    My favorite line in this episode isn't in the retelling of "Romeo and Juliet"; it's when Andy says that he thought that Friar Laurence should have ended the feud before marrying the lovers. Then, after Andy tries to do just that and fails, he looks off into the distance thoughtfully and says: "Friar Laurence, I'm starting to see what you was up against."

    The Best Show I have ever seen. It was and remains hilarious, witty, sad, has moral to it educational all wrapped up into a lovely story, but never full of cussing or filth. It has never lost it's appeal!! I never lived then but thinking of this show, I wouldn't have minded those hazy lazy happy uncomplicated days! Andy Griffith and Ron Howard were amazing as Father and Son! The entire acting crew too made the show the 5 Star Show it was!

    When Juliet said "wherefore art thou Romeo" she did NOT mean where are you, she meant WHY are you? She was asking WHY are you Romeo? That is, by what cruel circumstance is my beloved born to the family with which my own family is at odds? Too bad that this is almost universally misunderstood.

    I caught a few moments of the Andy Griffith Show, A Feud is a Feud. (It’s in my book, Mayberry at Arms.) This time I noticed that when the face off occurred, Mr. Carter arrives from the right, and Mr. Wakefield is on the left. Both are holding double barrel shotguns. Wakefield’s SXS is a sidelock shotgun. Carter’s SXS is the more common boxlock. Andy goes to check the feudee’s arms, turns his back to both and proceeds to unload both shotguns. He then hands each back a shotgun, but neither got the shotgun back that they arrived with! You would think they would notice.

    This episode was very early on in the show, when Andy was depicted as an extremely dumb stereotypical backwoods country boy. As the show went on, it truly found its footing when Andy became the capable, level-headed straight man to Barney’s chaotic antics. And then when Don Knotts left the show, the entire series became a complete and utter train wreck that should’ve ended at season 5, the last decent season.

    Andy misquoted Romeo's line from the balcony scene. It's not "hark, what light through yonder window shines," it's "but soft, what light through yonder window breaks." An easy mistake, but people also misquote Juliet in that scene. She says "that which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet," but most people quote it today as "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." (And that wasn't Romeo's line as Andy claims here.)
