High Hopes, Zero Talent: A recurring theme, used to comedic perfection, this time centers on Barney.
Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Barney, and what everyone anticipates Gomer will be given his loony voice. Of course, Gomer turns out to be a fantastic singer. (In real life, Don Knotts was a reasonably good singer with a fine baritone voice, and of course Jim Nabors went on to record dozens of albums in the gospel, country, vocal pop and classical genres.)
Unlocking the Talent: But what will happen when the choir turns to that goofball gas station attendant Gomer Pyle to make their choir respectable? (Whistles a happy tune while he waits for his answer.)
