Barney Fife is one of the greatest characters in tv history. Those that disagree will spend time on The Rock. This clip is incomplete without his reciting the Preamble of the Constitution.
@@KinnereyB Agreed. At least he came back for a few episodes. That Warren Ferguson was the pits. They got rid of him after the 6th season - his only season -- only 11 episodes !! He overdid it. 177 - Season 6 -- The Legend of Barney Fife 211 - Season 7 --- A Visit to Barney Fife 212 _ Season 7 -- Barney Comes to Mayberry 240 -- Season 8 -- Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting
This guy was a natural, comic genius. His face told everything. What a character he was. I watch these episodes a hundred times. And, when I know what Barney is going to do, I start laughing. We are lucky to have had Barney for 6 seasons. His visits were not the same though. He was the greatest comic character of all time. Yes, we all know that once he left, the show was never the same. Sad.
I read an interview with Knotts’s daughter who said he was even cracking jokes on his deathbed. She had to leave the room to reconcile laughter thru her tears. RIP great entertainer
Curtis, We’re all impressed with your piety and self-righteousness, and I know you’re secretly proud of yourself for making this virtue-signaling off-topic response. Such is why so much of the world hates Christians.
I couldn't warm up to Warren after Barney left 😢 the show just wasn't the same without Barn 😭 He was hilarious 🤣 he would do anything for his devoted fans 👍 Rest In Peace 🙏💚
@@nancyloomis3046 Same here Nancy 👍 love watching The Andy Griffith show..I get a kick out of Andy when he teases Barney 😂 Barney tells him to put a red nose on and join the circus or Barney gets so mad that he messes up his hair 😂🤣
Don Knotts left the show after the 5th season because Andy told him (in the beginning) that the show was only gonna be on for five years, so in the fourth season Don started looking for work for when this show was over and ended up signing a contract with other TV companies, but when Don found out Andy was going to extend the show longer, Don offered to break his contracts if Andy was willing to give him a peace of ownership of the show, (Andy and his manager owned more than half rights of the show) when the offer was declined, well the rest we know as history.
@@kendallrivers1119 Those episodes are great, Especially The shoplifters when Ben Weaver yelled at Andy in that winy tone "Sheriff get him out of here!!" I laugh so hard at that.
I love this show. Even now years later I make time to watch it everyday. I've seen it a 100 times but he still cracks me up. A fine show with two fine Actors. They sadly don't make shows like this anymore. Barney, a little man with a huge Heart.
The thing that made Barney work so brilliantly was Andy for him to bounce off of. Without the chemistry of those two the show wouldn't have worked. Barney needed Andy's character to work and Andy as the anchor and straight man needed Barney to play straight to. Perfect balance.
I totally agree! they were such good friends and I read that Andy would crack up laughing at Don so much during filming, he just thought Don was the funniest ever. they really had great chemistry and were a perfect balance! that's why we can watch these episodes a hundred times and never get tired of it!
Andy was the straight man. That much is written into the script. The straight man is as old as comedy itself and the role is as important as the comedic role, because the straight man gives the comic something to play off of. It's not that Andy let Don be the comic. Don was hired to to be the comic.
@@GradyPhilpott I don’t believe that’s how it came down. Andy was planned as the comic talent before Don was even in the picture. Don asked to be in the show after the fact and Andy immediately recognized that Don should be the comic and that he would better function as the straight man.
@@johndodge8999 That may be true, but it's still written into the script. Who then would have been the straight man, if it was not the sheriff? Would Knotts have been the sheriff and Griffith have been his comical sidekick? Somehow that doesn't ring true. Do you have a citation for your claim?
Barney, along with Ernest T., would make me laugh so much that my stomach would hurt. Humor like this is gone. It's all F this and F that now. Too bad.
I think the first movie I saw Don Knotts in was No Time For Sergeants starring Andy Griffith. It was a pairing made in heaven. One of the funniest movies ever.
Don Knotts was so funny and naive, but so soft hearted. He really made the show funny, but ran a top notch Mayberry jail. Ernest T Bass,was really funny too.
I love how Andy Griffith, in discussing the genesis of TAGS, always gave credit to Don Knotts for the success of the show. He said that with Barney delivering the laughs and him playing straight man, it just clicked. How fortunate that Knotts had just been released from the Steve Allen Show when the pilot ran, and that he was watching TV that night and saw it. The next day he rang Andy up and said, “Hey, don’t you need a deputy?” The rest is sitcom history.
1:03 Now Here At The Rock, [Laughter] We Have 2 Basic Rules. Memorize Them So That You Can Say Them In Your Sleep. The 1st Rule Is: OBEY ALL RULES! 2nd Rule: DO NOT WRITE ON THE WALLS! (As It Takes A Lot Of Work To Erase Writing Off Of Walls.)
What a cast this show had, think about it, it takes alot of people to make it work, including the director too. They feed off each other and this show was back n the 60's. Barney is the best and there was NO one else that could bring cashew fudge to his sweetie THELMA LOU !!!
He was a pretty darn good dramatic actor too, as in the scene of Andy s trial. Some of his mannerisms remind me so much of my father. I have a special love for Barney Fife!
