I would classify this episode as a comedy even though there are a couple of somber moments. Dan Blocker and Michael Landon are the best comedians. They make a great pair. Little Joe's laugh, played by Michael Landon, is contagious. The chase scenes are just as funny. The show starts out with unbelief from everyone from what Hoss has seen. Even his family does not believe him. Then Little Joe sees the same thing that Hoss has seen and the outrageous laughter never stops. The show actually shows the issue of prejudice in a different way. It was not the usual example of prejudice for that time period. Eventually everyone believes Hoss when everyone sees what he sees. He has a wonderful view of the guest stars in the end.
