Barney Fife [1960-1965], played by Don Knotts
Barney Fife is Mayberry's Deputy Sheriff and wants to do his job by the book - an approach which often brings him into conflict with Sheriff Taylor and the people of Mayberry. Barney can make abrupt decisions that he sometimes regrets. In one episode, he suspects a rookie lawman wants his job and quits his deputy position to become a vacuum cleaner salesman. Barney has several girlfriends: Miss Rosemary, Hilda May, and Bluebird Diner waitress Juanita. Barney's steady girlfriend however is Thelma Lou. They often double date with Andy and Helen. Barney left Mayberry in the fifth season to take a job in Raleigh. He returned over the last few seasons to make five guest appearances. |
