fred gwynne was particularly good in this one. its harmony that keeps things together. that goes for people too. most politicians are out of tune as mr gwnne portrays in this very good episode

[@guysmiley515]

Good Lord Fred Gwyn is perfect for this. The smugness he has with his character is classic.love it👍👍👍

[@lukejayjackson9287]

[@crushtown1able]

[@williamnorton9547]

Luke Jackson Jackson I only learned about this show when I was trolling for old time radio shows when I got my first smartphone three years ago. (Dr. Seuss I am not)

[@williamnorton9547]

Luke Jackson Jackson Some version of radio shows are making a comeback and now all we need is for the FCC to reinstate Saturday morning cartoons.

Thanks Chilly, this one was fabulous. Only Fred Gwenn and his down home persona could have been so well received in this production.

[@MarkEvanWhite]

This one of the best episodes I've heard for sure.

This is so irritating, I want some of those bells with one harmonious spirit. The answer is yes! Harmony is how things work.

[@Shar1022]

I enjoyed THIS episode VERY MUCH! It’s cute & eye-opening...in a different sort of way. 👍👌

[@sueparrish6057]

cbsrmt great writers; herman monster good job

[@0therun1t21]

Yay, another version of The Man Who Would Be King, etc.

[@granny13ad33]

Fred Gwynne was a brilliant actor, how did he end up in such stupid roles as in Car 54 Where are You and Herman Munster? A God failed?

[@djeanthequeen8247]

Enjoyed him, too but he wasn't the Matinee Idol type. He was really a huge success when you think about to just be a working actor.

[@coocookachoo2806]

Ahhhhhh...the simpler times

[@IslandGirlKelly]

So true Hugh. What a mess now.

@ 26:40 These impossible situations couldn't be resolved by the King nor Trump's son in law Jared Kushner. 😁😁

[@jacquelinewalker1495]

Wierd

[@benjaminallen105]

You missed your mark with that attempted similarity.

[@michaelminervini1908]

these morons with their TDS

[@incrediblesimilarity5858]

@ 14:54 the dialogue exactly conveys the opinion of Trump regarding natural resources. As well as his appointed minion at the E.P.A . As I write this I haven't heard the entire episode so I don't know exactly how it ends .

[@benjaminallen105]

Again, your attempt at similarity is not even close. Maybe you should just wait until it's all over and see how it ends up.

[@sgtpepper2469]

That's God Emperor Trump to you jack
