The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt TV Show
It’s a show about romance and misunderstandings, along with Barney’s normal over confidence. That’s what The Andy Griffith Show: Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt from May 1964 deals with.

House: Not Cancer

Diagnosis Murder: My Baby Is Out of This World TV Show
