The season is acclaimed for introducing several new, recurring characters into the cast including Jim Nabors as our beloved Gomer Pyle , Joanna Moore as "Miss Peggy" , and the future Mrs. Helen Taylor, Helen Crump, played by Aneta Corsaut. Don't miss the season highlight, "Man in a Hurry," a touching story where Malcolm Tucker, played to perfection by Robert Emhardt delivers the now-famous summation of Mayberry, "Outrageous… a whole town is standing still because two old women's feet fall asleep," precisely the reason why this beloved sitcom remains a timeless treasure.
