The episode was called 'The Price of Tomatoes (S4E25), and Denver played a tomato famer called Titus Purcell. It originally aired on March 1st, 1968 (incidentally, Cathy's 14th birthday). I'd have to disagree about Denver's look - as Briscoe Darling, Denver had a mustache, whereas Titus Purcell had a full beard with a little color in it, so he looked like a younger Uncle Jesse. You can see the whole episode below: As far as I know, neither 'The Andy Griffith Show' or 'Gomer Pyle: USMC' were shown in the UK. I'm familiar with the former through HNet, and the latter only after I investigated Jim Nabors' appearance in 'Cannonball Run II' as Pvt. Homer Lyle (another Cathy connection, although I don't remember Jim and Cathy having any scenes together). It may surprise (or as Gomer would say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!") many Americans that some of their biggest shows didn't air much if at all outside the US, so the references in movies are often lost on us over here. I found an article called 7 huge US pop-culture touchstones UK viewers just don't get which lists some of them. 'Gilligan's Island' is #1 and 'Gomer Pyle' is #7. Obviously things have changed with the internet giving us access to clips and whole shows, but we still have to look them up.

I do have a life but I also have some problems up here *points to her own head* That make me worry about these things. I like only a few things at a time and then I move on. I'm still getting over poke'mon and that was almost 9 years ago.

Month or two?! If somebody is still worried about this in 2 months they need to get a life of their own, not worry about Tom's.

I do respect your opinion but I still don't agree that its anyones business but Tom's.

Theres really no need for 15 god dern topics about it. MYOB, Tom's the man regaurdless.

Here is the link I found on msn. http://movies.msn.com/movies/article.aspx?news=218834&GT1=7701 He's setting a bad example for me, I look up to him and Luke Duke. Tom ya let me down this time
