My favorite was when he and Floyd were kidnapped by the women prison escapees. That one still brings tears to my eyes. I also like the episode when he meets the Darlings for the first time and has to dress up like the bride. :)

The women prison escapees! Hilarious!! How about the one where Barney pretended to be a mannequin in the local sporting goods store - to catch a shoplifter? Just thinking about these shows makes me laugh!
Good clean fun & tons funnier than anything they're putting out now!
"Convicts at Large".
Absolutely hilarious.
Reta Shaw played "Big Maude" and an actress who would go on to become one of the "Fun Girls" -- the "Hello Doll" one -- played another of the escapees.
Floyd repeatedly calling Barney "Al" and eating that banana while Barn danced with Maude ... then Floyd's great line when the danger has passed: "Maude, Al -- if those hamburgers are burned, I won't be responsible!"
They've only recently started showing the epilogues on TVLand ... At the end of that one, Ange and Barn are in the courthouse talking about the situation -- and Barn is very full of himself -- when the paper arrives. The headline was something like "LOCAL BARBER FOILS KIDNAPPING" with a big picture of Floyd.
Just great.
