I did and I just finished watching the one where Barney gave the governors car a ticket,and the governor was coming to shake his hand but Barney thought he was in trouble and in the mean time Otis spiked the water cooler and Barney got drunk,I've seen that one a few times but I still crack up at Barney being drunk...too funny.

I love the intro to the show, Andy and Opie on their way to the fishing hole with the whistled tune. He always played a character with integrity and morals. I like to think that is how he lived his life. ALWAYS a pleasure to watch Andy.
God rest his soul.
