Like most, I tend to think TAGS was better when viewed in b&w. The show was better suited to b&w and seemed to have lost some of its charm when the sixth season started with color film. However, this episode benefited greatly from color film. The beauty of the flowers really stood out in color. Aunt Bee's Deep Pink Ecstasy Rose really comes alive in color and just wouldn't have resonated with the viewer in b&w.
On a side note, watching Clara and Aunt Bee compete with each other and try to one up each other is something that most viewers can relate to. Good friends often have rivalries but in the end true friendship outlast such rivalries and are better because of them.
Lastly, how many of us can relate to Opie's accident and the difficulty in owning up to it. I felt this episode was probably one of the best ones to be filmed in color and it was an episode most viewers can identify with.
