- GoofsWhen Andy and Barney arrive in front of Andy's house to take a look at Newton's paint job of the porch, they are looking on the wrong side of the street. They are facing in the opposite direction... the "church-side" of Andy's street. Behind them, in the background, is Andy's side of the street. And, after Andy and Barney repaint the porch, and Andy brings over Newton the next day for the "congratulations," Andy and Newton are also looking on the wrong side of the street.

Featured review
"I'm ept... I'm a painter".
Terrific episode. Borrows some from the poor soul "Cousin Virgil" theme. Don Rickles is perfectly cast as sad sack Newton Monroe. Some gigantic laughs. "What's to digging a hole?...what's a flue?" The whole part of cheapskate Barney buying Thelma Lou a fur, then telling her "Don't shake it", was really funny. Barney trying it on, then Goober petting the fur wss hilarious. Goober's Mount Pilot song on his transistor radio seems very often used for pop music on the show.
One of my favorite epilogues of the whole series. Classic look on Barney's face when he's hollering "Ow!"
