My favorite season of TAGS is Season Five, the last B&W one, and the last to feature Barney as a regular.
By that point the writers were in their prime, and they and the actors fully understood the characters. Floyd returned, the Andy/Helen dynamic was strong, Barney was a sheer riot, Goober emerged as a break-out character, and the season sported some of the run's best episodes: "The Education of Ernest T. Bass," "Barney's Uniform," and my all-time favorite, "Three Wishes for Opie," to name a few.
