Andy's English Valet

This is one of my favorites! Bernard Fox playing Malcolm Merriweather & making Andy & Opie dressing for dinner & Opie taking a bath even before Saturday. Malcohm coming to America to see our country & meeting people is cool. When talking to Andy & saying you look a bit Clem I guess that means hungry & makes them lunch. I have recorded this episode just to watch when feeling alittle down. I came from a small town & makes me think of the good times back when this show aired 1963. These times are gone & it's a shame but the Andy Griffith Show takes you back there if you are old enough to remember.take the time to watch!

When a Britisher shows up on a bike, Andy is told the guy is seeing he country. But as he tries to follow Andy's directions, he causes an accident. Not having any money, he goes to work for the sheriff. He is a charming man who has worked as a gentleman's gentleman. Andy and Barney learn a few things about common courtesy and love.

The whole story is pretty preposterous even for a sitcom. A sheriff would let a complete stranger live in his house, watch his son, and be forced to adhere to British gentlemen's gentlemen protocols.

Even with the bizarreness of the episode it's fun to watch any thing with Bernard Fox.

I particularly liked Barney's scenes. The classic "from somewheres else", and Barney self-consciously embarrassed by his casual attire visiting during a formal supper. Epilogue was just okay.
