This is a fair episode of the series--neither a particularly inspired one or a bad one. It all concerns Barney once again behaving like an idiot. This time, Barney is obsessed with the very quiet Sam Becker (played by the reliable old TV actor, William Schallert). While it's normal for someone to be quiet or stand-offish, Barney interprets this all the wrong way and assumes that Becker is up to something illegal! Eventually, even convinces himself that Becker is taking care of a criminal with a bullet wound!! However, in the end, the problem turns out to be a lot more mundane--Becker's wife is pregnant and Barney and Andy are called to the family's aid, as there is a storm and the doctor is unavailable! So, it's up to a couple very nervous cops and a very nervous husband to welcome a new life into the world. The highlight of the episode for me was watching the men nervously waiting as well as hearing Barney talking about marijuana! Weird, but not a great episode.
