Not very funny or good

Dumb episode. Too much of Festus and Denver Pyle acting like idiots wears thin after a while. Why would Festus go into business writing a paper anyway when he cannot read or write. Not believable. When I hear that "boing boing" spring sound effect I know what's coming is not going to be good. Well anyway, maybe the next one will be better. Hope so.
