When Andy asks him what he would say when he is soaking his feet at night, the camera angle is at the upper left hand of the courthouse by the filing cabinet. It shows Barney upclose with Andy in the background and gives a much more intimate approach. Especially when he tells Andy he thinks Thelma Lou is the "Cats!" I remember seeing this and thinking it has a lot in common with the daytime soaps and prime time dramas of that period of time. Not so much in comedy. You're right, TAGS was very creative with its camera angles. Sometimes it's for dramatic reasons, and sometimes it's for satirical effect, like the "High Noon" shot of Barney confidently strutting across the street. They used that one in two different episodes. There's also the overhead shot (along the same lines) just after Barney declares Mayberry as "Gateway to danger!"
