- Quotes
Charlene Darling: [Telling Andy why she is divorcing Dud] Last Sunday, I caught him makin' eyes at Idell Bushey durin' preachin'. And I know what they do up there in the hills when they say they're possum huntin'. They're just sittin' around the campfire, drinkin' hard cider, hittin' each other on the shoulder and hollerin' 'flinch!'.

You know what you are, Sheriff?
Love those Darlings.
Unfortunately, the daughter of the family (played by lovely Margaret Ann Peterson) wants a divorce from her husband Dub (guest star Bob Denver, who is hilarious) and wants to get involved with Andy.
Everyone shines in this episode, especially Don Knotts and Denver Pyle. And though they don't really interact much, how often do you get a glimpse Barney and Gilligan together?
This episode is best watched back to back with the initial Darling episode "The Darlings are Coming."
Naturally, when the Darlings come, they bring their brand of country music with them. If you hate that stuff (and how could you!) the music doesn't amount to a high percentage of the episode.
