Barney Fife

Now if it comes to Mr. Furley vs. Mr. Roper, then Furley wins.

Wow - surprised it's that way - I LOVED goofy Barney, and I think because of that, I never could get into the Furley character - if anything, it was the season Don joined the show that I really stopped watching. Couldn't picture "Barn" being Mr. Sauve.

Definately Mr. Furley. Barney Fife was excellent too, but Mr. Furley was so hilarious. He was always full of surprises and you never knew what he was going to do next. Don really did a good job with both characters. He will be sadly missed.

I'm not a big fan of either show... but IMO Barney Fife MADE the Andy Griffith Show. My mom loves Andy Griffith but will not watch the later color episodes without Barney in them.

I'm totally with your mom there. You always have the feeling that something is missing in those shows - and it IS - Barn! No one else could compare.
