"What was up with Mayor Stoner's tie? The skinny part was always longer than the wide part. You'd think that someone smart enough to run a town would know how to tie a tie. It is funny that no one ever brought attention to it, however." - Plowboy from Alabama

"This is a very underrated episode. I think Mayor Stoner(Parley Baer) is wonderful. I also like the later episode in which the Mayor wants Andy's "lucky" fishing pole." - Brad Hayes from Plymouth, Ma

"Mayor Stoner is an obnoxious jerk. One of the worst characters on the show. Why is mayor of the town the boss of the county sheriff anyway? At least Andy makes a fool of him." - Tom from NC

"I was always a little puzzled by the way the pompous old mayor of the TOWN of Mayberry lorded his authority over Andy, presumably an elected official of the COUNTY of Mayberry. But, it's just a tv show, probably the best sitcom ever produced." - steve from mo
