During TV Land's marathon tribute to Don Knotts, they aired the episode "Those Gossipin' Men." Ordinarily, I've always found this to be one the funnier early episodes of the series. But when Andy and Don were playing the scene we're they start joking about the rumor of Barney being dead; the scene just seemed a bit eerie, considering the circumstances.

I was wondering if anyone else had the same reaction to that particular scene.

The Gossipp Men is my Favorite Episode of The Andy Griffith Show
and if my Memory is Correct that is the episode where Barney Cut his Fingle.
