My surprise was Elinor Donahue getting out of her three year contract early after the first season. She seemed to be a star in the making after her stint on Father Knows Best, but she felt that her performance was subpar, which obviously wasn't the case. She did a great job in a role that required her to be Andy's "almost girlfriend", a tough task indeed.
The guy who played Ferguson was actually part of a very good sketch comedy duo, Burns and Schreiber. But there's is no filling Don Knotts shoes. Donahue's exit from the show was very sudden and unfortunate. Now that you're mentioning Burns as the fill-in, the very last b&w show featured Jerry Van D yke (yes, Dick's brother) as the banjo playing deputy. Makes me wonder if they weren't trying him out for the role starting for season 6 vs. Burns. He would have been a welcomed addition.

(really? we can type "Dick" but not "D yke"??)

I honestly don't know if Jerry Van "D yke" (LOL) would have been a good fit as a regular on that particular show. I do know that I did not like that last b&w episode, and amazingly it didn't feature Barney.

The new original docuseries Making a Murder.

Omfg, was about to fall asleep and 10 last night, threw this on, was still awake at 7am watching it. My lord I've never felt ill from watching something in my life. I feel like this documentary is going to change something, like it's going to get huge, and we are going to see something come of it. We have to see something come of it, this is America.

I've never facepalmed watching something more in my life. They should keep all video cameras away from the region we grew up in. If people thought Fargo's accents were exaggerated, just show them this.

Re: What's good to watch on Netflix

The two investigators that got the confession out of Brendan are truly vile human beings. I've never been so sick watching something in my life.

I didn't like them either, and I know he had a 70 IQ, but he did say a lot. Similar things went down in the HBO Paradise Lost trilogy.
