>>>Here's my question in "The case of a punch in the nose" who is the barber >>>coming out of Floyds shop as Barney and Goober are pulling up to the court >>>house?<<<
If you look carefully (and I could post a screen shot, but I can't do that on the digest), that man is apparently a customer of Floyd. He is not wearing the barber coat that Floyd wears. Instead, it appears to be a cape he is wearing. We assume he hopped out of the barber chair in the middle of a haircut to check out the excitement in the street. The man himself is a background actor (extra) who can be seen in other episodes. Now, there are instances where someone else (an extra) is playing Floyd in a long shot. I forget which episode this is, but one of the extras, a guy who wears glasses, can be seen briefly through the barber shop window posing as Floyd. This was done so as to avoid the trouble of using the regular actor as "background scenery," since most people would never realize it was someone else anyway. In that episode, the extra was wearing Floyd's barber coat and was standing over someone in the chair. So the situations were different. Hope this explanation helps.
