Brilliant sketch featuring Merv's mellow interactions with Deputy Barney, his son Opie, Floyd the Barber, Otis the town drunk, Aunt Bea, girlfriend Helen Crump, and Gomer the singing gas attendant.

Dave Thomas as Fred Travalena doing Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle (who essentially was two distinct characters, the goofball and the classically trained singer) is a brilliant trip down the rabbit hole. And Eugene Levy as Floyd is in a class by himself :)

Said that he was planning to have Gomer choke on some water so he wouldn't have to do his lines, since he knew his Nabors impression sucked, but then the idea came up to make him Fred, saving him the trouble and making for a great double-layer gag there.

Juxtaposition, when done brilliantly, is a genuine intellectual treat, and SCTV pulled it off more often than most other shows. (I am reminded of another one of their genius moments, "The Benny Hill Street Blues.") As right-on as the impersonations were (Eugene Levy as Howard McNear is frighteningly good), it dawned on me as I watched this again, 35 years after its original airing: A generation from now, anyone seeing this will still get the "Andy of Mayberry" references, but very few will remember who Merv Griffin was, or what his show was like. (Incidentally, the silent actress who plays Helen Crump looks astonishingly like Aneta Corsaut, but it couldn't possibly be her... could it?)

I miss all these great comedians later to become actors! Rick Moranis quietly went into retirement. John Candy's untimely death, but Levy went on to many small parts until landing "Schitts Creek" on Comedy Central. It was a hilarious satire of dysfunctionality! His talent was underrated, imo. His Floyd the barber was "right on target"! He could play any character he was given to portray.

May I just say as a You Tube Commenter in all seriousness that this is one of the greatest posts I have ever read. I am here to say that this poster, bryanweis completely gets what SCTV was all about....this IS A GREAT GREAT MAN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. (Canned applause in the background). And I mean that sincerely.....now if you'll excuse me I have to go tape a special down the hall.

A Big Thank You to those who replied before me. Without your inputs, I would have missed @byyanweis' joke. Now I can see all those TVs coming out of all those apartment windows at the beginning of every show. Sure miss all those great actors.

During the early 1980’s, the writers and performers of SCTV were stuck together in Edmonton, far from their homes, where there was nothing to do but work, and with an enthusiastic crew and a fully functional state of the art TV production studio at their disposal, and they made some of the best sketch comedy television has ever seen. This video is a prime example…. BTW, Merv Griffin was reportedly not pleased that Rick Moranis portrayed him as having a huge rear end….
