"The funniest part is when Andy is in Barney's room and Barney shows Andy the view of city hall between two telephone poles as viewed on Barney's bed in the corner with your head in the corner of the window while crouched down on the bed and all ... I can't stop laughing whenever I think of this.. Andy says..." You got a good thing here Barn!" And that tiny sink, too. " - Clara from Riverside, California

"I agree with Ken. This episode is very entertaining and well written. A perfect example of what how things might be if Barney left for the city." - Brad Hayes from Plymouth MA

"Another great Barney color episode. This should be rated much higher. This time Andy visits Barney, but once again it brings the series right back to it's top level. And it even bring back Barney and Andy sitting on a porch. "I got a great social life." -"You mean, sitting here on the porch listening to the radio?"-"You think this is all I do? I swing."And the trashy family that Barney latches onto and plays him for a sucker seems a nice touch and typical for Barney. Gotta love it. " - Ken from New Jersey