@Liberty AboveAllElse Yes, I had forgotten about that one. It's too bad he was only a comedic actor. I mean, I never saw him on The Twilight Zone, or anything like that.
I worked at a hospital in Arizona back in 2003, had a patient who was telling me she owned a restaurant “back in the day”, and “Otis, the town drunk would occasionally drive over from California on the weekends to patronize her restaurant. She would always try to comp his meal, but he would insist “No, No, I will sing for my supper”. And he did....And he was good!
There was never supposed to even be a deputy on the show at all originally, it was all to be based on Andy's humor, hence the name of the show, Don Knotts met with the producer at his house and did his routine and convinced the producer to add him to the show!. Andy later said that by the second show, they all knew Barney would be the star of it. The producer later said, "if I am ever remembered at all, it will be for the person that discovered Don."
I don't know which episode is the funniest, where Barney has the toy cars refreshing Otis's driving skills. Or where them old men unhooked his side car from that motorcycle he bought to do "Check point chickie" with.. I roll Everytime I see them old men in front of the court house doing that.. Great job on the video..Thanks .
I love all these clips of Barney Fife! The last one was probably one of the best because it showed how he wasn't afraid of those criminals who tried to bully and tease him. Most of the time Andy helped to keep him out of danger and trouble but this shows that Barney can stand up to people who dare try to disrespect him or his badge. He remembers what Andy told him about how the badge shows that you are the law and that people better respect that.
at 5:21 the man who sees Barney remove his dress has been identified on another site as Danny Thomas' brother, who was often an extra on the Andy Griffith Show.
I have watched this show for over 30 years (reruns). The other day my 24 yo son was here and, of course, I had the AGS on, and I said “sorry, baby, you can change channels” and he said “No, mama, this is my childhood. This has always been in the background, it’s part of my childhood”. I’ve never been so proud 🥲
He created the funniest character I’ve ever seen. He used the old do it like you mean it trick and don’t try to be funny. The scene is already funny so he does it like he means business and it puts me in stitches. Thank you so much for this gem.
To me Andy Griffith all time favorite show.i can watch it all day the show make you feel like family.andy and Don great team.when Don Nott left the show it was sad great show.
This show is and always will be ! Just well wrote , perfect cast and it had a peaceful place to film ! Nothing better then that ! Especially for its time !
This was good stuff, but you left out what I thought was Barney's finest moment of the series. It was the episode in which a publisher, who had a vendetta against Andy over a traffic ticket, tried to besmirch Andy in an article, and Andy was called to a hearing to address charges of malfeasance. The article featured some derogatory remarks that Barney unwittingly made about Andy, and he was called to the witness stand to explain what it was about. On hearing Barney's published statements, Andy is understandably disappointed and angry. But when Barney does an excellent job of exculpating Andy's actions on the witness stand, the hearing commissioner exonerates Andy of any wrongdoing. After the hearing ends, Barney approaches Andy, and with a somewhat feeling of guilt and shame, extends his hand his as a way of consolation. Andy, although initially angry at Barney for what he first thought was betrayal, in turn magnanimously shakes it, showing his admiration for his deputy. Truly one of the most touching moments in the history of the series.
Well said a great synopsis. I enjoyed the hotel dectective where Barney thought the thief was him. The criminal was a superman bad guy. Turned out good because Andy came to the rescue once again
When Don Knotts left the show it just wasn't worth watching anymore! It became early Mayberry RFD!! The best episodes filmed in color were the ones that featured Barney coming back to visit!!
Todd Fowler, I always thought the same, The episode about the Supermarket robberies was a classic although Barney didn't visit Mayberry Andy visited him in Charlotte.
I have watched Andy Griffith all my life I still watch this show from 9am untill 11am an I watch again at 3:30 until 7pm every morning an every evening the Andy Griffith show has respect self respect morals an values laughter singing ups an downs an most of all the good Lord is apart of Andy Griffith too theirs no other that compares to Andy Griffith till this day for me I will never get tired of watching the Andy Griffith show I love all the cast Andy, Aunt Bea, Opie, Barney the whole cast Andy Griffith is the best show ever
As great as Knotts was in comedic roles, he'd have been even greater in serious roles. His more serious bits here and there in these shows are actually my favorite Barney moments.
Like when the old mine caved in..he had no idea Helen and Andy had found another way out..they stayed there until Barney 'saved' them..it was rally cool..
Back in the late 70's, we only had one tv, so I thank my dad for introducing me to Andy and Barney and Barney Miller, Wkrp. And I'm thankful to Me TV for keeping these shows going. And Mash.
Loved this show as a kid, I'm 59, still do but don't get watch it that often. Simpler time back during the filming and in my time, mostly for the better but not always. Anyway this show always gave me a warm fuzzy safe feeling.
it's not until you get a little older that you realize what a fine actor Don Knotts was. His range was incredible. Thank you Don... fine job!
He deserved every Emmy that he was awarded.

