Barney invests his life's savings in buying a used car which turns out to be a lemon. Guest appearance by Ellen Corby as "Myrt". She went on to play Grandma Ellen on The Waltons. Years later, Don Knotts would be reunited with Andy Griffith on Matlock, where Knotts played Matlock's annoying neighbor who was accused of killing the salesman's partner, who also sold him a lemon. Andy Griffith selected this episode as his all-time favorite. Myrt's telephone number is given as MP3791. Andy claims it takes about an hour to drive from Mayberry to Mt. Pilot. Barney tells Andy that he once bought his mom and dad a septic tank as an anniversary present. Barney's lemon that he bought from Myrt is going to need plugs, points, bearings, valves, rings, starter switch, ignition wires, water pump, fuel pump, oil pump, clutch, clutch bearings, clutch plate, brake lining, brake shoes, brake drums, radiator hose, and a radiator hose cover. The car could use a good wash too. Also, sawdust was found in the differential and transmission.
Ellen Corby (June 3, 1911 -- April 14, 1999) was an American actress. She is most widely remembered for the role of "Grandma Esther Walton" on the CBS television series The Waltons, for which she won three Emmy Awards. She was also nominated for an Academy Award for her performance as Aunt Trina in I Remember Mama.
Corby began her career as a writer, working on the Paramount Western Twilight on the Trail and 1947's Hoppy's Holiday. She landed her first acting job in 1945, playing a maid in RKO's Cornered. In 1948 she received an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as a lovelorn aunt in I Remember Mama (1948). Over the next four decades, she worked steadily in both film and television, often playing maids, secretaries, waitresses or gossips. She was a favorite in western films (including Shane, 1953) and had a recurring role as "Henrietta Porter" in the western television series Trackdown (1957 -- 1959), starring Robert Culp.
Other television appearances included Wagon Train, Cheyenne, The Restless Gun (two episodes), The Rifleman, Fury, I Love Lucy, Tightrope, Bonanza,Meet McGraw (as a maid), The Virginian, Channing, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Get Smart, Gomer Pyle, The Addams Family, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Andy Griffith Show, and the Night Gallery episode, "Fright Night." She also had a recurring role in the 1965-1967 TV series Please Don't Eat the Daisies.
Her most famous role came on CBS in 1971 when she was cast as "Grandma Esther Walton" on the made-for-TV film The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, which served as the pilot for The Waltons. Her husband, Zebulon Walton, was portrayed by famous ventriloquist Edgar Bergen. Corby would go on to resume the role on the weekly television series The Waltons, this time actor Will Geer played her husband from 1972 until his death in 1978, at which time the character of Zebulon Walton was also laid to rest. The series ran from 1972--1981, and resulted in several sequel films. For her work in The Waltons, she won her three Emmy Awards and three more nominations as Best Supporting Actress. She left the show early in 1977, due to a massive stroke she suffered, which impaired her speech and severely limited her mobility and function. She returned to the series during the final episode of the 1977-78 season, with her character depicted as also recovering from a stroke. She remained a regular on The Waltons through the end of the 1978-79 season, with Esther Walton struggling with her stroke deficits, as Corby was in real life.
Corby resumed her "Grandma Walton"' role in each of the three Waltons reunion movies, during the 1990s.
Jesse Donald "Don" Knotts (July 21, 1924 -- February 24, 2006) was an American comedic actor best known for his portrayal of Barney Fife on the 1960s television sitcom The Andy Griffith Show, a role which earned him five Emmy Awards. He also played landlord Ralph Furley on the 1970s television sitcom Three's Company.
