Whats so great about this show is that the surrounding cast is just as funny as the lead roles. Howard Morris was in only 5 or 6 episodes, but people remember er Earnest T Bass just as much as they remember Barney. The man playing the Army Sergeant was Alan Melvin. He did appear in about 9 episodes of Andy Griffith, as a different character each time. He also played Sam the Butcher on the Brady Bunch and was one of Archie Bunkers friends on All in the Family.

I wish there were a few more episodes with Howard Morris (Earnest T)

He was so great in these shows,as well as the Darlin's

@lobo81865 Allan Melvin was also a voice actor for Hanna-Barbera.

I'm pretty sure it was Allan Melvin who played Sam the Butcher. He also played the bully on the show that Barney was afraid to face.

The Twilight Zone had a lot of different actors who were just getting their start, also Larry Hagman and others stared on Sea Hunt. Highway patrol was also an interesting show to watch.
