Default Don Knotts: Barney Fife or Mr. Furley?

Which character you like him better as? BF is what defined his career and brought him fame, I'll go with the Ralph Furley character. He brought a different kind of energy as Mr. Furley. He was wackier than Barney Fife. Plus, RF was square in a hip way, which made him off the chain! LOL

Mr. Furley. He did an awesome job playing that character. It was completely different then Barney Fife, and he did a good job at being a different type of person.
