Such a great scene. Andy knew he was taking the gamble by putting his faith into Otis. Knowing that Andy was taking the gamble, Otis responded by taking responsibility and not letting Andy down.

Well said. And Otis' speech was wonderful.

Otis' speech has some of the best set of lines in the entire show, ironic since he was sold short as a "good-for-nothin' drunk" for most of the series, but when sober, he turned out to be one of the most humble and wise characters.

Unless Barney was teaching him the rules of the road or hitting him with a tomato on deputy duty line-up🤷🏼‍♂️🤓😎✌🏻

Otis' wife standing by his side. Love is real.

It was so nice to see Otis all cleaned up, hair combed, and in a suit.

Just does not get any better than this. Honor Dignity and Class! I truly hope Hollywood can one day recapture this.

Sorry but our tv programming too far gone to ever go back to decent . Decency has become obsolete in the USA 😢

My favorite episode. If anyone was deserving of recognition that day, it was Otis. For he showed everyone who doubted him, and only thought him a drunk, what he was really made of.

The same actress played Otis’ wife in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.

Hal Smith, the actor who played Otis, was close to a teetotaler, almost never taking a drink.

Otis, a good citizen! He is a Deputy whenever needed!

one of the best scenes in the show, imo. very understated how his wife was so proud of him. as it turns out, he really is worthy of an award, just not the one they wanted to give him. very awesome character moments -- this is exactly why this show is what it is.

Barney "Wheres my plaque, I want my plaque". Priceless.

The Mayor, Councilman, Sheriff, Deputy, Women Historical Society, and Newspaper, along with Mrs Campbell! Seems like Otis has some good friends and family! Even a reformed brother!

One of my favorite episodes, vary rare, Otis sober and clean Ed up , well done

I loved this show as a kid but have much greater appreciation of it now. So sad that today's hollywood would never create anything like this again.

Otis played his part so good and well

Loved Otis. My favorite character. Loved the way he staggered into his cell.

Love this show, I watch it everyday!!!!!!! Excellent!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤!!!!!

The script was terrific and I bet it took some practice to get it down for the conversation between Barney, Andy and the mayor outside the room. They pulled it off perfectly, it’s hilarious.

Otis..Hal Smith..had quite a career. Look him up on Wiki..

Otis makes a good sensible character, courtesy of Mrs. Campbell.

Barney getting to say, the one and only time, "You beat everything, you know that?".

Otis was such a sweet and kind character

Absolutely exceptional.

I tear up in nearly every show.

true Otis drinks alot but when need be he didn't let Andy down who had faith in him even if the Mayor, Barney and the Town Council did not have faith in Otis.he proved them wrong.

They say you should never judge a man's character by his worst day; well I suppose that should also apply to his best day.

One of my favorite TAGS episodes.

Distillers association of America !!! 😅😅😅😅

Supposedly Nathan Tibbs ran 8 miles to burn this bridge, and Otis can hop on one foot longer than Barney, guess natural stamina ran in Otis's family.

This is a perfect example of why you should never sell anyone short. The second you let them fall, they will rise up and leave you humbled.

Hate to say it but tv in past years was way better than today's garbage as with most shows..Vulgar comedy, killers and criminals , violence . Even back then the violence was low key at best. Good old days for sure. That's what makes good memory's.

Funny, but in real life, Otis never drank. On the andy griffith show Otis part was shut down during the tail end of the sitcom because the show frowned on his part of always being drunk. Otis was the man!