How can anyone not like this. I love this show and I'm young
It is because they are locked in insane asylums and don't know any better.

Yeah, Warren just wasn't the replacement or had the personality for that roll.
It just never gets old.
Never!!
Nope, I still look at it today.
Yep, I want probably watched each episode at least 20- 30 times , & I never get tired of it
All time classic
Andy and Barney together are comedic magic ✨
Barney Fife, funniest man in television history! End of story!
@Grant420 respectfully disagree,sir
Al was funny, but not even close, gotta brush up on your Barney brother!
Yep, nuf said
What about Opie?
@@zeroviewers635 great talent, love Ron Howard, legend in the industry, but funniest...there can be only one!
@@mikebreen4381 fair point. very respectable opinion. (tho Barney do be lookin a bit like Frank Sinatra.)
Don Knotts took this show and ran with it and after he left it was never the same.
JayDogTitan 1464 I agree
@@marymassoud349 I loved Barney in The Clubmen and Black day for Mayberry, I laugh so hard at those episodes.
JayDogTitan 1464 those are both great episodes!
His best episodes imo were Barney's Uniform, Andy on Trial and The Shoplifters. Don WAS Barney. He wasn't playing a role he was inhabiting the role.
@@kendallrivers1119 Those episodes are great, Especially The shoplifters when Ben Weaver yelled at Andy in that winy tone "Sheriff get him out of here!!" I laugh so hard at that.

Don Knotts a American icon !!! Forever loved , just watched a few on Metv
I love this show. Even now years later I make time to watch it everyday. I've seen it a 100 times but he still cracks me up. A fine show with two fine Actors. They sadly don't make shows like this anymore. Barney, a little man with a huge Heart.

Wrong. Almost any actor could have played Andy as long as they had Knotts by their side. He was that good.

