When I was young I had no appreciation for the absurdity and nuance of his character... Liked the over-the-top Ernest T. Now I think Floyd is the funniest character on the show. And Briscoe Darling....

The scene on the bench, in front of the barber shop, when Floyd is talking about the hot weather, Calvin Coolidge etc... Just Gold.

Anyway,

Howard McNear volunteered for the Army Air Corps as a 37 year old married man. He had every excuse not to go and went anyway.

My favorite episode involving Floyd is when he and Barney get kidnapped by escaped female convicts. The leader, Big Maude, also played Barney's singing teacher Eleanora Poultice and matchmaker Mrs. Wiley.
