I know this is a little off topic, but the two shows are linked. Here are 3 of my favorites:
1. Gomer, the Welsh Rarebit Fiend
2. Where There's a Will
3. A Visit From Cousin Goober

My all time fav is 'Show Me The Way To go Home', where goodhearted Gomer encounters the drunk and takes him home, only to be accused by his wife of getting him gassed, ("and Harry doesn't drink!") The great Keenan Wynn plays Harry the drunk and veteran TV actress, Pert Kelton (the first Alice Kramden,) is perfect as his obnoxious, loud-mouthed wife, Iona.
Mr. Purcell: "You see Gomer, last night when you found me, I had
drank on an empty stomach. I don't think that could happen again in a
million years. Waiter, make that a double, will ya?"
Mrs. Purcell: "Oh I know your type! Prowling the bars looking for
some poor soul like Harry so you can sponge off him all night!"
Yeah, that is a great one! Interestingly, there is a Dragnet radio episode with a lot of similarities to this one - I would bet they got the idea from it - listen at https://ia800901.us.archive.org/1/items/OTRR_Dragnet_Singles/Dragne... .
