Barney takes in Don Rickles (famous for his insults) as a lodger. It's slow at first, but then Rickles matches wits with Archie. The ending is good drama.

I have always been a HUGE Don Rickles fan, but for some reason, not in this. It is one of the ONLY ABP episodes that I will pass on watching.

They couldn't have him lodge with Archie, because so many people had already died at 704.

I just noticed Rusty was a different dog than we saw in Barney the Gambler.
