View Full Version : Ralph Vs. Barney Sean Snow 07-06-2001, 12:34 PM Who do you think Don Knotts played better: Barney Fife or Ralph Furley of Three's Company? I think Ralph Furley because I really don't like the TAGS very much. DarleneIllyria 07-06-2001, 05:59 PM I would def. have to say Barney Fife. I love The Andy Griffith Show!!! ------------------ Hottest Men alive: Dale Midkiff Anthony Starke Tim McGraw Jonathon Crombie sar 07-08-2001, 12:33 PM Barney Fife without a doubt. Furley was just an updated city version of Barn in a leisure suit. Not that Knotts was bad as Furley, it's just that he is Barn first, last and always. That was Don Knotts character in pretty much everything he did and nobody does it better. Moondance 07-31-2001, 11:07 AM Barney Fife!! Barney was the best and funniest! Lol!

Then he searched the human race and named my Shirley, Angel Face! bfuller07 02-02-2008, 04:45 PM I liked Barney better, but Ralph was very funny on Three's Company. tanquant 02-02-2008, 04:52 PM Barney all the way. I loved him also as Furley. He was so much better than the Ropers IMO. AB 02-02-2008, 11:40 PM Barney for sure! BarneyFife 03-07-2008, 01:52 PM I liked Barney better, but after watching Threes company alot the last 4 or 5 months, Mr. Furley was pretty darn funny. catlover79 04-02-2008, 04:03 PM Toss up. He was great in both roles. :D tdr 04-04-2008, 04:27 PM Don Knotts was good at playing his nervous, can't-hide-anything character in just about everything he did, including as Furley in 3C. But it was TAGS in which he really fine-tuned that character, and it went far in making the show the hit that it was. 3C was already a hit as he took over, and I don't think he improved anything over Stanley Roper and Helen. He was still funny, but he wasn't the primary comedy element that he was in TAGS and his string of movies. So I say it's as Barney Fife.

It's easy to see how Don Knotts won all those emmys for that role. jimpickens 05-14-2008, 01:08 AM Barney Fife was his best TV role. floyd2006 05-15-2008, 11:51 PM First how could you not like Tags? I dont think i'm out of line when I say its the best show ever made, its great for kids and adults. Don Knotts will always be remembered as his role as Barney Fife so obviously I pick Barney over Ralph. rusyd 05-16-2008, 12:11 AM Barney for sure. The show soured after he left. Sure there were some good eps after his departure, but it wasn't the same. dav4463 08-08-2008, 01:48 AM He was the same guy as Barney Fife, Ralph Furley, or the Reluctant Astronaut! A genius!
