I definately want to respond to this. My fave episode is when Barnabas tells Willie that the difference between him and Vicky is as wide as the sky. But I don't know what episode number it is. Can anyone help me out with this? I think it's in the 200's.
I would love to see Mr. Frid and Old Man Karlen play this out again.
I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

#293, that one did have a lot of great lines:

"Willie, you do get to be a bore. No wonder I seek other company."

"It's strange isn't it? How people cling to life. How they seem to consider it so much better to grow old, ugly & humiliated than to.."
"To what?"
"To remain young & beautiful forever. Untouched by time. Untouched by anything."
" 'Cept loneliness."

It is really too bad that Barnabas did not have any scenes with Buzz.  Oh, how I would love to see that! and vote for it, of course.

It's too bad Dennis Patrick wasn't included.  I thought his scenes with Barn provided some of the finest moments of 1967.
