The Andy Griffith Show: Goober's Contest (1967)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

To drum up business at his service station, Goober holds a contest. Unfortunately, he makes a typographical error while writing up his announcements, and as a result he posts a grand prize of $200 rather than $20. The winner, Floyd the barber, demands immediately payment-then sues for fraud when Goober pleads poverty. The devastating stroke which had recently befallen actor Howard McNear (Floyd) is painfully evident in this episode, though McNear courageously withstands the rigors of Ron Friedman and Pat McCormick's teleplay. "Goober's Contest" originally aired April 10, 1967, as the final episode of The Andy Griffith Show's seventh season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
