Which one did you like him better on? i thought he was funnier and the character was better on 3s Company. On Andy Griffin he was like the only Funny person on the show, where 3s Company jack,janet,cindy,chrissy,ropers,larry or terri...they were all funny. I thought Don Kotts was good on Andy Griffin too.

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

The Andy Griffith show.

Andy Griffith Show, without a doubt. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/cool.gif

Definitely The Andy Griffith Show

Don knotts was funny on both shows. But I think he was funnier as Mr. Furley on Three's Company. Barney Fife was somewhat annoying on The Andy Griffith Show. So my vote goes to . . . Mr. Furley on THREE'S COMPANY.

TAGS, no contest. Barney Fife is one of the greatest tv characters of all time.

Don Knotts was a good Furley, but he was born to play Barn.

I liked him better in Three's Company.Even though I thought he was funny in TAGS too.

I definitely thought Don made a much better showing on The Andy Griffith Show. I thought he shone as Barney. As Mr. Furley, he had fewer redeeming qualities. I could see Barney becoming a bit like Mr. Furley as he aged, you know, the "swingin' bachelor, but some of the traits that made Barney so special are missing from Mr. Furley. I think that's because the basic makeup of "Three's Compnay" had fewer redeeming qualities than The Andy Griffith Show, and I am sure the writers had totally different assignments to compose dialogues and character for the two separate show. In the final analysis, "Three's Company" comes off funny, but also a bit sleazy, a bit silly, and definitely the message each time was lame: "The roommates have a misunderstanding and have to work it out." The Andy Griffith show, however, dealt with issues of loyalty, compassion, honesty, integrity, and while making us laugh, also showed us how to be better people. No wonder Barney shone.

In one of the mysterious nooks of my memory bank Barney lives as a real person that I think about and miss in some intangible way. Mr. Furley is only a TV character.

I definitely liked him better on Andy Griffith. Barney was odd and kooky, but in a realistic way. As Mr. Furly he was just too wierd - mostly those clothes - yech!

Threes, definatly. He wasn't all that interesting to me on TAGS (Actually, TAGS as a whole is pretty boring, IMHO). I liked Mr.Furley better in the last four seasons then in his first, when he was pretty mean. TC had a lot of morals if you dig deep enough, such as don't lie and stick with your friends.