Supporting actor, Don Knotts carried the show
You could even say he really SUPPORTED the show. 😉
Well he won several Emmies..
Carried? A bit disrespectful to the great work of the WHOLE cast. But Don was certainly the breakout and deservedly so. As well as Gomer of course.
I loved Barny.and still do. I never get tired of watching this amazing show
I'M WATCHING AGAIN RIGHT NOW, LOL! THE 'DANGEROUS CRIMINAL' WAS 'RICOCHET RABBIT', JUST HOPPING AROUNG, LOL!
Don Knotts made this show. When he left it was never the same
Your so right
Don Knotts was the show!!👍💪😎
He was the show
He came back as a guest star 3 or 4 times. He won an Emmy for each appearance.
Then when Andy retired and it became Mayberry RFD it wasn't funny at all.
Warren was an idiot.
Barney, along with Ernest T., would make me laugh so much that my stomach would hurt. Humor like this is gone. It's all F this and F that now. Too bad.
You are on point some of my most enjoyable episodes was Barney and earnest t. Bass I,m 61 now and still enjoy when I can see it
How true !!
You're absolutely right daisy great comedy like this will never be matched again don Howard and Andy were the best
absolutely right about that
I think the first movie I saw Don Knotts in was No Time For Sergeants starring Andy Griffith. It was a pairing made in heaven. One of the funniest movies ever.
How about his "reciting" of the Preamble to the Constitution? Unbelievable comic genius.
Lollll classic
1:46 Barney has a bad habit of shooting the floor with a revolver
Barney was a one man hit team when that bullet was taken out of his pocket.
Barney in drag,I still laugh every time I see it! 😅😂😁
When shows left you with fulfillment.
Don Knotts was so funny and naive, but so soft hearted. He really made the show funny, but ran a top notch Mayberry jail. Ernest T Bass,was really funny too.
Hello Brenda, How are you doing?
Barney and Gomer together were a rip, Barney and Otis together was way to funny and Barney and Ernest T. Was totally hilarious
Especially when Barney was Dr. Pendyke and Gomer was Andy Taylor Sr, and they were buying Miracle Salve.
Yeah. Remember that episode when Barney dressed up like a bride when the Darlings were on? Dang that was funny.
No one makes me laugh like Barney.
Amen!
I love how Andy Griffith, in discussing the genesis of TAGS, always gave credit to Don Knotts for the success of the show.

What a cast this show had, think about it, it takes alot of people to make it work, including the director too. They feed off each other and this show was back n the 60's. Barney is the best and there was NO one else that could bring cashew fudge to his sweetie THELMA LOU !!!
Mary you win the award for having the clearest picture shot off a tv in youtube history, congrats!
The haunted house one was the best. Old Barney wasn’t scared of no ghost. 😂

@Liberty AboveAllElse Yes, I had forgotten about that one. It's too bad he was only a comedic actor. I mean, I never saw him on The Twilight Zone, or anything like that.
I really enjoyed it. Thanks. One of the best scenes ever was Barney’s thunderstorm/giraffe speech in Dogs, Dogs, Dogs.
I wish directors used more of his complete acting skills including his ability to be somber and vulnerable, not just the perpetually nervous type.

Truly a great show. Don Knotts was just such a funny man.
Barney and Thelma Lou should have gotten married on their last appearance on the show
Watch "return to Mayberry" it's a 1986 film with 14 of the 16 original cast.
Barney was the type of character who hit it and quit it...
You can't help but love Barney.He made the show.andy and Don were always best friend.
I think they did in the reunion show, in the 1980s?

My favorite is when Barney took Goober to spy on Andy & Helen so Goob could see how a smooth operator made his move.
Lol!! Yeah, oh! That's just a diversion. Look! He just floats that arm right out there. Oh he's smooth.. lol!!!
Goober starts shouting "way to go Andy"! Classic.
When tv was wholesome
I love all these clips of Barney Fife! The last one was probably one of the best because it showed how he wasn't afraid of those criminals who tried to bully and tease him. Most of the time Andy helped to keep him out of danger and trouble but this shows that Barney can stand up to people who dare try to disrespect him or his badge. He remembers what Andy told him about how the badge shows that you are the law and that people better respect that.

Awesome job on editing.
Thank you so much
Andy was such a great man I grew up on this show and mash.. but more so this.. I learned so much from this show
THELMA LOU! ShE was HOT!!!""
The last scene you selected was a great choice! Thanks!
I just love seeing these shows. Can never get tired of them.
So this is why Mr. Furley was so nuts!😂💜
Back in the late 70's, we only had one tv, so I thank my dad for introducing me to Andy and Barney and Barney Miller, Wkrp. And I'm thankful to Me TV for keeping these shows going. And Mash.
Top of my list of old school 80s or 90s every night reruns after practice dinner's ready shows.
Loved this show as a kid, I'm 59, still do but don't get watch it that often. Simpler time back during the filming and in my time, mostly for the better but not always. Anyway this show always gave me a warm fuzzy safe feeling.
You left out the best one .... when barney defended Andy in his impeachment trial with his wonderful speech
This character is such a legend that Barney Fife is part of American lexicon.
When I play Poker; if I get a 10 and a 4 in my hand in seven card I call it a Barney Fife

Don Knotts was one of my favorite actors and i miss him R.I.P my Friend Mr Knotts (1924-2006)
When I first saw him try and look like Rock Hudson.....That became my favorite 🙉
Even my Japanese wife cracks up over it 😁
