walkie talkie under a dogs collar, and believing the dog is actually doing the talking. Anyone with a brain could have figured out this ruse immediately. A very poor, ill conceived episode." - Steve Bartree from Mobile, AL

"Regarding Goober's "Jughead" hat...I have seen it one other time...there was a "novela" (Mexican soap opera) on Univision called "Maria la del Barrio" which was about this girl who had grown up dirt poor and hooked up with a rich young fellow. Whenever they had "flashback" scenes to where Maria had been poor, she always had the Goober/Jughead hat on." - Kenneth S Reedy, FLMI from Greensboro, NC
