I have two short sleeved shirts of floyd lawson's image on them in pink with the words pink floyd in the written style of the musical group pink floyd.

Floyd was great, one of my personal favorites along with Barney of course. I remember the first season a different person played Floyd. It was the episode where a stranger came to town. That Floyd I liked also but for sum unknown reason he was replaced by McNear. Perhaps he past away like the original mayor who I also liked very much. I always wanted to see more of Floyd in the series. I continue to watch them to this day, they are uplifting and funny, I wish I could live in such a town today. I also believe that Don Knotts did his best work at this time, he was absolutely perfect.
