I loved that story about banning peanut butter in jail. Perhaps they could just throw some peanuts in the cell and the prisoners could just jump up and down on them and make their own.
Some of you have expressed my sentiments regarding Barney perking up after finding out about Thelma Lou's marriage and then meeting the adoring Nettie Albright (I think that was her name - the one who looks better as a blonde). I think the idea of his seeming to get over Thelma Lou so quickly was addressed in one of the many books published about the show. It might even go all the way back to Dr. Richard Kelly's book in the early 80's. He stated how inappropriate it seems that Barney could so quickly get over someone with whom he had such a close and long-standing relationship. And especially when he just got finished saying to Andy, "She was the only girl I ever loved". When I originally saw the episode, I was so relieved to have Barney out of the dumps before the show wrapped up that I didn't think much about it. But as we recall, when Barney sees Thel at the reunion he says, "Sorry about not writing to you after I left" or something to that effect. I mean, really! How could you just leave and not "send for her" or at least write and try to come to some kind of conclusion about your relationship. But then, that's TV. And as wonderful as that television show was, it was after all a television show.
