Howard tries his hand at stand-up when he does a set on "Colonel Tim's Talent Time," a local amateur television showcase. He's a big hit, but he hurts his friends by including their names in his act. He is forgiven when the others realize Howard's fame has rubbed off on them--so they supply him with new material.

"I know the jokes are on the corny side, but Howard's delivery is pretty good. I always laugh, especially about how Ain't Bee's ancestors came over on the Mayflower, but immigration laws are stricter now. Three ways in Mayberry to spread news: telephone, telegraph, and tell Floyd." - Kenneth S. Reedy, FLMI,PCS,PAHM,ACS,ARA,AIRC,AIAA from Greensboro, NC
